Peter fitz Toret

Peter FitzToret, who appears first in 1160, was more probably the grandson or great-grandson, than the son of Toret. In the year a Donum of Â?46 4s 4d was assessed on the greater proprietors of Shropshire. Peter FitzTured's proportion was a considerable one, viz. 7s 3d, but it was excused by a Writ of KING Henry II. IN 1167, the Demesne-lands of Peter FitzTorette paid an amercement of 6s 8d, set upon them by Alan de Nevill, then Justice of the Forest. Peter fitz Thoret in 1180 attests deeds of William fitz Alan (II), of Madoc, son of Gervase Goch.

Peter Fitz Toret, whose name first appears in 1160, was more likely the grandson or great grandson of Torret the Saxon, than Torret's son. In the year of 1160, Peter was assessed on the greater Proprietors of Shropshire. Peter fitz Torette's proportion was a considerable one, but it was excused by a Writ of King Henry II [Rot. Pip. VI, 23 Hen. II, Salop]. In 1167, the Demesne-lands of Peter fitz Torette paid an amercement of 6s. 3d., set upon them by Alan de Nevill, who was Justice of the Forest at the time.

Peter Fitz Toret attested to deed of Willaim Fitz Alan, the second, of Madoc, son of Gervase Goch, and very many of Walter de Dunstaville, the first. In these attestation, none which were made later than 1194, he is often followed by his sons Philip and Bartholomew, and in one, there is a third son, Walter. It is also possible that Gerard Fitz Torret, of Evelth, was Peter's fourth son. It is likely that Philip, the eldest son, died without issue in his father's life time since Bartholomew succeeded his father.

In 1185 the Knights Templars held three carucates of land in Wighill of Robert, Lord Mowbray ; * and about 1200, Lucia, daughter of Bertram Haget, inherited part of Wighill and Easedyke from her father. She married Turet, grandson of a Saxon lord of that name at Wroxeter, in Salop, and demised her estate to her son Bartholomew. This Bartholomew dying without issue, his sister, Lucia Turet, succeeded to Wighill, and conveyed it by marriage to the Blancmonsters, an old Cornish family, long resident in the Scilly Islands.
