m. GUNDTEDA de Monasteriiis (m.2. Adam de Benningfield)
d. by 1194

Stephen endowed Gundteda with seven bovates of land in Rampton with apprutenances. Stephen must have died by 1194 when his children were very young and his wife Gunteda had already remarried to Adam de Benningfield.

When John, Earl of Morion, fortified Kingshaugh against his brother King Richard I., Robert, the younger brother of Stephen, took possession of the lands with which his sister-in-law Gundreda had been endowed, and gave them for the fine demanded of him by Earl John. In 1194, Adam de Benningfleld and Gundreda brought action against Robert, and Pavia his mother, to recover the property. The Lord Chancellor in court said that he had it from the King's (Richard I.) own mouth to restore the lands to all who were dispossessed by Earl John, and so Gundreda had her possessions restored to her. Robert appears to have had to pay a fine of 40/-.

Adam de Benningseild, and Grundeda de Monasteriis his wife, 6 R. 1. claimed against Robert Malluvell, and Pavie his mother, seven bovats of land in Ramton, with the appurtenances, as those which the said Gundreda recovered in the court of king Henry against Robert Malluvell, father of that Robert, as those which Stephen, the elder brother of that said younger Robert, gave her in dower, and thereof the brought the hand-writing which testified it; and they said, that after Robert had diffeized them in the war of earl John, with whom he was at Kingshagh against the king, he said he was disseised by that earl, and therefore the land was taken into the kings hand by Hugh Bardolf. And the said Robert pleaded that he had made fine with the king, concerning having his peace, and his lands, and brought the kings letters to the sheriff of Nott. for this land which testified it. The lord chancellour said that he had it from the kings own mouth, that he should give sesin of their lands to all those who were disseized by earl John; and seeing it appeared that Adam and Gundreda were so, it was adjudged more authentick what the king commanded by word of mouth than by letters: and they had their sesin restored.(1)

In the same year, Robert Maulovel, and also Ralph Wudburc (Woodbeck), had to pay a fine of twenty marks to Richard I. for being knights or men of Earl John.(2)

There was an assize 5 Joh. to try whether Stephen the father of Robert Mallovell died seized of seven bovats of land in Ramton, with the appurtenances, &c. which land Adam de Beddingfeld held, who came and said that Steph. did die seized, but it was as of the marriage of Gundred des Musters his wife, &c. (4)

In 1199 in the Pipe Rolls/Fines "Adam de Bedingfeld paid 50 marks for having seizin of half a knight's fee in Rampton and half mark in Bedingfeld of which he had been disseized."

Also in the Pipe Rolls/Fines for 1199 "Robert Maluvel 40/- that he should not be compelled to plead with Adam and Gundreda his wife concerning 7 bovates of land in Rampton."

In 1201, William Rufus Maulovel, son of Richard, son of Pavia, gave the King, as Knight's fee, "20 marks and a palfry for having the custody of 7 bovates of land with appurtenances in the town of Rameton, which belonged to the children of Gundreda de Monasteriis," but owing to the death of Stephen their father (perhaps of their mother too) were in possession of the King.(3)

b. after 1186

Robert was under the custody of his uncle Roger by reason of infirmity and was not responsible for his actions. Robert evidently recovered enough to bring action against his uncle Roger to recover one bovate of land with appurtenances which Roger declared Robert had given him by deed. Robert stated that "he was not in his own power when he made that deed, nor knew his own sense then in the custody of the said Roger his uncle, who took care of him in his infirmity, when all his other friends left him, and therefore begged the consideration of the court, whether that gift should be established, and offered a mark for having an injunction, whether that deed was made in the time before mentioned, or when he was in his own power."(1)

Robert appears to have come into the estate in 1207 as he paid a fine to Hugh Butiller when the bovates of land were coveyed to him.(2)

In 6 Henry III., 1221, "Robert Maluvel 1 mark for having gone against Roger Maluvel and others in Ramton, Gerard de Mering, Ralf de Rodes c.s for his relief for 1 knight's fee of the Manor of Peverel."

