===Parents===
Lord Marmaduke Thwenge married Lucia de Brus in about 1247 at Kilton castle, and there second son was our subject Marmaduke Thwenge, Knight, born 1256.
===Marriage===
MARMADUKE II DE THWENG married 1273, Isabel, daughter of Sir William De Ros, of Ingmanthorpe, Yorks, by (it is said) Eustache, widow of Nicholas DE CAUNTELO, daughter and heir of Ralph FITZHUGH. She died in 1309 (b). He died shortly before 26 February 1322/3 (c). [Complete Peerage XII/1:740-1, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] (b) L'Anson says that she was buried in the north aisle of the chancel of Guisborough Priory.
: On the death of Thomas de Thweng [Marmaduke's 4th son] the Barony supposed to have been created by the writ of 1307 fell into abeyance, according to modern doctrine, among his coheirs. These were:
(1) Elizabeth, wife of William de Botreaux [Lord Botreaux], daughter of Sir Ralph Daubeney, [2nd Lord Daubeny] by his 2nd wife, Catherine, sister of Thomas.
(2) Isabel, wife of Walter de Pedwardene.
(3) John de Hotham, of Scorborough, Yorks, son of Maud, sister of Isabel, by John de Hotham. Isabel and Maud were daughters of Margaret, sister of Thomas de Thweng by Robert de Hylton of Swine, Yorks (i).
(4) Robert de Lumley, son of Marmaduke de Lumley, who was son of Lucy, sister of Thomas de Thweng, by Robert de Lumley. [Complete Peerage XII/1:743-4, XIV:612, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
: : (i) The family of Hylton of Swine was a younger branch of Hylton or Hilton, of Hilton. Coll. Top. et Gen. (vol vii, p. 67), following Dugdale, is wrong in stating that Margaret m. Robert de Hilton of Hilton, co. Durham.
===Occupation===
When he reach maturity he was in the service of his king, playing a prominent role in the Scottish wars. Ordered up in Summer of 1297 he joined John de Warrenne, 7th Earl of Surry, on a trip to the north to chastise the insurgent William Warren.
10th Sep. 1297 both the English under John de Warren, 7th Earl of Surrey and William Wallace arrived at the river Forth. The Scots deployed in a commanding position taking advantage of a slight rise in terrine, positioned main force on the high ground with a flank unit on each side of the northern entrance to the wooden Sterling Bridge. The road bed on the north side was only a few feet wider than the bridge which was wide enough for two horses to pass together. On each side of this road bed the flat ground was a marsh, easily traversed by foot soldiers but a death trap for heavily armored knight mounted on horse back.
The English morning of 11 Sep. 1297, started to cross the bridge and were called back as the Earl of Warren, was not yet awake. A meeting was called by John Warren to discuss the plan, Sir Richard Lundie , a Scott offered to take the Knights down stream a few hundred yards, were 60 horseman abreast could ford, the Froth, thereby outflanking Wallace. Hugh Cressingham, who was already upset that his men had been called back, fuming with impatience, snarled we are wasting the kings money. The earl gave him the order to cross, he arrogantly led his cavalry and foot soldiers across the bridge two by two. Marmaduke with his unit was up next, barely making the north side of the bridge. Wallace satisfied that about 5,000 was all his men could handle, sprang the attack. The flank units closed in at the head of the bridge and started to cut away the supports. The carnage had started, the Scots lightly armed were swarming all over the English. The mounted knights that left the road were at once bogged down unable to get free of the mud. Marmaduke turned his horse and followers and fought through the Scots at the bridge head, swiftly crossed back to safety.
Cressingham was pulled from his horse and skinned alive; it is claimed Wallace took a piece of flesh from his head to his heel, had a baldrick made from it. The Earl of Surry had not crossed, aghast at the carnage, he mounted and road for the border, tis said "he did not stop until the horse fell dead".
Due to such heroics deeds, Marmaduke Thweng and William Fitz Warin are awarded Stirling Castle, rather a poisoned chalice. The Scots, bolstered by there success , laid siege to the castle, soon they had it along with Marmaduke, under there control The Patent Rolls indicate Marmaduke was released around April 1299, apparently they had been held since shortly after the battle of Sterling Bridge. a letter patent 16 Jul 1299 awards protection for Marmaduke de Tweng.
Marmaduke's service in Gascony 1294 and 1296, and Scotland from 1297 onward, was rewarded by a summons to Parliament in Feb 1307, which continued almost until his death, which led to his being referred to as, Lord Thweng.
Although being summoned in Feb 1313, he was instructed to remain in Yorkshire, for the security of England.
Just a interesting note: a knight was expected to kill as many foot soldiers as possible yet to kill or injure a fellow knight was a major faux pas. if a knight was to face another knight in battle,the death of either was highly unlikely. the defeated knight would be captured then released upon ransom payment.

