Probable. Assessed by Cursor Grok 4.7 on 2026-10-15.
The 1200 grant calls Richard the son of Gilbert de Waleton and gives Richard the vill of Waleton. The 1199 confirmation calls Henry the son of Gilbert son of Waldeve and confirms Henry the Walton serjeanty. Neither charter says the two Gilberts are one man, so Henry and Richard are not recorded as brothers.
Assessment scalar: 0.8. Editorial weight, recorded with this assessment.
Gilbert de Waleton · 1200 charter roll may be the same person as Gilbert son of Waldeve · 1199 charter roll.
Documented
- Richard de Mida's father is Gilbert de Waleton, and the grant is the vill of Waleton at fee farm. The grant does not recite Henry's serjeanty or name Waldeve.
- Henry's father is Gilbert son of Waldeve, confirmed in the Walton lands and serjeanty. The confirmation does not name Richard.
Compiled
- On p. 138 Farrer writes that Richard de Meath was the eldest son of Gilbert de Walton and brother of Henry de Walton. That sentence is Farrer's identification. It is not the wording of either charter.
Inferred
- A Gilbert associated with Walton appears in royal acts dated a year apart. The 1199 holding is bovates and a serjeanty. The 1200 holding is a fee farm of the vill. They are different tenures.
Against
- The 1199 confirmation and the 1200 grant do not call Henry and Richard brothers. Those two charters are not the 1227 inspeximus. The brother wording is assessed on that later enrollment.
