PREFACE 
 
 T N issuing the first section of this work, the Author feels 
 -*- that it is necessary to give some explanation to those 
 who are looking for a County History written in the usual 
 manner. To the student of history and genealogy no apology 
 is necessary for somewhat departing from it, because the 
 contents of this portion will be to him of far greater value 
 than the most elaborately worked-out account of any single 
 parish. There are, of course, many chances to one that any 
 particular portion of the work pourtrayed will not be of great 
 importance to a general student ; but everyone interested in 
 the County History of Derbyshire, or of the neighbouring 
 counties, will here find something to aid him in his research. 
 If it seem dry to one set of readers, it will be of the deepest 
 interest to another. 
 
 No doubt Derbyshire Antiquarians ought to have published 
 this matter in another shape. Major-General the Honble. G. 
 Wrottesley, through the William Salt Society, has done this 
 work admirably for Staffordshire ; and whoever undertakes to 
 write the History for that County, will find it ready to his 
 hand. But no such aid exists for a writer, or for his readers, 
 as regards this County ; while it is absolutely essential to 
 the right understanding of an account of the devolution of 
 
viii PREFACE. 
 
 estates, and the true history of families, to be able to turn 
 to a record of this kind ; to test, explain, and account for 
 the peculiarities and various accidents of the descent of land. 
 
 Derbyshire is fortunate in having had Domesday carefully 
 and ably edited by Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt ; and the Author 
 had some thought of proceeding, without again printing it. 
 But, for anyone desirous of ascertaining the correctness of 
 the views stated in the work, it is absolutely necessary to 
 have Domesday at hand to refer to ; and very possibly it 
 would be difficult for most readers to gain access to it, and 
 many would, therefore, be glad to have a copy of it for 
 reference. He has therefore contented himself with giving a 
 translation, and a slight analysis of its contents, with a few 
 lists of first importance — the names of Manors of Ancient 
 Demesne of the Crown ; and of all those Manors and 
 Berewics which are recorded in Domesday. Scholars who 
 require to see the account in its original Latin, must have 
 recourse to Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt's work, or to Domesday 
 itself 
 
 The Author has given an account of the direct objects of 
 the extracts from the Pipe Rolls in Chapter II., at page 85, 
 but perhaps he has not sufficiently stated his motive for 
 printing them. The next Section (No. II.) will be chiefly 
 occupied with a series of most valuable Records, which illu.s- 
 trate, and should be read in connection with, Domesday. They 
 are extracts from the " Red Book," the " Testa de Nevil," 
 the " Book of Aids," and " Kirkby's Quest ; " with lists of 
 tenants of Manors from the earliest period to latest procurable, 
 most of which are undated ; and it is only by collating them 
 with the Pipe Rolls, here published for this express purpose, 
 that their lise and proper value can be ascertained. The 
 Pipe Rolls not only supply the chronology which gives life and 
 spirit to those dry bones, but give the explanation, in a large 
 number of cases, of those puzzling facts of County History 
 
PREFACE. ix 
 
 which have produced, for Derbyshire readers, so much unhappy- 
 guesswork, and too frequently such deplorable blundering. 
 Derbyshire Historians have used the records, or some of 
 them, which will be given in Section II., but without the 
 aid of the Pipe Rolls, and hence their work has been laid 
 upon a false basis, and without any true chronology. It is 
 to avoid a repetition of their mistakes, to point them out, 
 and to correct them, that these records are here printed. 
 They will serve, not only to correct former writers, but also 
 the Author ; and they give to the reader engaged in this 
 research the opportunity of doing so for himself 
 
 The great object to be attained in a work of this kind 
 is the Truth. To give honour where honour is due, although, 
 in the process, it may be necessary to strip those, who 
 wear them, of their borrowed plumes. This will be done 
 in no carping or malicious spirit, but in one of justice to all. 
 No one has a right to arrogate for himself, or his family, 
 honours which do not rightly belong to them ; and it is 
 difficult to conceive how any honourable man, any right- 
 minded person, can object to this course. Far better is -it that 
 the truth should be known, and the real history of a family 
 be given ; than that any stock, however great and distinguished 
 it may now be, should usurp the place of the descendants 
 of another, and perhaps a greater family. Perchance, some, 
 in their anxiety to boast of a Norman descent, end by 
 discarding one that is higher, and more important to English- 
 men because it is their own. They who have studied 
 minutely the history of the tenth and eleventh centuries, 
 are aware that many families of the best blood, both of 
 Norman, Breton, and English families, are to be found settled 
 in England, in which — according to the crude theories of 
 our modern historians — only a people they miscall the 
 Anglo - Saxons, lived prior to the Conquest, and even 
 this nation they pretend to think was swept away. It is 
 
X PREFACE. 
 
 generally admitted that amongst the first Norman invaders, 
 and chief amongst them are to be found, far too often, 
 the veriest scum of the earth — the refuse ot the various 
 nations of the continent. Younger sons of good families 
 came over twenty years later, when the Conquest of England 
 was assured. Ordericus, who lived a generation later, has 
 made himself merry with the ridiculous affectation of some 
 of these Norman lords, who, by virtue of their new pos- 
 sessions, pretended an equality in ranl< with the men whose 
 property they had usurped, and whose places they now filled. 
 Amongst the very men who incurred his just censure are 
 some who settled in this County, whom our ignorant, and too 
 often complaisant heralds have appropriated as the parent 
 stock of some of our greatest families ; whilst others of the 
 names amongst them, however proudly worn now, betray, 
 in their etymology, the base origin of those who bore 
 them. But, even supposing that every adventurer, who, 
 with the hope of plunder, joined the ancient nobility of 
 Brittany and Normandy in their efforts to recover for the 
 Duke of Normandy his disputed inheritance, was of the 
 highest rank ; only a very poor and mean creature would 
 ignore his own ancestors in order to attach himself im- 
 properly to the skirts of greater men, whose retainer h6 
 might be, although nothing akin in blood. What a paltry 
 feeling it is, alas not yet wholly extinct, to be ashamed of 
 one's own forefathers ! Even if their position was humble, 
 they might be far more noble in mind and well-deserving 
 than the greedy courtiers or dissolute noblemen whose names 
 are now so highly coveted. 
 
 I venture to assert, that there are numbers of true descen- 
 dants of the ancient Thanes of England still living in 
 Derbyshire. Many are unnoticed in Domesday because 
 they kept away during this troublous period, but they or 
 their descendants would return eventually, as we find from 
 
PREFACE. xi 
 
 the records of the Law Courts ; and some of the greatest 
 names in England are recorded as Derbyshire landowners 
 at page 72. Twenty lesser Thanes, who remained after the 
 Conquest, holding direct of the King, are enumerated at 
 page 79. Whilst numbers of them appear in Domesday, 
 and the Pipe Rolls, as holding in subjection to the Norman 
 lords. It should be a source of legitimate pride to any one 
 to trace his descent from these Englishmen. With care and 
 patience, it may be shown that a large proportion of the 
 people of Derbyshire are of the primitive native race, not 
 Anglo-Saxons, for, as modern historians contend, that name 
 does not combine two peoples, but is an absurd jumble, the 
 concoction of Archbishop Parker, combining the native with 
 the foreign name of the same people. Besides that, it is 
 far too vague and general to give any indication of the true 
 nationality of the race. 
 
 The attempt of the author to give an historical account 
 of the natives of this county will be reserved' to the com- 
 pletion of the work ; when a sounder conclusion may be 
 hoped for than at present. For it is not only from the 
 etymology of the names of persons, of places, and 01 
 things, that a correct view can be obtained, but most 
 especially from a complete survey of the primitive customs 
 of the people ; which can only be gleaned by a patient 
 winnowing of the whole facts which have been handed 
 down to us by tradition ; from traces to be discovered and 
 gathered from many an ancient charter and local custom, more 
 pregnant with fact than even place-names, and frequently 
 giving more precise and definite details. A County history 
 based on these lines, if properly written, may be a valuable 
 contribution to national history, and possess a more than 
 local interest ; for it seldom happens that the customs and 
 details brought to light were in use only in the locality in 
 which they were discovered. More frequently they are but 
 
xii PREFACE. 
 
 a type of what existed all over the land ; and the historian 
 of the future who shall give us a true conception of English 
 History, will gladly avail himself of the facts to be derived 
 from the traditions of a single village. Historians ought 
 not to draw upon their imagination for their facts, or at 
 best give a gloss upon the prejudices and preconceived 
 ideas of their fore-runners. History must be patiently built 
 up from facts, such as those of which our original records 
 give evidence, if not in their entirety and fullness, at least 
 in their germ and inception. 
 
 In order to trace the descent of the families knightly and 
 yeoman of the county properly, one must proceed by 
 steps, taking Domesday as the foundation, and then, by 
 the aid of the Records which will appear in Section II., 
 enlightened and explained by extracts from the Pipe Rolls, 
 gradually deduce the history of the Manor and of the 
 family. It is a work of great labour and difiSculty, but 
 it possesses intense interest to one versed in these studies ; 
 and that it is worthy of the effort to accomplish it, every 
 candid mind will readily acknowledge. 
 
 In his endeavours to do this, the author has been much 
 cheered by the aid and encouragement which has been 
 already accorded to him. He had been advised (even by 
 his publishers) to wait till he was secured from loss by a 
 sufficient subscription list ; but the fate of abler men than 
 himself, who have taken this course, has warned him of its 
 dangers ; and he prefers the bolder, and, he hopes, not 
 less safe course of doing something towards the completion 
 of the work; trusting that, as he proceeds, many who possess 
 records of the past will give the public the benefit of 
 them, and a full measure of support to the author. 
 
 He has now thankfully to acknowledge the assistance of 
 Sir George Reresby Sitwell, Bart, M.P., to whom he is 
 indebted for much valuable genealogical information, as 
 
PREFACE. xiii 
 
 well as for access to his private Records. When well in the 
 saddle in his own work, he found that, apart from him, but 
 upon much the same lines, Sir George Sitwell was collecting 
 materials for a History of the Hundred of Scarsdale, which 
 is practically that of the whole County, since it contains, 
 amongst its proprietors, nearly all, if not all, of the great 
 families, and consequently nearly all their retainers, and the bulk 
 of the progenitors of the present yeoman families of the County. 
 
 Until informed of this, the Author was unaware that any- 
 one else had any thought of producing a work upon this 
 County ; although he has since learnt, indeed since the bulk 
 of this Preface was in type, that another Derbyshire Historian, 
 of well-merited reputation, has only deferred for a time the 
 realization of the publication of a County History, which he 
 fully announced many years since, and which, it is very greatly 
 to be hoped, he will eventually accomplish. It is only right 
 to notice this latter fact, since the Author has unwittingly 
 proclaimed that he was the only worker now in this field 
 of literature. 
 
 Sir George Sitwell met the Author in the most generous 
 manner, and, rather than allow his projected work to interfere 
 with this, he proposed to unite in editing the Hundred of 
 Scarsdale. The Author's collection of facts is chiefly drawn 
 from the Public Records, together with a mine of wealth, 
 never before explored, drawn from Repositories abroad, and 
 from the Muniment rooms of many private persons, to some 
 of which no historian has hitherto had access ; whilst the 
 main part of Sir George Sitwell's facts are derived from 
 Court Rolls and Charters deposited in his own Muniment 
 room, and those of other great landowners, the common 
 ground between them being the great collections of previous 
 writers which are deposited in the British Museum, and other 
 public repositories, open to be drawn upon alike for the 
 benefit of all. 
 
xiv PREFACE. 
 
 Comparing the result of their separate labours, it was found 
 that each had especially devoted his labours to particular 
 portions of the County ; and although on many points in 
 agreement, in certain others of the unsolved problems of 
 Derbyshire History, a certain diversity of views existed. As 
 it would be fair to neither to publish only one view of the 
 case, when both might perhaps contain something of the 
 truth, it has been arranged that whenever a divergence of 
 views exists, each editor shall publish his own version ; and 
 so that no confusion shall arise, each will initial his separate 
 work relating to that part where the other has undertaken 
 to write the account, and so preserve his own individuality, 
 whilst protecting himself from responsibilitj' for ideas he 
 does not countenance. And to those who know the manifold 
 difficulties surrounding some of the abstruse problems of 
 County History, this plan will have a great advantage, since 
 it will afford a test to apply in the solution of any im- 
 perfectly worked out idea, and at all events show the 
 authority for the view presented. 
 
 For the present section, Sir George Sitwell has incurred 
 no responsibility ; nor will he commence his portion of the 
 responsibility for the Hundred of Scarsdale until, in their 
 order, those Parishes upon which he has laboured will appear. 
 Sir George Sitwell will write the accounts of Eckington, 
 Barlborough, Killamarsh, Beighton, Ashover, Pleslie, Brampton, 
 and of many other places ; any special portions for 
 which he will not be responsible will be initialed by the 
 Author. 
 
 The Author will be solely responsible, amongst other places, 
 for the account of Alfreton and Norton, Beauchief, Dronfield, 
 Hardwick, Hucknal, Steynesby, Brimington, Whittington, Wal- 
 ton, and Chesterfield, for which places he has a very valuable 
 collection of records, the collection of which, indeed, first 
 inspired the idea of writing a History of this County. 
 
PREFACE. XV 
 
 The History of the early Lords of Alfreton has for many 
 years been a favourite study, and in his " History of the 
 House of Arundel," and other works, the Author has con- 
 tributed many facts concerning them, not only with regard 
 to the history of Roger de Busli, the superior Lord of the 
 time of Domesday, but of that of his great tenant Ingelram, 
 whose Barony is now in abeyance between the family of the 
 Earl of Derby, representing the co-heir, who married Robert 
 de Lathom, and that of de Cadurcis, or Chaworth. 
 
 This pedigree of Ingelram of Alfreton is a remarkable 
 instance in proof of the superficial manner in which the 
 History of this County has been treated, and of the want 
 for one properly considered. Many Derbyshire and Notting- 
 ham historians have necessarily referred to Ingelram and his 
 descendants, since they held a leading position in the County 
 for at least a century after the Conquest, three, if not four, 
 of them being sheriffs in succession. Derbyshire owes to the 
 ■piety of his grandson her most beautiful and once most 
 powerful Abbey — Beauchief — founded in honour of the great 
 St. Thomas a Becket, and even this has caused no enquiry 
 into their history. Indeed, many writers have confounded 
 this lord with the son of one of the greatest miscreants of 
 the period, with Robert fitz Ranulf de Broc, who, with his 
 father, was the chief instigator of the foul murder of the 
 Archbishop, a view which was oddly enough countenanced 
 by that eminent scholar, the late Dean Stanley, who, with 
 his family, have now the Singular honour to represent this 
 same Ingelram of Alfreton. 
 
 It is dangerous to make a positive statement, considering 
 the still very unsatisfactory condition of the history of the 
 families of Roger de Busli and of the Earls of Ewe. The 
 doubts concerning both have rather been increased than 
 allayed, by the recent interesting and suggestive sketch 
 of that very learned but too positive writer, Mr. Chester 
 
xvi PREFACE. 
 
 Waters, but it may be positively asserted that Ingelram was 
 a cadet of one, and more probably of both of them, for 
 Roger de Busli most probably was himself a scion of the 
 House of Ewe, his feudal lords. His only daughter and 
 eventual heiress married the eldest son of the Earl, who 
 succeeded to the title, and Ingelram was the name of their 
 younger son, who was known to be in England in IIIO, 
 but whose subsequent history is lost. 
 
 Henry I. robbed both the families of their inheritance, 
 and therefore it was probably as some kind of compensation 
 that to Ingelram of Alfreton, whatever was his exact rela- 
 tionship to the Earl, was given the high office — the here- 
 ditary sheriffdom of these counties — quite out of proportion 
 to his territorial position within them. 
 
 To those who know the difficulties of writing a satisfactory 
 history of a county in these days, when a multitude of 
 records are open to the historian, which in former times 
 were either neglected, misunderstood, or unknown, the divi- 
 sion of the labour will appear quite natural, and very 
 beneficial. 
 
 And so grateful was the Author for the proposed help 
 of Sir George Sitwell, that he applied to Mr. Cecil J. S. 
 Foljambe, M.P., who has for many years studied the History 
 of the High Peak, and who has already supplied much very 
 valuable information relating to that district, to join him in 
 co-editing it, to which appeal he has most kindly responded, 
 and the Author has also great hopes of obtaining similar 
 aid, although he is not yet in a position to announce 
 particulars, for other Hundreds of the County ; indeed, the 
 proportions of much of the future portions of the work will 
 depend upon the reception accorded to the Hundreds of 
 Scarsdale and High Peak. 
 
 In order properly to write the history of the County, 
 research must be made, and has been made, into the history 
 
PREFACE. xvii 
 
 of many others, and not only must the records of this country 
 be carefully examined, but the treasures of many local reposi- 
 tories in Normandy, especially in the Cotentin (the cradle 
 of so many English families), and also in Brittany, whilst 
 all the public libraries of France, especially of Paris and 
 Rouen, of Austria and parts of Germany, of Italy and of 
 Rome, must be, and have been, consulted ; and as fresh light 
 is being continually obtained from most unexpected sources, 
 recourse must be had to these again and again if the work 
 is to be properly carried out, and this cannot be done 
 without a considerable expenditure of time and money. If 
 the first portion of this work meets with a 'favourable recep- 
 tion, it will resolutely and honestly be carried out to the 
 end, and of failure of this support, judging from the present, 
 there is not the slightest reason to apprehend. 
 
 It is difficult properly to acknowledge the encouraging 
 help already given. 
 
 The author is very deeply indebted to Mr. Cecil G. S. 
 Foljambe, M.P., for having obtained for him access to various 
 Muniment rooms, more especially to the magnificent collec- 
 tion of 1 2th and 13th century Records belonging to Mr. 
 Francis John Savile Foljambe, of Osberton, who, as the 
 representative of several of the oldest families of Derbyshire 
 and Notts., has inherited their muniments. This collection 
 of deeds has hitherto slumbered in the dust, though in truth 
 it is one of the most extensive and valuable in the whole of 
 England, relating to South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire. 
 
