  • Notes 
    • From Early Yorkshire Charters: Volume 12, The Tison Fee, citation details below:

      It has been supposed that Richard Tison was given the lordship of Shilbottle by Gilbert Tison when lord of Alnwick, and that he was a younger son of Gilbert. There is, however, no documentary evidence that Gilbert Tison ever held Alnwick, or that he was Richard's father. Indeed, an original charter of Gilbert Tison, making gifts to Selby abbey of land and tithe in the East Riding of Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire, was witnessed by Adam his son, and also by Richard Tison without any relationship specified. From this it can be deduced that Richard was not a legitimate son of Gilbert, though doubtless of the same family. [...]

      There is no reason to doubt the statement in the Alnwick chronicle that Richard Tison was the founder of the chapel of the nuns of Guyzance (Gysyns), though the date given as c. 1000 is impossible. This refers to a Premonstratensian nunnery which did not survive the middle ages. Richard Tison's name is entered in the Liber Vite of the church of Durham; and he died before 1166.
