William de Kirkeby
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
William de Kirkeby (died 1302[1]) was an English prior. He was prior at Wallingford Priory in the late 13th century. [2]
Life events[edit]
The Bodleian Library holds a mutilated deed (c. 1280) showing some disputes between Kirkeby and Henry de Horsyndon, rector, and the parishioners of the parish of St. Mary the Greater in Wallingford. [3]
The Great Munden manor was received by Kirkeby when his brother John de Kirkeby, Bishop of Ely, died in 1290.[1] Oldbury, a Stoke Mandeville manor, was owned by Kirkeby's wife (Christiana) during the reign of king Edward I.[4]
Richard of Wallingford's father died when he just turned 10 years old (c. 1301-1302) and was soon thereafter adopted by Kirkeby and taken care. [5] Kirkeby sent Richard as a young man to Oxford University to get educated.[6][7]
Kirkeby died in 1302.[1]
