family is shrouded in mystery. The monks of St. Mary of York deduced Gilbert do Lancaster from Ivo Taillebois, viz., son of Ketell, son of Eldred, son of "Ivo (Monasticon, III, p. 553). While it is quite certain that Ivo died without male issue, it is not impossible that Gilbert may have been the son of Ketell, son of Eldred, and brother to Orm, son of the said Ketell, who inherited his father's estates of Workington, Pre? ton Patrick, etc., and was father of Gospatrick, to whom William de Lancaster, son of the taid Gilbert, before the year 1170, gave (he vill of Lamplugh in exchange for Middleton in Lonsdale. During the period of Archbishop Turstin's tenure of the sec of York, and therefore before 1139, William, son of Gilbert de Lancaster, gave land in a place called Suartheued, in Hensingham or Preston, near White- haven, to St. Mary and St. Beda and the monks of York; Roger, son of Gilbert, and probably brother of the said William, subsequently giving two oxgangs of land in Hensingham (Monasticon, IT, p. 577). Ketel, son of Eldred, held Workington, Kelton and Salter or Saltergh in Copeland of Ranulf Meschino ; Morland, Preston Patrick, and lands in Newby, Kirkby Kendal and elsewhere in Westmorland, of the fee of Ivo Taillebois. Gospatric, son of Orm, son of the said Ketell, held his lands both in Copeland and Westmorland of the Lancasters, barons of Kendal, as appears by the charter of William [son of Gilbert] de Lancaster quoted above (Transactions, Cumberland and Westmorland, Arch. Society, V, p. 312), and .by Gilbert, son of Roger fitz Reinf rod's confirmation to the Abbey of St. Mary of York (Monasticon, III, p. 566). In addition to the estates enumerated, William, son of Gilbert de Lancaster, held the following estates in Copeland : Mulccaster (now Muncaster), Lamplugh and Hensingham or Preston (cf. Monasticon, III, p. 577). While there is nothing in these particulars inconsistent with an infeudation made by Ranulf Meschines of various estates in Copeland and Westmorland, to Gilbert de Lancaster, in a portion of which Ketell, son of Eldred, may already or subsequently have been enfeoffed, as an undertenant of Gilbeit's, there is no evidence to be found that relationship existed between Gilbert and Ketell. We are therefore reduced either to disbelieving the relationship altogether, or to placing credit upon the statement made by the monks of St. Mary of York, notwithstanding the fact that part of that statement, viz., that Eldred was the son of Ivo Taillebois, is disproTed by after events.

INTRODUCTION.
Second only in importance to the Great Survey of William the Conqueror are the Great Rolls of the Exchequer, vulgarly known as the Pipe Rolls or Great Rolls of the Pipe, the contents of which, so far as they relate to the County of Lancaster, have been reproduced and annotated in the following pages. The character of these noble records is briefly described in the opening pages of this volume ; but a perusal of the whole series of extracts which follow will give the reader a better insight into the purposes and objects for which these rolls were drawn up, than any introductory remarks can convey. Up to the first year of King John, when the wonderful scries of our Public Records — which have con- tinued in almost unbroken continuity to this day — begius, early manorial and family history is almost entirely derived from the Pipe Rolls, ancient charters and monastic chartularies. This knowledge, coupled with the fact that the early history of the county subsequent to the Conquest had received but little attention — that little being of a somewhat superficial and uncritical character — induced the writer to undertake the task which has resulted in these pages, and to supplement an extended version of the entries in the Pipe Rolls and the annotation of those entries, by bringing together in the same volume transcripts of all the original charters or ancient transcripts of charters which could be found in the Public Records, in the MSS. collections of Roger Dodsworth, Christopher Towneley, Dr. Kuerden, the Randle Holmes, and in one or two private muniment- rooms to which the writer had access. While fully conscious that to do justice to the task requires the knowledge, insight and conversance with ancient records possessed by such illustrious workers as Horace Round, Professor Maitland or the late Robert Eyton, the writer felt constrained to attempt a labour for which he possessed but slight capabilities, on the ground that no other worker was in the field or seemed likely to take the field. The editor is therefore emboldened to ask for the indulgence of the
X INTRODUCTION.
more critical readers of this volume, who may find in it defects of transcription, extension and translation, or statements and deductions inconsistent with ascertained facts, in the hope that in it may be found some original matters of interest and some new light upon the history of the Honor and County of Lancaster.
Briefly stated, the history of the county down to the reign of Henry the Third is as follows. In Saxon times the land between the rivers Mersey and Duddon formed part of the kingdom of Northuinbria. But in 923, King Edward took possession of the southern portion, lying between the Ribble and the Mersey, and incorporated it in the kingdom of Mercia. Sometime during the period which intervened before the Norman invasion, the northern portion, which still formed part of the kingdom of Northumbria, lying between the Ribble, which parted it on the south from Mercia, and the Duddon, which parted it on the north from Cumberland, was assessed to Danegeld at 500 ploughlands or carucates. Within this area was also included that part of Westmorland which afterwards formed the Barony of Kendal. After the abolition of the royal dignity in Northumberland in the year 952, that kingdom continued under the government of the Earls of that province. Thus we find that Earl Tostig or his thanes were lords of this territory before the Conquest. The Mercian portion was apparently assessed to the same levy, in conjunction with Cheshire, at 1 ,000 ploughlands or carucates, of which 520 lay in Cheshire proper, and 480 between the Ribble and the Mersey, which latter for a long period before the Conquest formed part of the demesne of the Kings of England. Probably owing to this fact, the ancient assessment in carucates had been converted at some period into Mercian hides, in the proportion of six carucates to one hide ; so that this territory was assessed before the Conquest at 80 hides, as against 520 in Cheshire.
Upon the subjugation of the north by the Conqueror, all Lancashire from the Mersey to the Duddon was bestowed upon Roger, son of Roger de Montgomery, commonly called "the Poitevin" who also received Bowland and a large estate in Craven, in the county of York. Count Roger was probably put in possession in the year 1068. Within a few years he was dispossessed, on account of his participation in the rebellious acts of Duke Robert of Normandy during the period 1077-8. Subsequently William Rufus restored to him his estates in Lancashire, or the greater portion of them, for it is not an

ascertained fact that Furness and Cartmel were in the Count's possession between 1089 and 1102.1 In the latter year he again adhered to Duke Kobert in the latter's insurrection against King Henry's authority in Normandy, with the result that he and his father's house were finally banished from the kingdom and his estates confiscated. It was during the twelve years which followed the Count's final expulsion that Henry I.2 incorporated the Honor of Lancaster by the inclusion with the late Count's estates of the lands of other banished barons,8 and the addition of some royal estates. In 1114-6, the newly incorporated Honor with a quota of service to the military host of some sixty odd knights, was bestowed by King Henry upon his nephew Stephen, who had already succeeded to the Comtecs of Boulogne and Mortain.4 Count Stephen thus holding the Honor by his uncle's gift, continued in possession after his accession to the Crown in 1135, until the troublous period of 1138-1141.5 In the former year he gave all Lancashire north of the Kibble to David, King of Scots,0 as part of the price of peace, after the latter's victorious campaign undertaken in pursuit of his alleged title to Cumberland and Northumberland (see pages 274 and 297). In the latter year, as a result of his defeat and capture at the battle of Lincoln, he gave the whole Honor of Lancaster — with the exception of the Montbegon fee — and Lancashire between the Kibble and the Mersey to Kanulf, Earl of Chester,7 under circumstances which are fully detailed in the following pages (see page 368 ct scq.). The Earl of Chester also obtained possession of Lancashire north of the Kibble from the King of Scots, at Whitsuntide, 1149, and by the Treaty of Devizes he further obtained from Duke Henry, as the price of his assistance in the Duke's endeavour to wrest the Crown of England from King Stephen, a grant or confirmation of the Honor. Events now followed each other in rapid suc- cession. A few weeks after the conclusion of the Treaty of Devizes

the Earl was poisoued, as it is supposed, by William Peverel of Nottingham. On November 6th at Wallingford a treaty was made between the King and Duke Henry, whereby it was agreed between them that Stephen should retain his crown for the rest of his life, Henry acting as justiciar and practical ruler under him as acknowledged successor to the King and heir to the Crown. Further, that the King's surviving son, William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, and Earl of Warren, should succeed to all the estates which his father had held before he attained to the Crown, among which was naturally included the Honor of Lancaster. Accordingly upon the King's death on October 25th, 1154, the Earl of Warren1 succeeded to the Honor, which he held until his death, which occurred during the retreat from Toulouse, about the end of September, 1159 (see p. 5).
During the interval between the Earl's death and Michaelmas, 1164, when the Honor became once more a Crown estate, it appears probable that the issue3 were received by the Countess Isabel, the late Earl's widow, until her marriage in that year to the King's brother Hameline, Earl of Warren, when Henry II.2 restored to her certain of the late Earl's estates which had been seized after his death, taking the Honor into his own hands (see p. 6). Upon the death of King Henry on July 6th, 1189, Eichard I. gave the Honor to his younger brother John, Count of Mortain,8 who appears to have taken the issues arising during the last three months of the fiscal year which ended at Michaelmas, 1189. The four years and a half during which Count John held the Honor were years of great development, as is shown by the charters recorded in the Charter Kolls of the 1 John, confirming various grants made by the King during the period of his tenure of the Honor. Many of these charters have been pre- served and receive notice in this volume. The cause of this development, of the granting out of demesne lands, bestowal of liberties and franchises and relaxation of the restraining influence exercised by the severity of the forest laws against the development

and cultivation of waste lands, by the acceptance of large sums of money for respite of the Reguard of the forest, was apparently due to John's ambitious policy and the preparations which he was making to seize the Crown during the King's prolonged absence in the East. This policy, as is well known, culminated in the rebellion of February, 1194, and Count John's defeat. Richard I.1 immediately took the Honor into his own hands, and thenceforth it continued as a Crown estate during the reigns of King John2 and Henry III., until the latter sovereign on June 30th, 1267, bestowed it upon his younger son Edmund Plantagenet, styled Crouchback, who was summoned to Parliament as Earl of Lancaster from December 12th, 1276.
The Domesday Survey contains some information as to the status of the inhabitants of Lancashire before 1066. In the land between the Ribble and the Mersey there were no large estates or fiefs, and few even of moderate size, if we except the estates of Ughtred the thane, iu the Hundred of West Derby, and of Ganiel, the thane of Rochdale. The demesne of the Honor was fairly extensive, consisting in 1086 of 13 manors assessed at 107 ploughlands and worth 23/t. 10s. per annum. In 1066 there were, besides the demesne, 175 manors probably held by as many thanes or drenghs, assessed at 474 ploughlands, and worth, in addition to the demesne just enumerated, 145/z. 8s. lOd. The enumeration in the Survey of the customs of this country proves that these thaues were in status but little superior to the villeins. In Amounder- ness it is probable that the conditions were much the same as in the part of the county south of the Ribble. The tenants of the 61 manors in this hundred were dependents of the chief manor of Preston, and no doubt the customs whicli they owed were just as servile as those described in the Survey of the land between the Ribble and the Mersey. In addition to the demesne manor of Preston assessed at six ploughlands, were these 61 dependent manors assessed at 164 ploughlands. No particidars are recorded as to their value, but after the conquest of the North in 1068, this country was so terribly wasted that 18 years later but 16 manors were inhabited by a few people, and the rest were waste. In Lonsdale there were 17 manors, some portions of which lay in Yorkshire, containing 63 Lancashire vills assessed at

