MAULAY

The first of this name we can trace is Peter de Mauley, a Poictevin, Baron of Mulegrave, and Lord of Doncaster, in Yorkshire. He appears to have been an adherent of King John, and to have acquired his English estates in marriage with Isabel, daughter and heir of Robert de Thurnham, whose wife was Joanua Fossard, heiress of Mulqrave, a descendant, probably, of the Domesday Nigel. Camden says, that "by marriage Peter de Mauley came to a great inheritance at Mulgrave, and that the estate was enjoyed by seven Peters, Lords de Malo-lacu, successively, who bore for arms "or, a bend sa." But the seventh, who had summons to parliament from 22 Richard II. to 3 Henry V., dying s.p., his possessions were divided between Sir John Bigot, Knt., and George Salvaine, of Duffield, who had married his sisters. The manor of Mulgrave is now the property of the Marquis of Normanby.
