whole of Ewecross wapentake, the later lordship of Burton in Lonsdale, and
of the later barony of Kendal along with the south-western portion of

Family," by Emily A. Buckland (Worcester: Phillips & Probert, Ltd.,
1932-33), p. 38, gives a chart "compiled Nov. 1932 by Alfred Ransford"
which "shews the ancestors of that historical person Ivo le-Tailibois, (who
figures as the principal character in Charles Kingsley's famous novel,
`Hereward the Wake.')" - Ivo is said to have died in 1093 and his wife is
Lucy (died 1138, "dau. of Thorold, Sheriff of Lincoln"; her 3rd husband is
Ranulph, Earl of Chester, who died in 1129; here Ivo's father is given as
Reinfrid, soldier and first prior of Whitby Abbey (b. ca. 1020, d. ca.
1083, bur. at Hackness, Yorkshire, son of Reinfrid Talibois of Normandy).}
He was employed in the siege of Ely in 1071, and took part in
the settlement of the liberties of Ely circa 1080. He was Sheriff of
co. Lincoln in or before 1086, and had the custody of the lands of the

the King gave him the lordship of Kendal. He attested numerous charters
on both sides of the Channel. The family is Angevin.
