Marmaduke Thweng, 1st Baron Thweng http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmaduke_Thweng,_1st_Baron_Thweng From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Marmaduke Thweng (or Tweng, Thwinge etc.), later 1st Baron Thweng, was an English knight from Yorkshire who fought in the Wars of Scottish Independence.[1]

The son of Sir Marmaduke Thweng of Kilton and his wife Lucy de Brus. His mother was the great, great granddaughter of Adam de Brus, Lord of Skelton brother to Robert de Brus, 1st Lord of Annandale, Thweng was also a vassal of Robert de Brus, 6th Lord of Annandale by virtue of the latter's fief in the North Riding, ties that would have far reaching effects during his career. He fought on the English side at the Battle of Stirling Bridge and the Battle of Bannockburn. He achieved some fame at Stirling Bridge by a heroic escape. Over 100 English knights had been trapped, together with several thousand infantry, on the far side of the river, and were being slaughtered by the Scots. Thweng managed to fight his way back across the bridge and he thus became the only knight of all those on the far side of the river to survive the battle.

Following the rout, Thweng with William FitzWarin were appointed castellans of Stirling Castle by the English leader John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey. The castle was quickly starved into submission, and Thweng and FitzWarin were taken prisoner to Dumbarton Castle.

At Bannockburn, however, after the English defeat, Sir Marmaduke apparently made no attempt to escape. Instead he wandered over the battlefield until he located Robert the Bruce; only then was he prepared to surrender, and only to the victorious King. Robert recognised Sir Marmaduke and released him and Ralph de Monthermer, also captured, both without ransom, but not without first entertaining them at table.[2] [edit]References

In the 5th year of the reign of King Edward I (1279) Marmaduke and Lucy and a group of other nobles were involved in a court case: The focus of the writ was not to determine whether Avice, the daughter of William le Gros, was legitimate, but whether she existed at all. Below is the text of the writ sent to the Sheriff of Yorkshire by Edward I.

"Edward by the Grace of God, King of England, Lord of Ireland, and the Duke of Aquitaine, to the sheriff of Yorkshire, greeting. As we have appointed our trusty and wellbeloved Nicholas de Stapleton, Phillip de Willeby and Thomas de Normanville to enquire by oath of 24 knights and other honourable and lawfull men of the counties of York and Lincoln, of whom twelve at least will be girt with swords through whom the truth of the matter maybe better ascertained, and who shall not be affected by any relationship to John de Eston, nor to Philip de Wyvelsby, nor to Walter de Fauconberg or Agnes his wife, Marmaduke Twenge or Lucy his wife, Margaret formerly the wife of Robert de Ros, John de Belleau or Ladereyne his wife, or to Alice de Luci and Thomas de Moleton ; whether William le Gros the son of Stephen, formerly Earl of Albemarle, had a certain daughter Anice [sic] by name as John de Eston says, or not, as the aforesaid Philip, Walter, Agnes, Marmaduke, Lucy, Margaret, John, Ledereyne, Alice, Thomas say: and if they should find by that enquiry that the aforesaid William never had such a daughter Anice by name then that they should enquire by oath of the same men, if the aforesaid Stephen, father of the aforesaid William, Earl of Albemarle, had a son Simon by name, as the aforesaid Philip says, or not, as the aforesaid John, Walter, Agnes, Marmaduke, Lucy Margaret, John, Alice and Thomas say. Then, just as the aforesaid John de Eston and Philip, so have the aforesaid Walter, Agnes and the rest between whom there is a dispute before us in our court, put themselves upon that inquisition. And therefore we enjoin you that on the appointed day and at the place which the same Nicholas, Philip and Thomas shall have made known to you, you shall cause to come into their presence the knights and other such and so many honourable and lawful men of your jurisdiction, by means of whom the truth of the matter in the premises may be better enquired into and ascertained. And you shall have this writ there. Witness, Myself, at Donestapel, the second day of March, in the fifth year of Our Reign.