 To that eminent scholar, the Rev. C. B. Norcliffe, of Lang- 
 ton Hall, Malton, the editor of "The Visitation of Yorkshire 
 in 1563," and other works, the writer has to acknowledge 
 the deepest gratitude ; since, but for his friendly aid and 
 encouragement, he could not have persevered in this arduous 
 undertaking. 
 
 The author has also to acknowledge with gratitude and 
 
xviii PREFACE. 
 
 respect the liberality which has been extended to him by 
 many noblemen, and others, in giving him, — a mere stranger, 
 with no credentials but those of literature, — access to their 
 Muniment rooms ; a great mark of confidence, which 
 has been of the highest importance to this work. His 
 best thanks are especially due to the Right Hon. The 
 Earl of Derby, K.G., who has not only permitted 
 access to his private Records, but has accepted the Dedica- 
 tion of this work to himself, as titular Earl of the county; 
 to their Graces the Dukes of Devonshire and Rutland ; 
 the Lord Arundel of Wardour ; The Earl of Egmont ; 
 Mr. Savile, of Rufford Abbey; Mrs. Chaworth Musters, 
 of Annesley Park ; Mr. Lancelot Rolleston of Watnal 
 Hall ; Mr. Swift, of Sheffield ; and to many others, the 
 author is deeply indebted. 
 
 For the loan of books and MSS., and, in some cases, for 
 their gifts of books, he has to thank The Right Hon. The 
 Lord Denman ; Sir George R. Sitwell ; The Rev. C. B. 
 Norcliff"; and The Rev. Dr. C. J. Cox, of Enville Rectory. 
 Thanks are also due to the late Mr. Colvile, of Burton ; to 
 Major J. Talbot Coke, for a copy of his work, The Cokes, of 
 Trusley ; Mr. Andrews E. Cokayne, of Bakewell, for a copy 
 of the Cockayne Memoranda, and other books ; to Mrs. Cha- 
 worth Musters, for the loan of a MS. history of the Chaworth 
 family, by William Flower, Norroy (1581), of great value. Also 
 to the Right Honble. The Earl of Egmont for the loan of 
 MS. Indices to Dugdale's Baronage ; to Mr. Wilfred Edmunds 
 for Flavell Edmunds' "Traces of History in the names of 
 Places ; " and to Mr. George Edward Gee, of Chesterfield, 
 for the loan of several books ; to Mr. Wm. Brailsford Bunting, 
 of Chesterfield, for the loan of a most interesting MS., the 
 Poll Book for the Derbyshire County Election of 1703, when 
 the people were more Conservative than they are at present, 
 and for access to some ancient Court Rolls; to J. G. Wilson, 
 
PREFACE. xix 
 
 Esq., of Alfreton, for copies of several subsidy Rolls in his 
 possession, not to be found at the Record Office ; to IVIessrs. 
 Shipton and Halliwell, of Chesterfield ; and to Mr. John 
 Cutts, the Town Clerk, for access to their valuable Records. 
 He has also to thank many correspondents for their aid and 
 information. 
 
 That so much aid should be accorded to one whose only 
 connection with the County is that of a Barrister travelling 
 the Circuit in which it is situated, is not only very grati- 
 fying, but most encouraging — for it shows that there is a 
 strong desire for the work, and a determination to support a 
 writer who will do it honestly, and to the best of his ability.

 COLLECTIONS FOR THE HISTORY OF 
 DERBYSHIRE. 
 
 THE BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 The great work of Domesday is the foundation of feudal 
 history ; and a few observations upon its nature and value 
 may assist the learned reader in fairly considering it. The 
 great importance of this work does not arise because feudal 
 institutions were founded in England at this period, as so 
 many writers pretend, but because prior to this period writing 
 was rarely used, either in the transfer or in the dealing with 
 lands and manors, and it is the first fiscal record that we 
 possess. The laws which then governed the country, especially 
 with regard to measurements affecting taxation of land, varied 
 from petty kingdom to kingdonl, and frequently in the same 
 territory, and it was only in those laws which affected the 
 Sovereign state that uniformity prevailed. It was chiefly in 
 order to assimilate these laws that the survey was made. We 
 find proof of the first proposition in the ever-varying customs 
 of manors which prevail at the present day, whilst Domesday 
 gives us distinct proof of the latter. 
 
 In Domesday we possess, probably, the sum of the law, 
 or as it was called the common law, to distinguish it from 
 local custom, which existed in England for centuries prior to 
 
2 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 its date, even so far back as the occupation of the Romans. 
 Each monarch, as he ascended the throne, undertook to govern 
 by the laws of his predecessors, and it is probable, though it 
 is by no means clear, that this undertaking was reduced into 
 writing, yet it is tolerably clear from the absence of contempo- 
 rary authority, that William the Conqueror, who gave the same 
 undertaking as did Canute and others, did not reduce his 
 charter of liberties into writing, for there is no evidence of its 
 existence at any time ; possibly he felt that it would be more 
 convenient to trust (as the English custom was) to the memories 
 of his chiefs ; and it was probable, upon finding them somewhat 
 treacherous, that he resolved to reduce the question of their 
 relative rights and duties into the form of Domesday. 
 
 However this may be, the Book of Domesday is the first 
 account we possess of the tenures of English estates, and so far 
 as regards Derbyshire, the only comprehensive record for a 
 considerable period. 
 
 It is true that we shall find here and there in the charters 
 granted by the Crown to various religious houses, and in the 
 Pipe Rolls, and in some of the earliest public records, and in 
 occasional private charters, facts of importance to county 
 history ; but the first class. Abbey Cartularies, are not cotem- 
 porary records, these documents having generally been com- 
 piled as late as the thirteenth century ; and the writers of 
 them had too much concern for the special interests of their 
 orders to be invariably reliable, and as the earliest charters 
 recorded in their books must have perished before they were 
 compiled, it is obvious that they can only have been handed 
 down by tradition ; indeed, the fact that before the Conquest 
 writing was not employed in the transfer of land, seriously 
 detracts from the little respect that can generally be accorded 
 to them. 
 
 That it was a fact, clear beyond dispute, that writing was 
 not employed in land transfer, we may learn from the double 
 system of conveyancing, that by charter, and that by fine, with 
 livery of seizin (without charter), which prevailed down to the 
 time of Charles the Second. 
 
 And it is only after the Records of the County Court and 
 of the Aula Regis were reduced into writing (a system which 
 was inaugurated by the composition of Domesday), that we

 can positively state, apart from the evidence of Domesday, 
 what was the law affecting land in private hands, and who 
 were the holders, and the terms of their tenure ; yet, looking 
 at the tenacity with which the landowners clung to their rights 
 during the 450 years of which we have official record, and 
 indeed as regards under-tenants in private manors quite down 
 to the present day, we may safely conclude that little change 
 was made for centuries before this period, yet this is at best 
 conjecture, and in endeavouring to write a history of these 
 institutions, it is necessary to rely strictly upon facts, and to 
 give the best positive proofs that can be supplied in support 
 of it. 
 
 Another reason why Domesday must be taken as the 
 groundwork of our history, is that the greatest mystery and 
 suspicion hangs over the question ; it is a fact that, until 
 within a very short period, the existence of the so-called Saxon 
 charters was unknown, even to so great an antiquary as Seldon. 
 He declared that he never saw one, and well knowing that the 
 English before the Conquest did not use writing in the con- 
 veyance of land, he, not unnaturally, doubted their existence. 
 
 Since the days of Seldon, however, a complete Saxon litera- 
 ture has been unearthed ; when, where, and how, it is not the 
 province of this work to discover, but it may be remarked that 
 the vast majority of these do'cuments betray their own untrust- 
 worthiness, by the fact that they contain no dates or details of 
 the smallest value, which were previously unknown, and which 
 can be tested by ascertained facts, whilst the authentic Norman 
 contemporary charters and chartularies upon which this work 
 is based are of the greatest value and interest, since they abound 
 with life and instruction, and give us an insight into the public 
 as well as the private history of estates and individuals. 
 
 If the learned reader is desirous of following up the author's 
 views on this subject, he must refer to his books on " Early 
 English History," and that on " The Origin of the Nations of 
 Western Europe." Here they would be out of place, and are 
 only referred to for the purpose of weighing the value of the 
 testimony of Domesday. 
 
 It must here be remarked that, although very precious, 
 Domesday is not so comprehensive and so valuable as it is 
 generally supposed to be, and as both Sir Henry James and 
 
4 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt insist. Both these learned writers seem 
 to sum up their estimate of it, by quoting a passage from that 
 mythical and wholly unreliable work, the Saxon Chronicle, 
 the gist of which is, that in the year 1085 King William, 
 hearing when in Normandy of a projected Danish Invasion, 
 came over to England "with so large an army of horsemen and 
 foot from France and from Brittany, as never before had sought 
 this land, so that men wondered how this land could feed all 
 that army, but the king caused the army to be distributed 
 through all this land among his vassals, and they fed this army, 
 each according to the measure of his land." 
 
 "After this the king had a great counsel and very deep speech 
 with his witan about this land, how it vs^as peopled and by 
 what men, then sent his men over all England into every 
 shire, and caused to be ascertained how many hundred hides 
 were in the shire, what land the king himself had, and cattle 
 within the land, and what dues he ought to have in twelve 
 months from the shire. Also, he caused to be written how 
 much land his archbishops had, and his suffragan bishops, and 
 his abbots, and his earls, and though I may narrate somewhat 
 prolixly what or how much each man had who was a holder 
 of land in England, in land or in cattle, and how much money 
 it might be worth, so very narrowly he caused it to be traced 
 out, there was not one single hide, nor one yard of land (this 
 should be translated " Yardland " or Virgate), nor even (it is 
 shame to tell, though it seemed to him no shame to do) an 
 ox, nor a cow, nor a swine was left, that was not set down in 
 his writs, and all the writings were brought to him afterwards." 
 
 Now before referring to the errors and inaccuracies of 
 this account, it may be worth while to enquire who was the 
 author of it. 
 
 Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt calls it " a remarkable and important 
 passage from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle," but the date shows 
 that it could not have formed a portion of that Chronicle, 
 which was, in fact, that of Marianus Scotus, as the author has 
 proved in his " Early English History," and it was first called the 
 Saxon Chronicle by Archbishop Parker, who himself invented 
 the absurd compound term Anglo-Saxon, a word which 
 puzzles foreign archaeologists, since it compounds the native 
 with the foreign name of Englishmen. 
 
BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 5 
 
 Marianus Scotus probably concluded his portion of the history 
 about the year 1056, when he left this country ; but the writer 
 of this paragraph evidently resided here.. He was probably 
 Florence of Worcester, who adopted and continued Marianus, 
 but whose work was so little thought of by William of Malmes- 
 bury, that in giving an account of the histories extant in 1 120, 
 he does not even refer to Marianus, the Saxon Chronicle, or to 
 Florence of Worcester ; indeed, none of these works were 
 brought to light until long afterwards, when a market was 
 created for the concoction of Saxon literature. 
 
 Now, first, as to the motive of the compilation — to find pro- 
 vision for the army. This is a palpable error. The army might 
 be billetted by necessity, but not by law, upon the people, for 
 the people were the army. A standing army was then unknown. 
 The king had no rights, and Domesday shows that he had no 
 rights, over the lands of his tenants, except as regards his 
 hidage, or, as Mr. Boult (Transactions of the Historic Society of 
 Liverpool, 1871), states, the "aids" due from the land to 
 the Crown, and the rights (courtesy, more properly), when the 
 king made his journeys (progresses) through the country, he 
 had nothing to do with the oxen, cows, or pigs on the estates, 
 except when in progress he consumed a part of them. Nor 
 could he intermeddle with the sub-rents of the tenants in any 
 way. Each barony, nay, each manor, was a separate kingdom ; 
 an imperium in imperio, governed by its own laws. Florence 
 (or the writer of this paragraph) has blushed needlessly for the 
 king on this account. His mistake, no doubt, arose from the 
 mention of bovats or oxgangs, on which hides were payable ; 
 just as at an earlier period, instead of in money prices were 
 measured by so many oxen. 
 
 The rents which the king could exact were only rack, or dry 
 rents, and by no means represented the true value of the estate 
 to the holder, but only the hidage or aid due to the king. It 
 was originally a fixed measure of one pound — the old British 
 tunc pound — which every knight paid for his fee of so many 
 ploughlands. The record strictly only takes in the number of 
 these ploughlands or bovates hidable in each village or town, 
 and sometimes we luckily get at the name of the tenant— though 
 very rarely more than his Christian name — but nothing more, 
 for the king had no interest in him or control over him, except, 
 
6 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 perhaps, as a measure of the number of fees in the village upon 
 which his tenant-in-chief ought to pay hide. The rents of the 
 sub-tenant and the terms of his tenure was a matter solely 
 between the under-lord and himself, and of no importance to the 
 king. 
 
 A far more reliable account of the motives of the great Survey 
 is to be found in the Register of Bermondsey under the years 
 1083-4, from which it would seem that it was a mere register 
 of rents due to the Crown. It is quite clear, also, that, although 
 the Commissioners, probably in consequence of special instruc- 
 tions, made a return of all the fees in each village, they were not 
 all geldable — that is, they did not all of them pay aid to the king, 
 for we frequently read that in certain places only so many 
 carucates were geldable, though others are mentioned, and 
 even in King Edward's time, the payment for a carucate was 
 variable. A carucate is only another name for ploughland ; 
 hide refers to the aid payable in respect of it. Carucate is the 
 cart team necessary to work it, supposed to be so called after 
 the Roman manner of four horses having been yoked abreast. 
 
 To show the variable nature of the tax, in Foston, four knights 
 had, in King Edward's time, two and a half carucates hidable; 
 then, twelve villains and eight borders had three ploughs and 
 ten acres of meadow, of which the value was forty shillings. 
 
 In Alkmanton there were four ploughs, two in demesne, and 
 eight villains ; and then there were seven borders who had two 
 ploughs and twelve acres of meadow. The value was the same. 
 
 In Holloington, six thanes had one and a half carucates 
 geldable, and land for twelve oxen ; eleven villains and seven 
 borders had seven ploughs and eight acres of meadow, and a 
 little underwood, in the time of King Edward, and then it was 
 worth forty shillings. 
 
 In Bradley, two knights had one carucate hidable, land for 
 two ploughs, and it was worth forty shillings. 
 
 In Snelston, six ploughs were valued at the same rate ; indeed, 
 so variable is the number of carucates, ploughs, bovates, and 
 acres for each forty or twenty shillings, that no rule can be laid 
 down on that measure ; and the only safe conclusion seems to be, 
 that for every separate holding in a village, one pound — the 
 ancient British tunc pound — was originally charged : that is, a 
 place was reckoned by so many knights' fees, each of which 
 
BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 7 
 
 was assessed at that sum. And in the course of centuries the 
 actual value and working capacity of the estate had greatly 
 increased, whilst the hide had not been raised. The king's 
 thanes held their lands at a much cheaper rate. It was 
 evidently originally taxed as the other land by pounds ; but 
 these were now generally measured by shillings, probably 
 according to the goodwill of the former sovereign at the time of 
 the grant. In early days, land given to favourites was described 
 as being held by a fraction of a knight's fee, sometimes a 200th 
 part, or a nominal sum. 
 
 These thanes are a particularly interesting class, as they 
 represented the ancient nobility of the kingdom, and who were 
 allowed still to hold their ancient fiefs. Many more were 
 under-tenants of the Norman lords, but these men were never 
 displaced. Another class of men rated were those living in 
 towns where a hide or aid was paid for so many mansions or for 
 so many ploughlands adjacent to the town, and belonging to it. 
 
 Mr. Kemble ("Saxons in England," Vol. I, p. 488), who, with 
 a certain class of writers (unfortunately a very large one), 
 persists in ignoring the Celtic element in our laws, language, and 
 literature (though it is the chief element), has made a ridiculous 
 mistake in confounding the hide with the ploughland — that is, 
 the tax with the subject of taxation. He writes, " it is necessary 
 to bear in mind, that the hide is exclusively arable land," a state- 
 ment which is at once disposed of by the taxes upon towns. For 
 instance, Chester was assessed at 50 hides, whilst Exeter was 
 assessed at 5. Derby, in King Edward's time, had 243 
 burgesses ; then it had 100 burgesses, and 40 lesser ones, " whilst 
 103 mansions, which used to be assessed, were waste." In King 
 Edward's time the town had 12 carucates adjoining it, and 
 rendered ;^24 ; then, with the ten mills and Litchurch, it was 
 worth ^^30. At the same period (King Edward's time) Notting- 
 ham had 173 burgesses, and only 6 carucates of land, for which, 
 with the burgesses works, they paid only 75 shillings and 
 7 pence, in King William's time there were only 136 men 
 dwelling there, 13 of whom had been put in by Hugh fitz Baldric, 
 the Sheriff. In the time of King Edward, Nottingham yielded 
 in rent £18; at Domesday, ;^30. 
 
 It is very difficult to say at what hidage each of these towns 
 was assessed, or whether they were assessed only according to 
 
8 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 the burgess aid. The great increase from ;£'i8 and £20, to £10 in 
 Nottingham and Derby, in spite of decrease in the number of 
 burgesses in both, adds to the difficulty. The mint at Nottingham 
 paid £\Q extra. Mines, saltworks, fisheries, and other properties, 
 all contributed to make up the hides, so that many houses must 
 have gone to form a single hide Where a city was measured 
 by hides, the probability is that each parish in a city represented 
 one or more hides, just as did a vill in the country. It may 
 be, however, that the value at which these towns were assessed 
 was only in respect of the lands held by them adjacent to the 
 town, for the Pipe Rolls show that independently of the Dane- 
 geld there was a distinct burgess aid. The particulars given are 
 hardly conclusive on the point. Another class of land owners, 
 or rather of manors, which were enquired into were the Terra 
 Regis, the lands of ancient demesne, that land which had always 
 supplied the royal revenue. For the most part this was let to 
 the king's tenants, some of whom supplied food for the royal 
 tables ; whilst others were let to farm at substantial rents, called 
 fee-farm rents, just as the tenants-in-chief underlet their own 
 estates ; or perhaps at a nominal rent, if the estate were given 
 as a reward to a favourite. In only some instances, and probably 
 for these reasons, is there any value placed on these lands. 
 Those lands so let at fee-farm could not be disposed of by 
 the sovereign, except for his life. Upon his death they re- 
 verted unfettered to his successor. 
 