162£ ploughland8. In Furness and Cartniel there were five large manors, three of which were assessed at six ploughlands each, the fourth with a berewick at seven ploughlands, the fifth, having its chief manor house at Hougun (now Milium Castle in Cumberland) with 26 dependent vills, 22 of which were in Furness and Cartmel, was assessed at 75 ploughlands, making in all 100 ploughlands. Again, as in Amounderness, no particulars as to annual value or customs are recorded. The whole county thus contained about 350 manors or vills, assessed at a little over 900 ploughlands, and inhabited before the Conquest by a population that may be estimated at about 23,750 souls. The ravages of war probably swept away more than half the popidation living north of the Kibble, so that it is doubtful if the population was as great in 1102 as it was in 1066.
The general impression as to the state of the county during the century succeeding the Conquest, left upon one's mind by the study of such historical materials as exist, is that very few Normans settled in the county until a long period of years after 1066. Count Roger himself is said to have been little pleased with his rugged northern fief and its impoverished inhabitants. In 1086 there were between Kibble and Mersey only some 20 knights, holding* 125£ ploughlands, and of these it is doubtful if many were resident in the county. With the exception of Furness Abbey in the extreme north, founded in 1127, and two or three unimportant friaries and hospitals for lepers, no other monastic houses were founded in the county, for the dissemination of learn- iug or instruction in arts and crafts, until more than a century after the Conquest. A great part of the landowning population, the thanes and drenghs, and the various Serjeants of the Castles and Wapentakes would appear from their names to have been of Anglo-Saxon blood, or descendants of the Norsemen and Danes who had overspread the country in the tenth and early part of the eleventh centuries. The parsons of the thirty or more churches which existed here at the Conquest probably differed little from their neighbours except in name. In consequence of these con- ditions, of the sparseness of inhabitants, and of the relics of servile tenure lingering even amidst the landowning thanes and drenghs, there was little subdivision of property and few infeudations requiring to be recorded in the usually minute charter on parch- ment. Thus the historian may search in vain amidst the treasures of the most extensive muniment room for even a stray

charter inscribed before the commencement of the reign of Henry II., and he will find but few that can be ascribed even to that period of improvement and progress. Therefore, to the Lancashire historian, every record relating to the county, which belongs to the period 1066 to 1164, must be considered as of the utmost value and interest.
Particular attention may be called to some of the details recorded in the Pipe Polls. On the first page we find reference to an important agreement made before 1130, between Count Stephen and seven thanes of the land between the Kibble and the Mersey. It ma^r be reasonably surmised that the total sum of 220 marks paid to the King by these seven men represented some important liberty or franchise obtained from the chief lord by agreement, and sanctioned by the judgment of the King's Court. On page 8 will be found a list of the knights' fees within the couuty in the year 1166. On page 12 is recorded the tallage which the King took from his demesne lands in the year 1169, towards the endowment of his daughter Matilda, upon her marriage with Henry, the Lion Duke of Saxony. A subsequent tallage of the vills and men belonging to the royal demesne was made in 1177, aud is set forth on page 35. Tallages were again assessed in the 4 John (page 151) and in the 6 John (pages 176-8). The first appears to have been assessed not only upon the vills and men of the existing demesne, but also upon lands of ancient demesne which had long been granted out to free tenants or to the King's Serjeants. The latter tallage was assessed upon the thanes, free tenants and Serjeants of the county ne trarutfretent, i.e., in lieu of military service with the King in foreign parts, which he was illegally exacting from them.
A complete feodary of the Honor about the year 1200, is set forth on pages 144-5. The Poll of 8 Richard I. (page 92) gives an interesting account of the purchase of stock and implements for the royal demesnes which had been depleted during Count John's rebellion in the early spring of 1194. It is recorded that during the year 1196, 15 ploughs and harrows and 15 ox-teams each of eight oxen were purchased for the cultivation of the demesne lauds. Also 455 head of stock, including bulls, cows, mares and ewes for the re-stocking of the vaccariea within the forest of Lancaster.
During the reign of King John great additions were made to the King's lodgings in Lancaster Castle, about 550K, being

expended on this work between 1210-1215, in addition to 100/i. previously laid out in other repairs to the gaol at Lancaster and to the Castle of West Derby. In 1210 large quantities of stores were purchased for the use of the army in Ireland, and in 1211 for the array in Wales. In 1215 nearly 200/i. was devoted to the munitioning of the Castles of West Derby and Lancaster, and over 1501L for their defence in the wages of foot soldiers and cross- bowmen.
Warine de Lancaster, who was Falconer to Henry II., had received from that sovereign a gift of lands, including Liverpool, Up-Litherland, and Ravensmeols, in return for his services, which were hereditary. In 1207, or perhaps some years earlier, King John, having some prevision as to the advantages possessed by Liverpool as a seaport town, acquired it, or to be more accurate, seized it from Henry fitz Warine, and by charter dated August 23rd, 1207, gave him English Lea in exchange for it and for Up- Litherland, which he had also taken into his own hands. Four days later he published a proclamation inviting all who would to come and take burgages at Liverpool, where they should enjoy all the liberties and free customs enjoyed by any other free borough on the sea coast (page 225). Further, the King on the following day (August 28th) issued in similar words his grant by letters patent making the town a free borough. In the Pipe Roll of the year following, the Sheriff, in rendering account of the ferm of the Honor, claimed allowance of 8/i. " in defaltft de Westderbi qua* est remota usque ad Liuerpul," which meant that the population of West Derby, representing the men of the King's demesne, had been partially removed to Liverpool, and while erecting burgage tenements there, had received remission of the usual rent or ferm of 8/r. due yearly from the adjoining royal estate of West Derby. This allowance continued in 1209 and 1210, but ceased after that year, when it is to be supposed the revenue from West Derby and Liverpool combined, amounted to the like sum. A few years later, viz., 10 Henry III., the Pipe Rolls record that the assized rent of " Lieverpol " was 9li, and of " West Derebe " 31 i. 12s. 6d. We have evidence in 1211 (page 239) that Liverpool was the usual seaport from which commodities were shipped to Chester and North Wales.
After 1182, we meet with evidence that the county within the Lyme was beginning to be described as a shire, and not by the nomenclature of the Domesday Survey. In and before that year

" Lancastra " was not treated in the Pipe Rolls as a separate county, but was included under Northumberland or Yorkshire. Subsequently " Lancastra " appears under a separate heading and sometimes in conjunction with " scira." It may be said that in 1182 the two ancient divisions, viz. "the land between the Kibble and the Mersey " and " Lancaster " were finally united in name under the style of " Lancashire." The importance of the office of Sheriff in early times is brought into prominence by the Pipe Eolls. The Sheriff represented the Sovereign in the county, collecting the revenue fixed and casual, receiving and transmitting the royal writs to those whom they concerned, keeping the King's peace in the county, and providing for the defence of the castles and the administration of the royal estates and so forth. He did not receive any fixed remuneration, but upon taking office he undertook to render yearly a fixed sum to the royal Treasury called the firma comitatus. This was fixed at 200K by tale for Lancashire in 1164. Out of the balance which he collected, amount- ing to a sum probably equivalent to the ferm which he rendered, he discharged the wages of the garrison of the royal castles, and various clerks, receivers, and officials, the cost of transmitting writs, moneys and munitions for the King's use, and last, but not least, he took what he could as the profit of his office for his own remuneration. Some particulars as to the issues of the Honor are set forth on pages 264-268. Until the creation of the Duchy in 1351, the Sheriff of Lancaster was also Sheriff of the Honor, and possessed special jurisdiction over the lands of the Honor in divers counties.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 31 HENRY I. (MICH. 1129-MICH. 1130).
The Great Roll of the Exchequer, otherwise called the " Pipe Roll," contains the annual accounts of the revenues of the crown, arranged under the heads of the several counties or honors, for the purpose of charging and discharging the Sheriffs and other persons rendering accounts of the revenues of the royal estates and other sources of revenue, such as fines, amercements, profits of lands, tenements, goods or chattels seized into the hands of the crown, wardships, marriages, reliefs and various other casual profits.
At this time Stephen, Count of Mortain and Boulogne, was lord of the Honor of Lancaster, by grant from King Henry ; the crown had therefore no certain revenue from this source. At a later period, when the honor came into the hands of the crown, the accounts of the revenue, both certain and casual, were yearly rendered by the Sheriff of the honor, at the annual Michaelmas audit at the Exchequer, when he obtained his discharge for all payments made on behalf of the crown.
For a long period u Lancaster " was not recognized as a county ; and for some years the account of the ferm of the honor was rendered by the Sheriff of Northumberland, Lancaster being generally incorporated with that county, occasionally with York- shire, and once with Buckinghamshire. Gradually the county proper was distinguished from the rest of the honor, by the terms
ROLL OF 31 HENRY I. (1129-1130). 3
" infra comitatum " or " infra limam." The full status of a county appears to have been attained in 1194, when King Eichard took the Honor and County into his own hands and ejected his brother John, Count of Mortain.
In this Roll, Bertram de Bulmer, Sheriff of Yorkshire, renders account of several sums of money due to the Treasury for concords made by certain persons, who were either Count Stephen's thanes or tenants by serjeanty of land " between Kibble and Mersey," upon a dispute between them and the Count, which had possibly been heard and determined in the Curia Eegis. The names of two, Roger, son of Ravenkill and Ughtred, son of Edmund, occur among the names of thirty freemen, who viewed the boundary of Furness Fells some years later, upon the settlement of a dispute as to the division of Furness Fells between the abbot and monks of Furness and William de Lancaster.
William Maltravers owes a thousand marks of silver and one hundred pounds to the Treasury, or to whomsoever the King might direct payment to be made, for the widow of Hugh de Laval and the lands of the said Hugh, during the term of fifteen years, and then to have the benefit of her dowry and marriage. This was the fief of Pontefract and Clitheroe, which Henry I had bestowed upon Hugh de Laval, after Robert de Lacy's forfeiture in 1108. Upon the death of Hugh, about this time, the King granted tliis estate to William Maltravers, named above. In the year 1135 he was assassinated at Pontefract by a knight called Paganus, and having taken the cowl, died three days afterwards. That King Stephen restored the Honors of Pontefract and Clitheroe to Ilbert de Lacy, is proved by a charter of pardon granted by the King to the men of Ilbert de Lacy, of all forfeitures made after the death of King Henry until the King's coronation, and par- ticularly for the murder of William Maltravers. This suggests that Ilbert had taken violent steps to recover his father's English fiefs after King Henry's death.
Robert Grelley, lord of Manchester, had been engaged in a suit with Count Stephen, concerning lands in his Lincolnshire fief. He had promised the King 20 marks for his assistance against Count Stephen, and had presumably obtained a favourable judgment, which cost him 60 marks more. He paid £16 13s. 4d. on account, to the Treasury by the Sheriff of Lincolnshire, and at Michaelmas, 1130, owed the balance of £36 13s. 4d. and one mark of gold.

