• General Notes

  PIERS DE MAULEY the Fifth, LORD MAULEY, son and heir, was probably born circa 1300. On 16 April 1322 he and Margaret hiswife were pardoned for acquiring from Piers the elder the manorsof Lockington, Etton, and Bramham, and the advowson of Lockington without licence. In 1322 he was going to Scotland with his father on the King's service. In 1324, as Piers son of Piers de Mauley, he was returned by the sheriff of Yorkshire as a man-at-arms to attend the Great Council at Westminster; and in June 1375 he was a mainpernor for his father. In October 1331 he was pardoned for entry into the manor of Kilnwick without licence, the reversion of which had been granted him by his father; and in the same year he made a presentation to the rectory of Bainton. In November 1332 his father had licence to transfer to him part of his estates. In May 1334 he was a commissioner of oyer and terminer at Beverley, and of array in the North Riding of Yorks May 1338. In September 1335 he was ordered to appear at the Council at York to answer for various contempts. He is styled a Knight on 16 March 1335/6, and in August was summoned to a Council to discuss treaties with France and Scotland. In September the sheriff of Yorks was ordered to seize him and take him to the Tower of London because he left the King's service in Scotland without licence. His offence must have been quickly condoned, for in December he was ordered to be released by mainprise of Henry de Percy, though his lands were to remain in the King's hand until he had appeared before the King in the next Parliament, to which he had been summoned on 29 November, by writ directed Petro de Malo Lacu le quint. On 13 March 1336/7 his lands and goods were ordered to be restored to him, as the King wished to show him favour, but he was to be ready to answer for his contempt when called upon. He continued to be summoned to Parliament up to 15 March 1354. He fought at the battle of Neville's Cross, 17 October 1346. In February 1346/7 he with others was the subject of a complaint of having carried away a whale and a porpoise, worth 100, together with wreck and money washed ashore on the coast of Cleveland. In July 1347, John (de Warenne), Earl of Surrey, having died in possession of the Mauley manor of Doncaster, Piers de Mauley lequint, to whom it then passed, was to have livery of it. He was one of the magnates who agreed, 28 August 1354, to refer the French treaty to the Pope.
  
  He married, in or before 1322, Margaret (c). He died 18 January 1354/5. His widow died 8 August 1382. [Complete Peerage VIII:565-7, XIV:470, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
