The House of Commons history has interesting background material on Francis Keilway which throws light on his character.41 Some is worth quoting in detail:" Until about October 1553 he lived in the house of his mother-in-law, formerly Lady Weston .... . When she was widowed for the second time, Keilway and an accomplice robbed her of £500 worth of silver, for which Keilway was outlawed, search being made for him in Ireland, Flanders and Calais. In the following March he received a royal pardon. Two months later he robbed a house in Congresbury, Somerset, for which he was also eventually pardoned."
" He ruined his son through a 20-year dispute over the family estates, and had to be ordered by the Privy Council to maintain him. Having agreed to this in August 1598, he failed to pay the allowance, in spite of two letters from the Council. A third letter, in November 1600, might have done the trick:We did little expect that you or any other man of your place
would have had that slender regard of so many letters as
have been written unto you in the behalf of your son, whose
estate is so pitiful it hath moved Her Majesty to great
compassion .....,but Keilway married again, forcing his son to agree to an allowance of only £3 a week while his stepmother enjoyed what little remained of the estates, most of which had been sold in 1597 to a creditor, Anthony Ashley, for £50."
The Victoria County History of Hampshire also paints a vivid picture of the strained relationship and dealings between Francis and Thomas.42 Briefly, there was a dispute as to whether Sir William II had given Rockbourne Manor to his son Francis or to his grandson Thomas.
" This discrepancy may be accounted for by the relations between
Francis Keilway and his son, who in 1591 was imprisoned in the Fleet
' for procuring and suborning certain persons to exhibit grevyous complaintes ' against Anthony Ashley, clerk of the Privy Council, and on obtaining his release in 1592 was found to have no money to pay the prison fees. His father, with whom he had quarrelled, was ordered to provide for him as a ' gentleman pencioner,' but in 1598 Thomas being ' utterlie lame and a creeple ' complained that since his father had again cut off his allowance he was
' inforced to use very hard and base shiftes even for his foode and sustenance in such sorte as it is pitifull to make mencion.' The Privy Council took the case in hand and ordered Francis to allow his son £3 weekly. Refusing to obey, Francis for a long while ignored their letters, but finally agreed to pay his son's debts and to allow him to ' lyve in house ' with him. Francis died in 1601-2 and Thomas succeeded to Rockbourne."Further uncertainty and disputes involved the Crown (Queen Elizabeth and James I ) and Ambrose and Edward, brothers of Francis Kellaway.
Other references to this Francis include the acquisition of one third of the Manor of Ham, and the disposal of this and the Manor of Itford, both in Sussex, by him, all in 1566. 43,44The Rockbourne Registers record the burial of Francis in February 1602/1.45
His Will includes bequests to his (second) wife Francis, daughter Alis and son Thomas. He leaves money for him to be buried in the " parish Church of Rocborne ... in the South Ile ... and my Armes to be sett in the windowe ... " 46In 1602 Francis Keylway, of Rockbourne Hampshire, acknowledged his apparently substantial debts, but left some belongings to his wife Frances, his daughter Alis (Anne?), and granddaughter Christian Babbington. His sister Sybill Thorpe is mentioned, but his son Thomas was only to receive furnishings for two chambers, "at the discretion of mine executors".
(Born c. 1530 and the last of the noteable Rockborne family, Francis lost the manor. He refused to support his crippled son.)Ffrancis died in 1601-2 and Thomas succeeded to Rockbourne, but Ffrancis' skulduggery continued. Rockbourne was heavily mortgaged to Sir Anthony Ashley, but in 1608 Thomas sold it to Sir Anthony's son-in-law, Sir John Cooper! It was quickly found that Ffrancis had in 1574 settled the Manor after himself and his male heirs on his brothers Ambrose and Edward who in order to prevent a sale of the Manor had granted an interest in it to Queen Elizabeth, which was subsequently renounced as fraudulent by James 1, who granted it to Sir John Cooper.
