About Amphyllis de Richmond

Before 1190 [c. 1175] Alan the Constable gave Pickhill, as part of the dowry of his daughter Amphyllis, to Jollan de Nevill, (fn. 9) and this family of Nevill, who were also of Rollestone in Nottinghamshire, (fn. 10) retained Pickhill until the middle of the 16th century. This Jollan was succeeded first by his son John, (fn. 11) and then by his younger son Jollan. The latter was a justice in eyre in the reign of Henry III, and the returns known as the Testa de Nevill have been ascribed to him. (fn. 12) His first son and heir Jollan made an agreement in 1250 with his father's widow with regard to her dower here and elsewhere. (fn. 13) In 1255 John, brother of the last Jollan de Nevill, confirmed to the monks of Fountains Abbey 4½ carucates of land in Roxby and Pickhill, some, if not all, of which they had acquired in or before the reign of Richard I. (fn. 14) The abbey of Fountains held land here with perquisites of court at the Dissolution, and this manor was granted in 1568 to Percival Bowes and John Moyser and their heirs, (fn. 15) but there is no later history of it. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/yorks/north/vol1/pp377-383

Amphelicia outlived her husband, probably by quite a few years considering that she figures into some of the entries in the "Testa de Nevill" (Liber Feodorum or Book of Fees, collected entries from the reigns of Kings John and Henry III).



Pickall Manor was his (Rould d) wedding gift to his granddaughter Amfelisa who married Johanus [sic!] de Neville.
