Notes for: Robert de Wycliffe
The name of this Wycliffe comes from a Wycliffe pedigree in The History of Yorkshire; Wapentake of Gilling West, by Marshall General Plantagenet Harrison (1885). I don't know where Harrison got this information. I can only assume it is guesswork on his part from looking at old records. Harrison's pedigree seems to be the only one that goes back this far; so I will go with it for now.
About this Robert de Wycliffe, the pedigree says "Lord of Wycliffe, to whom Beatrix de Mumby gave one messuage and one carucate of land in Wycliffe by fine 27 Henry III [abt 1243]. Warin de Travers claimed against him half an acre of land in Dalton Travers, 46 Henry III [abt 1262]. Was defendant, with Matilda his wife, in a plea at the suit of Sibila who was the wife of Adam de Magneby, who claimed dower in six bovats of land in Barton in Richmondshire against them, 47 Henry III [abt 1263]. Had one knight's fee in Wycliffe in right of his wife." He married Matilda "daughter and heir of Eudo de Mumby and Matilda his wife, daughter of Adam de Magneby."
