• Notes

  "It is stated that German Tison left an only daughter and heir Bona who married William de Hilton, a baron of the bishopric of Durham, and brought to him not only Shilbottle but Rennington and Broxfield, par. Embleton. There seems no doubt that this statement is correct, although the only authority given for the marriage is the Alnwick chronicle, and no record evidence for Bona has been found. William de Hilton died before 20 April 1208, when the king confirmed a grant made by the bishop of Durham to Henry de Farlington and Agnes his wife of the custody of the land held by William de Hilton and of Alexander his heir with remainder, should Alexander die under age, to German the latter's brother. The fact that William had a son named German supports the statement that William's wife was the daughter of German Tison; and it is certain that the lands of German Tison were inherited by the Hilton family, for in 1242-43 Robert de Hilton, son of Alexander, held Shilbottle, Newton on the Moor, Hazon, Guyzance and Rennington of the Vescy barony for 2 fees of the old feoffment--the same tenure as the holding of William Tison of William de Vescy in 1166. It is evident that Agnes de Hilton, if that was her maiden name, must have been a second wife of German Tison, for otherwise Bona and William de Hilton might have been related in a prohibited degree."
