PHILIP de Kyme, son of SIMON de Kyme & his wife Agnes --- (-after 1191).

A charter of King Edward I records the founding of Kyme priory by “Philippus de Kyme miles primus fundator, Simon de Kyme filius Philippi”, dated to the reign of King Henry II[1305].

"Philippus de Kime" confirmed the donations by "patris mei" of the churches of Bullington and Langton by Wragby by charter dated to [1150/55], witnessed by "…Symon filius Synonis, Willelmus frater eius…"[1306].

Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Philippus de Kyma" held two knights’ fees from "Willelmi de Romara" in Lincolnshire[1307]. “Philippus de Kima et uxor eius Hahewissa” confirmed donations to Bullington priory, Lincolnshire by "Simon filius Willelmi pater meus", by undated charter[1308].

The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Philippo de Kime ii m" in Lincolnshire in [1161/62][1309].

"Philippo de Kymba, Symone fratre eius, Symone et Willelmo filiis Philippi de Kymba…" witnessed the charter dated to [1175/81] under which Geoffrey Bishop of Lincoln confirmed property of Bullington priory[1310].

The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Philippus de Kime" in Lincolnshire[1311].

"Philippus de Kyma" donated one third of the land of "Geruasii de Haltona in Haltona" to Bullington priory by charter dated to late in the reign of King Henry II, witnessed by "…Symone, Willelmo, Philippo filiis meis, Symone fratre meo…"[1312]. "Domina Hawisa de Kyma sponsa mea, Willelmo filio meo…" witnessed the charter dated 1191 under which "Philippus de Kyma" made provision towards payment of a debt of Bullington priory[1313].

m HAWISE, daughter of --- (-after 1194). “Philippus de Kima et uxor eius Hahewissa” confirmed donations to Bullington priory, Lincolnshire by "Simon filius Willelmi pater meus", by undated charter[1314]. The parentage of Hawise is unknown. However, the Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "Agnes de Percy" paying "xx s per Simonem de Kime, ii milites" in Lincolnshire[1315]. It is assumed that "Simonem de Kime" can be identified as Simon, son of Philip and his wife Hawise. The connection between Agnes de Percy (presumably the widow of Joscelin de Louvain) and Simon de Kyme has not yet been established. However, it is highly unusual in the Red Book to find a widow recorded as paying scutage on behalf of another person (this is the only example which has been noted so far during the preparation of the present document). The entry therefore suggests a close family relationship between the two individuals. Simon de Kyme was a minor in [1190/91] (a curia regis entry records that "Sim de Kima" replaced "Hawisie matris ipsius Sim" in a lawsuit relating to the dowry of "Agnete de Amundevill" in 1194[1316], demonstrating that he must have acted through his mother as guardian until that date). The death of his father is estimated in [1189]. In the normal course of events, one would have expected Simon’s mother to have acted on his behalf in transactions in [1190/91]. However, if she was temporarily unavailable for some reason (illness, childbirth…), it is possible that she would have been replaced by her own widowed mother, who would therefore have been Simon’s maternal grandmother. If this speculation is correct, the wife of Philip de Kyme would have been Hawise, daughter of Joscelin de Louvain & his wife Agnes de Percy. "Domina Hawisa de Kyma sponsa mea, Willelmo filio meo…" witnessed the charter dated 1191 under which "Philippus de Kyma" made provision towards payment of a debt of Bullington priory[1317].

Philip & his wife had eight or more children (the suggested order of birth of Philip’s sons is based on the order in which their names appear in the various charters which are quoted below, although this does not represent the only possible interpretation of these documents):

