  *************************************
  Sir Roger D'Oyly, knt. son and heir, confirmed a grant of land in Eston to Eynsham Abbey, in his father's life-time; and it was then arranged, that after his father's death the monks should pay him five shillings per annum, till he obtained possession of the estate of Estcote, co. Oxon.[166] About 1228 he succeeded his father, and owning the manor and advowson of Kencote, co. Oxon. in 1229, presented to Kencote church in that year.[167] In 1232, by death of his kinsman Henry D'Oyly, the last baron of Hocknorton, he became heir-male of the Oxfordshire D'Oylys, bore their arms, "Or, two bends azure," (thus reversing the tinctures of the Barons D'Oyly, which arms so reversed were, in 1660, remaining on ancient stained glass in Weston-Green Church, co. Oxon.)[168] and acquired a proportionate increase of consequence in the district, as well as three knights' fees, viz. two manors in Estcote, and one in Bampton, in Oxfordshire, all which were part of the territories granted to Robert D'Oyly, the first baron, at the period of the Conquest, and were held by the said Roger, at the Testa de Neville inquisitions,[169] of Matilda de Cantilupe, widow of the last Baron D'Oyly; Bampton and Estcote were long after known as "Bampton-D'Oyly," and "Estcote-D'Oyly."[170] Kencote was also held by Roger D'Oyly at the Testa de Neville inquisitions. In 1235, by indenture of fine, levied 19 Hen. III. Roger D'Oyly granted tenements in Estcote to Walter Marshall and Alice his wife, and the heirs of Alice, until those in Bampton, which Alice de Baunton, her grandmother, held in dower, should be released; and twenty-eight years after, by a fine levied in 1262-3, the Marshalls reconveyed the said Estcote estate to Roger D'Oyly.[171] Meanwhile, in 1241, occurs a benefaction by Ralph de Saucey of lands in Estcote, which he held of Roger D'Oyly, to Eynsham Abbey, whereby it was arranged that that community should render Roger D'Oyly a pound of pepper yearly for the said lands.[172] In 48 Hen. III. (1263-4,) Sir Roger D'Oyly and various other knights were summoned to meet the King with horses and arms, for performing military service against the Barons.[173] In 1267, becoming an old man, and being desirous of settling his estates on his son Roger, a fine was levied in 52 Hen. III. whereby the manors of Kencote and Estcote-D'Oyly, and three carucates of land in Bampton, were settled on his said son for life, remainder to his own right heirs for ever; subject, however, to the interest therein of one Feteplace, who then held Kencote for life, and — Claye, who held Estcote for a term of years.[174] Feteplace was alive in 1272, and presented to Kencote church in that year, but pursuant, says the record, to "literæ patentes," obtained from "Dominus Roger de Oyly, fil' Joh' de Oylli:"[175] and this is the first time that title of courtesy appears before Roger D'Oyly's name. In 1st Edw. I. (the same year,) an entry of a payment to Roger D'Oyly of 28 marks occurs on the Issue Roll of the Exchequer; in consideration of which D'Oyly released to the King the 42 marks which he owed him for corn and hay.[176] At the Oxfordshire Hundred Inquisitions, 7th Edw. I. "Dominus Roger D'Oyly" held in Clanefield, co. Oxon. one hide of land of Lord William de Valence, and at Kencote one mess. and four car. (the whole at one knight's fee,) of Hugh de Plessitis,[177] (who had succeeded the Barons D'Oyly there;) but, when the inquisition had proceeded to Estcote, it was found that the "heirs of Roger de Oyli"[178] held that manor at two knights' fees, as well as a fishery and wood within the copse of Wychewood; from which return it is clear that Roger D'Oyly had died during the inquisitions, viz. 1278—9, when he must certainly have been an old man. By his wife, who was undoubtedly dead in 1235, he had issue,
