“JAN. 20. DUNFERMLINE – Grant to Nicholas Malemeyns, King’s yeoman, to the use of his daughter, of the marriage of John son and heir of William de Hardreseshull, tenant in chief, and in case of the death of John, of the marriage of the next heir.

HARDRESHULL OF HARDRESHULL, ETC.; HISTORY OF SALEBY;
page 36/37 quoted on this website https://groups.google.com/g/soc.genealogy.medieval/c/iRSn2g8hGeU/m/-bIN3AHzCe8J
“John, the elder son and heir, was, as we have seen, twelve years old at the time of his father’s death in 1303 (the ‘father’ is William Hardreshull). The following year Nicholas Malemeyns King’s yeoman received a grant for his daughter of the marriage of John, son and heir of William de Hardreshull, tenant in chief, and in the case of the death of John, of the marriage of the next heir [3].
John de Hardreshull being of age in 1313 did his homage and had delivery of his lands. As soon as he was of age, or perhaps earlier, he married Maud Mussenden [1].
Nicholas Malemeyns’ elder daughters were either too young for marriage or had found better matches, Katherine the youngest afterwards married William, John’s son and heir.

“In these years John de Hardreshull probably lost his wife, his son William, the latter’s wife Katherine, and her father Nicholas Malemeyns, for they were all dead in 1350.”
Page 41
“By his first wife Maud, Sir John de Hardreshull had a son William, and three daughters, Margaret, Elizabeth and Joan.
William married Katherine, one of the daughters of Nicholas Malmayns, and the following memorandum no doubt refers to his marriage settlement:
‘Be it remembered that a certain donation of the manor of North Kellesay and a fine levied thereof was made at York between Sir John de Hardrishull and William his son and the wife of the said William in three weeks after the feast of St Michael the Archangel 7 Edw. III (1333) at which time Philip de Hardreshull gave the manor of Kellesay to the said Sir John and he immediately gave it to William his son and his wife, by a fine levied in the King’s court as above. And Sir John de Hardreshull gave to Philip his uncle all his lands and tenements in ….. year 18 of King Edward of Carnarvon’ [1325] [4]”
[4] Harl. Charter 76 D, 42 on d.
Page 42
“William died, as we have seen in his father’s life-time, leaving an only daughter Margaret. Both he and his wife were dead in 1349, for in that year the King presented to the church of Rothwell by reason of the minority of Margaret daughter of William de Hardeshill, kinswoman and one of the heirs of Nicholas Malmayns Knt.
In 1350, when the inquest was held after the death of Nicholas Malmayns, his heirs were found to be – Margaret daughter of William de Hardeshull aged four years, Beatrice daughter of Nicholas and wife of Otto de Grandessone of full age, and Elizabeth aged eight and Alice seven years, daughters of Thomas St. Omer and Petronilla his wife, another daughter of Nicholas.
Margaret evidently died an infant for her name does not occur in any of the later settlements, and we find nothing further relating to her.”
Chancery Proceedings
The Genealogist : https://archive.org/details/genealogist04lond1887/page/76/mode/2up?q=malemayne
Bill in Chancery
dated between May 1518 and October 1529
The Bill of Complaint, addressed to the Lord Chancellor, forms the starting point in the pleadings. It contains the wrong the complainant has suffered by the party complained of, the damage thereby sustained, and petition of process against the defendant for redress. The following short example will, however, more clearly explain the nature of a Bill in Chancery, and at the same time shew the value of these documents to the genealogist :-

JOHN NEWDEGATE
In a brief answer, Culpepper says that the above Bill is “incerteyn and insufficient and the matter therin conteyned aparauntly determynable att the Comon Lawe” and therefore prays that it may be dismissed, with his reasonable costs, for his wrongful vexation sustained in this behalf.
Thomas Wolsey, appointed Cardinal Legate 17 May, 1518. This Bill is, therefore, after 17 May 1518 and before 17 Oct 1529.
Errors in the Bill of Complaint
At least 168 years elapsed between the above IPM's and the Bill of Complaint but there are significant errors in the latter.
- Only two daughters of Nicholas and Alice Malemayn are named
- Petronell
- Kateryn
- There is no mention of Beatrice/Beatrix Grandison nee Malmains the wife of Sir Otto Grandison
- Petronell has been 'married' to the incorrect husband - she married Sir Thomas St Omar not Philip Hoo, knight
- Kateryn has been 'married' to the incorrect husband - she married William de Hardreshull not Henry Newdegate knight
Newdegate/Malmayns connection
The family connections suggested in the above Bill of Complaint are incorrect, but there is an earlier Newdegate/Malmayns connection contained in the Newdegate family papers which are held at the Warwickshire Records Office.
A copy of a charter (Ref CR0136/B848) by Nicholas Newdegate, dated 24th January 1295/6, confirms his marriage with Alice, who was the daughter of Nicholas Malmayns.[13]
No further information found yet regarding the above Nicholas Newdegate/Alice Malmayns, but the date of marriage (1295/6) would suggest that Alice could be the sister of Malmayns-10 and the aunt of the three daughters of Malmayns-10 listed in the IPM's.
