Biography

Keats-Rohan has an entry for him called "Filius Forne, Ivo":^[1]

Son of Forne fitz Sigulf of Greystoke, Cumberland, whom he succeeded c.1129. He died before 1156, leaving a son Walter (d.1162) by his wife Agnes. Father also of Robert (father of Henry), Adam (father of Robert), William (father of William) and Alice, wife of Edgar son of Earl Gospatrick (EYC ii, 1241), ancestor of the Kilstern family. See EYC ii, 505ff; Sanders, 50.

Sanders, cited by Keats-Rohan, points out that in the Pipe Roll of 31 Henry I (1129/1130) Ivo proferreed 110s to take possession of his recently deceased father's lands.^[2]

Farrer and Clay, also cited by Keats-Rohan, give more details.^[3]

Ivo, son of Forne, and Agnes his wife gave to the church of St. Mary, Carlisle, a carucate in Stainton, in the parish of Dacre, and 2 messuages. The gift was confirmed by their son Walter, and grandson Ranulf. [Mon. Angl., vi, 144b. The confirmation is wrongly described in the Ancestor, vi, 124.] Ivo does not appear to have been a man of much activity, for his name seldom appears in contemporary records. He died before 1156, when Henry de Oilli, his nephew, was pardoned 20s. of Danegeld in Yorkshire, apparently in respect of the Greystoke fee in that county, and in Coniscliffe, co. Durham.[Pipe R., 2 Hen, II, 27.] This may indicate a favour obtained by De Oilli for Ivo's heir. The names of Ivo's children were : Walter the heir, Robert, Adam, William,[ ib., 27 Hen. II, 26 ; Cumb.] and a daughter Alice, said to have been married by her father to Edgar, the illegitimate son of earl Gospatric. [See a charter (of dubious authenticity) in this series. Also Hist, of Northunb. vii. 39.]
