# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Malebysse, Richard

Richard Malebisse in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.
​MALEBYSSE, RICHARD (d. 1209), justiciar, was son of Hugh Malebysse, a Norman, who settled at Scawton, Yorkshire, in 1138, and married Emma, daughter and heiress of Henry de Percy of Acaster. Richard Malebysse held Acaster in 1176, and was forester for Yorkshire (Madox, i. 316). He was one of the leaders in the savage attack on and massacre of the Jews at York in 1190 (Will. Newburgh, i. 321, Rolls Ser.) As a punishment for his share in this outrage his lands were seized by the king. Malebysse appears to have been a supporter of Earl John, and in consequence he was one of those who were excommunicated by William de Longchamp in December 1191 (Hoveden, iii. 153). In 1193 he paid a fine of twenty marks for the recovery of his lands till the king's return, and eventually paid six hundred marks for full restoration (Madox, Hist. of Exchequer, i. 473, 483). After the accession of John, Malebysse comes into some prominence. In June 1199 he, or it may be his brother Hugh, was sent as an envoy to Scotland to William the Lion to demand homage. In July 1200 he had license to fortify Wheldrake Castle, but the permission was withdrawn at the request of the citizens of York. In May 1201 he was sent on a mission to the king of Scots to ask him to defer his answer as to Northumberland till Michaelmas (Hoveden, iv. 91, 117, 163–4). Malebysse was a justice itinerant for Yorkshire in 1201, and next year sat to acknowledge fines at Westminster. In 1204 he was employed in enforcing the payment of aids. He was keeper of the forests of Galtres, Derwent, and Wernedale. He died in 1209, leaving a son John, and a daughter Emma, who married, first, Robert de Maisnil, and, secondly, Robert de Stutevil. His grandson, Hercules Malebysse, is said to have married Beckwith, daughter of William Bruce of Pickering, and so to have become ancestor of the family of Beckwith of Silksworth and Trimdon, Durham. His brother Hugh survived him, and in 1210 took part in John's Irish expedition as one of the king's household (Sweetman, Calendar of Documents relating to Ireland, i. 65). Richard Malebysse was founder of Newbo Abbey, Lincolnshire, in 1198 (Dugdale, Monasticon, vi. 887). Such importance as he had he seems to have owed to John's favour; William of Newburgh calls him ‘homo audacissimus, vero agnomine Mala-Bestia.’

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Maldon, Thomas

​MALDON, THOMAS (d. 1404), Carmelite, was born at Maldon in Essex, and entered the Carmelite friary there. According to Leland, he became a distinguished theologian at Oxford, but Bale places him at Cambridge (Harl. MS. 3838, fol. 75), and is supported by a note in a Balliol MS. (cod. lxxx.) Maldon is said to have been an acute thinker and disputant. He died in 1404 in the convent at Maldon, of which he had once been prior, and was buried there. His epitaph is given by Weever (Funerall Monuments, p. 611).
A lecture by him on the 119th psalm is extant in the Balliol MS. already mentioned (cod. lxxx.), and apparently forms part of a work ascribed to him by Leland and Bale, ‘In quosdam psalmos, lectiones 48 in universitate Cantabrigiensi.’ Of his other writings mentioned by Leland and Bale, nothing now seems known. The titles are: 1. ‘Commentarii in Genesin.’ 2. ‘Collatio in librum sententiarum.’ 3. ‘Quæstiones ordinariæ.’ 4. ‘Actus vesperiales.’ 5. ‘Sermones 36 de tempore et de sanctis.’ 6. ‘Sermones 34 de Beata Virgine.’ 7. ‘Determinationes theologiæ.’ 8. ‘Quodlibeta.’ 9. ‘Bibliorum Introitus.’ 10. ‘Benedictio et Commendatio super fratrem Petrum Swynthwait.’ 11. ‘Benedictio et Collatio super fratrem Johannem Newton.’

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Malden, Henry

​MALDEN, HENRY (1800–1876), classical scholar, born in 1800, was the fourth son of Jonas Malden, surgeon, of Putney. He was educated privately, first at the school of the Rev. William Carmalt at Putney, and afterwards by the Rev. M. Preston at Aspenden Hall, near Buntingford, Hertfordshire, where Macaulay was a fellow-pupil (Trevelyan, Life of Macaulay, chap. i.) In October 1818 he entered Trinity College, Cambridge. He won the Craven scholarship in 1821, being bracketed with Macaulay and George Long (1800–1879) [q. v.], and was chancellor's classical medallist in 1822. He graduated B.A. 1822, M.A. 1825, and was elected fellow of Trinity in 1824. While at Cambridge he wrote for ‘Knight's Quarterly Magazine’ on Longus (No. II.) and on the later Greek philosophy (No. III.) He was also the author of a poem, ‘Evening,’ published in a volume edited by Joanna Baillie [q. v.] In 1824 he was strongly recommended for the post of rector of the Edinburgh Academy, but failed to obtain it. In 1831 he succeeded George Long as professor of Greek at University College (then the University of London), and filled this chair till his resignation in 1876. He took an active part ‘in promoting the compromise that led to the erection, in 1836, of the University of London as an examining body, and the incorporation of the Gower Street institution as University College.’ He published in 1835 (London, 8vo) an essay ‘On the Origin of Universities and Academical Degrees,’ which was written as an introduction to the report of the argument before the privy council in support of the application of the University of London for a charter empowering it to grant degrees.
In 1833 Malden was appointed, jointly with Thomas Hewitt Key [q. v.], head-master of University College school, but resigned in 1842. His death took place on 4 July 1876 at his residence in Belsize Square, South Hampstead. A Malden medal and scholarship (of the value of about 20l.), open to men and women, were established in 1878 by the subscribers to the Malden memorial fund. The medal, by M. Macphail, bears a portrait of Malden (Wroth, Engr. Personal Medals in Brit. Mus. 1887, p. 20), and there is also a portrait of him in University College, painted by Lawlor, and presented by the subscribers to the fund.
Malden was a man of a gentle and retiring disposition. His scholarship was ‘singularly elaborate and minute.’ He was a contributor to the ‘Philological Museum,’ edited by Connop Thirlwall In 1830; to the ‘Classical Museum,’ edited by Dr. Leonard Schmitz between 1843 and 1850; and to the ‘Transactions of the Philological Society.’ He also published in 1830 a ‘History of Rome to B.C. 390’ (Society for Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, 8vo).