 We see, therefore, that not only did not the king, " to his 
 shame," take an account of his subjects' cattle, but that he did 
 not tax all their lands, but only those which, doubtless, from time 
 out of mind, had been regularly taxed for the royal revenue, and 
 those which he himself had granted, but it would rather seem 
 that he increased the taxes on towns in proportion to their 
 works, and the number of their burgesses. 
 
 The following tables have been extracted from the MSS. of 
 the late Rev. Robert Eyton, now deposited at the British 
 Museum, and numbered 3 1924 amongst the Additional MSS., 
 and they give at a glance an important fact, which supplies the 
 true reason of the Survey, Instead of the king growing richer, 
 the revenues of the Crown were, in country places at least, 
 being sensibly diminished. Omitting fractions, the gross value 
 of the five wapentakes of Derbyshire had fallen from £^'^7 
 
BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 9 
 
 to .^455 ; and again, the measurement of a carucate varied 
 in each hundred, no doubt to the king's loss. This calculation 
 of the royal revenue, however, does not include the fee-farm 
 rents of the Crown. 
 
 We learn one important fact from the consideration of this 
 subject which is generally overlooked. Not only were many 
 ploughlands in vills which might have been taxed left out of 
 the calculation, but only those vills in which lands are taxed 
 are mentioned in Domesday, so that it is not a perfect record 
 even of the estates of the nobles. The author has found nearly 
 as many places in Derbyshire (many, if not most, of which must 
 have been manors at this period), and which are unmentioned in 
 Domesday as those which are given, and the number is con- 
 tinually increasing, a fact which teaches us that Mr. Eyton's 
 valuable tables must only be read as applying to Domesday, 
 that is, to only part of the county, and not as illustrative of the 
 whole ; unfortunately, we have no means of obtaining statistics 
 as to the rest. 
 
 The Rev. Mr. Eyton, in his Derbyshire Notes, has pointed 
 out various small distinctions observable in the different surveys 
 of Derbyshire and Stafford, with a view to determine under 
 which circuit they were severally surveyed, a matter of not very 
 great importance ; his criticisms, however, are of greater value 
 in determining the objects of the survey. In Derbyshire, mill 
 sites, churches, and portions of manors apportioned to others, 
 were mentioned, but not in Staffordshire, and the latter only 
 invariably gave the measurements of small woods. These 
 differences would appear to show that much was left to the 
 discretion of the Commissioners, that the Crown desired to learn 
 as much as possible, but that no special instructions were given 
 on some subjects, and therefore it would seem to follow that 
 many items of property were referred to which were not taxable 
 at that period. 
 
 It would be interesting to learn whether the Conqueror took 
 any legislative action in consequence of the report, or whether 
 the laws relating to taxation remained unaltered, but were only 
 more strictly applied. Judging from the evidence of the Pipe 
 Rolls, it would seem that nothing was done, and no legislation 
 of any consequence appears to be recorded by contemporary 
 chroniclers.

lO BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 It certainly appears from Eyton's studies that Derby was 
 surveyed by the same Commissioners who surveyed Yorkshire, 
 Huntingdon, Nottingham, and Lincolnshire, and that part of 
 Rutland which was included in Nottingham ; and it is probable 
 that the surveys of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire induced the 
 Commissioners to call the hundreds of Derbyshire wapentakes. 
 Why, it is not very clear, because there is nothing in common 
 in the derivation of the two words, indeed the latter is generally 
 used as a portion of the former, and there is one instance of 
 such a measure of a hundred in Derbyshire in the Manor of 
 Sawley. A portion of the wapentake or hundred of Morleston 
 is called itself a hundred, and it contained I2 carucates, the 
 standard measurement of the smaller kind of hundred. 
 
 There can be but little doubt that before the Conquest, and 
 when Derby formed a portion of the Kingdom of Mercia, it was 
 then divided into hundreds, like its sister counties on the south 
 and west. The name wapentake was only occasionally used in 
 Derbyshire down to the time of Edward I., or perhaps a little 
 later, when that of hundred became again permanently in use, 
 but even when it was used, both words were used indiscrimi- 
 nately. Eyton has expended a good deal of labour on this 
 point, which is scarcely intelligible. Had he examined the 
 records he would have seen that, whatever their meaning, the 
 terms were used interchangeably, as if identical ; just as hide 
 and carucate were afterwards confused. 
 
 That in Derbyshire a wapentake is equivalent to a hundred is 
 quite clear, from the fact that the modern hundreds are con- 
 terminous with the Domesday wapentakes, although some of 
 them have been sub-divided into two parts, or, perhaps more 
 properly, half hundreds ; and this at once disposes of Eyton's 
 idea that the county was divided into hundreds of 12 carucates 
 each. 
 
 Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt has not hazarded much upon the 
 question of measurements, nor has he formed a definite system 
 for Derbyshire; perhaps in doing so he has exercised a wise 
 discretion. He gives a carucate as equivalent to a ploughland, 
 a rather indefinite expression ; a hide, which he also, with Mr. 
 Kemble, regards as a measure of land and not of taxation, 
 according to him varying from 30 to 120 acres. A bovat 
 or oxgang, a ploughland, equal to an eighth part of a carucate. 
 
BOOK OF DOMESDAY. u 
 
 and equal to a quantity varying from 8 to 24 acres. A virgate 
 as a fourth, or perhaps an eighth of a hide, which, tabulated, 
 omitting variations, leaves a virgate, and a bovat equal to an 
 eighth of a hide, and therefore equal to each other, and each 
 equal to eight acres, or it may be that one virgate equalled two 
 bovats of that amount. 
 
 The term hide does not appear to be used in the Derbyshire 
 Domesday, nor does virgate appear till a later period. Eyton 
 has, according to the writer's ideas, fallen into great confusion 
 by insisting upon the terms hide and carucate being identical, 
 simply because he supposed that he found that each contained 
 48 geld acres (fol. 6) ; he, however, rejects the measure hide as 
 applied to this county. He describes the county of Derby as 
 divided into wapentakes, carucates, bovats, and geld acres, 
 whilst his own tables show that some of these measures bear 
 no sort of proportion to each other, and indeed that they vary 
 in each hundred. Omitting fractions, in Apletre there were 
 512 acres to the carucate, in Morleston 261, in Hameston 736, 
 and so on. Of course this discrepancy may be accounted for 
 by supplying the acres which were not geldable, but taking it 
 as- true, this would give 64 acres to the bovat in Apletre, 
 32 in Morleston, and 92 in Hameston ; yet in another part of 
 his treatise, he has broadly stated that a Derbyshire carucate 
 or ploughland measured 120 acres (fol. 12), and the mode he 
 arrives at this calculation is so remarkable that the whole 
 passage is transcribed. 
 
 He writes : — 
 
 " While on the subject of the ploughland, I would fain add 
 from the Derbyshire Survey a corroboration of my theory 
 adopted long since on other grounds, that the ordinary Terra 
 ad unam caracam measured 120 statute acres. The passage 
 describing Henry de Ferrars' two manors of Hertshorne runs 
 as follows : — Doms 80, 274, 3, 2. Manerium in Heorteshorne 
 habebat Aluricus iiii carucatas terrse ad geldam. Terra iiij 
 carucis, wasta est, silva pastilis dimidia leuva longa et dimidia 
 (leuva) lata. Terra arabilis tantundem T. R. E. valebat iiij 
 libras modo (valet) x solidos. 
 
 "Manerium in alia Heorteshorne habetat Aluricus ij caru 
 terrae ad geldam. Terra ij carucis, wasta est, silva pastilis 
 dimidia leuva longa et dimidia leuva lata. Terra arabilis 
 
12 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 tantundem T. R. E. valebat xl solidos modo valet x 
 soHdos." 
 
 In each case the plough capacity (Terr. 4 car., Terr. 2 car.) 
 is calculated perhaps on that ordinary feature of the carucate 
 or hide, that each carucate or hide involved one ploughland, 
 or it may have been that the Domesday Commissioners found 
 actual record that 4 teams and 2 teams had been employed 
 at some previous period on the two estates respectively. 
 There could be no other adaptability or normal capacity of 
 the ploughland, for we see that in one manor the four plough- 
 lands co-ordinated with just the same quantity of arable land 
 as did the two ploughlands of the other. The expressions terr 
 iiij car, terra ij carucis, are used then either technically, erro- 
 neously, or else with reference to some known antecedent, to 
 correct the glaring inconsistency or inaccuracy, and to certify 
 the Commissioners' opinion about adaptability or present 
 capacity. They added, perhaps, those unusual words, measur-' 
 i-ng the arable land by an exact measure. 
 
 The whole case will best be stated algebraically. In one 
 manor, of 4 ploughlands = | league x J a league = 360 statute 
 acres, 
 
 or I ploughland = 90 statute acres. 
 
 In the other manor, 2 ploughlands = J league x J a league 
 = 360 statute acres, 
 
 . or I ploughland =180 statute acres. 
 
 It is not likely that the Domesday Commissioners were 
 ignorant of the doctrine that two things equal to the same 
 were equal to one another, but it is not improbable that, to 
 point inaccurate or suspected premises, they might use a process 
 akin to what logicians term a reductio ad absurdam ; they used 
 other formula suggestive of a similar suspicion, e.g., terra est 
 ij carucis sed tamen ibi iiij carucis. 
 
 In all such questions, if we cannot surely interpret the text 
 and intention of isolated passages of Domesday, we can estab- 
 lish pretty safe conclusions by adding further premises and 
 calculating general results. In the present case, the question 
 of the average measurement of a Domesday ploughland, we 
 need to add no further premises, we need only to combine 
 the two seemingly discordant premises. The added equations 
 will be : — 
 
BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 13 
 
 4 pis. + 2 ploughs. = 360 a. + 360 a. 
 
 6 ploughs. = 720 a. 
 
 I plough. = 120 a. 
 
 and such is the exact conclusion to which I arrived when 
 
 studying the Dorset Survey, and arguing from other lights. — 
 
 (See Key to Domesday, 23, 24.) 
 
 It is only fair to point out that this MS. was not prepared 
 for the press, and had it been, probably the learned author 
 would himself have corrected it. 
 
 Now, putting aside the extraordinary reasoning which could 
 satisfy a man of such undoubted talent as Mr. Eyton, let us look 
 at these entries, and two facts are at once apparent. First, that 
 there is no other instance in the Derbyshire Domesday where 
 arable land is measured by leagues ; it is invariably measured 
 by carucates or land measures. That woods and underwoods, 
 on the other hand, are never measured by carucates or plough 
 measures, but always by lineal measures. And we shall see at 
 once that, curiously enough, the scribe has used the words 
 " arable land " twice, in mistake for underwood. In no instance 
 in this Domesday is land, whether arable or not, given after 
 wood ; besides, the land, although waste, was already measured, 
 by land and not by lineal measure. Why, then, measure it twice 
 over } This is not done in any other instance, as Mr. Eyton 
 himself has discovered. But assuming that arable land was 
 intended and only described by lineal measure, because, like 
 wood, it was of little value (as a fact, waste lands are never so 
 measured), how possibly could a simple addition and division 
 sum, magnified here into an equation, solve the difficulty } 
 There is literally nothing in the entries ! In the first manor the 
 tenant paid £4 for four carucates, and in the second £2 for a 
 couple, that is the old tunc pound for each carucate. Both 
 manors being waste, they were each reduced to the nominal 
 payment of half a hide. 
 
 The truth is, that many ancient terms, as hundred, hide, 
 acre, etc., etc., have several distinct meanings, and at various 
 periods either lose their true meaning or are misapplied. The 
 important question for Derbyshire history is, what was the 
 meaning of these terms in this county ? PoHdore Vergil states 
 a hide to be 2C acres ; whilst Agard fixes it at 100 ; and other 
 instances as high as 240. Sir George Sitwell has furnished a 
 
14 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 Derbyshire record, wherein a bovate is stated properly to 
 contain 80 acres (Charter concerning land at Barlborough), 
 but a question may arise whether this quantity was general 
 throughout the county, or only applicable to a particular 
 manor; or, in fact, whether it was not a generous bovat. 
 Mr. Frederick Seebohm, in his interesting work, " The Village 
 Community," has paid great attention to the origin and meaning 
 of the word hide, and although he has missed its correct 
 etymology (probably he had not the advantage of reading Mr. 
 Boult's admirable paper upon the subject), he is not very far 
 wrong in its application. He writes, p. 398, " The word hide, 
 which still baffles all attempts to explain its meaning, may 
 possibly have had reference to a similar tribute. Even in 
 England it does not follow that it was, in its origin, connected 
 with the plough team." He was referring to the Frisians, with 
 whom existed the custom of the tribute of a hide for every so 
 many oxen, which, he adds, " was as ready a mode of assessing 
 the tribute as counting the plough teams would be in an 
 agricultural district.'' 
 
 Mr. Seebohm has given a very interesting table of measures 
 for Huntingdonshire, taken from the Hundred Rolls, from which 
 it appears that in nineteen cases the number of virgates in a hide 
 varied from 4 to 8 ; in seven cases the number was 4 ; in five it was 
 5 ; in six it was 6 ; and in one, 8 ; whilst the number of acres in 
 a virgate varied from 15 to 48. The number of acres in a hide 
 was less variable : in eight cases there were 1 20 acres to a hide ; in 
 four, 125 ; the other seven all differing from them. Mr. Seebohm 
 calculates that the normal virgate or yard land was one-fourth 
 of a hide, and contained 30 acres. But in the face of such varia- 
 tions it seems almost idle to endeavour to arrive at a definite 
 solution of the question, and all that can positively be predicted 
 is that the hide, or carucate, really represents an uncertain 
 amount of land, varying according to soil and climate, which a 
 single plough-team could work. 
 
 This learned writer seems to think that carucate is a later 
 word than hide, and supplanted it subsequently to the period of 
 the Hundred Rolls, but this is obviously a mistake. Both are 
 to be found in Domesday, and both probably were of Gaelic 
 origin, the one describing the tax or aid (eid), and the other the 
 thing by which the aid was measured. It is, therefore, not 
 
BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 IS 
 
 Strictly accurate to describe the hide as varying ; what varied 
 was the subject of the hide. 
 
 Perhaps the true cause of the variable quantity of the carucate 
 is to be found in its unit. It is clear from the statute of 33rd 
 Edward I., which fixed the acre at 40 perches in length and 4 
 in breadth, that its variable nature was a source of contention 
 and strife, which it was desirable to avoid. The shape of the 
 acre shows that it was so many furrows ; and we learn an 
 important fact from Mr. Seebohm's book that down to a late 
 period the idea of every acre being a specific part of a carucate 
 or plough-team was no fiction, but a reality ; and that the joint 
 owners of the carucate were also the joint owners of the 
 plough team, and, took their part in the ploughing in a 
 regular rotation. This is proved conclusively by the descrip- 
 tion of the virgate of one John Moldeson, in the manor of 
 Winslow, which consisted of over 68 half-acre strips of land, 
 scattered in different common fields of the manor. In 66 cases 
 his land on one side abutted upon the land of John Watkins ; 
 on 43 of the other to Henry Ward's land ; and in 23 to John 
 Mayn's land. These four men, therefore, each held one or a 
 part of one virgate of the carucate, and jointly owned the 
 plough team. And we get at this further fact, that the fields 
 would be each of 2 acres (40 rods in length, by 8 broad), 
 which would constitute a double day's ploughing for a full 
 team of oxen, or perhaps only one day in a light soil. 
 
 It is in the history of this system of co-operative ploughing 
 that the confusion between the hide and the carucate and bovat 
 arose. Our only true measure of what was the English law 
 before the Conquest is to be found in the Welsh, the ancient 
 British laws ; and from these we learn that the common profits 
 of the common undertaking were divided nominally between 
 the oxen, in a regular system of rotation the place in the team 
 depending as much, perhaps, upon the share of its owner, as 
 upon the strength and capabilities of the ox. 
 
 The author has derived very great benefit from the labours of 
 Major-General Wrottesly for the William Salt Society for 
 Staffordshire. They cannot be too highly commended, since 
 they supply, in an admirable form, the most important imforma- 
 tion relative to that county. It is to be hoped that the learned 
 author will continue his labours in this direction. General

 Wrottesly has noted that the assessment for that county only 
 varied one penny during the reigns of Henry I. and II. ; and he 
 informs us that in 8 Henry II., it was reduced to £4.2 os. 7d. 
 His table of land measures seems too fanciful to be of real value 
 to Derbyshire students. He would give a knight's fee as equal 
 to 3000 acres, or three hides, or four carucates ; three virgates, 
 or 750 acres, being equal to one carucate. The Evesham 
 Cartulary suggests the following table : — " Twelve acres 
 to a virgate, four virgates to a hide, eight hides to a 
 scutage ; a carucate being only equal to three virgates." 
 Derbyshire Domesday only mentions carucates, bovats, and 
 acres ; and from that book itself the relation of bovats to 
 carucates can be certainly adduced, and from several instances. 
 In the king's manor of Langdendale, it is shown that eight 
 bovats go to the carucate ; so it would appear from Snelston, 
 though there is an error of one bovat in the calculation. But it 
 is quite clear again from Henry de Ferrers' manor of Burnaston, 
 so that Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt's estimate of from eight to twenty- 
 four bovats would seem not to apply to Derbyshire, since it is 
 there a fixed and not a variable measure. In Geoffry Ascelins' 
 manor of Braideston we appear to get the measure of a carucate. 
 Gilbert de Gant held there two carucates of land, one mile in 
 length and three furlongs in breadth, which would give 120 
 acres to the carucate and fifteen to the bovat, counting 640 acres 
 to the square mile. Curiously, this exactly agrees with Mr. 
 Eyton's calculation respecting the number of acres in a carucate. 
 Hubert fitz Ralf's manor of Middleton is measured by one 
 mile in length and four furlongs in breadth. One carucate was 
 geldable in it, and there was land for one plough, but it was 
 waste, and little evidence can be gathered from this estimate. 
 
