General Notes

Everard de Ros was a minor, and in ward to Ranulf de Glanvil when his father died. In the 12th Henry II [1166], this feudal lord held of the crown eight knight's fees, and in two years afterwards, upon collection of the aid for marrying the king's dau., answered 112s. for those which were "de veteri feoffamento," and 31s. 1d. for what he had "de novo." He m. Roysia, dau. of William Trusbut, of Wartre, in Holderness, and, at the decease of her brothers, s. p., co-heir to her father's estate, which estate was eventually inherited by her descendants, Lords Ros, her sisters and co-heirs having no posterity. They had two sons. This Everard de Ros must have been a very considerable personage at the period in which he lived, for we find him in the year 1176 paying the ten very large sum of £526 as a fine for his lands, and in four years subsequently, £100 more to have possession of those which the Earl of Albemarle held. He d. about 1186 and was s. by his elder son, Robert "Furfan" de Ros.
