  === Life Sketch ===
  Miles de Stapleton served in the Gascon and Scottish wars of Edward I and was one of the men entrusted with the education of the king's son. He was created 1st baron, Lord Stapleton, and was called to parliament. He increased his family's interests in Yorkshire considerably. His eldest son was betrothed to a daughter of the Earl of Richmond and his second son to one of the daughters of Brian Fitzalan, lord of Bedale. His first wife, Sybil or Isabel, was the daughter of John de Bellew and Laderine, sister of Peter de Brus. Carlton came into the family as part of her inheritance. Towards the end of his life Miles de Stapleton sided with Lancaster but when he was called to muster for the relief of Stirling he came to the aid of the king. He and two of his sons were killed at Bannockburn in 1314 (Foster, Pedigrees; Dictionary of National Biography; Robinson, Carlton Towers, p.10). http://catalogue.hullhistorycentre.org.uk/catalogue/U-DDCA?tab=description

  Miles Stapleton was the son of Nicholas de Stapleton III and his wife, Isabel Basset. Nicholas belonged to a Richmondshire family that took its name from the township of Stapleton, on the south bank of the Tees, about two miles south-west of Darlington, in which it possessed a small estate. The first member of the family to attain any position was Nicholas De Stapleton I, who was Custos of Middleham Castle in the reign of King John and was the father of Nicholas De Stapleton II, the father of the first-mentioned Nicholas III. Nicholas III served as a Judge of the King's Bench between 1272 and 1290, held sixteen caracates of land scattered throughout Yorkshire, besides some Berkshire lands that he obtained from his wife, and died in 1290.
  
  Miles de Stapleton was the eldest surviving son and, at his father's death, was already married to Sybil (also called Isabel), daughter and co-heiress to John De Bellew. Through her mother, Laderina, Sybil inherited a share of the possessions of the elder line of the Bruces, which were divided among four sisters and co-heiresses at the death of her uncle, Peter de Bruce of Skelton, in 1271. In memory of this connection with such a great house, Miles de Stapleton assumed the lion rampant of the Bruces as his arms. Miles served in the Gascon and Scottish Wars of King Edward I. In 1291, he was engaged on the King's business, under Roger de Mowbray, in Scotland. In 1295, he was in Gascony. In 1298, he was in the Falkirk Campaign, serving under his patron, Henry de Lacy, 3rd Earl of Lincoln. In 1300, he was summoned to the Siege of Carlaverock, but he was not mentioned in the famous French poem on the siege. In the same year, he accompanied the Earl of Lincoln on a mission to the Court of Rome, receiving, on 9th October, letters of protection for one year. Miles was entrusted by the King with the direction of the household of Edward, Prince of Wales. He served in the Siege of Stirling, in attendance on the Prince and, in October 1305, when the Earl of Lincoln wished to appoint Stapleton to manage his household during his absence at the Papal Court, the Prince informed the Earl that he had no power to give Stapleton leave to hold this post without the express command of the King. Stapleton was one of the experienced men of affairs to whom Edward I entrusted the difficult task of bringing up his son in businesslike and soldierly ways. Meanwhile, his estates and influence in Yorkshire were steadily increasing. The betrothal of his eldest son to a daughter of John of Brittany, Earl of Richmond, and a grand-niece of the King, and his second son's betrothal to one of the daughters of Brian FitzAlan, Lord of Bedale, connected him with two branches of the greatest family of his district, and increased the importance of the house. After the death of Edmund of Cornwall had led to the lapse of his vast property to the Crown, Edward I made Stapleton Seneschal of Knaresborough Castle and Steward and joint Constable of Knaresborough Forest. In 1305, he was, jointly with John de Byron, appointed one of the first judge of Trailbaston [a special type of itinerant judicial commission first created during the reign of Edward I].
  
  With Edward II's accession, Stapleton's importance was, for the moment, increased. He became Steward to the King's Household and went abroad, in January 1308, on the occasion of the King's marriage at Boulogne. In a few months, however, he lost his stewardship and was forced to surrender the Royal Manor of Brustwick in Holderness, of which he had had custody, to Piers Gaveston. In 1311, he was summoned to serve against the Scots. His losses, in the interests of the Gascon favourite, made Stapleton hostile to his old master, Edward, and attached him to Earl Thomas of Lancaster. He was, in October 1313, included, with his wife and three sons, in a long list of adherents of Lancaster who were then pardoned for the murder of Gaveston. Previous to this, however, he had received back the custody of Brustwick and, in the same year, he was thrice summoned as a Baron to Parliament. In 1314, he obeyed the summons to muster for the relief of Stirling. However, on 24th June, he was slain, along with two of his sons, at the Battle of Bannockburn.
  
