Hugh de Morville of Burgh

Hugh de Morville (died 1202) Baron of Burgh, Lord of Kirkoswald, was an English noble.

He was the only son of Simon de Morville and Ada d’Engaine. He succeeded to his father’s estates and later his mother’s more significant inheritance. Hugh was granted a licence in 1201, by King John of England to crenellate his manor house at Kirkoswald in 1201. He died in 1202 and his wife Helewise remarried William de Greystoke. He is sometimes confused with a kinsman, Hugh de Morville, Constable of Scotland, whose parentage is unclear. He maintained familial ties with English, Scottish and Welsh cousins as a way to maintain peace and prosperity. His strategically located castle at Kirkoswald was destroyed by Scotland in 1314 and rebuilt shortly thereafter.
