Gilbert de Walton

(1117 - 1196)

[James H. Maloney.ged]

Waldeve's son and successor, Gilbert, was outlawed after the barons' rebellion of 1173/4, but in 1176 made his peace, proffering the enormous sum of £400 to obtain remission of the sentence. Between 1189 and 1194, John, count of Mortain, confirmed this estate [in Walton] and serjeanty to Gilbert, to hold by the yearly service of 2 marks. Gilbert had two sons, Henry and Richard.

Lancs. Pipe R. 106. Gilbert in 1194 rendered 40s. as a fine to have the king's good will after having participated in the rebellion of Count John; ibid. 78. He appears to have had lands in Warwickshire also; Pipe R. 1 Ric. I (ed. Hunter), 123

Lancashire Pipe Rolls, Liverpool, 1912, p. 33, note about Gilbert:
Gilbert, son of Waltheof, had been outlawed. The reason is not disclosed, but the rebellion of 1173-4 offers sufficient grounds, in the absence of any other evidence, for the supposition that he had taken part against the King with the rebellious barons. The magnitude of the fine which he offered for remission of sentence of outlawry, and restitution of his office and lands, is explained by the fact that he held by inheritance the office of Master Sergeant of the Wapentake of West Derby, and lands in Walton, Wavertree, and Newsham by grand serjeanty, conferred upon his father Waltheof, by William, Count of Boulogne, Mortain, and Warren". Henry de Walton afterwards obtained from King John a confirmation of the said lands and office, previously confirmed to his father Gilbert, son of Waltheof, when John was Count of Mortaiu and Boulogne. He also obtained the restitution of an estate at Chesterton in ??. Stafford, given by King Henry to the said Waltheof circa 1155-1157, which Gilbert de Walton had forfeited about this time (Pipe Roll 1 John):

Gilbert, son of Waldeve, of Walton, near West Derby, was a witness to the charter for Burscough Priory made about 1190 by Robert de Lathom; The Lancashire Chartulary, p. 352
