[45] JOHN DE BOVINGTON, [1323-1326], son of Sir Robert de Bovington, entered into the inheritance of his father at Hunmanby in chief, and entered therein without licence, but the King granted him this by fine of 40s.

Walter de Boynton, his brother, aged 34 years and more is his next heir.

In the East Riding he held (Inq. p. m. 27th Feb., 1 Ed. III.)
