Eustace de Balliol (or Eustace de Helicourt) (died c. 1209) was the cousin and successor of Bernard II de Balliol, lord of Balliol and Barnard Castle. He was the lord of Hélicourt in Picardy, an estate near the chief seat of the main Balliol line at Bailleul-en-Vimeu; after his cousin died childless, in 1190 Eustace de Helicourt took over those estates and remarried.[1]

In 1189–95 he quitclaimed the manor of Long Newton, Durham to Hugh du Puiset, Bishop of Durham, as well as all the land that Bernard de Balliol held in the vill of Newhouse. In 1199–1200, as heir of Bernard de Balliol, he rendered account of 60 marks for his scutage, of which he had paid 10 marks; he also owed £120 for the second and third scutages of King Richard I, which was remitted by brief of King John. Sometime in the period, 1199–1205, he confirmed to St. Mary's, York the advowsons of the churches of Gainford and Stainton, Durham and Stokesley, Yorkshire and their tithes which Guy de Balliol previously granted them. In 1200 he and his son, Hugh, quitclaimed by fine to Robert, Abbot of York the advowsons of the church of Gainford, Durham, and the chapels of Barnard Castle, Middleton, Denton, Houghton-le-Side, and Snow Hall (in Gainford), Durham.

He and his [unknown] first wife, Petronilla FitzPiers [was his second wife] had four known sons, all of whom appeared in the Durham Liber Vitae: Hugh, Enguerrand (Ingram or Ingelram), Bernard, and Henry; his eldest son Hugh succeeded him, while his younger sons Enguerrand and Henry gained the patronage of the Scottish kings and founded Scottish cadet branches based at Inverkeilor (Enguerrand) and at Cavers (Henry).[1] Eustace's son Hugh had succeeded him by around 1209.[1]

PoMS, no. 1770 (https://www.poms.ac.uk/record/person/1770/; accessed 01 May 2023)

Hugh Balliol, lord of Barnard Castle in County Durham, was the eldest son of Eustace de Hélicourt (later de Balliol; d.c.1208). He had at least three brothers, Bernard (d.1212), perhaps a cleric, Ingram (d.1239×44), lord of Urr and Dalton in Galloway and Tours-en-Vimeu in Picardy, and Henry (d.1246), later chamberlain of Scotland.

From Stirnet: 'Baliol1' Eustace Baliol of Bywell & Barnard Castle (d c1200). sources show Eustace as father of Hugh by Petronell. However, Hodgson shows him (and his siblings) as son of an earlier unnamed wife.

9. “Eustace de Balliol” (2003) soc.general.medieval < GoogleGroups > On Pernel/Petronilla, Complete Peerage vol. 5, in a chart pedigree in the Essex article, shows that Petronelle, widow of Robert fitz Piers (1st son of Piers de Lutegareshgale), who d. s.p. 1185 or 1186, was living 17 October 1198, and remarried to Eustace de Baillol, of Barnard Castle, who was dead in 1211. Keats-Rohan, Domesday Descendants, p. 300, says that Eustace died 1200, and refers to Sanders, English Baronies, p. 25 for his family. … Eustace's first wife was named Ada, and on chronological grounds she appears to have been the mother of his known sons. There may be better evidence for this in EYC, as well as for her family origin - I don't recall any suggestion that she was a Percy.
