1260
Peter might have been born in about 1260. It is possible that he
was a second son of Gilbert de Farndale (FAR00018).
Peter’s
son, Robert de Farndale (FAR00012) might have been born in about 1300.
The family seem to have been in Rosedale in
1330.
In 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 (FAR00012) son of Peter
(FAR00008) of Rossedale,
Walter Blackhous of Farndale (BLA00001), 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. If we are right
about his age, he was about sixty five by then.
A hart is a male deer and a soar
is a sow or pig.
Outlaws of
Flaskes
Robert Farndale (FAR00031) son of Simon the miller of Farndale (FAR00021), and Robert Farndale (FAR00012) son
of Peter of Farndale (FAR00008), were fined for poaching at Pickering Castle in 1332 Patent Rolls, North Riding Records, York, The Honour and Forest of
Pickering, Volume II, The Coucher Book of the Duchy of Lancaster Records, page
66).
Robert was outlawed with others for killing a hart in the forest. On 24
September 1332, Robert
Farndale (FAR00031) son of Simon (FAR00021) hunted a stag at Flaskes in Pickering Forest.

hearing at Pickering before Justices Richard Willoughby and John de Hambury on
3 October 1334, a long list of offenders including Robert (FAR00031),
son of Simon of Farndale (FAR00021), Roger del Milne of Farndale (FAR00013A), Robert (FAR00012), son
of Peter de Farndale (FAR00008), Walter Blachose (BLA00001), Ralph del Heued (HEU00002), were ordered for apprehension by the sheriff by Easter 1335 (The Great Cowcher of the Duchy of Lancaster, The National
Archives, DL42/1 Folio 276v to 277v).
Nicholas of Farndale (FAR00022),
gave bail for Roger (FAR00013A) son of Gilbert of
Farndale (FAR00018) who had been
caught poaching in 1334 and 1335. Robert (FAR00031) son of Simon the miller of Farndale (FAR00021) and Robert (FAR00012), son
of Peter of Farndale (FAR00008)
were co-offenders (North Riding Records Yorks Volume III, The Honour and Forest of
Pickering).
2 January 1335
On 2 January 1335, Richard Moryn of Rosedale,
acting on the behalf of the abbot of St Mary, William Trotan of Spaunton, Roger
the Miller of Farndale (FAR00013A), Robert (FAR00012), son of Peter of Farndale (FAR00008), Walter Blakhous of Farndale (BLA00001), and Ralph de Heued of Farndale (HEU00002) came into Pickering Forest at an
unknown place with bows and arrows and killed one four-year-old buck and hunted
one stag and carried away with them the game and thereupon they did their will.
They were ordered to appear at a hearing of the matter on 3 October 1334, but
although they were living in the country, they did not appear. Therefore the
sheriff was ordered to make them come. However the Sheriff failed to apprehend
them, since they had withdrawn into hiding, and so the search was continue
while meantime they were declared to be outlaws (The Great Cowcher of the Duchy of Lancaster, The National Archives,
DL42/1 Folio 222, DL 42/1/35/U9, Folio 221v to 223v).

might have lived until about 1335, though his son was referred to as the son of
the probably deceased Peter in the 1330s.
