Biography

Ivo was the younger son and Lord of the Manor of Alston Moor. He also owned lands at Elrington, Kirkhaugh, Maulds Meaburn, Ireby, Blencarn, Ainstable, Waverton and Carlisle and held the custody of Mount Sorrel Castle in Leicestershire.

On the 10th May, 1209 King John confirmed the lands of Alston Moor to be in Ivo's posession.

Ivo occurs not only in English (close rolls of King John and Henry III) but also Scotch and Norman records. King John made him governor of Mount Sorrell in Leicestershire, but with that monarch's death his fortune reversed, and in 1217 he is ranked among the king's enemies and seizin given of his lands to his brother Robert.

In 1225 complaints were made to the English King that the Lord of the Manor, Ivo de Veteripont, was ill-treating the miners and imprisoning them. Yet in the same year, on assurances of securety, Ivo was appointed collector of the Kings’s mine taxes.

According to Power, and ODNB, Ivo died in 1228.