In 1223 he claimed land against his uncle Richard: Robert Maluvell of Rampton, son of Stephen, son of Pavia, 8 H. 3. claimed lands in Rampton, which the said Pavia his grandmother held in the time of king Henry the second, against Richard (Maluvel) son of the said Pavia.(3) In 1227 he had to answer "by what warrant he had intruded himself into 24 acres of land with appurtenances in Rampton, which ought to remain" to Roger and Richard his uncles. The land was mortgaged for 10 marks.(4)

b. after 1207

One of the genealogies states that this Richard was the son Robert and Pavia, however, this cannot be possible given the dates. Richard's grandson was born in 1277 and Robert died before 1194. If Richard was born just prior to his father's death then he would have been 83 at the birth of his grandson... not likely. Most likely Richard, the father of Stephen and Robert, was the son of the above Robert who was in possession of the manor and that Richard d.v.p.

b.c.1277

An inquisitione post mortem was held 22 Aug. 1293 for Stephen's uncle, also named Stephen, which states: "Stephen Maulovel held 3 parts of a bovate of land or 24 acres of the Manor of Tykyl, doing suit 3 weeks at the court of Tykyl, which he holds by knight's service, and does waymete and causway and gives scutage when it shall come; and he had nine bondmen holding 41/2 bovates, each rendering 20/- yearly and 35/6 assised rents from free tenants yearly, and albs, pepper, 2lbs. cummin, and 1lb. wax. Stephen, son of Robert Maulovel, is his next heir." This means that Stephen had twenty-four acres of land in his own hands, and he had 41/2 bovates in the tenancy of nine bondmen who each paid 20/- per year rent. These bondmen might hold in tenancy free or otherwise of the will of the lord. The assize, or fixed rents 35/6, was nominal yearly rents or acknowledgments of freeholders on that particular manor. Other freeholders did not pay in money, but paid in peppercorns, cummin-seed, and wax.

In 1310 Stephen and his brother William were killed by Hubert de Tyreswell. The circumstances of their deaths are unknown however, the Patent Rolls state that: "on October 28th, 1310, pardon was granted to Hugh de Treswell for the death of Stephen and William Maulovell of Rampton." He probably obtained pardon by fighting for the King in Scotland. The men of Treswell appear to have taken possession of his goods, for in 1315 an order mentioned in the Close Rolls was issued to the men of Treswell to restore his goods and chattels, but the men of Treswell were not to be aggrieved on account of the said goods.

m. PETRONILLA LONGVILLIERS (b. 1307, d. 1341)
d. 1335

Robert succeeded his father to the manor in 1316 and received a parliamentary writ in that year. He married Petronilla Longvilliers who is mentioned in an inquision in 1341 and in a subsidy roll in 1327. William de Anne, constable of Tykehill castle was going to detain Robert for not doing knight's service for the manor of Rampton, however, he was forbidden to do so as Robert had already done homage to the King.

Thoroton says that "there was a fine at York in 1322 between John Maulovell of Rampton and Katherine the daughter of William Abbot of Pokelington, plaintiffe, and Ralph Maulovell of Rampton deforested, of one messuage, 60 acres of land, 13 of meadow, with the appurtenances in Rampton, which were thereby settled on the said John and Katherine, and the heirs of their bodies; remainder to the right heirs of Katherine. To this fine Robert Maulovell of Rampton put his claim".

Robert and Petronilla died while their son Stephen was a minor and the estates and the honor of Tickhill were held by the king who seems to have given them to his wife, Queen Isabella. By 1342 they were held by Queen Philippa, wife of Edward III. In a letter to Thomas de Longevillers, dated 1341, she states that she has granted the custody of one third part of the Manor of Rampton to Eleanor de Gisteles, the honour being in her hands by reason of the death of Petronilla Maulovell. If Stephen, son of Robert Maulovell, died before attaining his full age, then Eleanor, the wife of Wolford de Gisteles, granted the same to Thomas de Longvillers, grandfather of Stephen, i.e., during the minority of the heir of Rampton.(1)

b.c.1325
m. FRANCES de MERING (b.c.1330, d. 1360)
d. 1363

Stephen's parents died while he was still a minor and so the estates were held by the King. In 1346 Stephen was of age and did homage to the lord of Tirkhill paying one knight's fee and one quarter knight's fee. He was lord of Rampton Manor, Nottinghamshire.

The manor of Rampton, with the appurtenances, was by fine, 38 and 39 E. 3. between Will. de Eton, vicar of the church of Rampton, and John, son of Robert de Lanum, plaintiffs, and John de Stannop, and Elizabeth his wife, desorc. settled on the said John and Elizabeth, and the heirs of their bodies; remainder to the heirs of the body of Elizabeth; remainder to Richard Stannop for life; remainder to the right heirs of Elizabeth.(1)