 Whatever may have been the case in Derbyshire, it would 
 seem that the normal measure generally throughout the country 
 was twelve acres to the bovat and eight bovats to the 
 carucate, and eight carucates to the knight's fee, or scutage, 
 and the virgate, which we do not find in Derbyshire until long 
 after Domesday, was in some places equivalent to a bovat, and 
 in others to a double bovat. 
 
 As already observed, Domesday is not what it is generally 
 supposed to be, an account of every yard of land and, of all the 
 creeping things upon it (that is a record of the national 
 
BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 17 
 
 property), but simply an account (with occasional additional 
 facts, suggestive of an attempted increase in taxation) of the 
 number of carucates within each county which were hidable, 
 that is, a merely fiscal document, and it becomes a very interest- 
 ing problem to ascertain how far this can be proved by, and 
 compared with, subsequent records. The earliest records which 
 we possess bearing directly upon the question are the Pipe 
 Rolls ; and at irregular periods, as necessity compelled a levy, 
 we find the scutages, as they were then called, payable by 
 those knights who held estates which were liable to 
 pay danegelt. It would be a mistake, perhaps, to confound 
 danegelt with the geld payable at the time of Domesday. 
 These taxes were probably payable on other occasions besides 
 those when danegelt are exacted : that is, whenever the State 
 required a subsidy ; and Domesday records the very manors 
 and the fractions of the scutage which each manor or soke 
 was liable to contribute upon these occasions. Unfortunately, 
 we can only gather from the Pipe Rolls the gross amount of 
 scutage payable in each county. But these figures seem to 
 prove that, if the Conqueror took any action in consequence 
 of this Domesday Survey, it soon died out, and the ancient 
 order of things was restored, for the amount of scutage 
 remained the same, whilst that of levy still continued to 
 decrease. We have a scutage in a Pipe Roll which Mr. 
 Hunter has attempted to date as that of the year 
 31 Henry I., and unthinking persons accept that date as 
 conclusive, although Dugdale and the older writers, whose 
 opinions should not lightly be discarded, considered that it was 
 of the date of 5 Stephen; others thought the isth of that 
 king ; others the ist ; whilst some writers, even of the present 
 day, have supposed that it supplied the missing Roll of i 
 Henry II. (if, indeed, that roll is missing), the series of these 
 records being perfect from the second year' of that king. And 
 there is more weight in this suggestion than is generally 
 accorded to it. It is usually set aside without consideration, 
 because the sheriffs in this Roll and that of 2 Henry II., 
 are different, but that is surely to be expected, for necessarily 
 Henry II. would find Stephenite sheriffs when he came to the 
 throne, and would speedily replace them by his own friends. We 
 hardly know upon what facts or evidence Dugdale and the 
 4 
 
1 8 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 elder writers relied, but the truth seems to be that each of the 
 contending parties have strong evidence drawn from different 
 Rolls in support of their separate views, and each may be right 
 with regard to these different Rolls, for it by no means follows 
 that it is a Roll of one year : it may be a collection of the 
 fragments of several. The Roll is imperfect, many counties 
 being omitted ; and this fact alone should warn the positive 
 guessers of uncertainty and danger. Whether this be the case 
 or not, it is undoubtedly of a very early date, and most probably 
 about fifty years later than Domesday. We, then, beyond all 
 question, have the Roll of 2 Henry II., which was exactly 
 seventy years later, and the following notes, extracted from 
 these Rolls, shows conclusively that there was essentially no 
 difference between the assessments of these two periods ; and 
 this assessment continued the same for centuries afterwards. 
 It is submitted that the discrepancies between them arose from 
 accident — from manors falling out of cultivation, or from 
 ignorance or mistake, and not from any change in the law or 
 from design. On the fourteen following counties, the difference 
 in the assessment was under ;^io, although the difference in the 
 actual receipts was much greater. The large sums allowed for 
 waste in 2 Henry II. shows the misery which ensued from 
 the violence suffered under King Stephen, and the diminution 
 in the amount of tax between the time of Domesday and that 
 of the end of Henry I.'s reign may well represent the waste 
 occasioned by the rebellions against, and the violent conduct of, 
 that monarch. 
 
 It would be very interesting to contrast the relative amount 
 assessed under Domesday for the whole country, but the labour 
 would be too great. The rate of the assessment of Henry II. 
 is, fortunately, quite clear from the Pipe Roll for the county 
 of Worcester. The bishop said he had only fifty knights who 
 ought to be assessed, for which he paid ;£'40 los. into the 
 Treasury (and for which payment of i^ig los., was excused), 
 or exactly at the rate of £i per scutage. The author has 
 roughly calculated the amounts assessed in Nottingham and 
 Derbyshire. They are, unfortunately, lumped together in the 
 Pipe Rolls as one county : why, is not so clear. Other counties 
 besides Nottingham and Derby had the same sheriff, as 
 Yorkshire and Northumberland, Cambridge and Huntingdon, 
 
BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 19 
 
 Wilts, and Dorset, Dorset and Somerset, Bucks, and Beds., and 
 some others. The last two counties are lumped together in 
 2 Henry II., but kept separate in Henry I. The author 
 has calculated roughly the amount of scutage levied in both 
 Notts, and Derby at the date of Domesday ; and for Derbyshire 
 his calculation is within a couple of carucates of that of the 
 Rev, Mr. Eyton, so that both are probably nearly accurate, 
 Mr, Eyton's gives the sum of 698 carucates, with a fraction, for 
 Derbyshire, and the author has calculated that Nottingham had 
 a little under 500 hidable carucates. Now, dividing the sum 
 of the two counties by eight, we find that Derbyshire and 
 Nottingham between them possessed about 149 scutages, or 
 knight's fees. Taking it at the sum of £1 per scutage, we see 
 that it had sunk in the time of Henry I. in about the same 
 proportion as the scutage of that year had fallen in the time of 
 Henry II., that is generally, throughout the country. The 
 proportionate waste in Derbyshire was excessively high, probably 
 because so large a portion of it was devoted to the chase.

 These returns are interesting, as showing the relative importance 
 of the several counties ; but they are immensely valuable 
 in proof of the practically identical assessment at these two 
 periods, and their agreement with Domesday. The item of 
 waste, tempe Henry II., shows that the account was made up 
 relatively to an earlier one. That of Henry I. unfortunately 
 omits this series of items. Unfortunately, too, we have no 
 account of the waste created prior to Domesday in the amounts 
 of assessable land. We know that it was then so much, but we 
 have no record what it was in the time of Edward the Confessor 
 — that is, probably, the time of Canute. We get the decline in 
 the value of the manor or soke at Domesday and T.R.E., but 
 this gives no idea of the value of the scutage, which bore no 
 proportion to the value of the manor. In the following table, 
 which was compiled by the late Mr. Eyton, we see the latter 
 values : —

BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 23 
 
 It will be seen that Mr. Eyton has contrasted the gross value 
 of the manors with that of the scutage, but they appear to have 
 no relation to each other ; and this is apparefit from the 
 variation of the proportions to a carucate in each hundred. 
 The gross value of the wapentakes is £$87 6s. od., and the 
 number of carucates over 100 more. This would give a 
 hidage of nearly seven times the proper amount. But the 
 hidage was never variable : it always was fixed at the same sum 
 for the whole of England, usually 20s. So, too, the calculations 
 of the number of acres to a carucate are useless. They are 
 inserted from respect for Mr. Eyton, and because some persons 
 will prefer his reading of the document ; but it is confidently 
 submitted that, although the gross value of the wapentakes bore 
 a certain proportion to the cultivated acreage of the county, it 
 had no relation whatever to the hidable carucates. The latter 
 quantity, in fact, depended upon the generosity or caprice of 
 previous kings, who had assessed some knights or thanes 
 strictly, or the reverse. We see that the gross value of the 
 wapentakes had fallen from £^87 6s. T.R.E., to £4$^ i8s. at 
 Domesday, or nearly 23 per cent. It is improbable that the 
 decrease occurred during William's reign. Much as he loved 
 sport, he valued money more. Nor is it probable that it 
 occurred during the reign of Edward the Confessor, for no 
 forests or chases were laid down in most of the wasted manors ; 
 we know that, from the record of the population remaining. 
 We therefore necessarily conclude that the assessment of T.R.E. 
 was the old assessment of King Canute ?Lnd his Danish 
 successors, and hence possibly in hatred of the tax, we find 
 it still called Dane gelt in the reign of the Plantaganets : this, 
 and not the popular notion of it, is probably the truth. The 
 learned reader must also be cautioned from a too great reliance 
 upon other portions of Mr. Eyton's tables, especially those of 
 wood acreages. The Domesday Commissioners calculated 
 them very roughly, rarely condescending to a less measure 
 than half a mile. A wood of two miles long by one and a half 
 broad, and so forth, evidently mere guesses, for in a hilly county 
 like Derbyshire it would be difficult, even in these days, to find 
 a wood at all similar in shape to a parallelogram. 
 
 The author has not been able to discover the data on which 
 Mr. Eyton founds his reputed arable acreages. It is probable 
 
24 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 that he obtained it by adding the number of carucates and 
 bovates, which are invariably set down in Domesday after the 
 enumeration of the hidal assessment. If, instead of calculating 
 this sum in acres, it had been left in carucates, it would have 
 been of far greater value, as it would have shown how many 
 carucates escaped assessment. Taking the liberty of calculating 
 it upon this basis, and with Mr. Eyton's table of 48 acres 
 to the carucate, we find that only 693 carucates were geldable, 
 out of a gross number of 1887, or little more than one-third of 
 the land under plough cultivation ; and, taking the gross 
 acreage only, that number, out of 8825, or calculating it in acres, 
 only 33,264 acres were hidable, out of a gross sum of 423,594, 
 or only about one-thirteenth of the whole county. The accuracy 
 of this calculation, however, depends upon the correctness of 
 Mr. Eyton's assumption that a carucate contained only 48 
 acres. In all probability the true measure of a carucate is 
 nearly three times as much. 
 
 It would appear that much of the confusion which exists 
 between the terms hide and carucate, is attributable to the 
 changes made in the assessment of landed property by Arch- 
 bishop Hubert, in 1 198, a most important event in feudal 
 history, which will be noticed hereafter. His Commissioners, 
 in order to prevent loss to the Exchequer, determined in a 
 kind of sub-parliament (equivalent to a sitting of the House 
 of Commons), that in future the carucate throughout the whole 
 country should consist of 100 acres, and thus confusing the 
 ploughland with the hide. 
 
 General Wrottesly observes that " Staffordshire was assessable 
 to the geld tax to the extent of only 440^ hides, and which 
 left a large area ungeldable, not," he observes, " by reason of 
 the accidental privilege in favour of the king's writ, but of 
 immemorial prescription." He adds that "the rate of assess- 
 ment for the year was 2s. per hide." This is probably arrived 
 at by calculating the scutage at ten hides, and dividing by the 
 well-known amount of £1 per knight's fee.

 In the Borough of Derby, T. R. E., there were residing cc. and 
 xliii. burgesses, and to that borough adjoins xii. carucates of land 
 hidable, which viii. ploughs can plough. This land was divided 
 between xli. burgesses, who had xii. ploughs, ii. parts of the tax 
 and toll forfeitures, and of every custom, are the King's, and a | 
 part the Earl's. In the same borough there was in the King's 
 demesne i. church with vii. clerks who held freely ii. carucates of 
 land in Chester. There was likewise another church of the 
 King's, in which vi. clerks likewise held ix. bovates of land freely 
 in Cornun and Detton. In the town itself there were xiv. mills. 
 Now, there are c. burgesses there, and xl. other lesser ones. c. 
 and iii. houses are waste, which rendered tax. There are now x. 
 mills there, and xvi. acres of meadow. Underwood, iii. furlongs 
 in length and ii. in breadth. T. R. E., it rendered in the whole 
 xxiv. pounds ; now, with the mills and the town of Ludecerce it 
 renders xxx. pounds. 
 
 M. In Ludecerce the King has ii. carucates of land hidable. 
 Land for iii. ploughs. There is i. soke-man, and ix. villanes 
 having ii. ploughs and xii. acres of meadow. 
 
 In Derby, the Abbot of Burton has i. mill, and i. masure of 
 land with sac and soc, and ii. masures of which the King has soc, 
 and xiii. acres of meadow. 
 
 Geoffrey Alselin has i. church, which belonged to Tochi. 
 Ralph Fitzhubert i. church, which belonged to Leuric, with i. 
 carucate of land. Norman de Lincolia i. church, which belonged 
 to Brun. Edric has there i. church which belonged to Coin his 
 father. Earl Hugh has ii. masures and i. fishery with sac and 
 soc. Henry de Ferrers in like manner, iii. masures with sac and 
 soc. Osmer, the priest, has i. bovate of land with sac and soc. 
 Godwin, the priest, in like manner, i. bovate of land. 
 
 At the feast of Saint Martin the burgesses render to the King 
 xii. thraves of corn, of which the Abbot of Burton has xl. sheaves. 
 
BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 69 
 
 Moreover, in the same borough, there are viii. masures with sac and 
 soc. These belonged to Algar, now they are the King's. 
 
 The two parts of the King's moneys and the Earl's ^, which 
 
 and censur 
 
 issue from Apletree in Derberic Wapentake, are in the hand of 
 the Sheriff, by the testimony of the two shires. 
 
 Of Stori, the ancestor of Walter de Aincurt, the Jury find, 
 that without the license of any one, he might for himself make 
 there a church on his own land and soke, and assign as much of 
 his tithe as he pleased. 
 
 In Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, if the King's peace, given 
 by his hand or seal, should be broken, it is made good by xviii. 
 hundreds. Each hundred viii. pounds. Of this amend the King 
 has ii. parts, the Earl the J. That is to say, xii. hundreds 
 compensate the King, and vi. the Earl. If any one should be 
 outlawed according to law for any offence, no one but the King 
 can restore to him peace. A thane having more than vi. manors 
 does not give relief for his land, except only viii. pounds to the 
 King. If he has only vi. or less, he gives iii. marks of silver to 
 the Sheriff as a relief, wherever he resides, in the borough or 
 without. If a thane having sac and soc should forfeit his land, 
 the King and the Earl have the moiety of his land and chattels 
 between them, and the lawful wife with his lawful heirs, if there 
 are such, have the other moiety. 
 
 Here are noted those who have soc and sac and thol and 
 thaem, and the King's custom of ii. pence. 
 
 The Archbishop of York, upon his manors, and Godeva the 
 Countess, upon Newerk Wapentake. And Ulf Fenisc upon his 
 land. The Abbot of Burgh upon Colingeham. The Abbot of 
 Bertune. Earl Hugh upon Marcheton. The Bishop of Chester. 
 Tochi. Suen, the son of Suaue. Siuuard barn. Azor, the son 
 of Saleue. Ulric cilt. Elsi illinge. Leuuin, the son of Aluuin. 
 The Countess ^Elveva. The Countess Goda. Elsi, the son of 
 Cashin upon Werchessope. Henry de Ferrers upon Ednodes- 
 tune and Dubridge and Breilesfordham. Walter de Aincurt 
 upon Granebi and Mortune and Pinnesleig. Of all these no one 
 could have the | penny of the Earl unless by his consent, and 
 that only as long as he lived, except the Archbishop and Ulf 
 Fenisc and the Countess Godeva. 
 
 Upon the Soke which is at Cliftune, the Earl ought to have 
 the i part of all customs and works.

 The king's under-tenants at Domesday were very few in 
 
 number; perhaps they were purposely omitted. 
 William Peverel kept for the king Edensor, Hope, and Mapelton. 
 Coin held Peverewie. 
 Robert, Tibcel. 
 
72 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 Hildebrand, Aeston and Serdelau. 
 
 In the time of King Edward several of the Royal Princes held 
 
 part of these demesnes. 
 Earl Algar held Bretibi, Middelton, Neutone, Rapendon, Red- 
 
 laveston, Waletune, and Westune. 
 Lewin and Edwin (two of the Princes) held Oneston and 
 
 Normantune ; with Levenet, Leuric held Dentine ; and with 
 
 Chetel, Langelie and Chatworde ; he also alone held 
 
 Chesuuorde and Chetesuarde and Padfeld. 
 Hundolf held Waletune. 
 Ligulf, Langedenedele, Tornsete, and Tibcel. 
 Brun, Lodeuuorde. 
 Caschin, Aiune. 
 Eliner, Ceolchal and Hedfelt. 
 Godric, Chendre and Begele. 
 Stapuline, Maperlie. 
 
 No. II. THE LAND OF THE BISHOP OF CHESTER. 
 
 The Bishop himself held Salle, Draicot, Aitone, and Bubdene. 
 We do not know the value of the great manor of Salle. Sawley 
 was a hundred in itself; nor is the value of Draicot and 
 Opeuuelle given. Eaton was worth £8 ; Bubdene, £7. His 
 only tenant was Ralf fitz Hubert. For Opeuuelle there is no 
 record of any tenant T. R. E. No doubt these manors were 
 then part of the Bishop's possessions. 
 
 No. III. THE TENANTS OF THE ABBOT OF 
 BURTON. 
 
 The Abbot of Burton held the whole of his estate in demesne. 
 He held Ufre, with its berewites ; Parva Ufre, Findre, Potlac 
 and its sokes ; Snellestune, Beruerdescote, Dellingeberie, 
 Hougen, Redesleie, Sudberie, Hiltune and Sudtun, Apelby, 
 Wineshalle, Cotune, Stapenhille, Caldewelle, and Tichenhalle. 
 It was worth altogether ;^22 ; in the time of Edward, £2i3 lOs. 
 Then Earl Algar held two carucates in Cotune ; and Abbot 
 Leuric made over a carucate in Apelby to the Countess Goda ; 
 
BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 73 
 
 whilst Alfric held Caldewelle, which manor, however, did not 
 belong to the Abbey T. R. E., King William having given it to 
 the Monks for his beneficium. 
 
 No. IV. THE EARL OF CHESTER 
 
 Had only a small holding in this County. He had in demesne 
 Merchestone (which had been Earl Siward's, worth only £^) and 
 its berewites of Chenuestun and Macheuorde and Adelardestreu, 
 which Gozelin held of him, and Colle of Gozelin, for los. 8d. 
 yearly. 
 
 No. V. THE LAND OF ROGER POICTOU. 
 
