1423
Agnes Farndale, daughter of Richard Farndale, (FAR00044) might have
been born at Sheriff Hutton in
about 1411 (Richard's Will).
This assumes she was 24 in 1435 since her older sister
who became an executor to her mother’s will was still under marriageable age,
but old enough for this responsibility.
1435
The Will of Richard Farendale,
proved at Sherifhoton 21 Dec 1435.
‘In
the name of God Amen, 8th December 1435. I Richard Farndell being of sound mind
make my will in this manner. Firstly, I bequeath and Commend my soul to God
Almighty, My Creator, and my body to be buried in my said Parish Church.
Item. I bequeath a grey horse with saddle and
reins and my armour, viz: a bascinet, a breast plate, a pair of vembraces and a pair of rerebraces
with leg harness as my mortuary payment. And I bequeath 3 lbs of wax to be
burned around my body on the day of my burial.
Item. I bequeath to the Vicar of my Parish Church
6s 8d and to every chaplain taking part in my burial service Mass, 4d.
And I
bequeath 26s 8d for mending a service book for the use of the parish church.
And
to the fabric of the Cathedral Church of St Peter York, 12d.
And I
bequeath to my daughter Margorie at her marriage 10 marks, if she live to be
marriageable age. And if she die before she arrives at her years of discretion,
I wish the said 10 marks to be divided equally between my daughters Agnes and Alice.
And I
bequeath to Joan Brantyng 40s and a bed.
And
to the four orders of friars mendicant of York 20s and two quarters of corn to
be divided in equal portions.
And
to John Pyper 2s.
And
as regards the rest of my funeral expenses, I wish them to be paid at the
discretion of my executors.
The
rest of my goods, not bequeathed above, my debts having been paid, I bequeath
to the said Margorie, my daughter, to be divided among them in equal parts.
And I
make the said Thomas Robynson and John Couper and
Margorie my daughter, my executors, faithfully to implement the terms of my
will.
Witnesses; Robert, Vicar of the Church of Hoton, William Huby of the same, John Burdley of the same and many others.’
Administration granted to Thomas and John on 21st
December 1435 with rights reserved for similar administration to be granted to
Margorie.
(Translated from Latin text of Will held at York.
Prob. Reg. 3/441).
Richard Farndale therefore died between 8 and 21
December 1435.