Roger de Mowbray, heir to his father Nigel de Albini, was in ward to the King, and during his minority his estates were in the King's hands. Out of the issues of these estates for the year, the Sheriff of Yorkshire claimed allowance of £21 5s. 10rf. for the payment of one knight, ten serving men, one porter and one watchman, keeping the castle of Burton-in-Lonsdale, which then and long after was the caput of the Mowbray Fee in Ewecross Wapentake.
Geoffrey de Clinton, the celebrated justiciar, had been in eyre in the year 1129 in many counties, including Yorkshire, and with his colleagues had held the famous " Assize of Blythe." The drenghs of Robert de Mowbray's demesne lands had been amerced for various offences and defaults ; they were afterwards granted remission of £4 15s. of the total fines set upon them. Roger de Mowbray himself owed 100 marks ; he had paid 30 marks into the Treasury, was pardoned the sum of 40 marks by the King's writ and £7 15s. more, due from his demesne manors, and still owed the balance of £12 5 a

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 8 HENRY II. (MICH. 1161-MICII. 1162).
Early in December, 1140, when King Stephen was in Lincoln- shire antagonizing the Empress Matilda, he granted by charter to Ranulph de Gernons, Earl of Chester, among other extensive possessions, all the land of Roger the Poictevin from Northampton to Scotland — except the land of Roger de Montbegon in Lincoln- shire— the Honor of Lancaster, and the land between Ribble and Mersey. By virtue of tliis grant Earl Ranulf shortly after granted several charters of confirmation to religious houses in Lancashire.
Henry, Duke of Normandy, son of the Empress Matilda, had been elected sovereign at Winchester on April 8th, 1141. When, on
UOLL OF 8 IIESKY II. (11(51-1102). 5.
January 6th, 1153, he invaded England in pursuit of his claim to the crown, he deemed it expedient that there should be an under- standing between himself and the most powerful subject in the realm, the Earl of Chester. The result of negotiations between them was the Treaty of Devizes, confirmed by a charter dated circa March 1st, 1153, whereby the Duke confirmed large posses- sions both in England and Normandy to Earl Ranulf, and further- more gave and granted to him the whole honor of Count lloger the Poitevin, wherever the Earl had aught thereof. The Earl is generally supposed to have been poisoned soon afterwards, by William Peverei of Nottingham; for when, in November, 1153, the peace of Wallingford was concluded between King Stephen and the Duke, a charter of agreement was made between them, whereby, inter alia, it was provided that William, the King's youngest son, Earl of Warren and Surrey in right of his wife, having done homage and fealty to Duke Henry, thereby re- nouncing any title he might have to the throne of England, should receive, by grant from the Duke, whatsoever in England and Normandy the King held before he attained to the crown, that is to say, the Counties of Mortain and Boulogne, and the Honor of Lancaster.
In Bertram de Buhner's account of the Danegeld of Yorkshire, among the contributions pardoned to various abbeys and indi- viduals, occurs the sum of £11 17s. od. upon the Earl of Warren's demesne lands of Lancaster, i.e., of the Honor of Lancaster. The amount shows that the Earl held 118| geldable hides of land in demesne in that honor, the levy being at the rate of 2s. the hide
In July, August, and September, 1159, King Henry was besieging Toulouse, but circa September 26th, he broke up the siege. In the retreat died Earl Warren. Soon after whose death, c. 1159-1162, King Henry granted by charter to the bedesmen of Montmorel, in the diocese of Avranches, for the soul of the Count whose body was buried there, ten marcatcs of land in Ickleton, County Cambridge, which Turold de Boreham, the late Count's Seneschal, apportioned by the order of Beginald de Warren.
In the year 1163 his widow, Isabel, married Hameline Plantagenet, natural son of Geoffrey Plantagenet, Earl of Anjou, and jure uxoris, fifth Earl of Warren and Surrey. The Pipe Eoll for the 10 Henry II (1163-1164) records the payment of £41 10*. M. out of the Ferm of London and Middlesex, for cloth (pannus) for the Couutess of Warren, doubtless for her trousseau.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 11 HENRY II. (MICH. 1164-MICH. 1165).
The history of the honor, between the death of the Earl of Warren, and Michaelmas, 1164, is obscure; that it cannot have been in the Kiug's hands, is clear from the silence of the Pipe Eolls for those years. It is therefore possible that it was held by the Countess Isabel, until her marriage with Earl Hammeline, and that the King thereupon took it into his own hands, restoring instead the County of Norfolk and the Honor of Pevensey, which he had seized after the death of William, Earl of Warren.
The Ferm of the Honor of Lancaster amounted to the sum of £200 num-ero, i.e., reckoned by tale, and not dealbated or pure (blanche) money. This sum was an estimate of the revenue which might be expected to arise from the King's demesne lands, thane- lands, and other territories parcel of the honor. It consisted of various sums apportioned on each item of the royal estate, some of which are revealed in the Testa de Nevil : for instance, £5 was yearly due from the town of Nottingham, and a like sum from the town of Derby, £13 from lands in Navenby, about £50 from the thane-lands of Lancashire. Many other items are revealed by the Pipe Eolls, when the King made grants out of his royal estate, for which the Sheriff claimed allowance. This sum of £200 the Sheriff stipulated to pay to the Treasury, in two sums : £80, due at Easter, and £120, due at Michaelmas each year ; any deficiency was carried over to the following year, as a debt against him, but allowance was made for all the payments which he had made during the year, by virtue of the King's writ or mandate
ROLL OF 11 HENRY II. (1164-1165). 7
(breve Regis). The county ferm, or ferm of the honor, was always kept distinct from other details of casual or extraordinary revenue, and invariably appears first on the Pipe Roll. The extraordinary revenue varied greatly from year to year. It arose from eschaeted lands, felons' goods and chattels, from aids and scutages, confir- mations of charters, writs of right to take action at law, offerings made for the King's pardon or good will, or for the privilege of being heard before the King in the Curia Regis, the fines and amerciaments accruing from eyres of the Justices or forest eyres, and so forth.
"Lancastra" appears this year under the heading of Yorkshire. Geoffrey de Valoines, a younger brother of Peter de Valoines, who held a large fief in the Counties of Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex, was the Sheriff of the honor this year. He paid the ferm into the Treasury without deduction, a somewhat unusual occurrence and one which suggests that the ferm had recently been fixed at the sum of £200. Certain entries in after years, point to the fact that he had acted as Seneschal of the honor to William de Warren. He held Brocton in County Leicester by grant from Albert Bussel and Farleton, and Cantsfield by grant from Adam de Montbegon.
During the months of June and July, 1165, King Henry had been making preparations for a renewed attack upon Wales, of which there is ample evidence in the Pipe Rolls of this year. According to Alexander de Swereford, a third scutage for the army in Wales had been levied in the eighth year of Henry II. The references in the present Roll probably refer to that scutage, but the sum accounted for (£52 16s. 8d.) was too large to represent the levy at the rate of 1 mark on each knight's fee, and probably included sums of money received from other individuals or corporate bodies by way of gift (donum). Several of the King's tenants-in-chief had been with him in the army in Wales, and having performed military service were excused their quota by the King's writ. The following allowances were made to the Sheriff on this account, viz., 10 marks to ten knights who had been in the army with the King ; 8 marks to Richard le Boteler of Warrington, for eight knight's fees held by him ; 5 marks to Henry de Lacy for his fee of Clitheroe for five knight's fees ; leaving a balance due of 5 marks, which was later reduced to 2 marks by the receipt of 40*. by the hands of Hugh Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, on account of three fees held by Arnald le Ros (liufu*) in Sussex, which this family held under the said Earl.
8 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
In the early part of the year 1166, at the second Council of Clarendon, the King's writ was issued to all the barons and tenants- in-chief throughout the kingdom, requiring them to certify the number of knights' fees held " de veteri feoffamento," i.e., those of which the tenants had been enfeoffed before the death of Henry I, the number and names of the tenants " de novo feoffamento," i.e., those who had been enfeoffed subsequent to that date, and the number of knights' fees which they held in demesne ; so that " if there were any who had not yet done allegiance to the King, and whose names were not yet entered on the King's roll, they should do such allegiance before the first Sunday in Lent," upon which day, being the 13th March that year, the wrrit was returnable. The Liber Niger and the Liber Rubeus of the Exchequer, which contain the various schedules returned in obedience to the King's precepts, do not appear to contain any return from the tenants-in- chief of the Honor of Lancaster.1 However, the following list of knights' fees of the Honor of Lancaster, held by tenants "infra comitatum " is probably correct for this period : —
Albert Grelley for the barony of Manchester ... h\ fees.
Henry de Lacy „ „ Clitheroe ... 5

