The Burgh Barony
The Barony Of Next unto Allerdale upon the south Burgh. side of the river Wathempool or Watholmpool now
Wampol lies the barony of Burgh-by-Sands
or Burgh
barony. On the west and north-west it is washed by the sea
flowing up to the foot of the river Eden, and by the said river towards the
north and north-east unto the city of Carlisle : and from Carlisle to the river
Wampool on the south-east it is divided from Dalston barony by the beaten high
street, which leadeth from Carlisle through Thursby to Wigton.
In this barony were divers mannors holden of Burgh, and
some within the bounder, and yet no part of the barony (as Orton and Gamelsby)
nor holden of the same. Ranulph Bohun* de Meschines gave this barony of Burgh to
one Robert de Estrivers or Trivers together with the chief foresters office in
the forest of Englewood ; which office with great and many liberties thereunto
belonging all the Lords of Burgh
enjoyed successively untill Thomas de Multon de
Gilsland forfeited the same by treason committed against the King ... in the
insurrection made by Simon de Montford Earl of Leicester.
Ibria Trevers daughter to Robert de Trevers and
wife of Radulph Engayne Lord of Ishall transferred the barony of Burgh to
the Engaynes.
After Radulph Engayne succeeded Wm
Engayne his son» Both the Scaleby and Milbourne MSS. have " Bohun "
but it is clearly a slip.

by the said Ibria. The said Radulph and Ibria and
William their son gave Henrickby alias Herriby besides Carlisle to the
priory of Carlisle which gift Hugh Mor- vill confirmed.
After Wm Engayne succeeded Sr
Hugh Morvill (as son and heir of Ada sole daughter and heir of the said
William). In the time of Hen. 2nd, this Sr Hugh Morvill was of
great possessions. In Cumberland he was Lord of Burgh barony Lassonby
and Ishall; in Westmorland of Temple Sowerby, Hoflun, &c., and about
Wharton he had diverse lands. The great mountain Hugh-Seat-Morvill was called
after him. He was one of the four Knights who killed S' Thomas a Becket
Archbishop of Canterbury, after which deed he came to great misery. He gave
therefore the rectory of Burgh
to the abbey of Holm Cultrum, which the Bishops of Carlisle,
Bernard, Hugh, and Walter did appropriate to the monks. The sword that killed
St Thomas
was at Ishall in my father's time, and since remaineth with the
house of Arun- del. He was greatly hated of the churchmen of his time ;
therefore they wrote many things to his dishonour hardly to be credited, which
I omitt. After great repentance he died and left his two daughters his heirs,
Johan wife to Richard Worun or Gerun, and Ada wife first to Richard Lucy second
to Thomas
Multon and third to Wm Lord Furnival.*
After Sr Hugh Morvill succeeded Richard Lucy and
Richard Werun, with the daughters of Sr Hugh in the
inheritance of Burgh.
Richard Lucy had by his wife Ada only two
daughters,
This is a dreadful muddle: Dcnton confounds Sir
Hugh Morvill of Burgh

uncle probably to the first mentioued Sir Hugh. See Mr. Hodgson Hinde. Archtrological

Annabel and Alice, and therefore after his death
the moiety of Burgh
fell to the second Thomas Multon aforesaid brother to
Lambert Multon
of Egremont.
Richard Werun had by his wife Johan Morvill, Sara
(or Ada) a daughter married to Richard Boyvill Baron of Kirklevington who had
issue Hawise the wife of Eustace of Baliol, which Hawise died without issue,
and thereupon that moiety of Burgh also descended to Thomas son
of Thomas
of Multon
aforesaid, or to Thomas de Multon de Gilsland his
son the third of ye
name.*
The second Thomast de Multon married Matilda
Vaux ye
sole daughter and heir of Hubert Vaux Baron of Gils- land, and by her had issue
Thomas de
Multon de
Gilsland, and died the 55 Hen. 3rd. He forfeited the chief forester's
office of the forest of Englewood by an insurrection with Simon de Montford.
Thomas Multon de Gilsland was Baron of Burgh and Gilsland, he
married Isabel daughter of ... (which Isabel was afterwards married to John de
Castre Knt),
by her Thomas
de Multon
had issue another Thomas de Multon de Gilsland and
died 23 Ed. Ist.
Thomas de Multon de Gilsland the fourth of that
name had issue a daughter and heir named Margaret married to Randulph Dacre the
son of William, so became the Dacres first to be Barons of Burgh and
of Gilsland. This Thomas
de Multon
dyed 8 Ed. 2nd.
Ranulph Dacre and Marg' his wife succeeded her
father Thomas
Multon and had issue Wm Dacre. Randulph died
13 Ed. 3rd
and Margaret the 361h
of the same King, and Wm
Dacre died in his mother's life time 35 Ed. 3rd, and had issue
Ranulph the 2nd
who succeeded his grandfather in the baronies of Burgh and Gilsland
together with
Rowcliff, Lazonby and Kirkoswald, which he left to his posterity as follows:

* The estate of the Dacres being forfeited to the crown by the rebellion
and attainder of Leonard Dacre, brother and heir in tail to Thomas, in
Queen Elizabeth's time, nothing in reality did descend to the three sisters and
co-he1rs of George, but one of them dying without issue, and the other two
(Anne and Elizabeth) marrying
the Earl of Arundel and Lord Wm. Howard (the two sons of that Thomas D.
of Norfolk, who was executed about the business of Mary Q. of Scots), they procured
the estate to be granted to them again from the crown ; and Burgh and
Graystock were allotted to the Earl of Arundel, and the barony of Gilsland to
Lord William Howard.
