This thirteen-volume series, which first appeared between 1914 and 1965, is an extensive collection of the pre-thirteenth-century charters and related records of Yorkshire, which had previously remained largely unpublished. The first three volumes were edited by William Farrer (1861–1924), after whose death Charles Travis Clay (1885–1978) took up the task. The 13th volume is the indexing of volumes 1 -3.

"From a note in the chartulary we learn that the canons possessed 2 tillages of 10 acres of land in Cloughton and the advowson (dos) of the chapel there by the gift of Eustace Fitz-John1. They obtained other tenements there from Adam de Dugelby and others." 1 “Chartul., p.275”. [This is the Chartulary of Bridlington Priory]

A search of Abstracts of the Charters and Other Documents contained in the Chartulary of the Priory of Bridlington in the East Riding of the County of York. By W. T. Lancaster, F. S. A., 1912, Leeds, found no mention of Eustace Fitz-John on page 275.

On page 213, folio 158 there is confirmation by King Henry (I) of the grant of land and the chapel at Cloughton by Eustace Fitz-John. “William son of Nigel gave the Church of Flainburg, and Eustace Fitz John granted and in its dedication annexed to the same Church a bovate of land. The Church of Couton also the same Eustace gave.”

A search of Abstracts of the Charters and Other Documents contained in the Chartulary of the Priory of Bridlington in the East Riding of the County of York. By W. T. Lancaster, F. S. A., 1912, Leeds, found no mention of the grant by Adam de Duggleby to the canons of Bridlington priory on page 275.

However several references to land held in Cloughton by the canons as the gift of Adam were found (e.g. page 280). Unfortunately most of these were undated.

Gift by Juliana Trussebut, widow of William Aguillun, to Kirkham priory of a culture in the territory of Kirby [Grindalythe] which William her husband had given her; to hold freely of her and her heirs, saving the farm of 12d. yearly to William de Ros and his heirs. [later than 1225]

MS. Dodsworth vii, f. 195v, from the original formerly in St. Mary's Tower, York.

Omnibus has literas visuris vel audituris Juliana Trussebuth salutem. Noverit universitas vestra quod ego Juliana quondam uxor Wille1mi Aguilun in ligia viduitate et plena mea potestate posita dedi concessi et hac presenti carta mea confirmavi et quietam clamavi de me et de heredibus meis Deo et ecclesie sancte Trinitatis de Kirkeham et canonicis ibidem Deo servientibus pro salute anime mee et Willelmi Aguillun quondam mariti mei et omnium parentum et antecessorum meorum illam culturam cum pertinentiis in territorio de Kirkeby que vocatur Calangelflat quam idem Willelmus vir meus michi dedit et carta sua confirmavit vel cui assignare voluero; habendum et tenendum libere et quiete et solute de me et de heredibus meis ut predictum est inperpetuum, salva firma duodecim denariorum Willelmo de Ros et heredibus suis reddendo annuatim ad Pentecosten. Et ut hec mea donacio et confirmacio rata permaneat et inconcussa hanc cartam sigilli mei apposicione roboravi. Hiis testibus, Gerardo Saluain, Radulfo de Auteriue, Rogero de Turgiselby, Waltero fratre ejus, Willelmo Aguillun, Ada[m] de Diuegilby, Helia fratre ejus, Gerardo de Turgiselby, Alano Boniface, Roberto Putrel, Willelmo Muhaut, Roberto West, Roberto Ginnay.

Farrer has given notes on the Aguillun family, who held tenancies in Kirby Grindalythe and Mowthorpe of the Fossard fee1. The husband of Juliana Trussebut was William Aguillun III, who succeeded his father Ingram Aguillun not later than 1204. He gave to Juliana his wife this culture (Calangeflat), which he was holding of Robert de Ros and which Thomas Boniface had quitclaimed to him, a yearly rent of 12d. to Robert de Ros to be paid by her; among the witnesses were Roger Trussebut and William his brother2. Thomas Boniface also quitclaimed it to his lord Robert de Ros as being the culture which William Aguillun had claimed from him; and among the witnesses were Roger and William Trussebut.
These two charters were issued before the retirement of Robert de Ros in 1226, and Juliana's 'charter was issued after he had been succeeded by William de Ros, his son. Although the land was held of the Ros fee, derived from Waiter Espec, and had no connexion with the Trussebut fee, it is included here in view of the grantor's name. The witnesses Roger and his brother William Trussebut to the earlier charters suggest that Juliana was a member of their branch of the family (see p. 20).

[early 13th cent.]