  By his first wife, Sybil, Stapleton left several children. The eldest, Nicholas, born about 1286, was also summoned to Parliament and died in 1344. His son and successor, Miles, died in 1372. Miles's only son, Thomas, died in 1373, whereupon the Barony fell into abeyance and the estates of the elder branch passed to his sister Elizabeth and remained with the Metham family, her husband's kin. A younger son of Miles and Sybil, Gilbert (died 1321), became Royal Escheator beyond Trent and, by his wife, Agnes, daughter of Brian FitzAlan, Lord of Bedale, was the father of Sir Miles (died 1364) and Brian de Stapleton (died 1394). After Sybil's death, Stapleton married, as his second wife, Joan (wrongly called Cecily), daughter of Peter de Tynedale, who survived him. By her, he had a daughter named Joan.
  
  Among Stapleton's pious benefactions, the most important was the establishment of a chapel dedicated to St. Nicholas in North Moreton Church, near Wallingford, in Berkshire, where he had an outlying estate. This building, described as a "gem of decorated architecture," still survives, with the contemporary stained glass in the east window. The license to alienate lands in mortmain to endow two chaplains to celebrate divine service in the chapel is dated 28th March 1299.

  === Info about the Stapletons... ===
  The purchase of Wighill is recorded in the Fine Rolls [apparently 50 Edw
  III]. A Final Concord was made in the King's Bench at Westminster in the
  three weeks of Easter, 1376, before Robert Bealknap and other judges :-"
  Between Brian de Stapilton chivaler and Alice his wife on the one part, and
  Guido Blaumonstre clericus, on the other, by which Blaumonstre recognises
  the right of Stapilton in the manors of Wyghall and Calneton in Rydale." The
  manor of Carlton (near Helmsley) and certain lands and tenements in the vill
  of Sourby (Sowerby) near Thirsk, were accordingly released and quit-claimed
  to Sir Brian at once, and sold to John, Lord Neville of Raby, brother of
  that Sir William Neville who married Elizabeth Waleys of Helaugh, only
  reserving to the Lady Alice Stapilton a life interest by payment of one rose
  a year. But Wyghall, with 12 messuages (apparently the village), eight
  bovates and twelve acres of land (about 116 acres in all), and ten
  shilling-rents in Wyghall, Edlyngton, York, and Skelbrook, were subject to
  the life interest of Margaret wife of Gilbert Talbot, formerly widow of Sir
  John Blaumonstre, chivaler. For all which Sir Brian gave Blaumonstre a
  thousand pounds sterling,62 about £16,000 nowadays. Subsequently he paid
  Margaret Talbot and her husband 100 silver marks a year for her life
  interest, and a further sum of 200 marks for the bargain.
  
  Page 43 in the above comments on the Trivet's [1257-1334] notes about
  Bannockburn listing the dead from the battle [see Robert White's history of
  the battle, page 146 and 147, for his transcription of Trivet's lists].
  Miles Stapleton almost certainly died 24 June, since if he survived the
  battle he would have been on Trivet's separate list of prisoners taken by
  Robert Bruce, and his name is not on that list
  King Robert the Bruce found himself strong enough to invest Stirling,
  where Philip de Mowbray was shut up, and Edward called out the whole
  military force of the kingdom to meet at Berwick 11th June, 1314. Thirty
  thousand horsemen are said to have answered to the call. As they advaned
  from Falkirk they found the enemy posted in four "battles," or divisions,
  behind the little river Bannock. Bruce's standard was hoisted in the centre,
  on a rock still pointed out as the "borestone." Early in the morning a body
  of 800 horse under Sir Robert Clifford had been sent forward towards
  Stirling. They had reached Newhouse, when they were attacked by Randolph's
  foot soldiers, and forced to retire. Sir William Daynecourt was the first to
  fall. Two large stones still mark the spot. Next day [14 June] the English
  archers advanced, led by the Earl of Gloucester; but after expending their
  arrows, they were attacked in flank by a body of 500 horse under Sir Robert
  Keith, and thrown into confusion. The English cavalry galloped up to their
  assistance, but "hundreds of brilliant horsemen " were soon floundering into
  pits, which had been dug in front of the Scottish line. The Earl of
  Gloucester made a stand at the "Bloody Fold," and died fighting gallantly at
  the head of his military tenants. Edward himself escaped to Dunbar with
  about 500 knights, but the flower of the knighthood fell on the field of
  battle. Nicholas Trivet, a contemporary historian, gives a list of the
  slain. Among them were the Earl of Gloucester, John Lovel "The Red," Edmund
  de Hastynge, Milo de Stapelton, with his two sons, and many others. [cites

Nicholas belonged to a Richmondshire family that took its name from the township of Stapleton, on the south bank of the Tees, about two miles south-west of Darlington, in which it possessed a small estate.
