THWENG

Observations.-The first member of the family of whom there is documentary evidence is 
a certain Robert, son of Robert, who held a knight's fee of William de Percy in Legsby 
and elsewhere in co. Lincoln in 1166; and it is clear that, being also known by the 
name of Thweng, he had a connexion with Thwing in East Riding Yorks. It has been 
suggested that, although no carta of Adam de Brus for the Brus fee in Yorkshire has 
survived, Robert, son of Robert de Thweng, held half a knight's fee of him in Thwing 
in 1166. It has also been suggested that the family originated in co. Durham, being 
related to the FitzMarmadukes, lords of Horden.

ROBERT DE THWENG, styled ROBERT FITZROBERT, held a knight's fee of the old 
feoffinent of William de Percy in 1166. As Robert, son of Robert, with the assent of 
Emma his wife, he gave the vill of Legsby, co. Lincoln, to Sixhills priory, and also, as 
Robert, son of Robert de Tegneg, the church of the vill. He married Emma, who can 
be identified as one of the 3 sisters and coheirs of Duncan DAREL, of Lund, East 
Riding Yorks (f). He was living in 1172 (g). [Complete Peerage XII/1:735, (transcribed 
by Dave Utzinger)]

(f) In 1203 the 3 sisters of Duncan, named as Emma de Lund, Muriel Dairel, and 
Helewise de Arel, occur in cases relating to his land in Deighton and to the dower of 
his widow in Lund; and in the same year Marmaduke de Tueng' was defendant against 
the widow for a third of 4 carucates in Lund. This conforms with the pedigree put 
forward in a case of 1309 relating to Lund, when it was stated that from Emma, one of 
the 3 sisters of Duncan Darel, her interest in Lund descended to her son Marmaduke, 
the ancestor of the then Marmaduke de Thweng.

(g) When he witnessed a charter to Rievaulx abbey dated in that year.
