monks of St. Cuthbert the tilled and untilled lands of
Morwick for the health and souls of himself, his wife and
his heirs, and for his brother William and all his

1164 the sheriff of the county accounted for him into the
exchequer for 75s, 10d. And in the next year he himself
certified that he held in capite of the King four knights'
fees in Northumberland. In the 16th year of same reign he
accounted for 20 marks, imposed upon him as a fine for his
horses being taken in the King's forest. In 1172 he paid 4
pounds for scutage. He died 1188 and was buried near his

the canons of Brinkburne certain commons of pasture for the
good of her soul. They had Roger the 2nd and Ralph.