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Malcome, John

​MALCOME, JOHN (1662?–1729), presbyterian polemic, probably a native of Scotland, was educated at Glasgow, where he graduated M.A. In December 1686 the presbyterian congregation of Killead, co. Antrim, was divided into upper and lower. Malcome was called to Lower Killead in June 1687, and ordained there on 5 Dec., hence his birth may be dated about 1662. Early in 1699 he was transferred to Dunmurry, co. Antrim, where an old malt-kiln was used as a meeting-house.
In 1703 the presbyterian clergy was divided on the question of the oath of abjuration [see McBride, John, 1651?–1718]. Malcome was strongly in favour of taking the oath, and attacked a neighbouring minister, Alexander McCracken (d. November 1730), who, ​though a staunch Hanoverian, had preached against the oath as sinful, and had retreated to Scotland to avoid it. The affair came before the general synod of Ulster in June 1704, when Malcome was rebuked and McCracken admonished.
In 1720 the non-subscription controversy broke out in Belfast in connection with the installation of Samuel Haliday [q. v.] Malcome adhered to subscription, and was the inventor of the phrase ‘new light,’ which, in a criticism of John Abernethy (1680–1740) [q. v.], he applies to the position of the non-subscribers. It is observable, however, that he does not employ it in its present received sense, as denoting a new departure in theology. His point is that ‘a set of men, by preaching and printing, pretend to give new light to the world by putting personal persuasion in the room of a church government.’
He died at Dunmurry on 17 May 1729, and was buried there on 20 May. Reid speaks of him as ‘aged’ in 1720; but he must have been under seventy at the time of his death. He published: 1. ‘Personal Persuasion no Foundation for Religious Obedience … friendly Reflections on a Sermon … by … Abernethy,’ &c., Belfast, 1720,18mo. 2. ‘More Light … Remarks on the late Vindication … By a true lover of Presbyterian Principles,’ &c. [Belfast], 1721–2, 32mo (conjectured by Reid to be Malcome's). 3. ‘The Dangerous Principles … revived … by our Modern New Lights,’ &c., Belfast, 1726, 12mo. Letters by Malcome are printed in Thomas Gowan's ‘Power of Presbyters,’ 1711, 4to, and in. ‘Remarks on a Pamphlet … by … Tisdall,’ 1716, 4to, by Joseph Boyse [q. v.]

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Malcolme, David

David Malcolm in the ODNB.
​MALCOLME, DAVID (d. 1748), philologist, was licensed as a preacher by the presbytery of Haddington on 11 Jan. 1700, was called in 1704, and ordained on 28 March 1705 to the ministry of Duddingston, near Edinburgh. He was rebuked on 10 Nov. 1721 for celebrating the marriage of George Drummond, afterwards lord provost of Edinburgh, to Catherine, daughter of Sir James Campbell of Aberuchill, Perthshire, and was deposed on 24 March 1742 for deserting his charge two years without leave. His claim on the ministers' widows' fund was disallowed. He died on 7 Feb.1748 (Scots Mag. x. 50). On 12 Aug. 1736 he was elected F.S.A. ([Gough,] Chronolog. List Soc. Antig. 1798, p. 6).
Malcolme was an accomplished philologist, especially in regard to the Celtic languages. Although not a highlander, he was so remarkably exact in the Erse etymology of place-names that, without seeing the places, he could tell their precise situation (Gough, British Topography, ii. 487 n.) In 1732 he ​proposed publishing a Gaelic dictionary, to be based on the manuscript collections of Edward Lhuyd [q. v.] (Nichols, Lit. Anecdotes, i. 166), but the design went no further than a prospectus and specimen, though it received encouragement from a committee of the general assembly in 1737. He published anonymously ‘An Essay on the Antiquities of Great Britain and Ireland,’ 8vo, Edinburgh, 1738, which he reissued in a greatly enlarged form as ‘Letters, Essays, and other Tracts, illustrating the Antiquities of Great Britain and Ireland, together with many curious discoveries of the Affinity betwixt the Language of the Americans and the ancient Britons to the Greek and Latin. … Also Specimens of the Celtic, Welsh, Irish, Saxon, and American Languages,’ 15 pts. 8vo, London, 1744.
