Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eustace_de_Balliol
Eustace de Balliol (or Eustace de Helicourt) (died c. 1209) was the cousin and 
successor of Bernard II de Balliol, lord of Balliol and Barnard Castle. He was the lord 
of Hélicourt in Picardy, an estate near the chief seat of the main Balliol line at 
Bailleul-en-Vimeu; after his cousin died childless, in 1190 Eustace de Helicourt took 
over those estates and remarried.[1] In 1189–95 he quitclaimed the manor of Long 
Newton, Durham to Hugh du Puiset, Bishop of Durham, as well as all the land that 
Bernard de Balliol held in the vill of Newhouse. In 1199–1200, as heir of Bernard de 
Balliol, he rendered account of 60 marks for his scutage, of which he had paid 10 
marks; he also owed £120 for the second and third scutages of King Richard I, which 
was remitted by brief of King John. Sometime in the period, 1199–1205, he confirmed 
to St. Mary’s, York the advowsons of the churches of Gainford and Stainton, Durham 
and Stokesley, Yorkshire and their tithes which Guy de Balliol previously granted 
them. In 1200 he and his son, Hugh, quitclaimed by fine to Robert, Abbot of York the 
advowsons of the church of Gainford, Durham, and the chapels of Barnard Castle, 
Middleton, Denton, Houghton-le-Side, and Snow Hall (in Gainford), Durham.

He and his unknown first wife had four known sons, all of whom appeared in the 
Durham Liber Vitae: Hugh, Enguerrand (Ingram or Ingelram), Bernard, and Henry; his 
eldest son Hugh succeeded him, while his younger sons Enguerrand and Henry gained 
the patronage of the Scottish kings and founded Scottish cadet branches based at 
Inverkeilor (Enguerrand) and at Cavers (Henry).[1] Eustace's son Hugh had 
succeeded him by around 1209.[1]
