lyo THE LOST HISTORY OF PEAK FOREST. 



William Foljambe came before Thomas le Ragged, then Bailiff, 

 and presented that Henry de Medwe took a doe with a certain 

 black hound, which was called " Collyng," at Canehevid, and 

 he agreed to prove this under loo marks penalty. Henry de Medwe 

 denied the charge, and said that William Foljambe himself, and 

 Gregory, his brother-in-law, with his other familiars and shepherds 

 {pasfores), at Martyngode Weston, and Wormhill, had destroyed 

 loo beasts of the forest — stags, does, and setons ; and for the 

 verification of these charges he bound himself in loo marks, 

 and for bail gave Wm. Martyn and Thos. fil Thomas Foljambe. 

 • The Jury found Henry guilty, and he was fined loos., for which 

 were bail Thos. Foljambe of Gratton, Hy., his brother, 

 Nich. de Lenne, and Roger de Baslow, Clic. 



Wm. Foljambe and his associates were found not guilty of 

 destroying loo beasts, but only of 20 of all kinds, and he was 

 fined 20 marks, and he found bail Wm, Martyn, Wm. de Oldreddy 

 Robt. Capon, and Thos. Foljambe, of Gratton. This was 

 evidently a pretty family quarrel, and Henry de Medwe was pro- 

 bably a Foljambe himself, as some of his bail were of that 

 family. 



Rad. Coterill, in 1 1 Ed. I , came into the Compana Forest 

 within the Octave of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, with his 

 bow and arrows hidden {dissiniulatus), and shot at a herd of 

 beasts ; and upon this came John Daniel (a Forester of Fee of 

 the Foljambe family), and cried him, and would take him 

 {attachiare voluit), but he resisted, and shot two arrows at the 

 said John. He was, however, at length captured. 



Robt. de Melner, junior, who was outlawed at the time when 

 he was a forester, took about 20 beasts, and carried them to the 

 house of his father, Robt. de Melner, 



William and Henry, the brothers of Thomas Foljambe of 

 Gratton, were guilty of many forest trespasses, and Thomas 

 Foljambe abetted them. This Thomas Foljambe was a clericus ; 

 probably only a lawyer, for he was married and had children, who 

 succeeded to his inheritance.
