MARMADUKE DE THWENG, son and heir, was a surety in 1199 for Richard 
Malebysse, who had led an attack on Jews sheltering in York Castle. In 1200 he acted 
in a lawsuit as an attorney of his overlord Piers de Brus. He was in custody in 1204, 
when his sureties paid a fine and pledged themselves to restrain him from causing a 
tumult. He was summoned to elect jurors in 1207 and served as one in 1208. He 
seems to have joined the Northern barons in their opposition to King John, for in 1217 
he was mentioned as one of those who had made peace with the Crown. During the 
years 1221-29 he was often appointed Justice itinerant, and until August 1230 he 
acted as coroner in Yorks. He was employed in many other duties, in addition to his 
judicial activities. It was stated in 1218 that he had been one of a commission of 4 
men who had investigated a complaint by the bishop of Durham about a bretasch set 
upon the bridge across the Tyne and about a gate beyond the bridge, while in 1226, 
with 4 others, he accompanied Robert de Cokefeld, the newly appointed constable of 
the castles of Scarborough and Pickering, to view the state of these fortresses. In 
1230 he and others were ordered to take the oath, throughout Yorks, of all who had 
been sworn to arms at the time of King John. He was living on 23 November 1234, but 
the date of his death is not known (k). [Complete Peerage XII/1:736, (transcribed by

Robert Constable of Holderness.
