The Maulovel Family

Beatrice (_____) Maulovel

Married: Stephen Maulovel
A grant of November 1342 sought prayers for this family, including "Robert Maulovel and Beatrice his wife"
The Journal of Ecclesiastical History vol 52 pp214-5 (Clifford William Dugmore, 2001)
A grant of November 1342 sought prayers for Stephen Maulovel, knight; Robert Maulovel and Beatrice his wife; Stephen Maulovel and Petronilla his wife; and Robert, Hugh and William Maulovel. All were buried in the chapel of St Mary in Rampton church (Notts.) which must have been a veritable family mausoleum.

Elizabeth (Maulovel, Stanhope) Arden

Birth: Elizabeth was still a minor in 29 Edward III (1355-6) when her inheritance of Rampton was held by Queen Philippa (queen of Edward III) and her wardship was conferred on Roger de Bellocampo (The Antiquities of Nottinghamshire p393 (Robert Thoroton, 1677)).

Father: Stephen Maulovel

Mother: Frances (de Meryng) Maulovel

Married (1st): John Stanhope
This marriage occurred before 27 January 1364(5) when the manor of Rampton was settled on "John de Stannop, and Elizabeth his wife" (Feet of Fines: CP 25/1/185/33 #396)

Children: Married (2nd): Roger Arden

This marriage had occurred by 24 September 1383 when the Patent Rolls records that Elizabeth and Roger "are living together in matrimony" (Calendar of the Patent Rolls 1381-1385 p307).

Not sure what to make of this, but it gives us a date by which we know Elizabeth's marriage to Roger Arden had occurred, and by which John Stanhope must have died.

Stephen Malovel, the Father of Elizabeth, who had to her first husband John Stanhope, the son of Richard Stanhope, a Burgess of Newcastle; and to her second Roger Arden, by whom she had Raph Arden; but her eldest son and heir was John Stanhope of Rampton, who married the heir Cuily, as in Oxton is noted, but had no issue, for Richard Stanhope, 22 R. 2. was found to be full age, and the heir of Agnes, the wife of Reginald de Everingham Chr. who was daughter and heir of John Lungvillers, whose sister Elizabeth, was mother of Stephen (Malovel) Father of Elizabeth, mother of the said Richard Stanhope, who thereby became heir of both Families, Mallovell and Lungvilers, as in Tuxford is shown already, to whom also the third part that Mannor likewise descended from the heirs Female of the Families of Marcham and Lexington.
   At the Assizes at Nott. 29 E. 3. Galfr. de Cotes Parson of the Church of Ketelby impleaded Roger de Maloell of Rampton, John Braytoft, Herry Wright of Lanum, and Henry Bere of Torkesey, concerning his Free-hold in Rampton, viz. a Were, &c. They came not, but William Heron answered for them, that Stephen Maloell was sometime seized of the Manor of Rampton, of which that Were was part, which be held of Queen Philip, as of the Honour of Tikhill, and thereof died seized, after whose death the said Queen seized the said Mannor into her hand, by reason of the minority of Elizabeth, daughter and heir of the said Stephen, and conferred the Marriage and Custody of her the said Elizabeth, on Roger de Bellocampo, &c. The Jury found that the said Galfr. was disseized by John Braytoft only, but the Judges could not proceed to Judgement (by reason of the fore-mentioned Wardship) without the Kings knowledge.
  The Mannor of Rampton, with the Appurtenances, was by Fine, 38 and 39 E. 3. between Will. de Eton, Vicar of the Church of Rampton, and John, son of Robert de Lanum, Plaintiffs, and John de Stannop, and Elizabeth his wife, Deforc. settled on the said John and Elizabeth, and the heirs of their bodies; remainder to the heirs of the body of Elizabeth, remainder to Richard Stannop for life, remainder to the right heirs of Elizabeth.

The Visitations of the County of Nottingham in the Years 1569 and 1614 p5 (William Flower, 1871) describes Elizabeth as "Elizabetha Malovell heres de Houghton et Rampton"

The Peerage of England vol 3 pp254-5 (Arthur Collins, 1768)
In 41 Edw. III. 1366, he was mayor of that town; and in 48 Edw. III. 1373. constituted escheator for the counties of Nottingham and Derby, an office not inferior to that of sheriff, which was then of great trust and authority. At which time he was denominated of Rampton, having added to his patrimony a good estate in Nottinghamshire, by marriage with Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Stephen Maulovel (of Rampton aforesaid) who was son and heir of Robert Maulovel, by Elizabeth, his wife, daughter to Thomas, Lord Longvilers, and sister to Sir John de Longvilers, of Tuxford in Nottinghamshire, Knt. grandson and heir to Thomas Longvilers, one of the Barons of the realm in the reign of King Edward III. by his wife Berta, daughter and coheir of Robert Markham, son and heir of Richard Markham, by Isabel his wife, sister and heir of Richard de Lexinton, Lord of Tuxford in com’ Nottingh.

Notices of the Stanhopes as Esquires and Knights p7 (Philip Henry Stanhope, 1855)
Sir JOHN DE STANHOPE, Knight, Lord of the Manor of Rampton, and of several more, through his marriage with ELIZABETH MAULOVEL, heiress of Maulovel, Longvillers, and Lexington. By her he had one daughter, Margaret, and five sons, John, Richard, Stephen, Robert, and Ralph.