 Of the barony of this great personage we know but little. 
 He was evidently out of favour with the king, for he had his 
 estates in his hands, but not, as it would seem, as an escheat ; for 
 here, as in other places, Roger de Poictou is still styled the 
 tenant-in-capite. The manors were Sutton, Bectune, Lunt, 
 Steinesbi, Tunstal, Blanghesbi, Hertstolf, and Winfeld, and 
 Steinulf held the whole of them T. R. E. but the last, which 
 Elnod then held ; and at the date of Domesday Robert 
 (probably de Heriz) held this manor of Earl Alan, who held it 
 under William Peverel. This manor of South Winefeld was the 
 only one held by Earl Alan (Richmond) in this county. 
 
 No. VL THE TENANTS OF HENRY DE FERRARS. 
 
 The Earl of Ferrars held in demesne fifty-seven manors : — 
 Winbroc, Eltune, Branzintune, Bradburne, Tizincton, Hortedun, 
 Salham, Pilsburie, Lodouuelle, Etelaue, Ednunghalle, Bolun, 
 Linctune, Wivelslei, Stantune, 2 Heorteshornes, Farulveston, 
 Scrotun, Brocton, 2 Holmtune, 2 Sirelie, Braidelei, Meschetune, 
 Faitune, Stretune, Northberie, Roschinton, Duvelle, Bradelei, 
 Holbroc, Muleford, Machenie, Herdibi, Spondune, Pirelaie, 
 Longesdune, Stantune, Barcouere, Hortel, Giolgrave, Middeltune, 
 Gratune, Wruenele, Muchedesuuelle, Barvve, Sorchestun, Erles- 
 tune, Tuiforde, Steintune, Osmundeston, Codetune, Estun, 
 
 Radburne, Ednesovre. 
 II 
 
74 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 The order of these manors is that of Domesday. 
 
 The following are the names of his tenants which are to be found 
 in Domesday, and they, probably, are the very knights, or the 
 ancestors of the 26 knights asserted by William, Earl Ferrars, 
 early in the reign of Henry II., to have been enfeoffeed by 
 Robert de Ferrars, his grandfather, not out of his demesne, but 
 out of that of his father, that is, of Henry de Ferrars of Domesday. 
 (Red Book of the Exchequer.) It must be noted that the attempt 
 to identify them with the families who subsequently held the 
 estates is only tentative. It is made with the full knowledge that 
 great danger of falling into error exists in taking this course, and 
 that very possibly after enquiries will cause an alteration. It is also 
 made with this reserve, that although generally all the manors 
 are grouped under one name, it by no means follows that there 
 were not several persons of the same name, and that is especially 
 probable in the first name which follows ; and it may be the case 
 also, that where the names are separated, the entries properly 
 relate to one person : — 
 
 1. Alcher held Estune, Sudberie, and Somersale. These 3 
 
 manors were held by the Montgomeries subsequently. 
 
 4. Segishale. Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt identifies this place with 
 
 Sedsall, neither of which places are found in Lysons. 
 
 5. Eiton. This manor was held by Tuberville. Wm. fil 
 
 Alcher and Geoffery his son were knights of the Earl of 
 Derby, tempe Henry II. 
 
 2. Alric held Somersale. Probably the same person as Alcher. 
 
 3. Alsi held Gheveli. Probably the same person as Elsin No. 8. 
 
 4. Amalric held Chelardestun and Normanton. The ancestor 
 
 probably of the family of the name of Cheladestun, who 
 became extinct about the time of King John. Robert 
 fil Rich de Normanton was a knight of Earl Ferrars, 
 tempe Henry II. 
 
 5. Ascelin Goisfred held Turalveston. This was probably the 
 
 fee which Robert de Chauces held, tempe Henry I. 
 
 6. Chetel held Moggington. 
 
 7. Cola held Winstune and Geldeslie. Robert, his son, sold 
 
 them to the Monjoies. 
 
BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 7^ 
 
 8. Elsin held Brailsford, the 2 Bubdens, Osmondestune, Torver- 
 
 destune, and Geveley. 
 
 9. Godric held Sothell and Walestune. The first place is clearly 
 
 Shottlein Duffield; and Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt identifies 
 Walestune also with a vill in that great manor. 
 
 10. Gulbert held Chedelestune. Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt identifies 
 
 this place with Kedleston, if that be so, this knight was 
 probably the ancestor of the Curzon family. 
 
 11. Henry held Burnaleveston and Bereuuerdicote. This knight 
 was probably Henry de Cambrics, who is mentioned in the 
 certificates of said Wm. Ferrars, and who attested his 
 charter to Wm. Pantoul. 
 
 1 2. Henry held Morlei. 
 
 13. Herbert held Bradestune. Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt identifies 
 this place with Breaston, Earl Roger de Busli's manor, but 
 this appears to be doubtful. 
 
 14. Hugh held Toxenai. Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt identifies this 
 place with Trusley, and Lysons would identify his descen- 
 dants with Hugh le Arbalaster of the time of Henry H., 
 but at that time Robert de Trusley was a Knight of this 
 Barony, and in Henry L reign William de Trusley, his 
 father, held his fee. 
 
 15. Nigel held Chetune. This was undoubtedly Nigel Albini, 
 
 who married the daughter of Henry de Ferrars. 
 
 16. Orm held Widerdestune, Dulvestune, and Iretune. 
 
 17. Radulf Barchetune and Alchementune. This, no doubt, was 
 de Bakepuz. 
 
 18. Radulf held Snelleston and Cobelai. This is equally clearly 
 the ancestor of the Montgomery family. 
 
 19. Radulf held Benelei. 
 
 20. Robert held Eissi, Hiltune, and Turvadestune. This was 
 
 probably Robert Avenel de Boschville. 
 
 21. Robert held Bradeshelle and Merchenestune. This was 
 
 probably Robert de Dun. 
 
 22. Roger held Crocheshale and Stretton. This was probably 
 
 the ancestor of de Camville, who brought it to Curzon. 
 
 23. Roger held Sapertune, Boilston, Merchenestune. 
 
jQ BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 24. Suan held Collei. Adam fil Swain held it in the time of 
 
 Henry II. 
 
 25. Saswalo held Hoge, Hatune, and Etewell. His sons Henry 
 
 and Fulc held 9 manors tempe Henry I., and in the reign of 
 his grandson they were held hy the co-heirs of Henry, yet 
 the Heralds claim these Knights as the ancestors of the 
 noble house of Shirley. 
 
 26. Wazelin (Wachiline) held Sutton. 
 
 27. William held Sedenefield. Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt identifies 
 
 this place with Sinfin. If this be so, the probability is that 
 this William is the ancestor of the family of Toke, of whom 
 both William and Humfrey flourished in the reign of 
 Henry II. 
 
 No. VII. THE TENANTS OF WILLIAM PEVEREL. 
 
 William Peverel himself held the land of the Forest of 
 Pechefers, which Gernebern and Hundinc held T. R. E. Brade- 
 welle, which Leuing, Sprot, and Owini held; Heselbec and 
 Leitun, which Lewine held ; and Hochelai, Habenai, and 
 Waterfeld, which Ernui, Hundulf, Uluric, Suuan, and Lewine had 
 held, at that period they were waste. 
 
 Robert (de Heriz .') held Bolsover, which Leuric had held. 
 T. R. E. Silo (de Pleslie .') held Glapwelle, also held by Leuric ; 
 Drogo held Esnotrewic formerly Aldene's ; Edwin held Norman- 
 ton, formerly Elfag's ; and Warner (de Insula?) held Sireland 
 Uftune, Cotenoure, Hainoure, Langeleleie, and Sraithcote, part 
 of which Leuric had held ; and the rest, which 8 Thanes formerly 
 held.

 in demesne. T. R. E. Swain Cilt the younger had held all but 3 
 and \ bovates and 4 acres, which Wade held.

 Winstanestune, Brandune, Wadescel, Pinneslei, Caldecotes, 
 Wilelmstorpe, with Soke in Winefelt and Toptune, Holmesfelt, 
 
BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 'j'j 
 
 Helmetune, and Holtune. They contained together 6 car. 4 bov.,

 tune, Emboldestune, Torulfdestune and Aleuuoldestune, Ednod- 
 estune and Hoilant, Ochebroke and Breaston, all which Tochi 
 held. T. R. E. Azelinus (Anselin or Lanceline, his chief tenant 
 in Nottingham) held Eghintune, which Tochi also held, and 
 Etewelle, formerly held by Dunstan. It measured 22 carucates 
 and I bovate altogether, besides the waste, of which there was 
 probably much, for its value had been £2<^ T. R. E., now it was 
 only worth £\6 19s. 6d. 
 
 No. X. THE LAND OF HUBERT FITZ RALE. 
 
 He held in demesne 12 manors with their berewites — Echinton, 
 Moresburg, Bettune, Ougedeston, Middelton, Heresage with its 
 berewites, Banford, Heret, half Offerton, two parts of Middletune,

 Ripley, and Pentrice, Bareuue, and Werradune. 
 
 1. Robert (de Meinel T), his chief tenant held for 5 Knights' fees 
 
 7 manors in Barlburg, Witeuuelle, Clune, 2 Stratunes, Teges- 
 ton, and Henelege, which Levenet and Lewric, the princes 
 before mentioned, held T. R. E. 
 
 2. Goisfred (de Ridel T) held Dachemanestun, which Leuenet 
 
 held, and which afterwards Geoffry Ridel, the son of 
 Richard Basset, held by inheritance of the old feoffment. 
 
 3. Raynouard held Paltreton, Scardecliff, and Tunestal. 
 
 4. Ralf (fil Eudo ?) held Newtone and Crich and Scochetorpe.

 T. R. E. 
 
 6. Leuinc held Wistanestune, soc to Crich. 
 
 7. Nigel held Uffretune with its Berewic in Pentrice. 
 
 8. Colle held Boltune.

 No. XI. THE LAND OF RALF DE BURUN. 
 
 Ralf de Burun had but a small holding in Derbyshire, only 
 between 7 and 8 carucates worth £"] ids., which Ulsi, Turgar, 
 Osmond, and Dunstun had held T. R. E. He held in demesne 
 Horslee, Halun, and Herdibi. Westune was held of him by 
 Gulbert, and a knight unnamed held Denebi. 
 
 No. Xn. THE LAND OF ASCUIT MUSARD. 
 
 He also had only a small Barony in this county, of which 
 Staveley was the head, the whole of which he held in demesne. 
 It consisted besides of Barleie, Holun, Wadecel, and Brantune, 
 and part of Chinewolde Marsh. His holding was nearly similar 
 in size and value to that of Ralf de Burun. 
 
 Hacon, Dunninc Bramuine, and Aluuold were the tenants 
 T. R. E. 
 
 No. XIII. THE LAND OF GILBERT DE GAND. 
 
 Ilkeston, Halun, Stanton and Shipley comprised this small 
 Barony, and the whole of it was held under the Earl by Malger 
 (no doubt his steward of Rolleston), and the ancestor of that 
 family. Ulf Fenisc, Brun, and Odincar held it T. R. E. 
 
 No. XIV. THE LAND OF NIGEL DE STAFFORD. 
 
 This Baron had no under-tenants. He kept the whole of the 
 manors in demesne. It contained altogether 14 carucates and 3 
 bovates, and was then worth £6 14s. 6d. Some of the manors 
 were valued at a nominal rate — one at 4d., another 2d., — so that 
 they were probably greatly wasted. The names of his manors 
 were Drackelowe, the head of the Barony, Hethcote, Stapenhill, 
 Suardingecotes, Fornewerche, Engelbi, Tichenhalle, Smidesbi, 
 Ravenestun, Durandstorp, Achetorp, Trangesby, and the tenants 
 T. R. E. were Godric, Elric, Ulchel, Eduin, Ernuin, and Elnod. 
 
 No. XV. THE LAND OF ROBERT FITZ WILLIAM 
 
 Consisted only of the manor of Stanley, which Ursar held 
 T. R. E., of the value of only los. 
 
BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 No. XVI. THE LAND OF ROGER DE BUSLI. 
 
 79 
 
 This great Nottingham and Yorkshire Baron had only one 
 manor, Rvgetorn, in demesne in this county. His chief tenant, 
 Ingram, held Norton and Elstretvne, which formerly Morcar's 
 (the Earl) Godeva (the Countess) and Bada held. Leuuine held 
 Bretune and Dore, which Swain (of Colley ?) and Eduuin formerly 
 held ; and Fulco held Braidestune and Riseleia, formerly held by 
 Leuuine, Ligulf, and Godric. 
 
 ^bc Mng's ^banes. 
 
 The King's Thanes were few in number, only 19, and some of 
 them did not hold the estates they formerly possessed. The 
 manors they held' were neither important nor numerous, but 
 several of them will be found holding manors under Norman 
 Lords, with many others of their nation. 
 
 1. Alden held Ulwritune, which Alun formerly held. 
 
 2. Algar held Ednunghall. 
 
 3. Dolfin held Topton and Taptune, which Bada formerly held.

 Note. — The modem names of many of these manors are 
 offered, but with great hesitation. For some of them proofs will 
 be given hereafter in the Parochial History ; for others, the author 
 relies upon the writings of Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt, Lysons, Eyton, 
 and Wolley, and other Derbyshire historians ; especially the 
 first-mentioned, whose valuable work upon Domesday has been 
 frequently referred to with advantage. The fear, however, is 
 entertained that far too many of the derivations here given 
 are mere guesses, and, as such, liable to error. County 
 Historians, as a rule, are too anxious to identify places, and 
 too ready to adopt any similarity in sound as proof of identity 
 in name. But it should be remembered that many Domesday 
 manors were waste even at that time, . and that many more 
 must have become so since ; and the very site of some of such 
 places is lost, and that, on the other hand, manors were 
 frequently created down to the date of the statute which prohibi- 
 ted subinfeudation, and, also, that often old names (those of their 
 lords) were given to them. And, above all, it must be borne 
 in mind that nearly half the names of the present places in 
 Derbyshire are not mentioned in Domesday — some of them 
 now, and perhaps then, large towns, such as Belper, Matlock, 
 Borrowash, Butterley, Chapel-en-le -Frith, Clay Cross, Pleasley, 
 and scores of others, many of which, no doubt, existed, at 
 any rate as villa, before Domesday, but were not visited by the 
 Commissioners, because it was known that they paid no hide. 
 It is considered certain that the Commissioners had written 
 
BOOK OF DOMESDAY. §7 
 
 instructions to guide them. It is difficult to believe that 
 Chesterfield is identical with the small place mentioned in 
 Domesday, a mere Berewic of Newbold ; or that Alfreton is 
 to be found under the name of Elstreton. Both were probably 
 
 important stations even at that date, but for some cause 
 
 perhaps they were the head-quarters of different members of the 
 royal family, or of some court favourite— they were especially 
 exempted. With regard to Alfreton, it is tolerably clear that 
 Roger de Busli succeeded here, as well as elsewhere, to the 
 possessions of Earl Morcar and the Countess Godiva, who held 
 Alfreton and Norton ; and these two small places comprised the 
 Barony of Ingelram, whose son Ranulf was Sheriff of Notting- 
 ham and Derby. Yet Elstreton, of Domesday, was assessed 
 at 30s. (it had previously been 20s.), and Norton at is. 6d. Is 
 it possible that so small a holding could have formed the 
 barony of so important a person as Ranulf fil Ingleram ? 
 Again, Peak Castle is not assessed at all, although the land, 
 about it, is assessed at 40s. ; and a castle at Bolsover is not even 
 mentioned. But it is clear from the geographical position of 
 both places (as from the actual mention of Peak), that both 
 were great strongholds at this period, and long previously. 
 These facts should prevent a too rash acceptance of an identity. 
 Besides, it must be recollected that frequently the same names 
 were given to more than one place, especially to newly-created 
 manors, and that we have now perhaps only knowledge of one 
 of them. 
 
 A curious instance of the danger of rashly accepting a 
 possible identity exists in the case of Abney. Every Derbyshire 
 historian without exception identifies it with Henry Fen-ars' 
 wasted manor of Habenai, which, with other places, was wasted 
 (probably purposely) for the chase. But actual proof exists in 
 numerous charters, of the Abney family, that their name, and 
 the name of the manor, was Albini, a family who had but little 
 connection with the County at this early period, and whose 
 name has no affinity with Habenai. 
 
 With reference to Chesterfield, it is quite clear that there 
 were two places of this name in Derbyshire. Of this we have 
 actual proof in that most valuable record, " The Testa de 
 Nevil." But the lesser Chesterfield is lost. The Testa records 
 " That there was one carucate in Chesterfield in Wingerworth, 
 
88 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 anciently of the soke of Chesterfield," and it was given to the 
 ancestor of Wachiline de Ferrars by King William the Bastard. 
 Now, it might have been contended that Chesterfield was a 
 berewite of Wingerworth before it became a berewite of 
 Newbold. But that is impossible in face of the finding of the 
 jury that formerly the Chesterfield in Wingerworth was of the 
 soke of Chesterfield : that is, that the smaller Chesterfield was 
 a member of the latter. It is a curious fact that Wingerworth 
 itself, at Domesday, was not recorded as a member of Chesterfield, 
 as it is now esteemed ; that record states that it had a soke of 
 its own. In later times it is treated as a chapelry of Chesterfield, 
 and ecclesiastical reasons may account for this fact. Again, 
 Chesterfield had a church, for William Rufus gave it to Lincoln. 
 Very possibly the bishop had the town as well. It is im- 
 probable that a mere berewite to Newbold would have one. 
 Wm. Rufus gave the church of Chesterfield, with those of 
 Mansfield, and two other manors ; and he actually includes the 
 lands and chapels which belonged to each of those four manors 
 (calling them manors in the document). It is clear that the 
 second Chesterfield, which was then soke to the greater, was not 
 the berewite of Newbold, or it would have been described as of 
 the soke of that place ; and it is clear, also, that Chesterfield at 
 the time of Domesday was an important place, holding eccle- 
 siastical sway over many surrounding places, including Newbold 
 itself, just as it does at the present day. So, too, with 
 regard to Eckington, it is hardly likely that this important 
 manor, the head of Ralf fitz Hubert's barony, which Domes- 
 day records contained four carucates, and had been worth 
 £'], was identical with the berewite of that name in Newbold. 
 Newbold, with seven berewites, including Chesterfield, had only 
 seven carucates, and had been worth only £6, although then 
 the relative values had altered. Besides, the fact that Eckington 
 was recorded separately as a manor, is sufficient to show it is 
 a different place altogether from the Newbold berewite. If 
 that were situated in Eckington Manor, it would have been 
 described, not as a berewite, but as a soke of Newbold in 
 Eckington. This second Eckington may be found somewhere 
 else. The learned reader must therefore accept these possible 
 derivations as intended generally to identify the name and not 
 the place.

