2nd Lord (Baron) Mauley. [Burke's Peerage]

-----------------------

BARONY OF MAULEY (II)

PIERS DE MAULEY the Fourth, LORD MAULEY, son and heir. He was born 10 March 
1280/1, at Mulgrave Castle, and baptized the ninth day after his birth in the chapel 
there by the Prior of Grosmont. On the death, s.p., of his uncle Gilbert, Lord Gaunt, 7 
March 1297/8, he was found to be one of his heirs, and on 20 July 1302, having 
rendered homage, he was given his purparty of the inheritance. On 3 May 1303 he 
was a witness to a charter granted by the Prince of Wales at Durham. He was 
knighted, with Prince Edward, 22 May 1306, at Westminster, and accompanied him in 
his expeditioti to Scotland. On 28 September 1309 the escheator beyond Trent was 
ordered to deliver to him his father's lands as he had rendered homage. In 1310 he 
appeared before the chapter of Beverley, asking that his servants. who had broken 
St. John's peace, might be absolved from excommunication. He was summoned for 
military service against the Scots in 1309, and again in 1310 and subsequent years, 
and was summoned to Parliament from 26 October 1309 to 22 January 1335/6. On 15 
February 1311/2 he was summoned to a Council at York. On 16 April 1313 he was 
absolved by the Archbishop of York for incest with Aline, daughter of Sir Thomas de 
Furnival, his wife's sister, on condition that he paid 100 marks to the fabric of York 
Minster; and on 16 October he was pardoned with others, adherents of Thomas, Earl 
of Lancaster, for the death of Gavaston. On 6 January 1314/5 he was appointed one 
of the Wardens and Captains of the northern parts of England against the Scots, and 
was ordered to remain in the Marches for the defence thereof against the Scots. In 
1316 he and others were charged with robbing the prior of Watton; and in this year he 
was found to be lord of Ascot, co. Oxford. He is styled one of the Majores Barones in 
1318, and on 16 December was empowered to raise and arm all his men and tenants, 
presumably for the Scottish war. He seems to have separated himself from the 
Lancastrian party circa 1321, being ordered on 30 January 1320/1 to avoid illegal 
assemblies, and in November to abstain from the meeting of "Good Peers" at 
Doncaster. On 6 February 1321/2 he was ordered to raise as many men-at-arms as he 
could and be ready to march with them to the King, in whose service also he was 
going to Scotland in August. In November 1322 he was a mainpernor for the widow of 
the rebel Bartholomew Badlesmere, then in the Tower; and in December a licence was 
granted for John de Mauley, who had acquired without licence from him, described as 
Piers de Mauley, the elder, the castle and manor of Mulgrave and other property in 
Yorkshire, to regrant the same to him in fee. On 4 April 1323 the Archbishop of York 
issued an order for his purgation, a charge of adultery with Alice Deyvill having been 
made against him. In May 1324 he was summoned to the Great Council at 
Westminster. In August he was ordered to be ready to serve in Gascony, and in 
December and again in February and May following was ordered to Portsmouth for this 
service, from which he was discharged in July 1325. On 10 June 1324, as Piers de 
Mauley the Fourth, lord of Mulgrave, he released to Sir William de Clif, clerk, a 
messuage in London which he had inherited from his uncle Stephen. In June 1325 he 
is mentioned as having been outlawed for forest trespass in Essex, but he must have 
purged his offence, for he was summoned to a Council again in October. On 2 August 
1326 he was ordered to repair to his castle at Mulgrave to assist in the array. On 4 
January 1327/8 the Archbishop of York decreed penance for his adultery with Sara de 
London. In March 1331/2 he had licence to grant the manor and town of Doncaster 
and the advowson of Rossington to John de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, for life, with 
remainder to Piers le quynt and Margaret his wife in fee tail, and in November 1332 to 
grant 60 knights' fees to his son Piers in fee simple, with the reversion of Hexthorpe 
and other manors. From about this time he appears to have retired from public affairs, 
though he was summoned to a Council at York on 20 August 1335, and to Parliament 
in January following. In 1340 he had a confirmation of his pardon for debts to the 
Crown from 1309. On 23 May 1348, as Piers de Mauley le quart, he had licence to 
enfeoff Sir Robert de Mauley of certain manors.

He married, before 1309, Eleanor, daughter of Thomas DE FURNIVAL. He probably 
died soon after 23 May 1348. [Complete Peerage VIII:562-5, (transcribed by Dave