Confirmation by William de Percy [II] to Markby Priory of land, etc., in Thorpe le Vale [par. Ludford, co. Lincoln]. [ante 1175]. … This charter was produced in a case in which the prior complained that Richard de Percy had distrained him to do forinsec service for 6 bovates in Frumthorpe which the prior held of Adam son of Henry de Dingelby^[1] for 20s. yearly; Richard, while recognizing the char­ter, said that the heir of Drew de Monte Acuto held the fee of him for the service of a sixth of a knight’s fee; it was considered that Richard should not distrain the prior, but should apply to Drew’s heir if he wished. The Morers family held an interest in Frunthorpe, later known as Thorpe le Vale.

Hiis testibus, Alano canonico, Stephano eanonieo, magistro Paulino filio episeopi, Thoma presbitero filio Isaae, Roberto clerico suo filio Simonis, Willelmo clerico filio Willelmi Tillem[ire], Lamberto presbitero, Gaufrido presbitero de domo, David lard[inario], Roberto filio Petri, Teobaldo diaeono, Willelmo subdiacono, Willelmo de Boneuille, Philippo filio Baldewyne, Simone clerico de hospitali Jerosolimitano, Teoraldo fratre Alano canon[ico), Galfrido de Luuetoft, et aliis multis.

At the Domesday survey, William de Percy held a manor of 1 carucate in Cloughton, his tenant being Richard; 4 carucates were soke of the King’s manor of Falsgrave which passed to the bur­gesses of Scarborough; and Robert count of Mortain held 2 bovates.^[4] As in 1284-85, 1 carucate 2 bovates were held there of Henry de Percy^[5], it can be deduced that the holding of count Robert passed to the Percy fee.

The grantor’s family took their name from Duggleby, par. Kirby Grindalythe, which was not a member of the Percy fee. Henry, son of Thomas, son of Jollan de Duggleby, made a grant of land in Cloughton, mentioning his sister Beatrice, his charter being witnessed by William his brother^[6]. Adam, son of Sir Henry de Duggleby, gave land in Cloughton to the chapter of St. John Beverley, mentioned in the King’s confirmation charter of 30/4/1235^[7], and Henry de Duggleby oc­curs as a knight in 1218-19.^[8] In 1231, Thomas de Duggleby and Adam de Duggleby were par­ties to a final concord for 2 bovates in Goodmanham.^[9] A younger Adam held the tenure in Clough­ton of the Percy fee in 1284-85^[5], and in 1285 he warranted to Bridlington Priory the tenements held of him there.^[10] These details suggest that the charter printed here was issued in the 12th century. That conforms with the witness, master Paulinus son of the Bishop, who can be identified as the master of St. Peter’s hospital, issuing a charter c.1180-1200.^[11]

Besides their interest in Goodmanham, another member of the Percy fee (as above) the family held an interest in Swinden, par. Gisburn. In the reign of Henry III, Jollan, son of William de Duggleby, gave or sold to William de Percy the services from 5 bovates & 2 bovates there.^[12] This Jollan was evidently of a younger line; in 1240, Alice, his widow, claimed dower in 2 bovates Swinden.^[13]

§5. GOODMANHAM

Farrer has given the details relating to the several holdings in Goodmanham at the Domesday survey, with notes on the division of the church, of which two-thirds of the advowson belonged to the Percy fee and one-third to the Fossard fee.^[14]

The archbishop's 4 carucates became an endowment of the prebend of Fridaythorpe.^[15] The principal tenancy of the Fossard fee, derived from the Domesday holding of the count of Mortain, was held in the twelfth century by the family of Goodmanham and later by that of Hay; and Farrer printed a charter recording the admission of William Hay to a third of the church at the presentation of William son of Peter de Goodmanham, 1191-1203.^[16]

The Percy holding consisted of 2 carucates: and at the division of the barony in 1175 the advowson of three parts (evidently intended to be two-thirds) of the church of Goodmanham was assigned to the share of Jocelin of Louvain.^[17] The family of Duggleby held tenancies of the Percy fee in Goodmanham and Cloughton, par. Scalby;^[18] but in the thirteenth century Romund Tirel, who held half a knight's fee in Goodmanham of William de Percy in 1243,^[19] held the advowson of two thirds of the church. In 1222 it was decided by a final concord that this advowson was his right, and he quitclaimed to master Robert of Winchester, canon of York, the tithe of sheaves which the church was w.int to receive from 4 carucates of land pertaining to the prebend of Fridaythorpe, 
then held by master Robert.^[20] The holding of Gilbert Tison at the Domesday survey was 1.5 carucates, which is entered only in the Summary,^[21] out of 16 carucates 5 bovates at which the whole village was assessed, There are no details in the 1284-85 returns which give a clue to the descent of this holding, and in 1302-03 the only returns are for the Percy and Mauley fees.^[22] But Farrer has given evidence that land in Goodmanham was held in the thirteenth century of the Constables of Flamborough;^[23] and it can be deduced that they had inherited it as part of their portion of the Tison lands held of the honour of Mowbray.