 FROM THE EARLIEST PERIOD TO THE END OF THE REIGN OF KING EDWARD I. 
 
 CHAPTER II. 
 
 After Domesday, the most valuable series of documents relating 
 
 to county history is the Pipe Rolls, and the Rolls for the County 
 
 of Derby are, generally, in no way inferior to those of other 
 
 counties. They are mixed up so inextricably with those portions 
 
 relating to the County of Nottingham that no attempt can be 
 
 made to separate them ; their value is immense, yet hitherto no 
 
 use has been made of them in developing the history of this 
 
 county. Lysons has extracted largely from many series of Public 
 
 Records, but, like others, he has neglected these sources, and yet 
 
 they are the very buttresses of manorial and genealogical history. 
 
 The meaning of the term Pipe Roll is involved in obscurity ; 
 
 and the several suggestions which have been made are generally 
 
 obscure, and sometimes even ridiculous. It may be hazarded, 
 
 that it is a contraction of the word pipulum— a scolding, a railing, 
 
 or, as is commonly said, a rating. The accounts of the nation 
 
 are here rated, arranged, controlled, and these Rolls are strictly 
 
 applied to this purpose. 
 
 13 
 
90 THE PIPE ROLLS. 
 
 They contain the national accounts, in fact the annual Budget ; 
 the Sheriffs of each county, and those great lords who had baili- 
 wicks of their own (quasi regal control over their tenants), here 
 account to the Exchequer for all aid, taxes, scutages, reliefs, fee 
 farm rents, fines, and amercements ; and those who are entitled to 
 them here claiming their exemptions, or their charges for work 
 performed for the county or for the King or Kingdom ; we 
 occasionally get items of royal expenditure, and frequently 
 scraps of family history, which are procurable from no other 
 source. 
 
 One of the most important series of items consists of the 
 returns made by the Sheriffs upon the assessment of juries, with 
 the aid of the Knights of the County and the Justices Itinerant, 
 of the amounts payable for scutage. For many years there 
 appears to have been no change in the mode of assessment, 
 and the record was made up from the valuation of Domesday ; 
 at all events we have no information respecting any. 
 
 The first occasion where a detailed account of the scutage is 
 given is upon the marriage of the King's eldest daughter, which 
 was made about the 15th year of Henry II. This has given rise to 
 the mistake, which is almost universal among genealogists, that 
 it is the date of the certificates of Knights of the Red Book ; but 
 these certificates were given periodically, and some of those con- 
 tained in the Red Book are as late as the time of Richard I., or, 
 possibly, of King John ; indeed they only end when the scutages 
 and Knights' certificates of the so-called Testa de Nevil begin. 
 The line cannot be drawn very sharply between these books ; but 
 it may be said generally of the Red Book that it contains 
 abstracts of all the returns prior to the great fiscal changes of 
 Archbishop Hubert Walter of 1 198, and that the Testa de Nevil 
 contains all those from that period down to the 31st Edward I., 
 when the Book of Aids commences. 
 
 There is no evidence of any change in the Scutage Rolls 
 (omitting a remarkable collection of Forest amercements in the 
 22nd year of this King), until the 33rd, when we do not have 
 particulars of a general scutage, but only of the Knights' fees of 
 those who did not go with the King's army into Gascony. 
 From this it has been contended, even by Madox, that a scutage 
 was only payable by those who did not go out with the army ; 
 but the fact that those who did not pay were excused, and some-

 times because they were with the army, shows that the excuse 
 was an exception ; besides there was no compensating service on 
 the occasion of a knighthood or a wedding. No account is given 
 in the reign of Henry II. of the aid for Knighting the King's 
 elder sons, or of the ordinary collection. 
 
 In King Richard's reign we have 3 scutages extraordinary, the 
 first of which only was regular, that of the redemption of the 
 King in the 6th year of his reign. He had no eldest son to 
 knight or daughter to marry, but acting upon this precedent, 
 he appears to have levied two additional ones, and, not content 
 with this, he, by the aid of Archbishop Hubert, inaugurated an 
 entirely new system of taxation, designed to get rid of the 
 abuses which had crept in, and by which the Crown was practi- 
 cally defrauded of its rights. Instances of the amount of these 
 deductions may be found at pages 20 and 21 of the Introduction 
 to Domesday. 
 
 King John, of course, followed his brother's example, and 
 harassed his subjects with repeated impositions, until Magna 
 Charta compelled him to refrain from doing so, except in the 
 three cases before-mentioned, which the ancient English law 
 prior to the Conquest allowed as the three necessities of the 
 Crown. 
 
 There can be but little doubt that inquisitions were made only 
 at long intervals, and that the same return was utilised for the 
 purpose of several scutages. This is clear, from the fact that in 
 the scutages so made the names of Knights who were dead are 
 frequently retained for many years, to the great confusion of the 
 genealogists, who have too frequently relied upon the fact that the 
 name is to be found in a particular Roll, and therefore assumed 
 that the person was living at the period. If a fresh name occurs, 
 that is proof of a change of tenants and of the existence of 
 the person named at that period, but in the other case it 
 may be only proof that the scutage lists have not been 
 reformed. 
 
 The whole of these Rolls, with the exception of the first, are 
 properly dated, and this constitutes their chief value. They form 
 the back-bone of history — a correct chronology. The first alone 
 is in doubt, and, seeing that it is imperfect, and probably made up 
 of various fragments, it can only positively be asserted of it that 
 it is about the date of the end of the reign of Henry I., or the 
 
92 THE PIPE ROLLS. 
 
 beginning of that of King Stephen, i.e., from the year 1131 to 
 
 II3S- 
 These Rolls, fortunately, contain a great variety of entries, the 
 
 dates of which may be absolutely relied upon ; of such are the 
 grants by the Crown to particular persons, the payment of reliefs, 
 the amercements for offences, the payment of fees and fines for 
 especial purposes. And these entries are of the greatest value to 
 the historian. Owing to the fact that Charters were generally 
 undated prior to the reign of King Edward II., and that they 
 can only be dated by means of the era of the several witnesses, 
 the greatest confusion is made by the best-intentioned genealo- 
 gists ; but with the aid of the Pipe Rolls the history of almost 
 every witness of note may be ascertained, and an approximate 
 date obtained for the Charter, the date of which is in issue. 
 After that period Charters are generally dated, and the impor- 
 tance of having a full abstract of these Rolls ceases. 
 
 For this reason alone these Rolls are worth abstracting ; since 
 they will aid every genealogist treating of Derbyshire History, 
 and in aid of the composition of this book they are invaluable, 
 for they test with unerring accuracy the forgeries and blundering 
 pedigrees which have so long been foisted upon the county. 
 
 Of course these pages will not supply all the information, or 
 even all the names recorded ; and it should be stated that they 
 were not extracted with a view to publication — the author only 
 made them for his own work, but finding them of such great 
 value, and being pressed to print them, he has done so. It will 
 be found that they give a tolerable abstract, and afford to those 
 desiring to pursue the enquiry an opportunity of doing so with 
 the least amount of trouble. 
 
 A great number of these entries appear year after year in the 
 Rolls. Generally only one entry is given, for, as a rule, the 
 repetition simply means that the amercement or scutage was not 
 paid, and therefore it was carried over to the next account. The 
 person obliged to pay possibly was dead or banished an outlaw, 
 and, perhaps, he never paid. The first charge is always adopted if 
 possible, and generally it is the only one given. It must not be 
 taken, therefore, that the same name is not repeated in the Rolls, 
 or that other names are not to be found. To give more than an 
 abstract of these Rolls would occupy too much space. It may 
 be noted, for the convenience of genealogists, that M.-Gen. the

 Honourable G. Wrottesley has done this work for the County of 
 Stafford (pubhshed by the WiUiam Salt Society). It was his 
 excellent example which chiefly induced the author to give this 
 abstract ; and it is to be hoped that other workers may be found 
 to publish accounts for other counties. These publications are of 
 value for all counties alike. General Wrottesley's work is of the 
 greatest value in aid of Derbyshire history, and it is to be hoped 
 that this account will be equally valuable for other counties. 
 
 It will be noticed that in transcribing the names the author 
 has not pursued an uniform course. In a work like that of the 
 Pipe Roll Society it is essential to give a photograph, so to 
 speak, of the original ; but in one of this nature it would only 
 create unnecessary difficulty to record every error in spelling 
 which the scribes of these Rolls have fallen into, for these 
 variations are merely errors, and are of no value in the sense of 
 well-known names, although it may be important to preserve 
 them in those less known. In the latter case, therefore, the 
 name is given as it is written ; but in such well-known names as 
 Ferrars, Beauchamp, Belvoir, etc., one uniform mode is given, 
 whether it is to be found in the Roll itself; and when only the 
 name is given, it may be assumed that the context is of no 
 value in the history of the individual. 
 
 Again, no attempt in the case of names but little known is 
 made to complete them, and the letters of the original are set 
 out as accurately as possible, leaving it to the learned reader to 
 extend them for himself, and. to determine their identity with 
 other forms of the same name.

 OSBERT Sylvan was Sheriff this year, and he rendered an 
 account of ^^68 los. 5d. blanc, and of ii'23 i8s. 5d. tale for the 
 old farm. In the Treasury, £6^ los. 5d. bl., and £2^ i8s. 5d. 
 tale, and for the new farm for the half-year in the Treasury, 
 .^10 7s. 2d. He also paid 7 marcs that he might hold in capite 
 one fee, which was William fil Gaufry's. 
 
 He accounted for Danegelt ;^78 13s. gd. £2^ 13s. id. was 
 excused, and he held £^ 2s. 8d. in hand. He' also accounted 
 for the Burgess Aid, ;^I3 5s. 
 
 Note. — He was probably a grandson of Joceus le Fleming, 
 who accompanied the Conqueror to England, and obtained the 
 Lordship of Cuckney, in Notts. Some of his descendants settled 
 at Thorpe, in Yorkshire. 
 
 I. — Alan, Jordan fitz, paid lOOs. for the farm of Clipston for 
 the past year. (This was in Nottinghamshire, part of the 
 escheated fee of the great Roger de Busli. This baron was 
 Lord of Tuxford, and he held part of the fee of Roger de Busli.) 
 He also owed one Dextria (war horse) worth ^20 Rennes, for 
 which John de Maries was pledge, and he was excused the 
 payment of 12s. Danegeld. 
 
 2. — Busli Jordan accounted for £4. concerning the plea of 
 Ralf Bass. (This was probably a relation, if not the same 
 person.) 
 
 3. — Bass, Ralf and Rich, besides the plea just mentioned. 
 Swen de Porter owed lOOs., on his suit. 
 
 Richard Bass paid £7 19s., and was excused the payment in 
 
THE PIPE ROLLS. 95 
 
 the Mansfield district of 5s. 4d., and of the sum of ^i 9s. los. 
 Danegelt. 
 
 Note. — This name Bass is used as an abbreviation of Baos or 
 Bayeaux, as well as sometimes of a different name — Basset — 
 both of which families settled in the county. The former is 
 the same name as that borne by the present family of Burton- 
 upon-Trent. 
 
 4. — Barrett or Barre, Ralf, accounted for £\2 9s. 4d. for part 
 of the old farm of Odo fitz Ralf. 
 
 Note. — It is not very clear what was meant by the expression, 
 " the old farm." Sometimes it means (in the Pipe Rolls), arrears 
 or accounts of old standing ; but here probably it is used as an 
 equivalent of the words, " old feoffment." 
 
 That phrase, as we use it, means a feoffment made in the reign 
 of Henry I., though perhaps it is sometimes used in the sense of 
 a grant made to an ancestor. At any rate, the Editors of the 
 Pipe Roll Society so use it. But although the Statutes of 
 Limitations and their relation to legal memory shifted almost 
 with every reign, there has been no " old feoffment " since the 
 death of Henry I. If this is the meaning here, it would seem 
 to show that this portion of the Roll was of the reign of King 
 Stephen. But that can scarcely be insisted upon, and it most 
 probably referred to a grant prior to the commencement of the 
 reign of Henry I., or to one made upon the death of Hubert 
 (or Odo) fitz Ralf. 
 
 This family held Teversholt, of the fee of Hubert fitz Ralf, 
 from this early period until the reign of Henry VI., when an 
 heiress carried it to the Greenhows, and ultimately to the 
 ancient family of Molineux. William de Gresley made a con- 
 vention concerning land with Rad Barre at this period. 
 
 5. — Baldricus was excused payment of 4s. in Mansfield. 
 
 6. — Bassett, Richard, was excused payment of 7s. 8d., probably 
 in Scarclive. Possibly he was the same person as Richard 
 Bass. 
 
 7. — Belfago, Ralf, was excused los. Danegelt. 
 
 8. — Bisset, William, was excused los. Danegelt. 
 
 9. — Bilburc, Herbert, was excused his payment to Danegelt. 
 
 Note. — This name is written Bireburg, but no doubt it was that 
 Herbert of Bilburgh who gave lands to Peverel's foundation of 
 Lenton in 1102, and whose daughters and co-heirs were respec- 
 tively, Emma, who had Gunolveston and Kilomersh, in Derby- 
 shire ; and Ivicia, who had Molinton, in Northamptonshire, and 
 
96 THE PIPE ROLLS. 
 
 Bilburg. Emma married Ivo, son of Robert de Heris, whose 
 posterity long were lords of South Wingfield, Tibshelf, Gonolds- 
 ton, and Widmerpol, and other places in Derbyshire. Ivicia 
 married one Aman, of Nottingham. This family is of very 
 great interest to Derbyshire history, especially with regard to 
 the Manor of Bilburg, which was the subject of a law suit in the 
 time of King John between Robert fitz Aman and Walter de 
 Riebof, who called Simon de Kime to warranty, which Robert 
 claimed to be the grandson and heir of Ivicia. Simon de Kime 
 produced a charter of Henry II. to his grandfather, Simon fil 
 William, granting this manor to him, and it remained in his 
 family, Philip de Kime holding it in the time of Edward I. 
 
 10. — Cauz, Robert de, William de Luvitot, accounted, at the 
 plea of G. de Clinton, for the large sum of £226 in respect 
 of the land which Robert de Calz had with his mother 
 (an unusual expression), from which it might appear that he 
 had married the mother of G. Clinton ; though it may mean 
 that Robert de Cauz had purchased the marriage of his own 
 mother. Geoffry de Clinton, who was a chamberlain of Henry 
 I., only sued officially. Robert de Cauz also paid 200 m. 
 argent, for which he had been impleaded at Blythe ; and 
 with Walter his son he paid 100 marcs of silver and one 
 of gold for the concession of the land of Leowin Chidde 
 (the younger). The history of this baron has hitherto remained 
 involved in impenetrable obscurity. From after records we know 
 that he possessed a portion of the fees of Gaufred Anselin, 
 Ralf Hanselin, who is mentioned in this Roll, only succeeding to 
 part of them, and these entries probably have reference to that 
 transaction. 
 
 1 1. — Clinton, Gauf de, was excused 4d. at the Treasury at 
 Mansfield, and 67s. 8d. Danegeld, and he seems to have 
 impleaded concerning 30 marks, with Martin de Wateleya 
 46s. 8d., and with Robt. de Calz for £226, and in Rutland he 
 was excused 28s. lod. Danegeld.

 Wachiline, was excused a payment of 2s. Danegeld.

 1 8. — Filtham, Hugo, paid for a writ concerning his father's 
 lands. 
 
 Note.— This was probably through Hugh Bretel, whose 
 ultimate heiress, Agatha, daughter of Hugh, married Galfrid 
 Monachus tempe King John, the ancestor of the Musters family, 
 and afterwards she married King John's cook, Magister Hum- 
 phrey. 
 
 19.— Gaufred, Will fil, 17 m. for the whole of his father's lands. 
 (It appears, however, that Osbert Sylvain, the Sheriff, paid 7 m. 
 for a knight's fee of this barony.) 
 
 20. — Gresley, William (see Ralf Barr, No. 4). 
 
 21. — Hanselin, Ralf (see Robert de Cauz, No. 10). He 
 accounted for cc. m. arg., and i m. in gold, for relief for his 
 father's lands. 
 
 22. — Harper, Will le, 5 marcs for a writ of right concerning his 
 lands. 
 
 23. — Heriz, Ivo de (it would seem that he had been Sheriff 
 in the previous year for a half year), rendered composition of 
 47s. 2d. for the rents of the manors of the County, £2"] 5s. 5d. 
 of the old farm, and £\i^ Os. gd. blanc for the old farm, and 
 5 dextrias that he should hold in fee-farm the land of Wilgebi. 
 The King acquitted him of two of the dextrias at Winchester, 
 Teste, Mile de Gloucester, and he acquitted himself against the 
 king of three in Normandy. 
 
 24. — Ingelram, Ranulf fil (no doubt the Sheriff of Nottingham 
 of the time of Henry II.), was excused 4s. at Mansfield, and 
 4s. Sd. in the Scarsdale wapentake, and paid 10 m. that he might 
 have his land as it was before it was distrained, and he impleaded 
 Hugh Sampson, who accounted for 15 marcs. (This was pro- 
 bably Norton and Alfreton and Marnham.) 
 
 25. — Luzors, Robert, £Z 6s. 8d. for the old farm of Odo fil 
 Ralf, and 2 m. of gold on a plea of extortion (accipitrum). He 
 was also fined that he might marry the sister of Ilbert de Lacy.

98 THE PIPE ROLLS. 
 
 26. — Luvitot, Hugo, paid 20 marcs for a breach of the peace 
 with the knights of Roger de Molbray. Adam Tison, the great 
 knight of Roger de Mowbray, also rendered compensation of 
 10 marcs respecting the duel between himself and the knight of 
 Hugh Luvitot. 
 
