Sir Nicholas het gedurende die regeringstyd van Koning
Edward I (r.1272-1307) en Koning Edward II (r.1307-1327) geleef. In die eerste dekades van die 14de eeu het
Yorkshire onder ‘n reeks swak oeste, vee siektes en die plundering van die
Skotse leer gely. Koning Edward I is op
Carlisle, tydens ‘n veldtog na Skotland, op 7 Julie 1307 dood. Koning Edward II, sy seun, het vanaf 1307
regeer. Edward II het homself met
gunstelinge omring en die baronne het ontevrede geraak en gerebelleer. Hulle het probeer het om sy mag te beperk met
die wette van 1311. (The official
website of the British Monarchy) “From 1311, the Northern counties were
greatly harassed by Scottish incursions, wars, and plagues. (midgleywebpages.com/knights) Koning Edward II se inval van Skotland van
1314 om opstand te onderdruk, het tot die nederlaag by Bannockburn gelei. (Royal
family history) Hierdie inval, tesame
met groot hoeveelhede skuld het vir Edward II baie ongewild gemaak. (The official website of the British Monarchy) In die jare 1315-1322 het hongersnood uitgebreek. (Lambert, Tim: A brief history of Yorkshire England. http://www.localhistories.org/yorkshire.html) All the
immediate neighbourhood from Skipton to Bradford was ransacked in 1316 by bands
of red-shanked robbers from Scotland, who not content with robbing and
murdering the inhabitants, maliciously burnt what they could not carry away. In that year a soldier had to be provided by
each township to join the army against Scotland, but the failure at Bannockburn
was but the beginning of distress. Repeated depredations were followed by a
great famine, when children were kidnapped and eaten." (midgleywebpages.com/knights)

van die 1326 ordonansie (a protectionist
measure which set up compulsory markets or staples in English, Welsh and Irish
towns for the wool trade) kon lei tot ‘n kompromie tussen die koning en die
adelikes nie. (The official website of

Verskeie lords het markte en fairs in die dertiende en vroeë
veertiende eeue begin, in ‘n tyd toe die
bevolking uitgebrei het en kommersiële geleenthede belowend was. (Hey, David:
A History of Penistone and District. Barnsley. 2002) Fairs where
the local farmers could sell livestock, crops and wares. Die
mark was 'n plek waar goedere gekoop en verkoop is, maar dit was ook 'n forum
vir die uitruil van nuus, menings en skindernuus, and a place where condemned
fornicators might be required to do public penance. (Cooper,

Na Sir Nicholas Wortley se dood is Sibilla met Sir Hardolf Wastneys
getroud.
The name of Wasteneys,
or Gasteneys, is found among the list of Normans of distinction, who came over
with the Conqueror. The first record of
this name is Sir Philip de Gaslencys, who married Amphelis, daughter and
coheiress of Robert, son of Hardulph, by Diva, daughter and heir of Robert, son
of Walter de Morley. In 1166 William de Wasteneys is stated to hold two knights
fees, and Galfridus, or Jeffrey, one and a half knights fees, in the barony of
Stafford. This William was son of Sir Philip, and it is probable that Jeffrey
was his younger brother, and that the elder held lands in Colton, and the
younger in Tixall. (Rotherham.co.uk) The
first we find mentioned in the pedigree is Sir Hardulf Gasteneys, Knt, who had
two wives, first Ravenilda and second Bertreia.
Sir Robert Gasteneys, Knt, his son was father of Sir Philip, who by
Amphelis daughter and coheir of Sir Robert Morley, knt had issue, Sir William,
fater of Sir William who had two sons, both Williams and both knights; of the
youngest sir William the immediate ancestor of this family. Sir Hardolph de
Wastneis, Knt, his eldest son , had a writ directed to him, 9 Edw. III
enjoining him among others to come in person of the west riding of Yorkshire. He had two wives, first, the daughter of
Lexbourne, second, Sibill, but leaving no issue by either of them. (Collins,
