Vieuxpont is the name of a significant family in the history of Westmorland. According to Thomas [1] the name originated in France on or about 1066 as Vieuxpont - alternative spellings include Vieuxpont, Veteripont Vezpont, Veepon, Vexpont, Vipont, Vypont, Vispont, Vypunt, Vespont, Vipond, Vypond, Voypond, Veepond, Vippond, Vipon, Vipan, Vipen.
In 1204 King John granted the "Sheriffwick and rent of the county of Westmorland", together with the custody of the castles of Appleby and Brough, to Robert de Vieuxpont in perpetuity. He was succeeded in 1228 by his son John de Vieuxpont (Veteripont), who died young about the year 1242, leaving his infant son Robert de Veteripont a ward to the king and the prior of Carlisle. Robert later died of wounds received in rebellion against Henry III circa 1264, leaving two daughters Isabella and Idonea. Isabella married Roger de Clifford, father of Robert de Clifford, 1st Baron de Clifford and on the death of Idonea the hereditary shrievalty passed via Isabella to Robert and the de Clifford family.
