In a curious deed, Radullphus de Upton, of West Ham, granted to Humphreyde Barenton the care of all his lands, other things, receipts, and rents,as also the wardship and marriage of his son Robert to any one, he,Humphrey, should please; and in case of Robert's death, the marriage ofhis son, William, and of his two daughters, Aveline and Beatrix, bindinghimself in the case of the death of his wife Matilda not to marry again,so as not to interfere with the rights of his sons. There are two otherdeeds relating to Humphrey de Barenton, one is a grant of land inHatfield to him from Alan de Buiss, for which he gave to the grantor amark of silver, to his wife Juliana twelve pence, and the same sum to hisson and heir Nicholas. The other is a surrender and quit claim to him ofpart of a wood at Ramsden. Humphrey is said to have married Amicia,daughter of Sir William de Mandeville, third son of Geoffrey deMandeville, first Earl of Essex. This Sir William de Mandeville, on thedeath of his brother Geoffrey without issue, became himself third Earl,and in all accounts of the family is stated to have died without issue,and indeed this must have been the case, as all his estates descended tohis father's sister's grandchild, Beatrix de Say, whose husband, GeoffreyFitzpiers, was in consequence created Earl of Essex. This Amicia, thewife of Humphrey de Barenton, if the daughter of William de Mandeville,must have been a natural child. She seems to have inherited considerableproperty, as in the Close Rolls in the reign of Henry the Third, is anorder to the Sheriff of Essex to give to Humphrey de Barenton and Amiciahis wife peaceable possession of their lands in Shevington, Waleden andTeyden on their doing the service for them they had been accustomed toperform. If however Robert Fitzwalter of any other person should requireany service from the said lands, the Sheriff was to appoint a day for hisappearance in Court before the King, when full justice should be done tohim. The chattells which had been seized, and of which Robert keptpossession, were to be restored without any delay. This Robert Fitzwalterwas father of William de Mandeville's second wife Christiana. There is avery curious agreement (which unfortunately is so stained as to beillegible in some places) between Humphrey de Barenton and Alan deSepere, by which Humphrey became security with Alan to Benjamin and hissister Cissorie, Jews at Cambridge, for the payment of two pounds perannum for eight years. The first payment to be at Michaelmas next afterthe marriage of Earl William to the daughter of the Earl of Albermarle.Alan de Sepere giving to Humphrey, as a security, a mortgage on all thefee Humphrey held under him ; so that should he, Humphrey, be called uponto pay any part of the debt, he should have full possession of the fee,without any restriction, until he was repaid all the money he hadadvanced. The Earl William named in this agreement, was the William deMandeville, whose daughter Amicia Humphrey married, and the agreementrefers to his, William's, marriage to his first wife, Haurse, or Aricia,daughter of William le Gros, Earl of Albermarle. Humphrey was knighted byKing Henry the Second as was his brother Warin by King John. Warin andhis younger brother Richard appear as witnesses to the above-namedagreement with Alan de Sepere and their names are found to deeds relatingto property in Hatfield. Humphrey had a son and heir Nicholas, of whomhereafter, and several other sons, William, Hugh and Colin are all metwith. William is named as the owner of land at Nosterfield in a deed,without date, from Henry de Capeles to the Prior and Monks of Hatfield.Hugh in 1221 is called "Magister Hugo de Barenton, Carpentarius," andColin held an office in the Forest of Essex, and several orders areaddressed to him by the King, some of which will be named in the accountof the Forest.
