SIR MICHAEL DE POYNINGS, (presumably son and) heir, was summoned in 1294 to
attend the King on urgent matters. In October 1295 and June 1297 he was preparing
for service in Scotland, under Earl de Warenne. In 1296 he was enrolled for defence
of the coast, as a non-resident knight of Sussex; in 1297, having lands and rents
valued at £20 and more a year in Sussex and Surrey, he had a double summons, both
direct and by the sheriff, for service overseas. In October 1299 he was going abroad
with Henry de Percy. He and his wife were summoned to the Coronation of Edward II.
M.P. for Sussex, 1312/3. He married some time before 8 June 1298, Margery (----). He
is probably to be identified with the Miles [sic] de Ponynges killed at Bannockburn, 24
June 1314 (i). His widow was living in February 1333/4. [Complete Peerage X:659,
(transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
(i) In Mar 1315/6 his widow was holding dower in the Poynings' lands in Sussex and
Suffolk. He had a younger son Michael (Michel de Ponynges le Uncle), who was going
to France in his nephew's company, June 1340, and was killed on Good Friday 1347,
when his sister Margery was forcibly carried off from the manor of Beams, near
Reading, by Sir John de Dalton. The matrimonial history of this lady is very fully
recorded in the rolls of the King's Chancery.
