After posting, I noticed that there were a few typos, but more importantly a
number of things did not convert in the process of posting through AOL. I hope
all can still follow the gist of what I had intended.

I wondered if others also follow the conclusion that John, the brother of the
last Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk [d. 1306], was the cleric who survived, not
Sir John Bygod of Stocton [d. 1305], to whom the Earl gave Settrington.

Also, is there enough evidence to conclude:

that Sir John Bygod of Stocton and Settrington [d. 1305] was the next male heir
after the death of the Earl and the cleric John, i.e.,

the Earl was son of Hugh, the Justiciar;

Hugh's next youngest brother was Ralph Bygod [d. by 1260] of Stocton, who held
a life interest in part of Settrington;

Ralph left one known son, John Bygod, who succeeded him at Stocton, fought in
the king's service, was knighted, and died in 1305;
?