Lancastra appears this year under Buckinghamshire.
Geoffrey de Valoines vacated the office of Sheriff of the honor at Michaelmas, and rendered his account of the ferm of Lancaster for the past year. He paid £200 into the Treasury by two tallies, one for the Easter ferm of £80, and the other for the Michaelmas ferm of £120, and was quit.
A balance of 2 marks had remained due, on account of the scutage, from the last account. Hugh Plucher and Leon de Malnvers pay this sum into the Treasury. This fee was the Manor of Holme, now Holme-Fierrepont, in the southern division of the Wapentake of Bingham, County Notts, and was part of the Domes- day fief of Roger de Busli, but it had passed either by eschaet and re-grant, or otherwise, to Leon de Malnvers, and was held as of the Honor of Lancaster.
Walter de Toulouse paid £4 lis. to have restitution of his cattle. It was the balance of the sum of 100s. which he had offered for a writ of right to sue in the Curia Eegis for the recovery of his cattle, which had probably been seized for some transgres- sion. He had previously paid 9s., as accounted for on the Pipe Roll of the previous year, under Yorkshire. The entry has no reference to Lancaster.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 13 HENRY II. (MICH. 1166-MICH. 1167).
William de Vesci, Sheriff of Northumberland from Michaelmas, 1157, to Easter, 1170, had taken the place of Geoffrey de Valoines as Sheriff of Lancaster, after Michaelmas the previous year. He was the son and heir of Eustace fitz John, Lord of Knaresborough, who had fallen in the ambuscade of Welshmen at Counsylth, near Basingwerk, in July, 1157, when King Henry was invading North Wales. His mother, Beatrix, was the daughter and heir of Yvo de Vesci, Baron of Malton and Alnwick ; William de Vesci was therefore the half-brother of Richard fitz Eustace, Constable of Chester and Baron of Halton and Widnes.
He paid £194 13s. 4d. into the Exchequer and claimed allow- ance for the balance, £5 65. 8d., which he had paid by authority of a writ received from the Earl of Leicester, then Chief Justice of England, to John Mauduit and William fitz Martin when they went to Lancaster on the King's service. In the year 1166, nearly every county in England was visited by Justices-in-Eyre, and it was doubtless in this capacity, that John Mauduit and William fitz Martin had visited Lancaster. The former undoubt- edly acted occasionally as Justiciar for the King, and was pro- bably connected with the Mauduits, who for two generations filled the post of Chamberlain to Kings Henry I and Henry II.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 14 HENRY II. (MICH. 1167-M1CH. 1168).
William de Vesci, the Sheriff of Northumberland, still con- tinues to render the account of the ferm of Lancaster,1 and had paid the sum of £181 Is. 4c£ into the Treasury. The balance, £18 18s. 8d., for which he claims allowance, had been expended in work upon the new Castle upon Tyne. About July, 1157, Malcolm, King of Scots, had surrendered Bamborough, the new Castle upon Tyne, and Carlisle Castle, to King Henry, and had done homage to him at Chester. Thereupon the King had given orders that these Castles should be strengthened and put into a fit state of defence, and during the two years ending at Michaelmas, 1168, work had been executed upon the Castles of Bamborough and Newcastle-upon-Tyne to the value of £151, under the superinten- dence and oversight of Robert de Stutevill, afterwards Sheriff of Yorkshire, and Roger fitz Richard of Warkworth. King Henry had fortified the Castle of " Were " or Warkworth in the year 1158. The writ to direct the Sheriff to execute the work was issued by Richard de Lucy, who had been Justiciar since King Henry's coronation. The sum expended had been met partly out of the ferm of the County of Northumberland and that of the Honor of Lancaster, and partly out of revenue which resulted from the Eyre of the Justices in 1166, but the detailed account of these receipts does not appear upon the Pipe Rolls for the years 1167 and 1168.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 15 HENRY II. (MICH. 1168-MICH. 1169).
Lancaster again occurs under Northumberland on the Pipe Roll of this year.
The Sheriff, William de Vesci, renders his account of the ferm of the honor, and having paid £186 13s. M. into the Treasury, claims allowance for ten librates of land, which King Henry had given to William de Valoines in Culpho, in co. Suffolk, before Michaelmas, 1168. This grant diminished the ferm of the honor by the sum of £10, and for the future the Sheriff yearly claims allowance of this sum. These ten librates of land in Culpho were held by military service of the Honor of Lancaster, by the service of half a knight's fee, and were part of the Domes- day fief of Roger of Poictou, in Sussex. William de Valoines afterwards gave the church of Culpho to the Abbey of Leystone, founded circa 1182 by Ranulf de Glanvill.
The Sheriff owes upon balance the sum of 5 marks, which was carried forward to the next year's account, as a debt due from him.
In the year 1166, King Henry had negotiated a marriage for his eldest daughter Matilda with Henry, the Lion Duke of Saxony, and in the present year, 1168-9, the aid (auxilium) on the said marriage was collected by the Sheriffs throughout England, upon the basis of 2 marks from each knight's fee, and in the case of the crown lands, probably a sum assessed upon each town- ship ; but there is no return of any contribution from the tenants by knights' service of the Honor of Lancaster.
Cartmel contributed 2£ marks in 2 tallies.
The men of Salford £14 10s. in 22 tallies.
Robert, son of Henry, ancestor of the Lathom family, contributed 10 marks.
14 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Preston, Singleton, Eibby, Preesall and Ashton, all in Anioun- derness, contributed £10 in 8 tallies.
Ughtred de Singleton, sometimes called Ughtred son of Huck, rendered an account of £20, which may have been assessed upon the remainder of the royal estate in Amounderness. He paid £8 65. 8rf. on account, and owed £11 135. 4d.
The Hundred of West Derby with its members contributed £11 35. id. in 19 tallies.
The towns in Lonsdale Wapentake contributed £26 13s. 4d. in
15 tallies.
Warin serviens or serjeant contributed 2 marks.
Adam son of Bernulf [de Kellet], a tenant of Michael [le Fleming] de Furness in Urswick, rendered an account of 20 marks. He paid 24s. 8d. on account, and owed £12 2s.
Orm de Haydock, probably the father of Alured of luce, in Wigan parish, rendered an account of 10 marks. He paid 13s. 4d. and owed £6.
The Wapentakes of Makerfield and Lonsdale contributed £28 in 10 tallies.
Croxton, in Leicestershire, contributed 2 marks. William, Count of Boulogne, had been a benefactor to the Abbey of Croxton and had endowed it with lands there. There are good grounds for supposing that he was the founder of the abbey, for Willielmus Portarius, the reputed founder, did not obtain a footing here until some years later.
The Sheriff renders an account of £66 13?. 4tf. (100 marks), arising from a general Assize of the County of Lancaster, for defaults and amercements, whereby it appears that this sum was not the result of an Eyre of the Justices, but was a composition or general fine, assessed by competent persons, to discharge the county from liability on account of various negligences, purpres- tures and trespasses within the widely extended forest lands of Lancaster. The Sheriff paid £61 0s. 8d. into the Exchequer and owed £5 12s. 8d on balance.

Henry de Lacy, Lord of Pontefract, contributed a sum to the Aid, based upon the number of knights' fees of new feoffment which he possessed.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 16 HENRY II. (MICn. 1169-MICH. 1170).
At a great Court held in London at Easter, the Sheriffs throughout the country were removed from office by the King and a commission of enquiry issued to the Barons, whereby they were directed to take the oaths of all the Barons, Knights, and Freeholders of each county and to receive their evidence, as to the receipts of the Sheriffs and their servants, and all other special administra- tors of the royal demesne, to ascertain if the Sheriffs had justly enforced the Assize of Clarendon and had honestly collected the aid to marry the King's daughter, the profits of the forests and other sources of royal income. The Sheriffs were afterwards acquitted, but none were replaced in their former office, and a blow was struck at the local influence of the feudal lords by the appointment of many officers of the Exchequer and Curia Eegis to the vacant Magistracies.
William de Vesci quitted office as Sheriff of Lancaster as also of Northumberland, at Easter 1170, consequently he answers for the ferm of £80 only, due at the Easter Term. He paid £75 into the Treasury, took credit for 100s. as the half-year's allowance for 10 librates of land recently granted to William de Valoines, and paid the arrears of 5 marks which had been brought over to his debit from the previous year's account of the ferm of the honor, and so he was quit.
Roger de Herleberg was his successor in office. He rendered his account of the ferm of £120 for the half-year ending at Michaelmas, paying £105 into the Treasury, taking credit for £5 on account of the before-mentioned grant, and owed upon balance the sum of £10
ROLL OF 16 HEN11Y II. (1169-1170). 17
The arrears carried over from the previous year, and remaining due on account of the aid to marry the King's daughter, are duly set out, the payments credited and the balances again carried forward.
Reference to the visit of John Mauduit and William fitz Martin to Lancaster on the King's business, occurred upon the Roll for the 13 Henry II. That visit was probably in connection with the assessment of the aid pir fille marier and probably included an enquiry into the administration of the royal forests of Lancaster, which covered a vast tract of country, more particularly in the Hundred of Lonsdale, where the forest precincts included many townships and extended almost to the very walls of Lancaster Castle. To fell timber, to convert pasture or waste into arable, to make any kind of enclosure, to erect edifices or dispose of the same within this territory, were offences against the oppressive Forest laws ; but notwithstanding the wild and inaccessible nature of the country, there had undoubtedly been a gradual re-settlement of the townships devastated after the Norman invasion and a considerable growth of population within the area described as Forest. The extension of the cultivated area and the erection of houses was the result, and although illegal, had been tacitly permitted all over the county by the Sheriff and Crown officers. But the reign of Henry II produced a greatly improved organization and adminis- tration of the laws throughout the country, and while eager to check the excesses and curtail the power of the feudatories, the King eagerly sought to swell the royal income by placing the control of the counties and the royal estates in the hands of officers of the Exchequer and Curia Regis, as Sheriffs, and organizing a regular and effective eyre of the Justices throughout the realm.
The present roll bears witness to a stricter policy of adminis- tration. Sundry debts due to the King since the time when Geoffrey deValoines became Sheriff in 1164, were brought to light and certified by the writ of John Mauduit and William fitz Martin and by the report of the late Sheriff.
Michael de Furness held 20 \ carucates of land in Furness for a yearly rent of £10. He was in arrears to the extent of two years' rent, and now finds the requisite sureties for payment, viz., Richard le Boteler for 10 marks, Hugh Norman (or Norris) for 100$., and Richard de Win wick for 100s.
Albert Bussel, lord of Penwortham, owes 18 \ marks.
Adam de Montbegon, lord of Hornby and of the fee of Middleton and Bury, owes 75 marks.

18 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Circa September, 1157, the King, at Woodstock, confirmed an agreement made between William fitz Gilbert and the monks of Furness. There are seveial Lancashire men among the witnesses, and also Geoffrey de Valoines, who may at that time have occupied the position of Seneschal of Lancaster to William Count of Boulogne.
It is not improbable that the debts above referred to, had remained from the time when the said Count was in possession of the Honor of Lancaster. If the debts due from Albert Bussel and Adam de Montbegon remained due on account of their reliefs, we should get 1155-1159 as the approximate date of the death of their predecessors, viz., Richard Bussel, the elder brother of Albert, and Roger de Montbegon, father of Adam named in this Roll. Richard Bussel was a benefactor to the Abbey of Croxton.
Robert, son of William (see p. 25), owes 35 marks for the King's pardon and finds sureties for payment, viz., William de Lancaster for 5 marks, Gospatric the son of Orm (ancestor of the Curwens of Workington and cousin to William de Lancaster) for 5 marks, William de Vesci (Baron of Malton and Alnwick) for 10 marks, Michael de Furness for 5 marks, Roger son of Ravenkill for 5 marks, and Adam son of Helye for 5 marks.
Alan de Nevill had held Pleas of the Forest in several counties, but in the County of Lancaster none were held, an assessment or composition of 200 marks being accepted from the whole county, in order that the View of the Forest might be put in respite until another Forest Regard.1 The peculiar conditions already referred to in a previous note, rendered it advisable to compound with the King's Justiciar by the payment of a large sum, rather than undergo a Regard of the Forest, and pay the penalties which would follow the disclosure of widespread trespasses before the Justices in Eyre.
Some time during the years 1189-1194, John, Earl of Mortain, granted by charter that the knights, thanes and freeholders dwelling within the forest of the Honor of Lancaster, should have licence to assart and pasture their own underwoods, and should be acquitted from the Forest Regard, and for this charter they gave
1 A View of the Forest, to be taken by the Regarders every third year, preceded the general eyre of the Forest held by the Justiciar, and no Justice Seat or Picas could bo hold until this View had been taken. All offences against the Forest laws were first tried in the Swanimote, where the Terderers were judges and the freeholders dwelling within the forest, owed suit and service; no judgment or punishment followed there, but the presentments were placed upon a roll to be produced at the General Eyre.
ROLL OF 17 HENRY II. (1170-1171). 19
him the sum of £500. Which charter was confirmed by King John, after his accession to the throne, and likewise by King Henry III., in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Richard de Winwick owes 40 marks for William de Nevill's cattle, which he seized contrary to the King's injunction, and put in no defence when impleaded before the King's Justices.
Richard de Morvill, the younger son of Simon de Morvill, lord of Burgh-on-Sands and Ishall, co. Cumberland, married Avicia, the daughter of William de Lancaster I.1 He offers the King 200 marks for a writ of right to sue for the lands which he claims in marriage with the said Avicia. This points to the fact that William de Lancaster I. was then dead and the action would be taken against the son, or if he was under age, against the guardians.
It does not appear what particular lands Richard de Morvill obtained with his wife. In the year 1189-1190 he and his wife made a grant to the monks of Furness of land in Selside, co. York, held under de Mowbray, which grant was confirmed the following year by their son and heir William de Morvill.

