The barony was formed from lands formerly controlled in the 12th century by the feudal barons of Burgh-by-Sands (pronounced "Bruff") in Cumberland,[1] namely the families successively of de Trevers, Engaine, de Morville and de Lucy.[2]
VipontEdit
Arms of Vipont: Gules, six annulets or. Adopted at the start of the age of heraldry (circa 1200–1215). These arms were later quartered by the Clifford family[3]
Robert de Vipont (1233/4-1264), who died from wounds received at the Battle of Lewes (1264) fighting on the side of Simon de Montfort. Following the defeat of de Montfort at the Battle of Evesham in 1265 and the return of King Henry III to power, Robert II's estate was seized by the Crown, but was later returned as part of a settlement with the reform leaders. He died leaving no sons, but with two daughters as co-heiresses, Isabel and Idoine (alias Idonea).
Idoine de Vipont (died 1333), co-heiress to her father, who married twice but left no children. Firstly to Roger de Leyburne (died 1284) and secondly to John de Cromwell (died 1335). In 1308 she granted her moiety of the barony of Appleby to her nephew Robert de Clifford, 1st Baron de Clifford,[10] who thenceforth held the barony entire.
Following the acquisition of the whole of the feudal barony of Appleby by Robert de Clifford, 1st Baron de Clifford (1274–1314), it descended thenceforth in the Clifford family, together with the feudal barony of Skipton and the barony by writ of de Clifford.