Lord Marmaduke Thwenge married Lucia de Brus in about 1247 at Kilton castle, and there second son was our subject Marmaduke Thwenge, Knight, born 1256.
===Marriage===
MARMADUKE II DE THWENG married 1273, Isabel, daughter of Sir William De Ros, of Ingmanthorpe, Yorks, by (it is said) Eustache, widow of Nicholas DE CAUNTELO, daughter and heir of Ralph FITZHUGH. She died in 1309 (b). He died shortly before 26 February 1322/3 (c). [Complete Peerage XII/1:740-1, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] (b) L'Anson says that she was buried in the north aisle of the chancel of Guisborough Priory.
: On the death of Thomas de Thweng [Marmaduke's 4th son] the Barony supposed to have been created by the writ of 1307 fell into abeyance, according to modern doctrine, among his coheirs. These were:
(1) Elizabeth, wife of William de Botreaux [Lord Botreaux], daughter of Sir Ralph Daubeney, [2nd Lord Daubeny] by his 2nd wife, Catherine, sister of Thomas.
(2) Isabel, wife of Walter de Pedwardene.
(3) John de Hotham, of Scorborough, Yorks, son of Maud, sister of Isabel, by John de Hotham. Isabel and Maud were daughters of Margaret, sister of Thomas de Thweng by Robert de Hylton of Swine, Yorks (i).
(4) Robert de Lumley, son of Marmaduke de Lumley, who was son of Lucy, sister of Thomas de Thweng, by Robert de Lumley. [Complete Peerage XII/1:743-4, XIV:612, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
: : (i) The family of Hylton of Swine was a younger branch of Hylton or Hilton, of Hilton. Coll. Top. et Gen. (vol vii, p. 67), following Dugdale, is wrong in stating that Margaret m. Robert de Hilton of Hilton, co. Durham.
===Occupation===
When he reach maturity he was in the service of his king, playing a prominent role in the Scottish wars. Ordered up in Summer of 1297 he joined John de Warrenne, 7th Earl of Surry, on a trip to the north to chastise the insurgent William Warren.
10th Sep. 1297 both the English under John de Warren, 7th Earl of Surrey and William Wallace arrived at the river Forth. The Scots deployed in a commanding position taking advantage of a slight rise in terrine, positioned main force on the high ground with a flank unit on each side of the northern entrance to the wooden Sterling Bridge. The road bed on the north side was only a few feet wider than the bridge which was wide enough for two horses to pass together. On each side of this road bed the flat ground was a marsh, easily traversed by foot soldiers but a death trap for heavily armored knight mounted on horse back.
The English morning of 11 Sep. 1297, started to cross the bridge and were called back as the Earl of Warren, was not yet awake. A meeting was called by John Warren to discuss the plan, Sir Richard Lundie , a Scott offered to take the Knights down stream a few hundred yards, were 60 horseman abreast could ford, the Froth, thereby outflanking Wallace. Hugh Cressingham, who was already upset that his men had been called back, fuming with impatience, snarled we are wasting the kings money. The earl gave him the order to cross, he arrogantly led his cavalry and foot soldiers across the bridge two by two. Marmaduke with his unit was up next, barely making the north side of the bridge. Wallace satisfied that about 5,000 was all his men could handle, sprang the attack. The flank units closed in at the head of the bridge and started to cut away the supports. The carnage had started, the Scots lightly armed were swarming all over the English. The mounted knights that left the road were at once bogged down unable to get free of the mud. Marmaduke turned his horse and followers and fought through the Scots at the bridge head, swiftly crossed back to safety.
Cressingham was pulled from his horse and skinned alive; it is claimed Wallace took a piece of flesh from his head to his heel, had a baldrick made from it. The Earl of Surry had not crossed, aghast at the carnage, he mounted and road for the border, tis said "he did not stop until the horse fell dead".
Due to such heroics deeds, Marmaduke Thweng and William Fitz Warin are awarded Stirling Castle, rather a poisoned chalice. The Scots, bolstered by there success , laid siege to the castle, soon they had it along with Marmaduke, under there control The Patent Rolls indicate Marmaduke was released around April 1299, apparently they had been held since shortly after the battle of Sterling Bridge. a letter patent 16 Jul 1299 awards protection for Marmaduke de Tweng.
Marmaduke's service in Gascony 1294 and 1296, and Scotland from 1297 onward, was rewarded by a summons to Parliament in Feb 1307, which continued almost until his death, which led to his being referred to as, Lord Thweng.
Although being summoned in Feb 1313, he was instructed to remain in Yorkshire, for the security of England.
