About Alexander de Hilton, of Rennington

  • 'Hilton01'
  • William de Helton (d before 20.04.1208)
  • m. Bone (dau of German Tison of Shilbottle)
    • 1. Alexander de Hilton of Helton or Hilton
    • m. Agnes de Verly (sister of Hugh de Verly)
      • A. Robert de Hilton, 1st Lord (d c1310)
      • BE1883 (Hilton of Hilton) appears to confuse this Robert de Hilton with Robert de Hilton of Swine (see below) by reporting that he was the one who married Marmaduke de Thweng. TCP (Thweng) reports that this had been suggested by Dugdale, wrongly.
      • m. (before 12.1255) Joan (dau of William Le/De Breton of Essex)
        • i. Alexander de Hilton of Rennington (dvp c1303)
        • m. Elizabeth
          • a. Robert de Hilton, 2nd Lord (d c1322)
          • m1. Joan
          • m2. (before 13.02.1314/5) Ellen (d before 12.04.1339, widow of Walter, Lord Huntercombe)
            • (1) .... etc.
        • ii. Sir William de Hilton of Swine and Winestead (d 1290-1)
        • The following is supported by VCH (Yorkshire, East Riding volume 7, Swine) though, other than to note that Sir William's widow Maud m2. Sir Robert de Tilliol, VCH does not name any of the wives. Sir William's wife is identified by TCP (Lascelles) as ...
        • m. (1288) Maud de Lascelles (d 1343, dau of Roger, Lord Lascelles, m2. Sir Robert de Tilliol)
          • a. Sir Robert de Hilton or Hylton of Swine (d c1351)
          • (1) Having reference to the dates, it is presumed that this was the Robert (rather than his son) who married Margaret Thweng, sister of Thomas, 4th Lord. TCP (Thweng) identifies Thomas's coheirs as including Margaret's daughter Isabel and John, son of Isabel's sister Maud. There is no mention of Sir Robert Hilton so it is presumed that Sir Robert was not Margaret's son.
          • (2) Robert, husband of Margaret Thweng, is sometimes described as though he was a Lord but this appears to have resulted from confusion with either his grandfather or his cousin (above).

          • m2/1. Margaret de Thweng (dau of Marmaduke de Thweng, 1st Lord, sister of Thomas, 4th Lord)