 William de Luvitot compounded for the farm of Blythe for 
 half a year £2.1 9s. 4d., and for the entertainment of the King of 
 Scotland 43s. 5d., and for the great sum paid by Robert de Calz 
 for his mother's land. 
 
 Note. — This tenant succeeded Roger de Busli in the chief 
 part of his fee, and he would seem to have been Sheriff for 
 possibly the other half of the previous year, or perhaps the year 
 previously. 
 
 27. — The Bishop of Lincoln was excused payment of 28s. 
 Danegeld. 
 
 28. — Lerec, Osbert de, paid 4 marcs for the land which justly 
 belonged to the Church of Blythe. 
 
 29. — Monks of Nottingham were excused payment of 25s. 
 Danegeld. 
 
 30. — Maisnille, Gilbert de, paid £%o on account of the old 
 farm of Odo fitz Ralf (Hubert fitz Ralf). (Proof that for some 
 reason this last fitz Ralf's barony was in the king's hands. This 
 family may claim a pedigree reaching within a few years from 
 Domesday.) He also paid 20s. for his brother's land, and lO 
 marks for the king's permission for him to marry. 
 
 31. — Misterton, Ernewi, 10 m. for a writ concerning his land.

 33. — Osgot, Presbiter, of Dronfield, 60s. on a plea. 
 
 34 — Peverel, William de, Nottingham, rendered composition 
 of ^23 6s. 8d. for the pleas of the forest, and was excused 
 payment of 54s. and 8d., and Adeline, his mother, was excused 
 1 8s. Danegeld, Hamon Peverel being excused a similar pay- 
 ment of 20s.

 PIRARIO Robert was sheriff for this year. 
 
 The sheriffs rendered composition of £10 Ss. 4d. of the old 
 farm. In the Treasury, £6 8s., and he owes 77s. and 4d., blanc. 
 (This is, doubtless, of the farm of the time of King Stephen.) 
 He also accounted for £$0 8s. for assarts. 
 
 Note. — This entry is curious ; an assart was a piece of land 
 enclosed, and won from the forest ; but this seems an enormous 
 sum to allow for such property. Possibly Stephen had been 
 lax with regard to forest rights in Derbyshire. We shall find, 
 presently. King Henry H. exacting an enormous sum from the 
 county, probably for this cause, in the 22nd year of his reign, 
 and occasionally very large sums at other periods. 
 
 The Archbishop of York was excused a payment of £24, the 
 Earl of Ferrars of 100 shillings, and the Earl of Flanders of the 
 same sum. 
 
 The sheriff still owed £16 8s. — ^5 los. in respect of the lands 
 of John Lupus, 42s. for the lands of Normar and Hemitar, and 
 £6 1 6s. for the lands of the sheriff himself 
 
 Note. — R. Pirario was, apparently, a knight of the Earl de 
 Ferrars, and acted as his steward. The Red Book of the 
 Exchequer, fol. 185, gives a short but erroneous account for this 
 year, showing how valueless is that book except when it is fully 
 corroborated. It states that R. Pirario accounted by the writ 
 of the Bishop of Lincoln, and gives the amount of assarts at 
 
100 THE PIPE ROLLS. 
 
 ;^9S los. The believers in the value of the Red Book quote 
 this return as evidence of a Pipe Roll for this year. It is, 
 however, obviously made up from the next Roll.

 Ranulf FIL Engleram, Lord of Norton and Alfreton, Roger 
 de Bush's tenant, was sheriff this year. He is, with good reason, 
 supposed to be descended from Ingram, the Domesday holder of 
 these manors. Robert, the son of this Ranulf, founded the 
 Abbey of Beauchief in honour of St. Thomas the Martyr, and 
 a great deal of unnecessary learning has been expended in an 
 endeavour to fasten upon this good man's memory the stigma 
 of actual participation in the murder of Thomas a Beckett, by 
 identifying him with another Robert fil Ranulf, the son of Ranulf 
 de Broc. The history of that Ranulf is not a matter of doubt. 
 He was, beyond all controversy, Ranulf, son of Owen Porcel, a 
 Welshman, who obtained several knights' fees from the Earl of 
 Arundel by marriage with the heiress of Gorram. The author has 
 given a full account of him in his work of the House of Arundel, 
 and only refers to the matter here to dispel any doubt upon the 
 subject, and this is necessary since so learned a writer as the late 
 Dean Stanley has countenanced this view. If the descent of 
 Robert fil Ranulf be discarded, a very serious blow would be 
 struck at the proof of nearly every great pedigree in the kingdom, 
 since we are accustomed to regard these proofs, which in their 
 proper place will be duly advanced, as absolutely irrefragable. 
 
 Ranulf fil Engelram rendered composition for the farm of 
 Nottingham and Derby — £\2^ 14s. id.

 per Frog, Arch, de, ;^ii 13s. lod.. Also lands given to Robert 
 fil Hugh, in Claword, H2s. 
 
 Note. — This was land of ancient demesne, and it appears 
 to have been regranted to this family on several occasions. 
 Their chief residence was in Hartshill, Warwickshire. In 
 I John this grant was repeated to William, son of Hugh, for 
 the same sum. In 6 Henry III. William de Hardreshill (or 
 Hartshill) fined with the king for having the town of Claworth, 
 which concerned him as his inheritance ; and in 10 Henry III.' 
 Robert de Hartshill fined for his relief, and had the lands which 
 William, his father, held of the king in capite in Claworth. 
 About the reigns of King John and Henry III. many of the 
 manors of the ancient demesne of the crown were granted out 
 as if they belonged to the king himself. William Briwere, the 
 great judge and regent of Richard I., obtained for himself the 
 honour of Chesterfield in the same way, holding it by 
 knightservice, instead of at a fee-farm rent; and in 31 Henry III. 
 William de Hardeshill exchanged the fee-farm rent of 112s. for 
 a mewed sparhawk, a common payment for a fee. It would 
 seem that the D'Aubinis held Claworth of Robert de Hartshill 
 as late as the reign of Richard II. In a suit in the time of 
 Edward I. the ancestor of Robert de Hartshill is called Robert 
 de Austric. It has been contended that this family are identical 
 with the Herthills of Ashborn, but this seems doubtful. 
 
 Avenel, Gervase, paid 20 marcs for the land of Basselaw 
 (Baslow). This is a portion of the king's (ancient demesne) 
 manor of Ashford, which was part of the king's manor of 
 Bakewell, of which Robert de Ferrars had the farm at the time 
 of the first great Roll of the Pipe, and probably much earlier. 
 This entry would seem to show that at this period the two 
 manors were kept separate, as we shall see this manor also 
 came to be considered the inheritance of the Avenels. 
 
 Buron, Roger, owed 40 marcs for the relief of his lands. 
 
 Luvetot, Richard, paid 20 m. for his marriage, and i trained 
 Norr, and i Gerfalcon. 
 
 The following persons were excused payment this year for 
 Danegeld : — The Bishop of Lincoln, 25s. ; Henry Hose, 5s. ;

 In Flora, the land of Robert fil Swain (Sawini), 30s. ; excused 
 Nigel de Broc, 2 m. ; the monks of Gerolden, los. 
 
 Note. — There is a charter (printed in the "Records of Notting- 
 ham ") being a confirmation to the Palmers of Nottingham of 
 certain land given them by Robert de St. Remigio to establish a 
 hospital for entertaining poor men for the repose of the soul of 
 Richard de St. Remigio, his brother (no doubt the person 
 mentioned above), which was confirmed by Geoffrey, Archdeacon 
 of Canterbury 1162-74, to which a famous Nottingham knight, 
 Ralf fitz Stephen, was also a witness. 
 
 Comparing these entries with those of the first great Roll of 
 the Pipe, we are met by this remarkable fact, which shows 
 conclusively that they were quite apart as to date, that, with 
 the exception of the sheriff, Ranulf fitz Ingram, there is not one 
 single person who is mentioned in both Rolls ; and we cannot 
 be quite sure that even in this solitary instance, as fitz Ingram 
 came to be a surname, that we have not here two persons, 
 successors to the same estate, father and son, or possibly 
 brethren. 
 
 But although there is no other individual of the same 
 Christian name, there are several possessing the same surname. 
 The first Roll has William Bisset ; that of 2 Henry 2, 
 Manassah. The first has Hugo and William de Luvetot ; the 
 second, Richard. The first has also Robert fil Toli : the 
 second, Peter. 
 
 There is a remarkable statement in the Records of the 
 Borough of Nottingham, which would date the charter of that 
 town as of the first year of King Henry's reign, whereas, it is 
 clearly attested by Ranulf, the Sheriff, at York. This Roll 
 shows that Ranulf was not sheriff that year, and therefore it 
 must be a later date — 11 57-1 167. 
 
 Professor Stubbs, Itenerary of Henry II. in Chron. of Benedict 
 Abbas ii., p. cxxix., is cited as an authority for the erroneous 
 date.

 shows that Robert de Chalz was then acting as chief forester ; 
 the previous year, the sheriff having been allowed the expenses 
 of the forests through Peter de Goldington, who was probably 
 the king's escheator, or some officer of the exchequer.

 was evidently a forced loan, or it would have been unnecessary to 
 excuse those who did not pay. It was possibly an early

 much strife in the reign of this king's son.

 Robert de Pirario rendered composition of ^92 9s. 4d. for the 
 lands of the Earl of Ferrars. (He was no doubt the sheriff of 
 I Henry II.) 
 
 Note. — This shows that the Earl of Ferrars was in disgrace : 
 that his lands, for some reason, were in the king's hands. He 
 appears to have assumed the title of the Earl of Nottingham, for 
 King Henry is said to have forbidden his son William to adopt 
 it a year later, when, on his father's death, he succeeded to his 
 inheritance. Stephen is said to have conferred upon Robert de 
 Ferrars, in recognition of his great services at the Battle of the 
 Standard, the title of Earl of Derby, but he seems to have been 
 deprived of it also, and his son not allowed to bear either title. 
 He was still permitted to rank as an earl, and to bear that 
 title, but he had not the profits of the County : the earl's third 
 penny, as it was called, a matter of great importance in those 
 days. 
 
 From the payments made this year the following were 
 excused : — The Bishop of Chester, 24s., and in Rutland 30s., of 
 which Robert Goeb rendered composition ; the monks of 
 Rufford, 7s. ; and William, the king's brother, 2s.

 only the brothers of Peverel, it would seem to refer to Meredith 
 and Roger de Powis (William Peverel's half-brothers), who 
 received an allowance out of his property about this time. (See 
 the Pipe Roll of 17 Henry II.) But Peverelsthorpe was never a 
 portion of William Peverel's Honor ; this was no doubt de Busli's 
 fee at Domesday ; and in this reign Humphry de Busli is alleged 
 to have held it, and it was the portion of his inheritance which 
 Thomas de Bussey claimed in 9 Henry III. against Robert de 
 Viteriponte.

 THE AMERCEMENTS RECEIVED FOR THE 
 KING'S FOREST 
 
 The amounts collected are very large, ranging from 200 marcs 
 paid by the Earl of Ferrars, to half a marc, the lowest fine 
 exacted. As this was very shortly after the war, and the great 
 Ranulf Glanville was the presiding judge, it was probably upon 
 that account. The names are arranged in the Roll, generally, 
 according to the amount. For convenience of reference, they 
 are here arranged alphabetically : —

 It is remarkable how these amercements are levied. It cannot 
 have been a scutage, because the amounts are not in any kind 
 of proportion to the several estates of those fined ; and towns 
 are fined at a merely nominal sum : Alfreton, for instance, at 
 two marcs ; whilst the Lord of Alfreton, William fil Ralf, was 
 fined 100, and his brother Roger an equal amount. Roger 
 Buron was fined 10 marcs, and Reginald de Anersley 100 ; the 
 two Deincourts at 10 and 20 each ; Hugo Bardolf, who now 
 held the barony of Goisfred Ascelin, at 5 marcs; and William 
 Pincerna, of Hocreton, at only 2. As it was not a question of 
 property, it must have been one of conduct, and the only 
 possible solution seems to be that the king wanted money, and 
 fined his enemies. He received here over i^goo, an immense 
 sum in those days. As some proof of the clannish character of 
 these persons, here was the founder of Beauchief Abbey, his 
 two sons and his brother, and about half of the lay witnesses to 
 his foundation charter. But this is not the whole record of this 
 bloody assize. The sheriff accounts for the goods of those who 
 had fled the country, or had perished by the judgment (of the 
 ordeal of water) at the Northamptonshire Assizes. Held

 NEW PLEAS, HUGO DE GUND, WM. FIL RALF, 
 AND WILL BASSET. 
 
 Robert de Shipley, lOOs. for having assize concerning the 
 inheritance of his wife. This is a very interesting entry. This 
 Robert de Shipley was probably the ancestor of the Vavasors, 
 who obtained this manor from Robert de Muscamp at a later 
 date. Robert de Shipley, temp. Henry H., with the consent of 
 Robert de Muscamp, his lord, granted a rent out of Shipley 
 to Rufford. His wife was probably of the Muscamp family. 
 They were allied to the Peytevins, of Yorkshire, and attested 
 many of these deeds ; and through them to the de Birkins, who 
 were also connected with the Peytevins, Robert de Peytevin, and 
 Roger de Birkin, son of Adam and Maud de Cauz, having 
 married the same lady, probably a Vavasor (tempe Richard). 
 Robt. de Vavasor married the heiress of Tuxford, and her son 
 afterwards enjoyed her inheritance. She is described as the 
 Lady Olive Montebegon in the Rufford Chartulary, so that 
 this marriage must have occurred after the reign of John. 
 
 The sheriff was allowed for Richard Crasso half a marc ; 
 of the gift of the king, 50s. , the Fridborg de Burton, ^ m. 
 William fil R,oger, Turchel Palmer and his associates, by the 
 pledge of Nuer; Henry de Bancwell and his associates, by the

 Stanley was sold to the sheriff's son-in-law shortly after this 
 period by Nicolas, brother of William Ciiild. This entry seems 
 to show that the surname Cilt or Child was here properly 
 translated by the scribe, but that it had already become a 
 a surname indicating probably an English origin for the ancient 
 family of Stanley.)

 Robert Withand, Robert de Wicheton S m. for having a writ 
 concerning a fee, the marriage portion of his wife, Margaret de 
 Nottingham ; (Henry de Wichton and John attested a Walesby 
 Charter of Wm. le Fremunt) ; Roger fil Wm., Hugo de Vasetin ; 
 Robert de Heriz accounted for ;^iOO for having the land of 
 William his brother, and Adeliza his widow owed lOO marcs 
 that she should not be compelled to marry any one unless she 
 had a mind to. (These gross exactions show that there was now 
 much corruption in the administration of the law and in the 
 dealing with estates by the Crown. Ralf Cromwell had been 
 suing for this property for several years.) Robert fil Wm. de 
 Godenoure (Codnor) half a knight's fee in Ratcliff. (This fee 
 remained with the Greys as lords of Codnor, but it does not 
 appear by what right they possessed it, possibly by marriage with 
 the heiress. Nothing is known of this family. Warner held 
 Codnor at Domesday under William Peverel.) Robt. fil Walter. 
 
 THE HONOUR OF PEVEREL. 
 
 William fil Ralf, sheriff, Serlo de Grendon for him accounts

 The sheriff accounts for lOOs. for the lands of Robert de 
 Heriz at Stapleford, and 68s. for the corn of the land of Gervase 
 Avenel. 
 
 Note. — This payment for the land of Robert Heriz of Staple- 
 ford curiously commences with the date of the other Robert 
 Heriz purchasing the lands held by his late brother. These two 
 families must not be confounded. They were separate as early 
 as the foundation of Lenton Priory, when they each granted land 
 out of their domains. This Robert de Heriz seems to have been 
 the last male heir of his family, although the de Ecclestons, who 
 derived descent from his sister and co-heir, assumed the name of 
 Heriz, and the estates continued in their family until the time of 
 Edward II.

 Note. — The chronicle of Thomas de Musca, of Dale Abbey, 
 which is remarkably accurate in many details, states that Serlo de 
 Grendon, who married the daughter of William fitz Ralf, late 
 deputy-sheriff, was Lord of Bradley. He must, therefore, probably 
 have been a son of this Walkelin, and, as it is stated, though 
 unfortunately without giving details, this family were illustrious 
 by the eminence of his race. The probability is that they were 
 of the house of Ferrars. 
 
 HUGO GURNAY'S PLEAS. 
 
 Emma de Lovetot owes ;£S 16s. 3d. for license to marry, but 
 she is dead. 
 
 Rad Cromwell owed S marcs for hastening the writ concerning 
 Widmerpol against Robert de Heriz, but a note is added that as 
 yet he had it not. This must not be confounded with the 
 previous suit against William de Heriz, that having terminated 
 by his death. This refers to Widmerpol only. Other suits were 
 brought by the Cromwells during some 200 or 300 years, all of 
 which failed, not that possibly the claim of the Cromwells of a 
 descent from Aldene of the time of Domesday was invalid, but 
 that they were barred by time. The history of these suits would 
 be incomprehensible, so well established was the bar of lapse 
 of time, were it not that too frequently the king violated the law 
 for his especial favourites, and gave relief after a continuance of 
 adverse possession.

 Gaufry St. Patric gave the church of Nuttall to Lenton, the

 OF THE OBLATIONS OF THE COURT. 
 
 Havis de Arches accounts for 10 m. for having possession of 
 her dower, and that she should not marry unless by the command 
 (voluntas) of the king. (This lady has appeared before in the 
 26th of the king. Possibly, although this entry is rather dift"erent, 
 it is but a repetition of the former. Frequently an entry appears 
 for many years.) 
 
 Richard fil Rich de Chaginea, concerning 12 bovates of land 
 against the Abbot of Welbec. (This curious name must be a 
 form of Chugeneia or perhaps Cahaines.) 
 
