Henry de Walton

(1155 - Bef 1240)

[James H. Maloney.ged]

[Henry's father] Gilbert died in 1196, in which year his son Henry owed 40s. for livery of the serjeanty of Derbyshire and appurtenant lands; Lancs. Pipe R. 94.
In 1206 the king took a fine of 5 marks from Henry de Walton for a reconfirmation of his serjeanty, which had been seized into the king's hands in consequence of an inquiry ordered concerning serjeanties of the honour alienated from the honour of Lanc.; Close (Rec. Com.), 55. See also Lancs. Pipe R. 106.

The master serjeant, in addition to the estates held with the office, received a profit called 'foldage' from cattle impounded in execution at the rate of ½d. for each night in winter and ¼d. in summer. The office was worth £9 13s. 4d. a year in 1321; Inq. p. m. 15 Edw. II, n. 31.
In 1166/7 Walton paid 3½ marks to the aid of an expedition to Normandy. Lancs. Pipe R. 35.