Just a interesting note: a knight was expected to kill as many foot soldiers as possible yet to kill or injure a fellow knight was a major faux pas. if a knight was to face another knight in battle,the death of either was highly unlikely. the defeated knight would be captured then released upon ransom payment.

MARMADUKE II DE THWENG married 1273, Isabel, daughter of Sir William De Ros, of Ingmanthorpe, Yorks, by (it is said) Eustache, widow of Nicholas DE CAUNTELO, daughter and heir of Ralph FITZHUGH. She died in 1309 (b). He died shortly before 26 February 1322/3 (c). [Complete Peerage XII/1:740-1, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] (b) L'Anson says that she was buried in the north aisle of the chancel of Guisborough Priory.
: On the death of Thomas de Thweng [Marmaduke's 4th son] the Barony supposed to have been created by the writ of 1307 fell into abeyance, according to modern doctrine, among his coheirs. These were:
(1) Elizabeth, wife of William de Botreaux [Lord Botreaux], daughter of Sir Ralph Daubeney, [2nd Lord Daubeny] by his 2nd wife, Catherine, sister of Thomas.
(2) Isabel, wife of Walter de Pedwardene.
(3) John de Hotham, of Scorborough, Yorks, son of Maud, sister of Isabel, by John de Hotham. Isabel and Maud were daughters of Margaret, sister of Thomas de Thweng by Robert de Hylton of Swine, Yorks (i).
(4) Robert de Lumley, son of Marmaduke de Lumley, who was son of Lucy, sister of Thomas de Thweng, by Robert de Lumley. [Complete Peerage XII/1:743-4, XIV:612, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]
: : (i) The family of Hylton of Swine was a younger branch of Hylton or Hilton, of Hilton. Coll. Top. et Gen. (vol vii, p. 67), following Dugdale, is wrong in stating that Margaret m. Robert de Hilton of Hilton, co. Durham.
===Occupation===
When he reach maturity he was in the service of his king, playing a prominent role in the Scottish wars. Ordered up in Summer of 1297 he joined John de Warrenne, 7th Earl of Surry, on a trip to the north to chastise the insurgent William Warren.
10th Sep. 1297 both the English under John de Warren, 7th Earl of Surrey and William Wallace arrived at the river Forth. The Scots deployed in a commanding position taking advantage of a slight rise in terrine, positioned main force on the high ground with a flank unit on each side of the northern entrance to the wooden Sterling Bridge. The road bed on the north side was only a few feet wider than the bridge which was wide enough for two horses to pass together. On each side of this road bed the flat ground was a marsh, easily traversed by foot soldiers but a death trap for heavily armored knight mounted on horse back.
The English morning of 11 Sep. 1297, started to cross the bridge and were called back as the Earl of Warren, was not yet awake. A meeting was called by John Warren to discuss the plan, Sir Richard Lundie , a Scott offered to take the Knights down stream a few hundred yards, were 60 horseman abreast could ford, the Froth, thereby outflanking Wallace. Hugh Cressingham, who was already upset that his men had been called back, fuming with impatience, snarled we are wasting the kings money. The earl gave him the order to cross, he arrogantly led his cavalry and foot soldiers across the bridge two by two. Marmaduke with his unit was up next, barely making the north side of the bridge. Wallace satisfied that about 5,000 was all his men could handle, sprang the attack. The flank units closed in at the head of the bridge and started to cut away the supports. The carnage had started, the Scots lightly armed were swarming all over the English. The mounted knights that left the road were at once bogged down unable to get free of the mud. Marmaduke turned his horse and followers and fought through the Scots at the bridge head, swiftly crossed back to safety.
Cressingham was pulled from his horse and skinned alive; it is claimed Wallace took a piece of flesh from his head to his heel, had a baldrick made from it. The Earl of Surry had not crossed, aghast at the carnage, he mounted and road for the border, tis said "he did not stop until the horse fell dead".
Due to such heroics deeds, Marmaduke Thweng and William Fitz Warin are awarded Stirling Castle, rather a poisoned chalice. The Scots, bolstered by there success , laid siege to the castle, soon they had it along with Marmaduke, under there control The Patent Rolls indicate Marmaduke was released around April 1299, apparently they had been held since shortly after the battle of Sterling Bridge. a letter patent 16 Jul 1299 awards protection for Marmaduke de Tweng.
Marmaduke's service in Gascony 1294 and 1296, and Scotland from 1297 onward, was rewarded by a summons to Parliament in Feb 1307, which continued almost until his death, which led to his being referred to as, Lord Thweng.
Although being summoned in Feb 1313, he was instructed to remain in Yorkshire, for the security of England.
Just a interesting note: a knight was expected to kill as many foot soldiers as possible yet to kill or injure a fellow knight was a major faux pas. if a knight was to face another knight in battle,the death of either was highly unlikely. the defeated knight would be captured then released upon ransom payment.
