In the time of King John the Manor of Hunsdon, which before the Conquest belonged to Alvin Godstone, belonged to Sir Walter Montgomery (grandfather of this John Engaine). On the 17th of Oct., 1216, just two days before the death of King John, a writ was directed to the Constable of the County of Hertford, that he should give seisin of his lands in the Parish of Hunsdon, or Hanesdon, to Sir Walter Montgomery, the Knight of the Earl of Ferrers, which he had before the war. and was disseised by occasion thereof. A co-heir of the honour of Montgomery married Vitalis Engaine. In 33rd of Henry III (1249) it was found that Vitalis Engaine held the Manor of Hunsdon, of William de Bellocampo, of Bedford, and that Henry Engaine was his heir and aged 30 years and upwards; and at the inquisition, 56th of Henry III, it was found that Henry Engaine's brother Sir Dominus John Engaine was his heir and now aged 44 years. This John Engaine in the 22nd of Edward I, 1295, was in an expedition into Gascoigne and died seized of the Manor of Hundson, and others in the counties of Northampton, Essex and Huntingdon, on nones of January, 1297, and left his son John, aged 30, his heir, who was summoned to Parliament from 1297 to 1320, but he died sine prole Oct. 3, 1322, and was succeeded by his brother, Nicholas.
