Notes for: Roger 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 Roger de Wycliffe, the pedigree says "to whom his father gave lands in Thorpe-juxta-Wycliffe; was living 35 Henry III [abt 1251]." His wife is not named.
