Life events

The Bodleian Library holds a mutilated deed (c. 1280) showing some disputes between Kirkeby and Henry de Horsyndon, rector, and the parishioners of the parish of St. Mary the Greater in Wallingford. [2]

Richard of Wallingford's father died when he just turned 10 years old (c. 1301-1302) and was soon thereafter adopted by Kirkeby and taken care. [3] Kirkeby sent Richard as a young man to Oxford University to get educated.[4][5]

The Great Munden manor was received by Kirkeby when his brother John de Kirkeby, Bishop of Ely, died in 1290.[6]

Oldbury, a Stoke Mandeville manor, was owned by Kirkeby's wife (Christiana) during the reign of king Edward I.[7]

Kirkeby died in 1302.[6]
