bullet Noted events in his life were:

• Background Information. 141 Frethesant Paynell was the daughter and heir of William Paynell. William was the son of Alexander, the youngest son of Ralph Paynel. Lands in co. York, including the manor of Hooton (Paynell), had been acquired by Ralph through his married with Maud, presumed to be daughter of Richard de Surdeval. These were passed to Jordan Paynell, their son, and after his death to Alexander. Ralph's own holding as a Domesday tenant in chief, which included Drax, co. York, Irnham, co. Lincoln, and manors in Somerset and Devon, passed to his son William, presumably by an ealier marriage, from whom was descended Maurice de Gaunt. Alexander Paynel's marriage to Agnes, daughter of Robert Fossard, brought him land in Bramham. The heirs of his son William Paynel (of the younger branch) were two daughters, Frethesant Luterel and Isabel Bastard.
