Sir Simon de Vere, of Sproatley & Goxhill

From Middle division: Sproatley Pages 95-107. A History of the County of York East Riding: Volume 7, Holderness Wapentake, Middle and North Divisions. Originally published by Victoria County History, London, 2002.

Walter's son, (Sir) Simon de Ver (d. c. 1264), was claiming 1 carucate there in 1230, (fn. 83) and his son, Simon, was later said to have held 6 or 7 carucates of the Aumale fee in Sproatley. (fn. 84) The younger Simon, a rebel against the Crown in the 1260s, divided and sold his estate. His manor of SPROATLEY was bought by Roger Darcy, who, apparently under pressure, re-sold it to the king in 1275 or 1276, in which latter year a de Ver widow also released her right in land in Sproatley to the king. (fn. 85) The Crown's estate may later have been subsumed in the chief manor. (fn. 86) Much of de Ver's land was, however, sold to the Constable, Gilt, and Lund families, (fn. 87) and by the 1280s free tenants occupied most of the holding and only 1 carucate and 2 bovates was held by the king in demesne. (fn. 88) Some land seems to have been retained by the de Vers, one or more John de Vers of Sproatley being recorded in the late 13th and mid 14th centuries. (fn. 89)
