1310
William Farndale might have been born in
about 1310.
The
date of the following extract from the Coucher Book, folio 222,
is probably about 1330 :—
" Richard Mosyn, of that part of Rossedale
which belongs to the Abbot of S. Mary's (i.e. Rosedale
West), William Troten of Spaunton,
Roger del Mulne of Farndale, Robert son of Peter of Rossedale, Walter Blackhous of
Farndale, went on a Monday in January to some unknown place within the
forest and killed a soar and slew a hart with bows
and arrows." All are outlawed.
The Coucher
Book, folio 224, tells how two men, on Thursday next after the feast of S. Lucy
the Virgin, went to Mulfosse, in Hartoft, and there
slew one hind. How
" Thomas de Hamthwaite,
Robert de Bolton, Richard of Helmsley, John de Skipton, Robert Moryng, Abraham Milner, Stephen Moye, and Peter son of
Henry, with others unknown, on Thursday, 7th of March, 1331, went to a place
called Hamclifbek, with two leporariis
(gazehounds or greyhounds), and belonging to John de Kilvington and Robert
Spink, and with bows and arrows, and there slew one soar and one hind and one
stag, and were fined, etc."
In the same folio we have an account of
how " Roger son of Emma, John de Bordesden,
Robert Moryng, John son of William Fabri (Smith)
of Farndale, Robert Stybbing, and William
Bullock, about the feast of S. Bartholomew, captured one hind and one calf
at Rotemir." How " Hugh de Yeland and John de Yeland, Thomas
Hampthwait, William de Langwath,
Peter son of Henry Young, William de Hovingham,
forester of Spaunton, William Burcy (or Curcy), Robert de Miton, sergeant
of Normanby, and six others unknown, captured at Leasehow,
with bows and arrows and hounds, a young hart," and so on.

he might have lived to about 1370.
