• Notes

  1405, March 26. - John and Roger, sons of Sir John Warde, knight, released to Richard de Skelton all their right in a garden in Annsgate, Ripon. Witnesses: William de Fencotes, and others. Sir John had granted this property to John Memersmyth and Beatrice his wife before December 29, 1391 1414., December 10. - Roger son and heir of Sir John Warde_ presented Simon Warde, clerk, to the Rectory of Guiseley, on the death of Robert Marras. 1413, Trinity Term. - Elizabeth widow of John de Hirst appealed Thomas de Merkyngfeld the younger, John and Robert de Merkyngfeld, Roger Ward and Nicholas Ward, and others for the death of her husband. The three Markenfields were sons of Sir Thomas Markenfield; Roger Warde married their sister Joan, and this note suggests that the marriage has already taken place. 1414-5, March 1, April 16. - Roger Ward witnessed the agreement for the marriage of Walter, son of Sir Walter de Calverley, with Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas de Markenfield of Markenfield, and the settlement consequent thereon. Elizabeth Markenfield was the sister of Roger Warde's wife. 1415, June 25. - By the inquisition taken after the death of Beatrice, widow of Thomas, Lord de Roos, it was found that her Baildon property was held of Sir John Warde, by knight service. The information as to the tenure was probably copied from the earlier inquisition in 1383; Sir John was certainly dead, and the property was held of Roger. 1416, September 20. - Roger Warde presented William Sharrowe, priest, to the Rectory of Guiseley, on the death of Simon Warde. 1422-3.- A deed was executed relating to the estate of Sir Roger Warde, Joan his wife, and Nicholas his son, in Givendale, Asshold [Esholt] and Keswick. 1423, Michaelmas Term. - Katherine, Queen of England, complained of Roger Warde of Gyndale, chivaler, and Nicholas Warde of Gyndale, esq., for hunting in her park at Knaresborough without leave, and taking and carrying off her game [finis] there. 1423-4, March 15. - Sir Roger Warde witnessed a charter of Sir John Bigodof Settrington, and others, the surviving feoffees of Sir WalterCalverley, deceased, releasing the manors of Calverley, Burley inWharfedale, etc., to Walter Calverley. 1429, June 18. - At the proof of age of William Ingilby of Ripley, Roger Warde, chivaler, aged 46, testified that William came of age on June 8 last; Roger well remembered his birth, for on that day he was knighted. This evidence gives us two useful facts, Sir Roger's age, and his knighthood on June 8, 1408.
