Arnald de Percy

Keats-Rohan (p. 629) states: “Norman, member of the Percy family of Yorkshire, ancestor of the Percys of Kildale. He attested the foundation charter of Whitby abbey c. 1091-96. Between 1129 and 1135 he gave the church of Ormsby to Guisborough.”

The Yorkshire North Riding VCH (vol. 2, sub Kildale) states “From a very early date Kildale was the seat of that branch of the Percy family known as the Percys of Kildale. By what tie they were connected with the Northumberland Percys is unknown, but that a tie existed in indicated by the fact that they witnessed many important grants made by the latter family. The Arnald de Percy who witnessed William de Percy’s foundation charter to Whitby Abbey was probably the first ancestor of the Percys of Kildale.”