1 William de Lancaster I. held one knight's fee in Amounderness, Lonsdale, and Furness of the Honor of Lancaster. His Kendal fief, however, was held under Hugh de Morrill, lord of Westmorland and grantee in the year 1158 from King Henry of the Custle of Knaresborough and other estates in Yorkshire and West- morland. This Hugh, who was probably the uncle or possibly the brother of Simon de MorviU, lord of Burgh-on-Sands, was one of the four knights who assassinated Thomas a Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, in the year 1170, where- upon he lost all his estates and died soon after in the Holy Land.
The whole County of Westmorland was granted to Philip de Valoines in 1170, when he paid £30 for his relief of four knights' fees for the Barony of Appleby, and two knights' fees for the Barony of Kendal, of which latter estate Willi iin de Lancaster 11. was in cene -tenant under him.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 17 HENRY II. (MICH. 1170-MICH. 1171).
The Sheriff first accounts for the sum of £10 which remained due from the previous year. He had paid it by authority of the King's writ to two officials of the Crown : Eobert Poer, afterwards the King's Marshal, and one Madihus, to whom a further sum of £66 had been paid under the King's direction out of the current year's ferm, doubtless in connection with the expenses of the Irish expedition. A further sum of £14 lis. has been expended upon the construction of two wooden towers to be dispatched into Ireland for siege purposes. The King sailed for Ireland from Milford Haven on October 16th, 1171, and the Pipe Eolls contain numerous references to the dispatch of stores, ships, and the Treasury for the army in Ireland.
The King had granted nine librates of land, being the Manor of Stainsby in the Hundred of Scarsdale, co. Derby, before Michael- mas, 1170, to William fitz Walkeline, for one niais hawk yearly. This grant was afterwards confirmed by King Henry in December, 1174, when he was at Chivilli (Chevaillec). Stainsby was part of the Domesday fief of Eoger of Poictou.
The Sheriff also claims allowance for four librates and six- teen solidates of land in Drakelow, held by serjeanty. This is a reference to an antecedent grant for which he had previously neglected to claim allowance. Nigel de Gresley was the Domesday tenant, and his estates had been taken into the King's hands after the rebellion of Eoger of Belesme, in 1102-3. Drakelow was afterwards restored to him, not as a military fief however, but to be held as a petit serjeanty, by the yearly render of a bow without string, a quiver, twelve arrows and a wooden chest, and at the date of this roll was held by Eobert de Gresley, grandson of Nigel. In the Domesday Survey under Derbyshire, he is called Nigel de Statford, and is returned as a tenant in capite of Drakelow. In the Staffordshire Survey, he is described as " Nigellus," being also returned as a tenant in capite of Thorpe (postea Thorpe Con- stantine), this being accounted for by the fact, that Eoger of Poictou's fief, (of which it was a member), had been temporarily taken into the King's hands at the time of the Survey ; but Thorpe was never restored, and there is no trace of the Gresleys having after- wards held any interest in it, although it continued to remain as parcel of the Honor of Lancaster. The Survey, however, has the following entry respecting Thorpe : " Hanc terram calumniatur Nicolaus (de Beauchamp, the lord of Chartley and Sheriff of co.
22 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Stafford) ad firuum Regis de Clifton " : Clifton being a King's Manor adjacent to Thorpe. The claim may have been based on orders to the Sheriff to take the lands of Roger of Poictou into the King's hands, and the local jury may have misunderstood the grounds of the claim.
Under Yorkshire an entry occurs, which shows that the Abbot of Furnes3 had been in possession of some land to which his title was disputed. He had been impleaded, and had elected to defend the suit by duel.1

1 The form of action by which land could be recoYcred in the twelfth century, where there was no contract between the parties, or special relationship, as in the case of a widow's uction for dower, or of an advowson, was as follows : — The plaintiff either sent a writ of right (breve de recto tenendo) to the lord of whom the disputed land was held, bidding him do justice between them, or else served the tenant with a Prcecipe quod reddat% summoning him at once into the King's Court. If the plaintiff was doubtful of obtaining justice in the Lord's Court, the action could be carried into the County Court, or from thence into the Curia Regis. But a price had to be paid for licence to take action, hence the above entry. The procedure was very slow, and the action might remain in suspense for months, or even years. Ample opportunity of appearing and producing evidence was given, and an obstructive defendant might gain time by an essoin, pleading that he was ill in bed (essonia de malo lecli), or that he was stopped by floods or snow (essonia de malo veniendi). The tenant must be allowed to call to warranty the person by whose grant he claimed to hold, and he in turn might call in his warrantor. Hence long delajs, albeit that in the end this action decided the question of best right once aud for ever.
At this date proceedings by wager of battle were still in force, and when the defendant happened to have a good champion, he frequently elected to defend the suit by duel, rather than avail himself of the decision of the Courts.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 18 HENRY II. (MICH. 1171-MICH. 1172).
As in the account of the previous year's ferm, the Sheriff treats the thirteen librates and sixteen solidates of land granted out of the royal estate, as a debt due from the grantees, and awaits the royal confirmation of the grant before claiming allowance for this reduction in the ferm of the honor.
This year a Scutage of 20s. on each knight's fee was levied for the war in Ireland. The Sheriff answers for £68 16*. 5d. for the scutage of sixty-eight fees, a half, a quarter, and the fourteenth part of a knight's fee, of those held of the Honor of Lancaster, which he had been able to find. He paid into the Exchequer the sum due from fifty one knights' fees, a half, a quarter, and the fourteenth part of a knight's fee. Ranulf de Glanvill, the Justiciar, vas excused his quota from one knight's fee in Thorpe Bussel, co. Suffolk, which Albert (?) Bussel had given to Gutha (Edith ?), sister of the said Eanulph, in dower. It descended to Ranulf de Glanvill's daughter Amabil, who married Ralph de Ardern, who afterwards enfeoffed Roger de Muriell in this fee. It had been part of the Domesday fief of Roger of Poictou. The Sheriff had still to account for the quota due from sixteen fees.
The King excuses Ughtred de Singleton, Adam son of Bernulf, and Orm de Haydock, the arrears due from them for the aid pur filh maricr, which had been carried over yearly since 1169, on account of their poverty and because they had paid into the Exchequer what they could, when they were in charge of the collection of the aid.
Several payments have been recently made on account of arrears previously noted. The reference to Adam de Montbegon's debt of 75 marks, which was apparently excused by Richard de
ROLL OF 21 HENRY II. (1174-1175). 25
Lucy's writ, is not very intelligible, except on the supposition that this sum had been paid to John Malherbe by the authority of the King's writ, and that the Sheriffs responsibility in the matter had thereby terminated.
Robert, son of William, had liquidated 25 marks of his arrears by a payment of 22 marks to the Exchequer and 3 marks by the King's authority paid to Roger Bacon and Henry Pienu. The balance, 10 marks, was to be recovered from William de Vesci, the recently suspended Sheriff of the honor.
Ughtred, son of Huck, whom I take to be the same individual previously described as Ughtred de Singleton, owes 2 marks which he had charged for the pannage of swine of the tenants in Single- ton.
Under Yorkshire an entry discloses the number of knights' fee3 held by Henry de Lacy of his fee of Pontefract, and upon which his Scutage in lieu of knight's service in the campaign in Ireland was assessed. He had forty- four and three-quarter fees "de veteri feoflfamento " and thirty-one fees and the fifteenth part of a fee " de novo feoflfamento." The essence of the King's enquiry in 1166 as to knight's service lay in the fact that although the crown knew the amount of service due from each fief, as it had existed for a long period before 1166, it did not know the number of milites actually enfeoffed by each baron and his predecessors down to that date, with the number of servitia due from each such miles to the baron. As a result of the return of 1166, there was a large increase in the incidence of scutage ; in the case of Henry de Lacy's Yorkshire fief amounting to nearly 70 per cent.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 21 HENRY 11. (MICH. 1172-MICH. 1175).
The accounts of the ferm of the Honor of Lancaster for the two years ending at Michaelmas, 1174, were not returned by the Sheriff until Michaelmas, 1175, no doubt owing to the rebellion of that portion of the baronage, which, as Professor Stubbs remarks, " inherited the traditions of the Conquest and the ancient Norman spirit," and had been awaiting a suitable opportunity to rebel
28 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
against King Henry, on account of his progressive measures for the curtailment of feudal power.
Koger de Herleberg quitted office at Easter, 1173, and at Michaelmas, 1175, he rendered hi3 account of arrears : for the year 1170, £4 10s. ; for the year 1171, £13 16s., and for the year 1172, £13 16s. ; total arrears £32 2s. The Sheriff had continued to charge himself with the ferm of Stainsby for 2£ years past, although the King had given it to William fitz Walkeline at Easter, 1170, and for the ferm of Drakelow for two years past, which had been given as a petit serjeanty by King Henry I to Nigel de Gresley, and was now held by the grandson of Nigel (see page 21). This was a matter of old account, which the Sheriff had overlooked and neglected to claim allowance for. At Michaelmas, 1172, he had received the King's writ authorising the allowance of these sums. Afterwards they appear yearly in the account known as the Corpus Comitatus.
So far his account had dealt with the ferm of the honor to Michaelmas, 1172. He therefore rendered his account for the ensuing half-year ending at Easter, 1173, when he quitted office, and was thereupon quit.
Kanulf de Glanvill entered office at Easter, 1173, and held office during a year of great turmoil. In July the Justiciar, Richard de Lucy, upon whom devolved the defence of the country in the King's absence, besieged and took Leicester, but failed to take the castle which was held by the officers of Hugh Bigod, Earl of Norfolk, one of the leaders of the rebellion. In rendering his account for the year, Kanulf Glanvill was unable to pay anything to the Treasury, but is excused by the King's writ the sum of £45 13s. lOd. (should be £45 10s. 10tf.), which was not forth- coming on account of the war at Leicester, and by default of Hamon de Mascy, one of the Earl of Chester's barons, who was on the side of the rebels. He owed £120 13s. 2d. upon balance for the ferm of the honor.
The next year, 1174, Kanulf Glanvill took an active part in defeating and taking captive the King of Scots at Alnwick. Some time during the half-year ending at Michaelmas, he was succeeded in office by Kalph fitz Bernard ; they were consequently associated in rendering an account of the sum of £120 due at that term. The sum of £16 18s. was allowed to them jointly on account of the royal grants ; £12 10s. was allowed to Kalph fitz Bernard on account of deficiency in the ferm by reason of the said
ROLL OF 21 HENRY II. (1172-1175). 29
war ; £39 Is. had been paid by him to the Treasury, and of the balance, — £51 lis., the sum of £38 15s. 8d. remained due from Eanulf Glanvill, which lie had collected in pence (the general name of the issues of the honor), and £12 15s. 4d. remained due jointly, pending an enquiry as to the apportionment of the sums which the one had collected during the others term of office.
During his term of office Ranulf Glanvill had received from Michael de Furness, the moiety of the debt due from him to the King, which has already been referred to ; and certain issues of lands which had been taken into the King's hands, perquisites of courts and taxes of manors parcel of the honor, belonging to the period of the war, amounting to the sum of £12 Os. 4d., of which details are given, viz. : —
£3 4s., the ferm of Navenby, which had been the Chamber- lain of TancarviH'8 land.
18s. 8d., the ferm of Wellingore, which Eustace Cade held.
£4 10s. for tallage assessed upon Navenby by William Basset.
£1 7s. 4d. for tallage assessed upon Wellingore by the same.
13s. 3d. for grain sold in Wellingore.
£1 Is. for booty seized in Hamon de Mascy's land.
William de Tancarvill was the son of Eabel de Tancarvill, Chamberlain of Normandy, and according to Benedictus (Vol. I., p. 45) he was one of Prince Henry's partisans in the rebellion of 1173.
Eustace Cade also appears to have taken part in the rebellion against the King, and so to have forfeited his lands in Wellingore and Navenby.
In 1163-4 the King had granted to Eustace, son of William Cade, ten librates of land in Navenby, formerly part of Durand Malet's Domesday fief, which having escheated to the crown, had been incorporated in the Honor of Lancaster of Henry I. Eustace Cade had enfeoffed William de Tancarvill in a part of the estate lying in Navenby. After this forfeiture the King used to receive £13 yearly from Navenby.
The whole of Eanulf GlanvilPs indebtedness amounted to £181 9s. 2d. The King afterwards excused him the whole sura. The ferm of the honor for the current year ending at Michaelmas, 1175, remained to be accounted for by the new Sheriff, Kalph litz Bernard. Upon the termination of the rebellion and the
30 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
restoration of order, it became possible for the Sheriff to collect the ferm of the honor, and he was able to pay the whole balance into the Treasury, after claiming allowance for £23 16s. reduction of the ferm by the royal grants previously noted, and a further reduction of £10 on account of ten librates of land granted to Stephen de Saukevill in Mendham, County Suffolk. This had been part of the Domesday fief of Roger of Poictou. Afterwards Roger de Huntingfield held Mendham for one fee by knight's service.
It is noteworthy, in reference to the rebellion of the years 1173-4, that King Henry's success was chiefly due to the manner in which the people, and notably those of Yorkshire, supported his cause, testifying to the constitutional hold which the King had on the body of the nation.
The King's clemency was remarkable. He did not take re- venge upon his enemies by executions or wholesale confiscations, but converted his enemies to friendship by his mercy. As an example, the Staffordshire Pipe Roll for the current year shows that Hamon de Mascy obtained the King's pardon and goodwill and recovered his estate, by paying a fine of 300 marks, 10 hounds, and 10 hawks.
Only one of the remaining entries requires notice, the others having already been under observation. In the notes upon the Pipe Roll for the year 1169-70, it was seen that no View of the Forests had been lately held in the County of Lancaster, and that the county had escaped the consequences of the holding of Forest Pleas by a composition of 200 marks. Since then, however, Pleas of the Forest had been held by Alan de Nevill, the Forest Justice, and his associates, Robert Mantel and William fitz Ralph, who had imposed fines amounting to £93 135. 4 d., for waste committed within the forests in the cutting down of timber or underwood, and for assarts.1