 Alured de Suligni lO. m. because he had not the goods of Bald- 
 win, for whom he was bail ; John de Builli S m. for unjust dessiezin. 
 (This is an interesting suit, for it shows that the de Buslis were

 recover them. Robert de Veteriponte married the daughter of 
 John de Busli ; and in 9 Henry VIII. Thomas, son of Humphrey, 
 claimed Peverelsthorpe against him. This was probably the estate 
 in dispute. Roger de Busli appears to have given it to the nuns 
 of Haverholm, who exchanged it with Henry II. for land in 
 Orston. How it came into the hands of Veteriponte, or in those 
 of his father-in-law, does not appear.) 
 
 The sheriff accounts for the goods of Richard de Derlega, an

 Magister Alan de Bolsover 30 m. for confirmation of his 
 charters.

 because he neither had it nor should have it. 
 
 Richard fil Wm. de Pecco 20 m. for having the manor of Esse 
 to farm for £16, and if he would have a charter he must be 
 summoned for that purpose. (The villainy of some of these 
 transactions is quite apparent. Herbert de Ticinton was 
 bargaining for what Ralf Gernon had just been charged 50 m. ; 
 and Richard Pec having paid 20 m. for his lease, was now told 
 that if he wanted a legal assurance for it he must pay over 
 again. Many persons paid fines to confirm what the king him- 
 self, whilst Earl of Morton, had previously taken money for

 de Mortimer, Richard Basset, the Earl of Chester, Henry de 
 Stuteville, Fulk Painel, Gilbert de Gant, Will de Molbrai, Doun 
 Bardolf, Magister Alan de Bolsover. 
 
 (This is a very infamous scutage, worse, perhaps, for its 
 illegality than any which have preceded it. The amounts 
 levied were enormous, and out of all proportion to the fees. 
 Some of these knights paid six marcs per fee, others four. 
 Hubert fitz Ralf was assessed at 100 marcs and one palfry 
 for his 15 fees, though he was excused payment of anything. 
 The list of the great men excused shows a large number of 
 King John's judges. The Chief Justice Hubert de Burg heads 
 the list. They were generally as voracious and dishonest as 
 John himself. Here, too, the Serjeants were taxed quite 
 illegally. 
 
 OBLATIONS. 
 
 Rad de Andevill 10 m. for leave to come before the king 
 or his Chief Justices of the Forest. 
 
 The burgesses of Derby owe 66 marcs and 2 palfreys for 
 having their town of Derby at fee farm ; that is to say, by 
 ancient farm (antiquam firmam), and for the rent (cremento) 
 of ;^io for all services, and for having a similar charter to 
 that granted to the burgesses of Nottingham. 
 
 (This is a very interesting entry, and it accounts for the 
 reference in the charter granted this year to Derby to the 
 Nottingham customs (see " Records of Chesterfield," published 
 for Mr. Alderman Gee, page 19). Here, also, we find that 
 peculiar expression, old farm or ancient farm, which appears 
 in the first great Roll of the Pipe with reference to the estates 
 of Hubert fitz Ralf. Here, clearly, it cannot refer to the mere 
 arrears of the rent, as no doubt it generally does, but it 
 
l66 THE PIPE ROLLS. 
 
 is used very much in tlie sense of old feoffment ; but perhaps 
 it is proof that Derby was of the ancient demesne of the 
 Crown, proof of which is wanting both in the case of Derby 
 and of Nottingham ; the latter town especially does not appear 
 to be of this tenure.) 
 
 William Briwere owes 40 m, for having Chesterfield with 
 Briminton, and Witinton with the soke and wapentake of Scars- 
 dale, and for having the manor of Axminster in Devon, and for 
 having other liberties according to the tenor of the king's 
 charter, which he holds pertaining to them. 
 
 (This entry is very valuable, and very puzzling. Perhaps it is 
 the consideration for the charter which is published at page i 
 of the Records of Chesterfield ; but if so, where is the first 
 charter. That in all probability was granted by King John 
 when he was Earl of Morton, probably in 6 Richard I., in which 
 year also William Briwere was also sheriff. That charter is pro- 
 bably the groundwork of the certificate which William Briwere 
 gave for his knights' fees. Chesterfield, etc., was then held by the 
 service of half a knight's fee. The charter of the 6th of John 
 is at fee farm, because probably William Briwere himself, being 
 a judge (and a most voracious one), dare not openly defy the 
 law. That charter was invalid, not only on account of its 
 informality in so treating part of the demesne lands of the 
 Crown, but that King Richard's death put an end to it, no king 
 can legally bind the possessions of the Crown longer than for 
 his own life.)

 this ought not to be exacted, because it was comprised in the 
 farm of Chesterfield ; ;^IS 13s. 4d. for the farm of the Honour

 forgotten to pay his rents for a number of places for no less 
 than eight years, and then only at a nominal figure. It will be 
 seen when the history of this worthy man is unfolded that these 
 charges were merely blinds, and that he paid nothing, or hardly 
 anything, relying upon the king's dispensing powers. In this 
 Roll there is an entry to the effect that Wm. Briwere owed 
 40 m. for having Chesterfield, as mentioned in the preceding 
 Roll, that he paid half, but was excused the other half because 
 he brought into his account against himself 600 marcs for certain 
 debts by the custody of Robert Bertram, which the king gave to 
 Peter de Brus.)

 Richard fil Robert 10 m. for having seizin of 14 bovates of

 in the same, of which Robert de Bingham, his father, died seized, 
 and which were in the king's hands. 
 
 Robert de Carduil c. £ and i palfry for having the marriage 
 of Sarra, the widow of Hugh de Stanton, for the use (ad opus) 
 of his brother Nicolas. 
 
 Prior and canons of Newsted 10 m. and i palfry for having 
 the king's confirmation of the charter of King Henry, the father 
 of the king, and of the charter of the king himself whilst Earl 
 of Morton, of that place and of other their lands, according to 
 the tenor of their charters which they still possessed. 
 
 (The infamy of this transaction is patent. It would be 
 curious to learn whether these charters were amongst those 
 found secreted in the brazen eagle thrown by the monks into 
 the lake at the great Reformation.) 
 
 Henr de Daneston 20s. that the wood of Somersall should be 
 divided between himself and Avic de Albini, from which two 
 parts remained to the said Avic and the rest to himself, and of 
 
THE PIPE ROLLS. 169 
 
 which he, Henry, complained that the said Avic destroyed that 
 wood. (The relevancy of this entry has not yet been ascer- 
 tained. It is curious, however, to see that one of the Somersalls 
 was held by a Montgomery and the other by Fitz Herbert. Is 
 there any connection between the family of Montgomery of 
 Derbyshire and the Albinis ? If so, it is probably clear that 
 they are of the family of the Earl of Shropshire and Arundel. 
 Somersall is mixed up with the Montgomery estates.) 
 
 Hugo de Acour 20s. for having a suit with William de Mont- 
 gomery concerning Snelleston.

 will. (King John was certainly impartial. He has just accepted 
 a fine of c. £ and l palfry from Robert Cardoil for this very 
 lady's marriage.) 
 
 Barnabas fil Walter 40 m. for having i fee in Hertwell (qy. 
 Herthill), of which Walter, his father, died seized. 
 
 Elizabeth, widow of Simon Basset, 80 m. for her inheritance, 
 of which she was disseized after the death of her husband, and 
 that she should not be compelled to marry unless by her own 
 will.

 The men of Chestrefeld accounted for 20 m. for having the 
 king's confirmation of the Charter of Wm. Briwere, their lord. 
 (This is proof that William Briwere's acquisition of this Manor 
 was an illegality ; it being of the ancient demesne of the Crown, 
 Chestrefield could only be legally granted in fee farm. The 
 younger William Briwere, to whom the grant was made, seems 
 to have died about this period, and his estates had devolved upon 
 his coheirs, who had now succeeded to this illegal grant. They, 
 of course, desired to have the confirmation of the king to the 
 charter which Wm. Briwere granted to the town, for which there 
 could have been no necessity had it been a vahd grant to him, 
 and which was now chiefly valuable, inasmuch as it practi- 
 cally confirmed their right to succeed to his property.)

 The scutage of the 15th year of this king is set out this year 
 as if unpaid (as it is, subsequently), no knight having apparently 
 paid any portion of it. It would seem probable that it had been 
 farmed, and that the farmer had made default in payment, hence 
 the Exchequer scribe repeats it till it is paid. It is impossible to 
 suppose that all the knights omitted to pay their separate quotas.

" Nothing can well be of greater interest to the student than the genealogical 
 connection of this kingdom with that of our continental neighbours and the old 
 Duchies of Normandy and Brittany. Absolutely little of consequence was known 
 (and this (ar from accurately) until the publication by the late distinguished Herald, 
 Mr. Planche, of his 'William the Conqueror and his Companions.' Sir Francis 
 Palgrave in his Work was barred from going into all those details of history so neces- 
 sary to a just appreciation of the connection of the ruling houses of England and 
 Normandy, but his eloquent sketches of the Duchy will never fade from the memory 
 iif the cultivated so long as history holds its domain in the human mind. Other 
 gentlemen of repute have since written upon this subject more or less fully ; but it 
 st-ems to have remained for the present learned Author to unearth from the various 
 archives of the French Republic, and from the great stores of materials in the Pipe 
 Rolls and the Red Book of the Exchequer, and those in the possession of the Duke of 
 Rutland and Lord Arundel of Wardour (extending in date from the reigns of the 
 Dukes of Normandy and regularly down to the time of Henry III. of England), a 
 large amount of original information, which, although of so fragmentary a character 
 in many cases as to necessitate the utmost industry, skill and circumspection in using, 
 has enabled Mr. Yeatman to give to the reader something approaching a sound and 
 reliable Work on this interesting period of Anglo-Norman history." 
 
 SECOND NOTICE. 
 
 " To handle all the multitude of facts in this book (far exceeding in number, and 
 often in abstruse significance any disclosed in the greatest cause celibri), and to deal 
 with them in a comprehensive manner, giving full effect to the numerous subtleties 
 of meaning they often disclose, requires a grasp of intellect which can never be too 
 fully ^ appreciated. It is not surprising then if some should slip out of hand, 
 and it would ill become the critic to score his page with black marks where there 
 is abundance of merit so conspicuous to compensate for almost any degree of 
 shortcoming, especially in a costly first edition which cannot easily very soon be 
 supplanted by a second. 
 
 "In conclusion, the least that can be said of 'The History of the House of 
 Arundel ' is, that it is an admirable collection of facts ; and, if for this reason 
 only, is very valuable, but its facts are skilfully arranged, and the learned Author 
 has placed them in the most candid manner in every conceivable light before the 
 reader, however laboured his efforts may occasionally appear; and after the judg- 
 ment and research displayed in this work, if he has failed to command, he has 
 certainly deserved success. As a volume for the earnest student of both direct 
 and circumstantial evidence, it is to be warmly commended ; and the many tabular 
 pedigrees will repay the perusal of every one interested in the stream of history 
 which connects so many of the past and present races with those of our own. We 
 cordially congratulate Mr. Yeatman on the production of this admirable book." 
 
 Prom the " Bristol and Gloucester Archaeolog-ical Journal," 
 Vol. VII., Part I., a criticism by Sir John MacLean of Bicknor 
 
 Court : 
 
 " The chapter on the settlement of the house of St. Sauveur, in the West of 
 England, will be found of special interest to our readers, inasmuch as it gives the 
 origin of many ancient families in the western counties, but the space at our 
 disposal will not admit of our entering into details. 
 
 " To compile an authentic pedigree of one ancient family is no light task, 
 but to grapple with those of many of the Norman nobility and trace their 
 descendants respectively from original authorities is a work of Herculean labour, 
 and Mr. Yeatman's Book, when completed, will form a monument of industry and 
 patient research. He seems to be well acquainted with the several personages who 
 come within his range, and, throughout all their shifting scenes, maintains, upon 
 the whole, a firm grasp of their individuality. That there are many, and possibly 
 mipoi tant, mislakes in such a work would be unavoidable, and some of the state- 
 inents made seems to us not to be vouched for by sufficient evidence ; nevertheless 
 allowing for all these errors and shortcomings, the Work will prove a most useful 
 contribution to English history and genealogy."

 " Every one must own the clearness ot style, the cogency of argument, the wealth 
 of illustration in the way of learning, the depth of thought, and the perfect indepen- 
 <lence with which the history of England is sifted. To many, perhaps most people, 
 the criticism on the Aryan Theory, &c., will seem like an unpleasant revelation, but 
 we strongly suspect it will be found far from easy to answer this book." — The Metro- 
 politan, Tpth August, 1879. 
 
 " Mr. Yeatman is one who has had the courage to combat popular opinion on 
 Philology. Should the statements contained in the book lying before us be true, 
 and to bear testimony without prejudice, we think it will be no light task to prove the 
 basis of his theory to be untrue, the Oxford School of Philology is undubitably 
 worthless, especially Max Miiller's Aryanic Theory, which, in plain language, rejects 
 the Mosaic Account of the Early History of Mankind, and holds up the Sanscrit to 
 be the parent of all languages." — The Auckland Times {\st Notice), 2(>th Sept., 1879.

 " Tbe work of transcribing, translating and editing these archives was entrusted 
 to the capable pen of Mr. Pym Yeatman, and most ably has he done his task. The 
 introduction is helpful and original, its only fault being its brevity." 
 
 " The work has been most ably done by Mr. Yeatman, than whom no one could 
 have been found more competent for the task, and he has preceded the body of the 
 work by a masterly, pble and valuable historical preface, which adds immensely to its 
 value." — The Reliquary, April, 1885.— By the Editor. 
 
 " This little book deals with a subject that is very interesting just now, and the 
 records quoted by the Author, from documents relating to the Borough Courts of 
 Chesterfield, are exceedingly curious. Mr. Yeatman gives some curious facts from 
 Manor records and elsewhere, and his essay appears to us to contain some important 
 facts which are well worth close attention from those whose special study it is to 
 reconsider the history of land-holding m'EngXa.nd."— The Antiquary, December, 1884.

 AN INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF EARLY 
 
 ENGLISH HISTORY, &-c. 
 
 The Metropohtan, 14th August, 1874. 
 
 "Old-fashioned people who believe iu ' Mangnall's Questions,' ' Pinnock's 
 Catechism of English History,' or in Hume and Smo ett, will "^^^d 'his work with 
 fear and tremblini. We are not prepared to endorse all the views set forth m these 
 pages but the book is .so immeasurably above the ordinary run of histories which 
 are mere repetitions of facts previously invented and judiciously airanged, that we 
 must cordially advise every reader to study it intently. 
 
Evening Standard, 12th November, 1874. 
 
 " This is a most original Work, overflowing with learning, and marked through- 
 out with a complete mastery over the most minute details of this extensive subject. 
 By far the most interesting portion of the Woik is the patient research shewn by the 
 Author into the origin of the English language, and his dissertation on our Saxon 
 literature, laws, and customs. Some of the most dangerous errors of Drs. Marsh and 
 Latham are freely exposed, and with success ; with like freedom and success the hi- 
 torical errors of Mr. Freeman, Lord Macaulay, and Sir Edward Creasey, are brought 
 home to their several authors." 
 
 The Press, Philadelphia, 20th November,' 1874. 
 
 " The present volume is a remarkable example of original thought, historical 
 research, philosophical deduction, and bold disregard of the merely traditional views 
 of previous writers, who, taking too much for granted, have been content to travel in 
 beaten tracks merely because they are old. To a large extent the Author ignores the 
 claims of the Saxons as founders of either the language or the laws of England, and 
 doubts whether, indeed, they had a distinct nationality. The Work is earnest and 
 able." 
 
 The Law Review (Ens'lish), Vol. III., N. S., p. 1139 (1874)- 
 
 " Mr. Yeatman writes with all the spirit of a true antiquary. He has an ardent 
 appreciation of his subject, and pursues it with a keenness and a zest known only to 
 those who have for some time indulged in antiquarian research. His work turns up 
 much fertile soil, and though we do not concur in his main views, yet we willingly 
 recognise the general value of his treatise. Its main object seems to be to unearth 
 those jural elements that lie deep at the base of our laws, and to assign them, if 
 possible, to a British rather than a Saxon origin. In this view he is undoubtedly 
 nearer the truth than those writers — and they are legion, including the great 
 Blackstone himself — who asciibe a Saxon origin to our Common Law. 
 
 " His description of the influence of Roman jurisprudence on modern law 
 indicates much literary grace and skill. It is clear that Mr. Yeatman is a rheto- 
 rician, and a poet of no mean order. If ever he divests his thoughts from the 
 Common Law, a boundless and more fertile field will lie before him in the domain of 
 general literature. He certainly has all the qualities that constitute a vigorous 
 writer. Tliere is not anything improbable in most of Mr. Yeatman's views. His 
 work indicates great facility of composition, and an intimate familiarity with all the 
 leading arcana of Celtic lore." 
 
 The Am.erican Law Review, Vol. IX. (1874-75), P- 123- 
 
 " Mr. John Pym Yeatman possesses at least two qualities in common with the 
 distinguished Englishmen whose name he bears — independence and courage ; without 
 the former he could not have written, without the latter he would hardly have 
 published, the extraordinary book which form.s the subject of this notice. Mr. 
 Yeatman has produced a remarkable book." 
 
 The Freeman's Journal (Dublin). 
 
 "Under this unpretending title Mr. Yeatman has given to the world a veiy 
 valuable book. His introduciion is not, as such works usually are, a mere transcript, 
 more or less abridged, of the standard and approved authors on the subject. It is as 
 remarkable for the boldness and originality of its views as it is for patient research and 
 easy vigour of style. The author sets out with the theory that falsehood and exaggera- 
 tion have mingled so largely with the writings of English historians, more especially 
 since the Reformation, that it has become almost impossible to recognise the truth in 
 its twisted, distorted form. He contends that it is not in the history of the Saxons, 
 but in the ignored history of the Celtic race, that England has to look for the origin 
 of all that she possesses that is valuable or noble — her language, her literature, her 
 Common Law, and her Constitution. In the coiu-se of his very able work he boldly 
 exposes the innumerable misrepresentations with which English history is underlaid, 
 and advances many strong and ingenious arguments in support of the theory he has 
 adopted. The book is characterised throughout by a patient, industrious, laborious, 
 and patient research, and an honest desire to discover and declare the truth at ail 
 hazards and under all circumstances."
