Note: 1. Land holding mechanisms in this period included: feoffment, lease, copyhold, entail, and inheritance through heiresses. The maternal name is usually used when the inheritance is through the heiress.
2. This wording, “Thomas GYPPES alias Hogeskyne of Rockells [in Arkesden]”, tells us that the inheritance is in the name of Gyppes descendants for Rockells, and very likely a Gyppes daughter is either married to Thomas Hogeskyne or perhaps it could be his mother. Thus Thomas has to be referred to by the name in the inheritance, but the alias is telling us his real surname.
3. Thomas’s father was referred to in a previous document as “William Hogskyn of Broke Walden [in Saffron Walden], Essex, and his wife Rose, and Nicholas Hynde and his wife Joan, daughters and heirs of Agnes Bygge, telling us how nearby Broke Walden came into the family.
4. Arkesden [historically sometimes spelled Arkysden] is a village in Essex, near the Cambridgeshire border, not Cambs itself. It is a historic settlement featuring a 13th-century church, St Mary’s, which houses ancient monuments, and it historically contained the lost Domesday manor of Wiggepits and the manor of Minchins.
5. Rockells Farm, Arkesden, Saffron Walden is 4.6 miles from Broke Walden, Saffron Walden.
6. We have Thomas the grandson of Thomas GYPPES alias Hogeskyne. Thus we need a generation in the middle.