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 22 HENRY II. (MICH. 1175-MICH. 1176).
The only new item in the account of the ferm of the county, is the grant of twenty librates of land in Croxton Keyrial, in Leicestershire to Engeran le Porter and Eoger de St. Aubin about the end of June, 1176. King Henry made this giant of two parts of Croxton and of Sedgebrook, in exchange lor Corsham and Conington.
It is evident from the date of this grant, that William, Earl of Boulogne, was the founder of the Abbey of Premonstratensian Canons at Croxton, and that William le Porter, son of the above grantee, was not the founder as stated by Tanner, and repeated by Dugdale on his authority, but only a very substantial benefac- tor at a later period. Margery de St. Aubin and Wymer (?) her son were also benefactors. See Dugdale's Monasticon, Vol. VI., p. 376-7 ; where there is an account of this manor, erroneously described as of the Honor of Eye, through various possessors, — Hubert de Burgh among others — until King John's grant to Bertram de Kyriall, who probably gave the township its distinctive name.
Richard, son of Roger, lord of Lytham and Bryning, held one- fourth part of a knight's fee in Argar Meles of the fief of Penwor- tham. Appurtenant to this fee were Simonswood and Kirkby, which had been afforested and put within fence after the corona- tion of King Henry. Richard, son of Roger, offered the sum of 5 marks that the Justiciars might be directed to enquire the truth concerning the said Richard's estate in Kirkby. It had been taken into the King's hands, because he had married his daughter
ROLL OF 22 HENRY II. (1175-1170). 33
Matilda to Robert de Stockport, without the King's licence. The result of the enquiry is recorded hereafter in the roll of 20 Henry IL
Walter Barat of Preston discharged a debt of 4 marks which he had incurred in withdrawing from his appeal before the Justices. An appeal — literally the calling someone before the Justices — might be of various kinds, as of homicide, of wounding, of imprisonment, of robbery, of arson, or of larceny. The appellor or accuser could not withdraw at his own will ; it was the privilege of the King to dispense justice, and anyone wishing to withdraw must fine with the King or his representatives, the Justices, for permission to do so.
Gilbert, son of Waltheof, had been outlawed. The reason is not disclosed, but the rebellion of 1173-4 offers sufficient grounds, in the absence of any other evidence, for the supposition that he had taken part against the King with the rebellious barons. The magnitude of the fine which he offered for remission of sentence of outlawry, and restitution of his office and lands, is explained by the fact that he held by inheritance the office of Master Sergeant of the Wapentake of West Derby, and lands in Walton, Waver- tree, and Newsham by grand serjeanty, conferred upon his father Waltheof, by William, Count of Boulogne, Mortain, and Warren. Henry de Walton afterwards obtained from King John a confir- mation of the said lands and office, previously confirmed to his father Gilbert, son of Waltheof, when John was Count of Mortain and Boulogne. He also obtained the restitution of an estate at Chesterton in co. Stafford, given by King Henry to the said Waltheof circa 1155-1157, which Gilbert de Walton had forfeited about this time (Pipe Roll 1 John).
A similar instance of a heavy fine occurs in the Westmorland Pipe Roll of 22 Henry II., when Gospatric, son of Orm, paid a fine of 500 marks for having surrendered Appleby Castle to William the Lion, King of Scotland, during the Scotch invasion of 1174.
Ughtred, son of Huck, ancestor of the family of Singleton, held one carucate of land in Broughton by grant from William, Count of Boulogne, Mortain, and Warren. He is here recorded as offering 5 marks for the King's warranty of land given to him by Geoffrey de Valoines. It may be, therefore, that William de Warren's charter was merely confirmatory of Geoffrey's grant. There is, however, in this entry some confirmation of the supposition that Geoffrey de Valoines had been Earl Warren's Seneschal, and that the " debita Regis " previously referred to (page 15) were actually
34 TIIE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
arrears, which had remained unpaid from the time when Earl Warren was lord of the Honor of Lancaster.
This Ughtred is sometimes called Ughtred de Singleton, and it is probable that he had a grant of half a carucate of land in Singleton, from William, Count of Boulogne, to hold by grand serjeanty of the Wapentake of Amounderness, which office and land certainly descended by inheritance to his grandson, Alan de Singleton, who died circa 29 Henry III. He offered 100s. that he might have the marriage of another daughter of Eobert, son of Eeinward, whose heirs were in ward to the King. This Eobert, son of Eeinward, was a nephew of Eichard (fitz Warin) Bussel, and was one of the witnesses to the latter's grant to the monks of Evesham, of a fouith part of his fishing of Penwortham.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 23 HENRY II. (MICH. 1176-MICH. 1177).
Ranulph Glanvill's various debts, amounting to a total sum of £194 4a. 6d., are again particularized, and the whole sum pardoned by the authority of the King's writ. Doubtless he was able to prove that he had been at great expense, in raising the forces with which he materially contributed to the defeat and capture of William, King of Scots, at Alnwick in July, 1174.
There had been an escheat of land to the crown before Michael- mas, 1175, probably three carucates, in the Manor of Marton.
At this period the towns of Ashton (near Preston), Great Marton, and Blackrod were in the King's hands, as part of the Honor of Peverel, which had been taken into the King's hands when William Peverel, of Nottingham, forfeited his estates for poisoning Ranulph, Earl of Chester. Great Marton, however, descended to the family of Ferrers, by the marriage of William Ferrers with Margaret, daughter and heir of the said William Peverel, and had recently been taken into the King's hands on account of Robert Ferrers' participation in the recent rebellion of the Barons. It was afterwards included in the grant of Amounderness to Theobald Walter by Richard I. in April, 1194. King John, when he wa3 Count of Mortain, granted Blackrod to Hugh le Norris for his homage and service, and the render of 20s. yearly ; and Ashton to Arthur, or Arctur de Ashton in free thanage by the service of 10s. yearly.
This year, in anticipation of a great expedition to Normandy, King Henry levied an aid (auxilium) or tallage upon his royal demesnes and upon the lands held in thanage, drengage, and at fee farm. The assessors were William fitz Ralph, William Basset, and Michael Belet, of whom the first two were Justiciars, appointed by the Statute of Northampton, held there January 26th, 1176, to
ROLL OF 24 HENRY II. (1177-1178). 37
go on the circuit of the Counties of Lincoln, Notts., Derby, Stafford, Warwick, Northants., and Leicester, together with Hugh de Gun- devill.
The assessment of 38 J marks had been made upon the royal demesnes " extra comitatum," and possibly upon lands held at fee farm, lying within the Honor in other counties.
The town of Preston was assessed at £16 10s., a sum which points to the importance of the place even at tliis early date. A few years later the King made it a free borough.
Thorpe was a manor lying near Bretherton, and was an escheat from the Barony of Penworthani.
The thanes and drenghs held about one hundred carucates of land, yielding about £33 yearly, or one-sixth of the whole ferm of the county ; they were assessed at 72£ marks.
The Boll supplies a full list of the royal demesnes in Lanca- shire at this time, which — excluding the town of Preston and the escheated manor of Thorp — numbered twenty-five manors with their hamlets, having an effective outfit of fifty-eight and a- half carucce or plough teams, a breeding stock of cattle to maintain this number of teams, and pigs and sheep sufficient to provide subsis- tence for the population engaged in tilling the royal estate. The Aid was levied at the rate of 1 mark for each caruca. The thanes and drenghs apparently contributed to the Aid upon a lower basis of assessment.
The total aid from the Honor amounted to £130 4s. 8d.

