• Background Information. ¹¹¹⁶
The manor of Empingham was given by Roger de Mowbray to Ralph de Normanville for his services. Ralph seems to have forfeited it, for Roger later restored it to Gerold de Normanville, possibly Ralph's son, to whom it was confirmed by King Henry II [Cal. Pat. R. 1494-1509, p. 268]. Ralph and Gerold de Normanville were witnesses to the foundation of the Abbey of St. Mary, Huntingdon, by Simon, Earl of Northampton, in 1146/7 [Geneal. New Ser., 13, 15]. Gerold was living in 1164/5. By an undated charter, he granted to Geoffrey de la Mare in frank marriage with Mary, his daughter, at the door of the church of St. Peter in Stamford, lands and rent in Empingham [Blore, op. cit. 124; Pipe R. Soc. viii, 57].
