1255
Roger de Farndale (FAR00028) (say 25
at the time of the poaching incident) may have been born in about 1300. He was
the son of Gilbert de Farndale (FAR00018).
From sureties of persons indicted for poaching and for not
producing persons so indicted on the first day of the Eyre Court in
accordance with the suretieship due to Richard Drye.
There follows a long list of names including,
..1s 8d from Roger son of
Gilbert of Farndale (FAR00018),
bail from Nicholas de Farndale, (FAR00022), 2s
from William the Smith of Farndale, (FAR00009) 3s
4d from John the shepherd of Farndale, (FAR00010),
and 3s 4d from Alan the son of Nicholas de Farndale. (FAR00011) (Yorkshire Fees). (See
also FAR00019).
There is a
separate page about poaching
in Pickering Forest.
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. Westgill is the area of Farndale around West Gill Beck
which flows down to the River Dove at Low Mill. 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.

1340
If the incidents
below are this Roger, he might have lived to about 1340.
There is also a
reference to Gilbert de Farndale, whose son Roger (FAR00028) was
bailed by Nicholas Farndale, (see FAR00022) for
poaching in 1344 and in 1345 (NRRY Vol VI for
further research) (Patent Rolls).
The date is hard to match to the above and make sense of peoples ages.
