1215. Manchester-Runnymede
Robert
de Gresley,
Baron of Manchester was one of the peers who demanded Magna Charta from
King John, at Runnymede, June 12. When the barons again
rose in arms Gresley incurred the anger of the King, who committed his castle to
Adam de Yeland, probably as sheriff and afterwards granted Greslet's
lands to William Maresma the younger and Hugh de Vivian. These
orders were never executed, and John’s death in 1216 left Greslet undisturbed.
