BECKWITH
The
Beckwiths derived their name from Lady Dame Beckwith Bruce, daughter of
Sir William Bruce, Lord of Uglebarby, which Lordship and Lands he had
inherited from his ancestor, Sir Robert Bruce of Skelton Castle, the
progenitor of the Royal Bruces of Scotland.
Lady
Beckwith Bruce possessed by inheritance an estate or manor of land
called Beckwith in the old Anglo-Saxon Beckworth from "Beck" a brook
and "Worth" an estate. With a view evidently to the prepution of the
name she required her husband Sir Hercules de Malebisse by a marriage
contract dated 1226 to assume the name Beckwith. Sir Hercules was the
great-grandson of Sir Hugo de Malebisse c.l066 who held lands in the
time of William the Conqueror. Sir Hugo had three sons, the youngest
also Hugo c.1138 married Emma daughter of William de Percy, a Norman
Baron. Their fourth son, Sir Simon de Malebisse, Lord of Citon, in
Craven, married the daughter of John Lord de Menthly. Their son Sir
Hercules married in 1266 Lady Dame Beckwith Bruce.
