General Notes

Odonel de Umfreville held, by feudal tenure, the castle of Prudhoe, with those of Otterbourne, Harbottle, and Riddesdale, all in the county of Northumberland. He opposed the Scotch invasion under Duncan, and was in the battle wherein the Scottish king was taken prisoner. Of this baron one of the monks of Tynemouth grievously complained temp. Henry II for his exactions upon his neighbors toward repairing the roof of the castle of Prudhoe. He died in 1182, leaving a daughter, Matilda, wife of William de Albini, and a son and successor, Robert. [John Burke, History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. II, R. Bentley, London, 1834-1838, p. 191, Pickering, of Old Lodge]
