1295
Say Roger was 35 at the time he was outlawed for killing a deer,
then he was born about 1295, the son of Peter of Farndale (FAR00008).
I have a note of a record that Roger milne
(miller) of Farndale, son of Peter below together with Walter Blackhous and Ralph Helved, all of Spaunton
on Monday in January 1293, killed a soar and slew a
hart with bows and arrows at some unknown place in the forest. All were
outlawed on 5th April 1293.
If he was say 28 at the time he was outlawed, he might have been born
in about 1265. We know he was the son of Peter de Farndale. Given the later
incidents, I think the date of this incident must be an error and it is likely
the same as the 1330 event.
1330
In 1330, Richard Mosyn, of that part of Rossedale which belongs to the Abbot of S. Mary's (i.e.
Rosedale West), William Troten of Spaunton,
Roger del Mulne of Farndale, Robert son of
Peter of Rossedale, Walter Blackhous
of Farndale, went on a Monday in January to some unknown place within the
forest and killed a soar and slew a hart with bows
and arrows. All are outlawed. If we are right about his age, he was about sixty
five by then.
A hart is a male deer and a soar is a sow or pig.
1334
In 1334 Roger del Mulne of Farndale, together
with Robert, son of Peter of Farndale, Walter Blakhous
of Farndale, and Ralph de Heued of Farndale on Monday
after the feast of the Epiphany, came in the forest in an unknown place with
bows and arrows and killed one four-year-old buck and hunted one stag and
carried away with them the game and thereupon did their will.

Lancaster, of Pikeryng [Pickering], held at Pickering

Hungerford and John de Hambury, justices itinerant on

1335
At a hearing at Pickering on Monday 13 Mar 1335 before Richard de
Willoughby and John de Hambury, the Sheriff was
ordered to summon those named to appear this day before the Justices to satisfy
the Earl for their fines for poaching in the forest of which they were
convicted before the Justices by the evidence of the foresters, venderers and other officers. They did not appear and the
Sheriff stated that they could not be found and are not in his bailiwick and he
had no way of attacking them. He was therefore ordered to seize them and keep
them safely so that he could produce them before the Justices on Monday 15 Mar
1335. A long list of names follows including……Robert filium
Simonis de Farndale, Rogerum de milne
de Farndale, Robertum, filium
Petri de Farndale. He would have been an old man by then.
In 1335, on the Pleas of the forest of Henry, earl of Lancaster, of Pikeryng, held at Pickering before the Richard de Wylughby and John de Hambury,
justices itinerant on this occasion assigned to take pleas of the said forest
in Yorkshire a very long list of names included Robert, son of Simon de Farnedale, Roger del Milne of Farnedale,
Robert, son of Peter de Farndale, Walter Blachose,
regarding whom the sheriff was ordered to cause the aforesaid people to come
before the justices here on this day to make satisfaction to the earl about
their redemption for trespasses of hunting made in this forest, whereof they
are convicted before the said justices by the foresters, verderers and other
ministers. And they have not come.
1337
In 1337 on Pleas of the forest of Henry, earl of Lancaster, of Pikeryng, held at Pickering before the said Richard de Wylughby [Willoughby] and John de Hambury,
justices itinerant on this occasion assigned to take pleas of the said forest
in Yorkshire another long list of names was presented including Robert, son of
Simon de Farnedale, Roger del Milne of Farnedale, Robert, son of Peter de Farndale, Walter Blachose, Ralph del Heued, and
William de Ergom [Argam], chaplain, regarding whom
the sheriff is ordered to cause the aforesaid people to come before the
justices here on this day to make satisfaction to the earl about their
redemption for trespasses of hunting made in this forest, whereof they are
convicted before the said justices by the foresters, verderers and other
ministers. And they have not come.
1338
In 1338 on the Pleas of the forest of Henry, earl of Lancaster, of Pikeryng, held at Pickering before the said Richard de Wylughby [Willoughby] and John de Hambury,
justices itinerant on this occasion assigned to take pleas of the said forest
in Yorkshire, another long list of names included Robert, son of Simon de Farnedale [Farndale], Roger del Milne of Farnedale [Farndale], Robert, son of Peter de Farndale,
Walter Blachose, Ralph del Heued,
and William de Ergom [Argam], chaplain, regarding
whom once again the sheriff is ordered to cause the aforesaid people to be
exacted from county to county, until, etc, they are outlawed, if they do
appear. And if they do appear, he is then to take them, in such a way that he
has their bodies here at this day to make satisfaction to the earl about their
redemption for trespasses of hunting whereof they are convicted before the said
justices by the foresters, verderers and other ministers.
Clearly efforts were made to apprehend Robert, son of Simon of
Farndale, Roger the miller of Farndale, Robert son of Peter of Farndale, Walter
Blackhaus, Ralph Heved and
apparently even the chaplain in 1335 and 1337 and in 1338 they were outlawed
with orders that they be apprehended and brought before the forest officers if
found.
1366
William Blackhous was involved in another
incident in 1366 involving Roger milne of Farndale. I
need to find this record again as it may be an error.
1370
If the 1366 incident is not an error, he is unlikely to have lived much
beyond 1370 given his age.