NOTES ON THI PIPE ROLL OF 24 HENRY II. (MICH. 1177-MICH. 1178).
In the account of the Corpus Comitatus the usual routine entries occur, and various payments are made on account of the debts previously noted.
ROLL OF 24 HENRY II. (1177-1178). 39
Thomas fitz Bernard, the Forest Justice, had been in Eyre of the forests during the fiscal year in this county. He again accepts a composition — this time of 100 marks — from the knights and others dwelling within the forests, in order that they might have respite from the next View of the Forest. In the year 1170 the county paid a composition of 200 marks for respite.
The names of a number of the secular clergy and other per- sons holding lands in the Hundreds of Leyland, West Derby, and Salford occur as owing various sums of money for fines imposed upon them by the Forest Justices for waste or assarts made within the precincts of the forest in those hundreds.
Eobert, Archdeacon of Chester, owes 100s. " pro foresta." His name does not appear in the list of archdeacons given in the History of Cheshire, Vol. I., p. 113. His fine remained as a debt upon many successive Pipe Eolls, from which it would appear that he had no land within the Honor. His offence may have been that of felling timber without licence.
If Albert Bussel was still alive he must have been a very old man. His wife's name was Leticia. Her brother Humphrey, clericvs, was fined 1 m. " pro foresta."
Jordan, dean of Manchester ; Stephen, clericys of the church of Walton on the Hill ; Richard, clericus of the church of Prescot ; Adam, presbyter ; Robert, presbyter of Childwall ; Adam, clericus of the church of North Meols, and Adam, dean of Kirkham in Amounderness, were all fined " pro foresta."
Geoffrey de Longton was a free tenant of Albert Bussel's in Leyland and Longton. His son Robert, son of Geoffrey, is named in Hugo Bussel's charter of confirmation of the grants made by his grandfather, uncle and father, to the Abbey of Evesham.
Richard, son of Henry, was probably brother of Robert, lord of Lathom, and the ancestor of the Torbocks of Torbock.
The Testa de Nevill (Vol. II., fol. 823) records that Albert Gredle [11 66-1182] enfeoffed Thomas de Perpont in three carucates of land in Rumworth and Lostock by the service of the third part of one knight's fee. In the reign of King John this was held by Richard de Perpont, named in this Pipe Roll. (Testa de Nevill, Vol. II., f. 791.)
The same authority (Vol. II., f. 816) records that Richard Bussell [? 1135-1160] gave two carucates of laud in Standish and Langtree to Robert Spileman in marriage with his sister. Siward de Standish was a witness to Albert Bussel's charter of
40 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
confirmation to the Abbey of Evesham, and is no doubt the indi- vidual mentioned here. By a fine levied at Westminster, on the Octave of Holy Trinity, 8 John [5th June, 1206], these two carucates of land were partitioned between Siward de Langtree and Ralph de Standish, the former taking the carucate of land in Langtree, one moiety of the advowson of the church of Standish, a moiety of the commonable wood in Standish, and 16 acres of assarted land lying near the said wood ; the other taking the carucate of land in Standish, the other moiety of the advowson, and of the wood, and 16 acres of assarted land. Both Ralph de Standish and Siward de Langtree1 were witnesses to Robert Bussel's grant of a fishery in Ribble to the Abbey of Evesham.
Roger Pincerna, i.e. " le Boteler," was probably a younger brother of Theobald Walter. He and his wife Qucnilda — who survived him — are mentioned in the Chartulary of Cockersand, together with their sons, Richard, Robert, and Adam. She was afterwards called Quenilda de Wartou.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 25 HENRY II. (MICH. 1178-MICH. 1179).
The Sheriff first accounts for the balance which he owed on account of the ferm of the previous year. He paid it into the Treasury.
In his account of the ferm of the current year, he claims allow- ance for £18 15s. 9d. which he had spent upon the Royal hunts- men and hounds during the six months from November 20, 1178, to May 20, 1179. The King is said to have visited several parts of the kingdom during the months of October, November, and December, 1178, and this item would suggest a visit to the royal forest of Lancaster about the end of the year for the purposes of sport.
The remainder of the Roll merely consists of a re-statement of the debts brought over from the previous year, and records the payment of £50 in reduction of the debt of Gilbert, son of Waltheof.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 26 HENRY II. (MICH. 1179-MICH. 1180).
No new details occur in the account of the ferm of the Honor this year.
" Nova placita et Nov>e conventiones." — This was the usual heading under which the penalties levied by the Justices, during their visit to the county, were recorded in the Pipe Roll.
"De Oblatis Curiae" was the heading under which were recorded the Oblata and Fines proffered to, and accepted by the Curia Regis, sitting at Westminster or following thp King, as he travelled from place to place. The three entries in the roll clearly belong to the latter heading.
ROLL OF 26 HENRY II. (1179-1180). 43
In September, 1179, when King Henry wa3 at Winchester, he granted to the men of Preston a charter of the same liberties that had been recently granted to the men of Newcastle-under-Lyme. It seems probable that the inhabitants of Preston had taken the opportunity afforded by the King's visit to the forest of Lancaster the previous year, to solicit the royal charter which should consti- tute the town a free borough, and that they had proffered to the Curia Regis the sum of 100 marks for the royal favour. The present roll records the payment to the Treasury of the first instalment of 25 marks. Hitherto the town had annually con- tributed the sum of £9 to the ferm of the Honor ; an increment of £6 had been offered, or demanded, as part of the consideration for the charter of liberties, which sum was duly accounted for in the present and subsequent rolls as a permanent augmentation of the ferm of the Honor.
In the year 1176, Richard, son of Roger, had paid 5 marks in order to obtain from the Curia Regis the privilege of an inquest respecting the seizure of Kirkby, in the Hundred of West Derby, which had been taken into the King's hands, because he had married his daughter and heir without the royal licence. This no doubt refers to the marriage of his eldest daughter Matilda to Robert de Stockport, ancestor of the Barons of Stockport. As a result of the enquiry, the Justices inflicted the heavy fine of £100, and the said Richard, finding sureties for payment, recovered possession, paying during the year a first instalment of £13 6s. Sd.
The records relating to Lancashire for the first century after the Norman Invasion are extremely meagre, and the history of the territorial families of that period is correspondingly incomplete and conjectural. This applies to the ancestry of Richard, son of Roger, for whom I am inclined to attribute a Scandinavian origin, as the descendant of one of the Norse invaders, who descended upon the coast of Lancashire in the tenth century.
Raghanald probably flourished as Thane of Lytham, Bootle, Linacre, and Woodplumpton about the time of the Norman Invasion ; his son Ravanchil, or Ravenkil, witnessed Count Roger of Poictou's grant of the church of Lancaster to St. Martin of S(Sez in A.D. 1094: Roger, son of Ravenkil, gave one carucate of land in Linacre to the brethren of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, and his name occurs in records of the period 1130-1157; his son Richard, son of Roger, the founder of
44 THE LANCASHIRE HPE ROLLS.
Lythain Priory, occurs temp. Henry II. and Richard I. By military service the said Richard held —
Kirkby,1 of the Barony of Widnes, by the service of one-fifth
part of one knight's fee. Argarmeols,1 of the Barony of Penwortham, one-fourth part of
one knight's fee. Kellamergh and Burstath Bryning, in capite, of the Honor of Lancaster, one-fourth part of one knight's fee.
In Thanage he held —
Boo tie and Linacre, three carucates, by the service of 13s.
yearly. Woodplumpton, four carucates, by the service of 17 s. 6cL Lytham, two carucates, by the service of 8*. 4td.
These estates descended to his five daughters: Matilda, the wife of Robert de Stockport; Amice, the wife of Thomas de Beetham; Quenild, the wife of Roger Gernet; Margaret, the wife of Hugh de Moreton ; and Avice, the wife of William de Milium. Upon the death of Quenild in 36 Henry III. without issue, her estates were partitioned between the heirs of the two first named.2
The knights and other dwellers in the forests of Lancaster paid a composition of £76 3s. 8d.s in order that the holding of pleas of the forest might be respited.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 27 HENRY II. (MICH. 1180-MICH. 1181).
The entries in this roll relating to Lancashire are mere matters of routine, and a re-statement of debts owing from the previous year, with the exception of the last item.
Richard, son of Waltheof, owes £5 for a writ of right against his men, who were making themselves freemen, when they were, as he claimed, his nativi or villeins. Perhaps his villeins were endeavouring to take action at law or to obtain some legal decision, which would imply that they were free men.1
1 A villein might be enfranchised by the grant from his lord of a deed of manu- mission, by manumission obtained through the intervention of the Church, by escaping to a free borough and dweUing there for the space of a year and a day ; or by implied manumission, as where his lord gave him an estate in fee, for life or years, or brought an action against him ; in fact, by dealing with his villein on the same footing as if he were free, whereby the law presumed that the lord intended to set his villein free.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 28 HENRY II. (MICH. 1181-M1CH. 1182).
In this Roll, after the simple heading " Lancastra," the clerk of the Exchequer, as if to explain the omission to include the county under Northumberland, has added, " because there was not place for it in Northumberland."
In the twenty-fifth year of his reign, Henry II., at a great council held at Windsor, divided the Kingdom into four circuits, and appointed Justices to hold pleas in each division. The most northern consisted of " Notinghamsire, Derebesire, Euerwicsire, Northumberlande, Westmerilande, Cumberlande, Inter Rible et Meresee " and " Loncastre." So far as the present County of Lancaster was concerned, the nomenclature and divisions of the Domesday Survey were still in use. Roger of Poictou is said to have been styled " Comte de Lancastre," but the Honor of Count Roger lay in several different counties, hence the objection to describing the northern part of the Honor (beyond the Lyme), by the title of " Comt£ de Lancastre," or " Comitatus Lancastrian" The convenience, however, of classifying this part of the country as a county or shire, in administrative matters affecting that area, began to be recognised at this time ; " Lancastra " ceases to appear in the Pipe Rolls under Northumberland or Yorkshire, and begins to assumes its position as one of the counties of England.
This year the Sheriff claimed allowance for several small payments made by authority of the King's writ, viz. — 255. lrf. to Warin, the Hunter ; 50s. Id. to James ; 26s. 3±d. to Gibbe, and 7s. 2d. to Peter, son of Bernard, for their respective wages. These payments were probably connected with the King's journey to the north of England in August, 1181, when he accompanied the King of Scots as far as Richmond.
In crediting Richard, son of Roger, with the payments made in liquidation of his Fine the previous year, the Sheriff made an error by stating the balance at 4rf. too much. This year he made another miscalculation, in deducting 4s. more than the actual
48 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
payment. In neither case does the error appear to have been afterwards corrected.
Kichard de Molyneux paid 20s. for licence to make concord with the men of Singleton, concerning a certain new assize. Singleton was one of the royal estates, and I suppose the King's Jumines, resisting some new exaction, had appealed to the Curia Regis, with the result that Richard Molyneux thought fit to make terms with them.
Agnes Bonetable owed 3 marks for a recognition of her right in half a knight's fee in Appleton, held of the barony of Widnes, which acknowledgment she had obtained in the Curia Regis, possibly against John, Constable of Chester. An entry in the Pipe Roll of 1 John, throws a little light upon this entry ; but it can only be surmised that Agnes Bonetable was the daughter and heir of one of the military tenants of this fief, and had been in ward to John, Constable of Chester. Poverty appears to have prevented her paying the 3 (sometimes stated to be 4) marks, which had been proffered in the Curia Regis for the acknowledg- ment of her right. Before King John's accession to the throne she had become the wife of Richard de Venables, who may have been a younger brother of Sir William de Venables, Baron of Kinderton. At any rate, in 1 John, Richard de Venables and Agnes, his wife, gave 20s. for a recognition of mort d' ancestor against Roger, Constable of Chester, concerning this half knight's fee in Appleton, with the appurtenances. Thirty or forty years later Roger de Venables granted by charter to John de Lacy all his right and title in Appleton, Cronton, and Upton. At the time of the Feodary, recorded in the Testa de Nevill, circa 1242, this half fee was held in demesne by Edmund de Lacy, then in his minority.
Adam, Dean of Kirkham1 in Amounderness, had offered 40 marks for the wardship of his nephew, with half a carucate of land, and the marriage of the mother. The locality of the land is unfortunately omitted.
1 In the Fine Roll, 7 John, it is recorded that William, son of Richard, gnve 1 mark for a precipe quod reddat, against Adam the dean, who had the custody of the land and the wardship of the said William.

