Sir Edmund Fitton, of Bolyn

" Biography
Sir Edmund Fytun[1] alias Fyton,[2] [3] Fiton[4]
Sir Edmund Fitton was born about 1240 in Bollin, Cheshire, England.
A writ of certiorari regarding Richard de Erreby alias de Orreby was sent on 20 March, 4 Edward I [1276], to the justice of Chester, on the complaint of Edmund Fyton, that he ought to have the ward-ship of Richard de Orreby's lands in Northclyff, but the justice because of a certain forestry held of the king, had taken them into the king's hand. The resultant Inquisition taken at Chester on Monday the morrow of Easter, 4 Edward I [6 April, 1276], found that the ward-ship of the lands etc in the manor of Nortclif which were of the said Richard ought to pertain to Edmund Phiton, because Geoffrey called Waleys, who sold that land to Richard was in the ward-ship of Richard Phyton, grandfather of Edmund, by reason of the said land and all his predecessors were in the ward-ship of the said Edmund's predecessors. Richardde Orreby's heir was his thirteen year-old son, Thomas.[2]
An extent of lands in York pertaining to the honour of Richemund, held by Peter de Sabaudia, taken on Friday before SS Tiburcius and Valerian, ... Edward I (very defective) [but after 15 May, 8 Edward I, 1280, which was the date of the writ re Peter de Sabaudia], found that of the knights' fees which owed guard at the castle of Richmond in co York, Edmund Fyton rendered ½ mark for 1 fee in Holteby and Enderdeby, and ½ mark for 1 fee in Great Couton.[3] Another extent taken at York on Saturday after St Luke, 11 Edward I [23 October, 1283], found Sir Edmund Fytun held 2 fees in Couton, and he also held of the king in the counties of Blakeburn and Bolin, manner unknown.[1]
An Extent of Henry de Lee's holdings taken at Lancaster, on Monday before the Nativity of the Blessed Mary, 17 Edward I [5 September, 1289], found that Henry held 1 bovate of land in Quelton in demesne of Edmund Fiton for 2d yearly.[4]
