We must now pass to a distant county, to show how some at least of Bartholomew Toret's scattered possessions had accrued. - Bertram Haget, of Helagh (Yorkshire) lived in the reign of Stephen. - With Faricius, his brother, he attests the Foundation Charter of Sallay Abbey; a House which had its beginning in 1147, under the auspices of William de Percy. About the same time Bertram Haget gave a hermitage and some land in the wood of Helaghe to Gilbert, a monk of the French House of Marmontier. The object was of course to found a Monastery. Among the Witnesses of the grant were Pharice Haget and others of the Grantor's family.
Geoffrey Haget confirmed his father's grant, in a Charter which, from the names of its witnesses, passed between the years 1161 and 1184. The Church of St John de Parco (afterwards known as Helagh Park) was, at the date of this Charter, in existence, and Gilbert (the above-named Monk of Marmontier) was at its head. The deed is attested by Ralph Haget, Geoffrey's brother. Neither Geoffrey Haget nor his brother Ralph, left any issue. Geoffrey's heirs were his four sisters, Lucia, Alice, Gundred, and one unnamed, but who married Alan fitz Brian of Bedale. Grundred Haget died without issue, so that her share of her brother's estates, consisting of lands at Baynton, was divisible among her three sisters. Lucia Haget in the original partition had Wighall and Esclike. This Lucia was the wife of Peter fitz Toret, and the mother of his son Bartholomew. It is clear that the son took his name from his maternal grandfather, Bertram Haget. Alice Haget, apparently the third sister of Geoffrey, had Helagh, and married John de Friston. Her only daughter and heir, Alice, married Jordan de St Mary; and a Charter, which the said Jordan and Alice executed jointly to Helagh-Park Priory, has the attestation of Bartholomew Thuret. This Charter undoubtedly passed in or about the year 1219. [History and Genealogy of the Pearsall Family II:803]
_____________________________
It is not very clear how Wighill came into possession of the Mowbrays and FitzAlans. But Gundreda, grandaughter of William de Warren, married Nigel de Albini, of the house of Mowbray, and Gundreda, wife of Bertram Haget, founder of Healaugh Priory, was probably her daughter (Yorkshire Archaelogical Journal, iv:52). In 1185 the Knights Templars held three carucates of land in Wighill of Robert, Lord Mowbray; and about 1200 Lucia, daughter of Bertram Haget, inherited part of Wighill and Easedyke from her father. She married Turet, grandson of a Saxon lord of that name at Wroxeter, in Salop, and demised her estate to her son Bartholomew. This Bartholomew, dying without issue, his sister *Lucia Turet, succeeded to Wighill, and conveyed it by marriage to the Blancmonster, an old Cornish family, long resident in the Scilly Islands. [Lower Wharfdale p336]
*It is stated in several reliable sources that Bartholomew was succeeded by Joan who was coheir to his estate - it is likely that this Lucia Turet is the other coheir and actually Bartholomew's daughter.
The Priory (Synningthwaith Priory) was founded 6 Henry II (1160) by Bertram Haget, the founder of Healaugh Priory, and father of Ralph Haget, Abbot of Fountains, who died in 1203, and was buried in the chapter-house there. Bertram Haget gave the site of the monastery at Synningthwaith, a gift that was confirmed by Roger de Mowbray, chief lord of the fee. [Lower Wharfdale p397]

Note: p.1002 Haget, Gaufrid
"Son of Bertram I Haget and brother of Bertram II, both of whom he had succeeded by c.1165/71. Married Alice, daughter of William of Friston, by whom he had issue Geoffrey (d.v.p.), Ralph, abbot of Fountains (1170-90), Agnes wife of Alan fitz Brien of Bedale, Gundreda, Alice, wife of Jordan de St. Mary, Lucy, wife of Peter fitz Toret."
A discussion of gifts by Gundreda Haget and others to Fountains abbey, ends with the statement (re: Add. MS. 18276, f. 228d) that,
'At an earlier date Matthew de Brame had released to Geoffrey Haget all claim to the inheritance of Geoffrey Haget, uncle of the said Geoffrey.' [EYC, 1: 403, no. 520]
This infers a relationship between the two Geoffrey Hagets as uncle and nephew. Confirmation of this is found in a charter for Gundreda Haget's gift to Sinningthwaite of the advowson of the church of Bilton, Yorks., in which she refers to Bertram Haget as her father. It is therefore clear that Gundreda Haget and her siblings were children of Bertram II Haget, not of his brother Geoffrey.
Dugdale, 1817-30, 5: 464, Num. III (Sinningthwaite); EYC, 1: 403, no. 520
