1275

 

Roger de Farndale was the son of Alfred Farndale (FAR0008A). He might have been born in or about 1275.

 

1334

 

1334 was the year of the Eyre Court. It was therefore time to catch up with the Farndale misbehaviour of the preceding years. A mainpernor was a person who gave a guarantee that a prisoner would attend court. The folk of Farndale had clearly been out in significant numbers to engaging in poaching. The hearing dealt with offences of some antiquity, the reference to the seventeenth regnal year of Edward I indicating an offence that took place in 1288 to 1289. So these records were catching up with many years of activity in the forest.

 

On Pleas of the forest of Henry, earl of Lancaster, of Pikeryng [Pickering], held at Pickering before Richard de Wylughby [Willoughby], Robert de Hungerford and John de Hambury, justices itinerant on this occasion assigned to take pleas of the said forest in Yorkshire: … John son of Abba: John was sent away by the mainprise of Roger, son of Alfred de Farndale, Roger, son of Gilbert of the same, Richard de Beverle [Beverley] of the same, William Kyng of the same, John de Hoton of the same, Thomas Makand, Hugh the clerk of Cropton, William de Birkheued of Hartoft, Henry del Tung, Peter son of Gervase, Hugh Broun [Brown], smith, and William Hare, who mainperned to have him on the first day of the eyre, and they do not now have him, etc.

Roger might have lived to 1340 is he lived to about 65.
