Notes

Henry of Scriven, living 1303 (31 Edward I)...

Henry de Scriven, forester of Knarlesborough (from The History and Topography of Harrogage:

In the 31st year, Henry de Scriven petitioned Edward I (reigned 1272 - 1307) that he should be reinstated to his ancestral position of head forester of Knarlesborough. Edward would get certain rights, like grazing and haying. This was in the 1300’s. He was also given rights to use the property, as long as he didn’t cut down any hardwood (oak or ash) or fruitbearing trees. He would also have rights to graze and plow with his oxen in Bilton. Part of the reason for this was that the Knarlesborough forest had trouble with outlaws like Sherwood Forest did.

Before Henry, his father Baldwin had been forester, and before him, Gammel Auceps, the original forester of Henry I. Henry was followed by his son Thomas. The line ended when a Johanna, daughter of Henry, married William of Slingsby.

This genealogical line is from a second source and says that there were TWO Henry de Scrivens, the second one being the father of Johanna de Scriven who married Slingsby and brought to the marriage the Scriven estate.
