Ita quod Prior et Conventus Prioratus prædicti habeant et teneant sibi et succ. suis redditus et possessiones, unde Cantaria primitus extitit fundata, ad inveniendum quendam Canonicum regularem divina singulis diebus in Capella prædicta pro salubri statu Regis et filiorum suorum, ac ipsius Willelmi, dum vixerint, et pro animabus suis cum ab hac luce migraverint, ac animabus Johannis de Stokeslay ac Cecilia,3 uxoris ejus, et Willelmi filii eorumdem Johannis et Cecilia,3 cunctorumque fidelium defunctorum, celebraturum imperp.

1 medicante. 2 autoritate. 3 Cicilia.

Probably a mistake for "Ada de Torp."

5 Note by Dodsworth, "Carta Adæ de Ballol, filiæ Hugonis de Ballol,

quæ habuit manerium de Stokesley in liberum maritagium." Her husband, John FitzRobert, died in 1240, and she herself on July 29, 1251, so the date of this charter is between these years (Yorkshire Inquisitions, i. 25).

Frenchman must have been her second husband.

3 Misreadings by Dodsworth. 'Near Middlesbrough. This charter is of very early date, as Robert de Brus, the founder, occurs amongst the witnesses. William Engeiram, the father of the donor, gave a carucate at Ayresome (Arusum) to the Priory at the time it was founded

(Vol. i. p. 3). He was the uncle of Walter Engelram of Arncliff (No. 1095). The name of John Engelram's wife is not known. His daughter and heiress, Adelina, married Robert, son of Ernisius. They are all mentioned in a deed by which they gave land here to the cell of Middlesbrough (Whitby Chart. i. 105, 107).

1 fratre.

2 filia mea.

3 Probably an error for Lacneby, now Lackenby. See No. 379.

4 Hamo was Precentor at York about 1196 (No. 1102).

5 It is not clear whose son-in-law Philip de Kyme is.

Michaelis versus austrum, in lib., quiet., pur. et perp. elem., per metas illas quas septa Canonicorum a nobis concessa demonstrant. H. T. Rogero Capellano, R . . ., Ada Capellano, Ada Clerico de Malton, Willelmo Capellano de Sivelingt[on], Willelmo Bainard, Hugone de Corneburch, Hugone Buche de Giseburne, Willelmo de Sceltun, et m. a. (Dodsworth MSS. vii. 94).

1 In 1218-9 the Sheriff of Yorkshire was commanded to distrain the Prior of Guiseburne for £35 1s. 2d. of the debt of Aaron and Richard Blundus, whose (cujus) house he had in York (Memoranda Roll, 3 Hen. III., m. 10).

2 Printed in Dugdale's Monasticon Anglicanum, vi. 267, "ex ipso autographo in Turri B. Mariæ Eboraci." Dodsworth in another place (xcv. 47) gives a brief abstract of this charter. The rectory of Sinnington was in the possession of the Prioress of Yed

ingham at the Reformation. In 9 Hen. II. Roger de Clera paid 20s. for Shivelinton (Pipe Roll, p. 60). In 13 Hen. 11. he paid half a marc for Sivelinton, and the same amount for Wilton (Ibid. pp. 97, 99). Two years later he paid two marcs apiece for Sivelingeton and Will'ton. He also appears to have had land in Hampshire (Ibid. pp. 41, 155). The relationship between him and his successor, Ralph de Clere, does not appear. Dodsworth (MSS. vii. 185)
