At the time of Kirkby's Inquest
(p. 166) there were three Daltons, Dal-ton Michell, Dalton Travers, and Dalton
Norreys, all now represented by Dalton,
in the parish of Kirkby Ravensworth
which was called in another place (p. 133)
Dalton in Broghton Lith. This Broghton
is the Broctun mentioned in Domesday
(fo. 25b), in close proximity to Daltun.
The Dalton in the text got its distinctive
appellation from a certain Michael, son
of Michael de Dalton, whose daughter
and heiress, Agnes, married Thomas de
Ryhill, from whome it descended to the
Michael de Ryhill who held it at the
date of Kirkby's Inquest. (Plantagenet

In Hillary Term, 21 Edw. i. (1292–3)
Hugh Fitz Henry and his wife Albreda
were defendants in a curious suit of
assault. It was alleged by the plaintiff,
Hugh of Barnard Castle (de Castro
Bernardi), that on Sunday before the
feast of the Exaltation of the Holy
Cross, 19 Edw. i. (Sept. 9, 1291), at the
ninth hour of the raised (nona
hora merarii levati) in Quassington by
the vill of Raveneswath within the
liberty of Richmond, in the public road
(in communi via), between the vill of
Kirkeby Raveneswath on the west and
the vill of Quassington on the east,
near a certain wooden cross, as he was
going towards the said vill of Quassington, in the said road, with his back
towards the west, and distant from the
said cross towards the east two and a
half perches, John le Whyte and Adam
le Rate, by the command and commission of the said Hugh and Albreda,
feloniously, like felons, and by premeditated assault, assaulted him with
two sticks (baculis), that is, John le
Whyte with a stick of hazel (de corulo),
which he held in his two hands, an ell
and a half long and twelve inches round,
with which he struck him and broke
(disrupit) his right arm four inches
above the elbow. Adam le Rate struck
him with an oak stick, which he held in
both his hands, an ell and three quarters
long and fifteen inches round, with which
he struck him and broke his right elbow
and put it out of joint (et juncturam
inde dessepavit), whereby he was maimed
in his right arm by the Striking of the
said Adam, and by the force and assistance of the said John, and by the
command and commission of the said
Hugh and Albreda. As soon as they
had done their work, Adam and John
fled to Hugh Fitz Henry's manor of
Raveneswath. Hugh of Barnard Castle,
as soon as he could walk, went and
raised the hue and cry (levavit hutesium
et clamorem), and at once pursued them
(recenter prosequebatur), from vill to
vill to the four neighbouring vills
around, and from the four vills to the
king's bailiffs, from the king's bailiffs
to the coroners of that district, and from
the coroners to the next County Court,
from the County Court to the King's
Court, what remedy should be done to
him by the king's writ. Hugh FitzHenry
and his wife pleaded successfully in
defence, that as Adam and John had
not yet been convicted of the assault,
they could not be indicted for sending
them. The case was then adjourned to
St. John's Day, when the defendants
pleaded that the appellant was not
maimed, as he alleged, "And the same
Hugh, the appellant, being seen in court,
moved his right arm, his hand and his
fingers, and also wrote, and is not
maimed" (Coram Rege, No. 135, m. 8d). |
