Origins[edit]
The first member of the family known by this name was Uchtred, Lord of Tyndale, who
married Bethoc Canmore, daughter of Donald III, King of Scots from 1093–1099.[3] His
name, the period of his life and his lands and position suggest a kinship with the Anglo
Saxon Earls of Northumbria, one of whom was Uchtred the Bold, Earl from 1006 to
1016. These Earls, in turn, were descended from the Saxon Kings of Northumbria.
Whilst the Tyndales soon adopted the use of the Norman 'de', this does not
necessarily suggest the family was Norman in the male line; the Saxon family of
Woolesley, for example, used 'de' throughout this period.[4] Nevertheless, the
Tyndales married and integrated into the Norman nobility within the earliest period of
their recorded history.
Barony of Tindale[edit]The earliest feudal records indicate that an Adam de Tindale
was the feudal Baron of South Tyne-dale and of Langeley/Langley Castle, both in the
county of Northumberland. The pipe rolls are written in Latin, which explains the use
of 'i' rather than 'y' in the name; there is no 'y' in Latin. The Barony had been held by
his father or grandfather by the service of one knight's fee, in the time of Henry I.
Considering the dates, his position and territorial designation, it is probable that this
Baron was either the son or grandson of Uchtred, Lord of Tyndale and Princess
Bethoc of Scotland. Adam was succeeded by his son, Adam, who held the Barony
during the reign of Richard I of England, paid 100 pounds for his relief, with livery of
his land, in 1194 and appears to have died in 1224.[5] He left two daughters, who
became co-heirs to the Tindale Barony and to Langley Castle. The elder, Philippa,
married Adam Nicholas de Bolteby and conveyed to her husband the Barony of South
Tyne-dale. It passed through inheritance in the female line to the family of Lucy and,
later, to the Earls of Northumberland. The Barony of Langley and its associated manor
continue to modern times as an originally feudal Prescriptive Barony (not a Peerage),
and an extensive series of baronial and manorial records are maintained in the
National Archives (UK).