The History of Parliament: the House of Commons 1386-1421 (J.S. Roskell, 1993) entry for STANHOPE, Sir Richard (c.1374-1436)
The Stanhopes were particularly fortunate to secure, through marriage, the two manors of Rampton and Haughton, which constituted the inheritance of Elizabeth Malovell. Thanks to the territorial influence which she brought him, her husband, John Stanhope, was able to play a leading part in the Nottinghamshire community, serving as escheator there and in Derbyshire, and also sitting for some time on the local bench. That he continued to pursue a variety of mercantile interests is evident from the substantial debts which he owed at the time of his death. His widow and her second husband, Roger Ardern, were, indeed, outlawed for their refusal to appear in court when being sued by the aggrieved creditors, and although they obtained royal letters of pardon in 1383, Stanhope’s son, Richard, the subject of this biography, was still being called to account for part of the money 16 years later.

The History of the Manor of Rampton, in Nottinghamshire printed in Transactions of the Thoroton Society vol 24 (Rev. H. Chadwick, 1920)
Stephen was succeeded by Robert, his son and heir, who was lord of the Manor in 1316, receiving in that year a parliamentary writ. Thoroton states that he married Elizabeth, daughter of John Longuillers, but in an inquisition, date 1341, and also in the Subsidy Roll of 1327, her name is Petronilla. William de Anne, Constable of Tykehill Castle, would have distrained him for not doing knight's service for the Manor of Rampton, but he was forbidden to do so, in as much as Robert had done homage to the King.
...
Both Robert and Petronilia died while Stephen their son and heir was a minor, and so the estates were held by the King, in whose hands was also the honour of Tickhill. He appears to have given them into the custody of his wife Queen Isabella. She held Rampton in 1330, during the minority of Stephen. In 1341 they were held by Queen Philippa, wife of Edward III. In a letter to Thomas de Longevillers, dated 1341, she states that she has granted the custody of one third part of the Manor of Rampton to Eleanor de Gisteles, the honour being in her hands by reason of the death of Petronilla Maulovell. If Stephen, son of Robert Maulovell, died before attaining his full age, then Eleanor, the wife of Wolford de Gisteles, granted the same to Thomas de Longvillers, grandfather of Stephen, i.e., during the minority of the heir of Rampton.


Death: Robert died in the period after 15 December 1324 when he is mentioned in an order from the king not to distrain him (Calendar of Close Rolls, Edward II 1323-1327 pp243-4) and before 15 August 1341 when he is described as deceased in a letter to Thomas de Longevillers.

Stephen; or a son his of the same name, was Father of Robert Malluvell, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thomas de Lungvilers

The History of the Manor of Rampton, in Nottinghamshire printed in Transactions of the Thoroton Society vol 24 (Rev. H. Chadwick, 1920)
  Stephen was succeeded by his nephew of the same name, son of his brother Robert, who was then only 161/2 years old. In 1294 an order was issued to the escheator to take the lands of Stephen into the King's hands, Stephen the younger would be of age in 1298.
...  In 1310, both Stephen and William were killed by Hubert de Tyreswell. How this happened we do not know. Hubert may have killed his neighbour on purpose, or by accident in a quarrel or drunken brawl.
  In the Patent Rolls it is stated that "on October 28th, 1310, pardon was granted to Hugh de Treswell for the death of Stephen and William Maulovellof Rampton." He probably obtained pardon by fighting for the King in Scotland. The men of Treswell appear to have taken possession of his goods, for in 1315 an order was issued (Close Rolls) to the men of Treswell to restore his goods and chattels, but the men of Treswell were not to be aggrieved on account of the said goods.
  Stephen was succeeded by Robert, his son and heir, who was lord of the Manor in 1316, receiving in that year a parliamentary writ.


Death: 1309, killed by Hubert de Tyreswell
Stephen and his brother, William, were killed by Hubert de Tyreswell. The probate of Stephen's will was granted on 12 April 1309, so Stephen's killing likely occurred a few months before this. Hubert fled, but he was pardoned by King Edward II in 1310, possibly a result of good service in Scotland, and in 1316 and his goods and chattels, that had been seized, were ordered to be returned to him.

Stephen Maulovel

Birth: between 1320 and 1326
Stephen was still a minor on 15 August 1341, at which date his father was deceased and Stephen's inheritance was held in the custody of Eleanor de Gisteles until he reached full age. This indicates he was born later than 15 August 1320. The History of the Manor of Rampton, in Nottinghamshire printed in Transactions of the Thoroton Society vol 24 (Rev. H. Chadwick, 1920) states that Stephen was of age in 1346, putting his birth earlier than 1326.

The Peerage of England vol 3 p255 (Arthur Collins, 1768)

The History of the Manor of Rampton, in Nottinghamshire printed in Transactions of the Thoroton Society vol 24 (Rev. H. Chadwick, 1920)
Both Robert and Petronilia died while Stephen their son and heir was a minor, and so the estates were held by the King, in whose hands was also the honour of Tickhill. He appears to have given them into the custody of his wife Queen Isabella. She held Rampton in 1330, during the minority of Stephen. In 1341 they were held by Queen Philippa, wife of Edward III. In a letter to Thomas de Longevillers, dated 1341, she states that she has granted the custody of one third part of the Manor of Rampton to Eleanor de Gisteles, the honour being in her hands by reason of the death of Petronilla Maulovell. If Stephen, son of Robert Maulovell, died before attaining his full age, then Eleanor, the wife of Wolford de Gisteles, granted the same to Thomas de Longvillers, grandfather of Stephen, i.e., during the minority of the heir of Rampton. However, Stephen was of age in 1346, and in that year did homage of the lord of Tickhill, paying one knight's fee and one quarter knight's fee. He married Frances, daughter of Thomas de Mering.

Death: 1309, killed by Hubert de Tyreswell
William and his brother, Stephen, were killed by Hubert de Tyreswell. The probate of Stephen's will was granted on 12 April 1309, so Stephen and William's killing likely occurred a few months before this. Hubert fled, but he was pardoned by King Edward II in 1310, possibly a result of good service in Scotland, and in 1316 and his goods and chattels, that had been seized, were ordered to be returned to him.