1. WILLIAM de Kyme (-[1160/70]). "…Willelmo filio Simonis et Simone fratre eius et Wal--- eius…" witnessed the * charter dated to early in the reign of King Henry II under which "Philippus de Kyme" donated the church of Ingham to Bullington priory[1318]. The order of the names of the witnesses in this document suggests that William was the oldest of Philip’s sons at the date of the charter. However, Philip’s son William is named after his brothers Simon and Philip in other charters (see below). This suggests that William who is named in the first charter was an otherwise unrecorded oldest son who died young, and whose name was given to another son who was born after his death. m MARGARET, daughter of ROBERT FitzRobert & his wife Rohese de Clare (-after 1189). An undated charter records donations to Appleton, including those made by “Willelmi de Kima...in territorio de Eskinton...quas Robertus dapifer pater Margarete uxoris sue eis in obitu suo dimisit”[1319].
2. SIMON de Kyme (-1220). "Phylippus de Kyma" donated land at Huttoft and Sutton in the Marsh to Bullington priory, for the souls of "uxoris mee Hawise et filiorum et filiarum mearum" by charter dated to the reign of King Henry II, witnessed by "Willelmo de Kyma, Waltero de Kyma filiis meis…"[1320]. "…Willelmo filio Simonis et Simone fratre eius et Wal--- eius…" witnessed the charter dated to early in the reign of King Henry II under which "Philippus de Kyme" donated the church of Ingham to Bullington priory[1321].

"Philippo de Kymba, Symone fratre eius, Symone et Willelmo filiis Philippi de Kymba…" witnessed the charter dated to [1175/81] under which Geoffrey Bishop of Lincoln confirmed property of Bullington priory[1323]. "Philippus de Kyma" donated one third of the land of "Geruasii de Haltona in Haltona" to Bullington priory by charter dated to late in the reign of King Henry II, witnessed by "…Symone, Willelmo, Philippo filiis meis, Symone fratre meo…"[1324]. "Philippus de Kyma" granted land at Hallington, Lincolnshire to "Roberto filio Ricardi in maritagio cum Hawisa filia mea", with the consent of "Hawise uxoris mee", by charter dated to the reign of King Henry II, witnessed by "Symone, Willelmo, Waltero, Gilleberto filiis meis…"[1325]. A charter of King Edward I records the founding of Kyme priory by “Philippus de Kyme miles primus fundator, Simon de Kyme filius Philippi”, dated to the reign of King Henry II[1326]. The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "Agnes de Percy" paying "xx s per Simonem de Kime, ii milites" in Lincolnshire[1327]. The connection between Agnes de Percy and Simon de Kyme has not been established. "Sim de Kima" replaced "Hawisie matris ipsius Sim" in a lawsuit relating to the dowry of "Agnete de Amundevill" in 1194[1328], presumably indicating that Simon had reached the age of majority. "Simone de Kima, Philippo filio eiusdem, Hugone filio Simonis…" witnessed the charter dated to [1189/99] under which Gilbert of Benniworth donated property of Bullington priory[1329]. The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Simon de Kima" holding two knights’ fees in Lincolnshire in [1210/12][1330]. Bracton records a claim, dated 1219, by "Simon de Kima et Roesia uxor eius" against "Hugonem de Lay"[1331]. m ROHESE, daughter of ROBERT FitzRobert & his wife Rohese de Clare (-after 1220). “Philippus de Kima, filius domini Simonis de Kima” confirmed donations to Bullington priory, Lincolnshire by "quondam Philippi avi mei", for the soul of “…matris meæ Roissiæ”, by undated charter[1332]. A manuscript genealogy of the Gant family records that “Gilbertus”, son of “Walterus”, married “Roesiam comitissam Lincolniæ”, adding that she married secondly "Roberto dapifero" by whom she was mother of "Roesia de Bulington nupta Simoni de Kyma"[1333]. Bracton records a claim, dated 1219, by "Simon de Kima et Roesia uxor eius" against "Hugonem de Lay"[1334]. "Rose who was the wife of Simon of Kyme" paid a fine "for summoning William of Kyme" to appear to "render her a knight’s fee…in Elkington and Caletoft", dated [May] 1220[1335].

["…Willelmo filio Simonis et Simone fratre eius et Wal--- eius…" witnessed the charter dated to early in the reign of King Henry II under which "Philippus de Kyme" donated the church of Ingham to Bullington priory[1355]. The order of the names of the witnesses in this document suggests that William was the oldest of Philip’s sons at the date of the charter. However, Philip’s son William is named after his brothers Simon and Philip in other charters (see below). This suggests that William who is named in the first charter was an otherwise unrecorded oldest son who died young, and whose name was given to another son who was born after his death.] "Symon filius Philippi de Kyme, Philippus filius Philippi, Willelmus filius Philippi…" witnessed the charter dated to the reign of King Henry II under which "Philippus de Kyme" donated the churches of Bullington and Langton by Wragby to Bullington priory[1356].
