(I)WALTER DE BOYNTON, (Bovington) [1182–1206][1] between 1182 and 1197, bought of Riches de Arnallia, two bovates of land in Arnallia (now Amold), which he gave to Meaux Abbey, Walter's brother William confirmed the gift.[2] Walter was party to a fine about land in Burnby in 1201.[3] In 1206 he was a justice itinerant, and held property in Yorkshire, and was one of the indententes named by the King to Robert de Stuteville, Sheriff of Yorkshire.[4] He gave a bovate of land in Bempton to Bridlington Priory,[5] and with William, his son, exchanged seven bovates of land and two tofts in Willardby with the Prior and Convent of Bridlington for six bovates in Bovington.[6]

Walter married and had two sons and possibly a third, namely:—

  1. William (II).
  2. Rabod or Rabot, to whom his father, with the assent of William, his son and heir, granted land in Rotsea.[7]
