Katherine ¹

  Research Notes:

Katherine widow of Alan de Singleton was in 1292 the wife of Thomas de Clifton, and claimed dower in lands in Broughton. One parcel had been granted to Master Robert de Singleton by William the father of Alan, and Alan had added some land in Whittingham; it was ordered that Master Robert should hold his land in peace, while Katherine should have an equivalent from the lands of Thomas the son of Alan; Assize R. 408, m. 23. A similar decision in her favour was given as to land held by Thomas son of Thomas de Singleton; ibid. In two other claims also Thomas the son and heir of Alan warranted the defendants\emdash Nicholas son of Alan de Singleton and William de Singleton\emdash and rendered dower to Katherine from his own land; ibid. m. 31 d. At the same time William de Earlsgate was non-suited in claims against Thomas de Clifton and Katherine his wife, and against Nicholas son of Alan de Singleton; ibid. m. 76. This Nicholas again appears in 1295; De Banco R. 109, m. 70. ¹
