Alan was the son of Richard de Singleton.
Broughton was given by William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, and Earl of Warren (between 1153-1160), to Ughtred, son of Huck, to hold by the service of 8s. (Dodsworth MSS. cxlix., f. 49). It descended to Richard, son of the said Ughtred, who was put out of seisin by Theobald Walter. King John afterwards seized it, upon the death of Theobald, and in the Survey of 1212, it is described as being in the King's hands (Testa, ii., f. 822]. Afterwards the King gave it to William le Sauser, but it was restored to Alan de Singleton, son of Richard, by Henry III, and was in the hands of Alan's son and heir, William de Singleton, on the 22nd March, 1261, when it was found by inquisition that the manor ought not to be tallaged (Escaeta, 45 Hen. IIL, No. 37). He (William) was the father of Alan de Singleton, and probably of Thomas, both named in this concord.. [1]
