constabularie of Dover. The relationship of Nicholas de Crioll (fl. 1240–1272) to Bertram is not specified. He is not mentioned in the 1243 scutage payment, where he would be expected. By 1246 Nicholas held the manor of Croxton Kerrial in Leicestershire granted to Bertram and his heirs by King Henry in 1242. Nicholas also became Constable of Dover Castle and Keeper of the Coast. He married Joan de Auberville, daughter of William de Auberville the younger, whose grandfather William the elder was married to Matilda (Maud), one of the three daughters of Ranulf de Glanville. Nicholas witnessed the De Clare and Puntdelarche charters in company with Simon de Criol, and obtained from the king a remission of £12 owing on the estate of John de Criol when John's son Bertram inherited it in 1264. He remarried to Margery, believed to have been daughter of Simon de Cray, who survived until 1319 and remarried into the Clifford family. His son by Joan, Nicholas de Crioll, married Margaret, daughter of Galfred Pecche. References 13th-century English Navy personnel Lords Warden of the Cinque Ports 1256 deaths
