Peter Mauley, 1st Baron Mauley

Peter Mauley, 1st Baron Mauley (also Peter III Mauley ) (* 1249 ; † 1308 ) was an English nobleman and military man.

He was the eldest son of Peter II Mauley . When his father died in 1279, he inherited his extensive Yorkshire estates , including the family estate of Mulgrave Castle .

Mauley participated in the I. conquest of Wales by King Edward in part. Edward I valued his military experience, so Mauley attended a council meeting in Shrewsbury in 1283 and a council of royal commanders in Gloucester in 1286 . He continued to serve the king in the military from 1294 to 1295 in the war against France in Gascony and until 1304 in Scotland during the First Scottish War of Independence . Because of his debts of over £ 600 he was held by his creditors in Gascony in 1299, the debt was later taken over by the king. From 1295 Mauley was regularly appointed to parliament and thus elevated to Baron Mauley . In 1305 and 1307 Mauley served as royal judge, and in 1305 he was chairman of the Judicial Commission for Northern England.

He married Nichola de Gaunt († 1284), a daughter and co-heir of Sir Gilbert de Gaunt ( Ghent house , † 1274), lord of Folkingham in Lincolnshire and Healaugh in Yorkshire. His son Peter IV Mauley (1281 – around 1336) became his heir .