There is nothing new in the account of the ferm of the Honor this year. The statement of old debts remaining due is repeated year by year, and requires no further comment.
" De Oblatis Curle." — The entries under this heading are also matters of repetition.
"Nova piacita et Nov^e conventiones." — During the year 1183, Thomas fitz Bernard had been in Eyre in the county, probably accompanied by Alan de Furnellis and Robert de Wite- feld. They not only dealt with forest matters, but also with matters of ordinary assize.
The county had neglected to make presentation concerning trespasses and other offences against the Forest, for concealment of which the Justices had imposed fines amounting to 30 marks.

prosecute some one, had withdrawn his plea without licence, and was fined 20*.
Waltheof, the priest, answers for a debt of 4 marks owing by Ralph, son of Gcrvase, who had been killed in the company of outlaws.
Thomas and Bernard, sons of Philip, for default as suitors or sureties at the Assizes, were fined 2 marks.
Henry, Dean of Whalley, described in the pedigree of the Towneley family, as "Henry the younger, successor to Robert, Dean of Whalley/' was fined 5 marks for refusal to give security and sureties to the Justices in connection with some pending suit. He died before the following Michaelmas (1184).
"De oblatis Curle." — Dolfin de Gressingham, a tenant by serjeanty, tendered 1 mark to have his suit with Adam respited until the King's return to England. He held some office in the royal Forest of Lancaster, and desired to be heard before the King in the Curia Regis. The King returned from France on June 10th, 1184.
The Eyre of the Justices had not been productive of a largo sum for fines imposed. Sixteen items only amounted to £6 6s. 8d.f the details of which were contained in a roll which the Justices delivered to the Treasury, leaving the Sheriff to collect this sum from a duplicate roll, which was not however, copied into the Pipe Roll.
Two other individuals had been killed in the company of outlaws, perhaps resistiug arrest. Their goods and chattels real- ized 265. Sd. for the King's benefit

"De placitis forests." — Under this heading a balance of 59«. 4d. remained due in fines for concealment of offences against the forest. The monks of Furness and the brethren of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, were excused their fines, as also was Hugh de Morwich, who held an estate in Farleton and Cants- field under Geoffrey de Valoines, who held by grant from Adam de Montbegon. This Hugh was an officer of the King's Court, and occasionally acted as Justiciar. He held the office of Sheriff of Cumberland, from Easter 1185 to Michaelmas 1186. In addition to the sum remitted for concealments, he was excused 42s. 8d., the quota due fiom himself, or his tenants, towards the fine or compo- sition of £78 3s. M,t accepted by the Justices in 1179-80, for respite of pleas of the forest. In both cases he produced the royal writ excusing the fines.
" De oblatis Curl*:." — Gilbert the Bastard was taking action against Hugh de Winwick for the recovery of his brood mares.
Adam, Dean of Kirkham, had obtained licence to marry his daughter, who was of the King's donation, to [Henry ?], son of Norman de Redman, of Yealand.
Clifton had escheated to the King, by reason of the outlawry of Henry Colt, who had held that land. The issues for the year realized 8s. This would be Clifton in the parish of Eccles.

NOTES ON THE PirE ROLL OF 31 HENRY II. (MICn. 1184-MICn. 1185).
Ralph fitz Bernard quitted office at Easter 1185, having held the post of Sheriff since the summer of 1174. He was succeeded by Gilbert Pipard, who in consequence of his official duties as Justice itinerant, put his brother Hugh in his place to execute the office for him.
A burgage in Preston had escheated to the King, and yielded 2s. for the year.
Kirkdale was also temporarily in the King's hands, the issues realising 2$. for the half year. This estate was a member of the barony of Penwortham, and had been bestowed by Warin Bussel, temp. Henry I., upon one Norman, whose son William granted it to Roger de Kirkdale, who held it at this time. It was no uncom- mon circumstance for an estate to be taken into the King's hands by the Sheriff, when the owner was disobedient to the writ of summons of the Curia Regis, or until he found sureties to answer a summons of the Court. This would explain the temporary seizure recorded here. Roger de Kirkdale dying about the 1-2 John, left by his wife Godith, an only daughter Quenild, afterwards in ward to King John, who married her to Richard, son of Roger.1 In addition to Kirkdale, from which place the said Quenild took her

name, she held, by royal grant, one carucate of land in Forraby, by grand serjeanty of conducting the King's Treasury to Blakebrook, when the Court passed through the Hundreds of West Derby or Leyland. She had two or three daughters ; one married Jordan do Thornhill, who held one carucate of land in thanage by the service of 4s. 8d. yearly ; the others, Emma and Ellen, were parties to a fine levied at Lancaster, 26 Henry III., concerning two oxgangs of land in Kirkdale, in which Emma released all her title to her sister Ellen. In the latter part of the reign of Henry III., William, son of William de Walton, was mesne lord of Kirkdale under Henry de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln.
" Nova placita et Nov/E Conventiones." — Godfrey de Lucy and his associates, Hugh de Morwich, Robert de Vaux (then Sheriff of Cumberland), and Hugh Murdach, or some three of them, had been in Eyre in the Counties of Northumberland, Cumberland, York, and Lancaster during the year 1185. Under the heading " New Pleas and New Conventions/' the present roll discloses an extensive list of cases dealt with by these Justices.
Elias, the clerk of Bolton ; Roger, the Town-crier (?) ; William, son of Alexander, Lein3ig (Lesing ?) de Farnworth, Ulf de South- worth, and Robert, son of Levenoth, were amerced, perhaps for neglect to obey the summons to attend at the Assizes. Jordan, Dean of Manchester, 5 marks for a wrongful ejectment or disseisin; Richard de Roby for a default; Alan, son of Outy, 100s. for failing to produce him for whom he was surety ; Adam de Whalley for withdrawing from his appeal without the licence of the Justices.
The whole County of Lancaster was amerced £20 for conceal- ment of Pleas of the Crown, and the Wapentake of Furness 3 marks for the same default.
The town of Preston had been exercising judicial rights not included within the scope of their charter of liberties, and without royal warrant. Some luckless being, charged no doubt with the commission of a serious offence, had been subjected to the ordeal by water, and had doublless perished in the Ribble.
The Sheriff had collected fines amounting to £11, which he had delivered into the Treasury, with the roll containing the details of some twenty-two convictions.
The county again obtained respite from Pleas of the Forest by a general commutation, for the sum of 50 mark3.
The following persons obtained licence to make concords respecting pleas of land : — Osbert, son of Robert, concerning two
58 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
oxgangs of land; Richard de Eland and Gilbert de Notton, Alexander the Merchant, Henry de Heselee, Game] de Morton, Richard, son of Dolfin, and Robert, son of Ughtred [de Singleton],
Alexander, son of Alexander, paid 100s., and Alexander de Redivale, 2 marks, to be under safe pledges, i.e., to be secure from attachment by their bodies or goods, upon finding good sureties.
Ailsy and Gamel de Sline, and their associates, had been mulcted in the sum of 20s. for the King's hawks, which they had lost.
Roger, son of Ulfiet (Uvieth), fined for licence to return into Court, i.e., to obtain a new trial.
Richard and Adam de Smeedon paid a fine of 1 mark that tho fishery in the Mersey, near the pales of Toxteth Park, which they held at farm, might not be taken from them.
"Dk Oblatis Curle per Ranulphum de Glanvilla." — Roger le Boteler had proffered 5 marks for a writ to summon Richard and Robert, the sons of Ughtred, son of Huck, before the Justices of the Curia Regis, to declare whether they claimed to hold two carucates of land in Claughton at farm or in fee. A few years later the same brothers were defending a suit respecting land in Broughton, in which Theobald Walter was the plaintiff. The elder brother Richard was ancestor of the family of Singleton, between whom and the Butlers of Rawcliffe there appears to have been litigation, extending over a long period, respecting the former's right to the Manor of Broughton.
William, son of Bernard de Hest, gave 10 marks to have livery of his father's land in Hest and Caton. He held, temp. John, one carucate of land in Middleton and half a carucate of land in Hest in thanage, by grant from the King, by the service of 21s. Ad. yearly.
Benedict Gernet had been making an agreement concerning some offence which ought to have been presented before the Justices of Assize. This was equivalent to the concealment of a plea of the Crown.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 32 HENRY II. (MICH. 1185-MICH. 1186).
Gilbert Pipard, the recently appointed Sheriff, was still represented in office by his brother Hugh, who answers for the
ROLL OF 32 HENRY II. (1185-1186). 61
balance of 100*. remaining due for the previous year's ferm of the manors of the Honor of Lancaster.
He also answers for 55s. 7d., the issues of land which belonged to Roger, son of Ranulph de Gameleston, of Gameleston and Maresey, co. Notts., recently deceased, whose son and heir, Ranulph de Maresey, was in ward to the King. The land consisted of four carucates in the townships of Little Bolton, Breightmet, Radcliffe, and Urmeston, which he hela temp. John, in capite, by the service of 10s. yearly and one judge. His father during his lifetime had founded the Priory of Mattersey or Marsey, co. Notts. (Monasticon, Vol. VI. p. 965.)
The arrears of fines remaining due from the Eyre of Godfrey de Lucy and his associates are fully set out, payments made and allowances to the brethren of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem being duly recorded.
"De oblatis Curle." — William de Furness paid 20 marks for livery of his father's land, as I suppose. He was son and heir of Michael le Fleming de Furness, who held twenty and a half carucates of land in Furness.
"Nova placita de foresta." — Nigel fitz Alexander and Ernise de Nevill had been in Eyre during the year, and had held Pleas of the Forest in several counties, including Lancashire. The regard of the Forest was again respited, the county offering the sum of 50 marks in lieu thereof.
Ralph fitz Bernard, the late Sheriff, renders an account of £8 for the ferm of Caton, which had been in the King's hands for eight years, during the minority of William, son of Bernard de Hest, who had paid 10 marks the previous year for livery of this land. The Sheriff produces the King's writ discharging him from liability for this sum, because — as I understand it — he had already accounted for it in the Dorset Pipe Roll.
The Sheriff had collected the fines arising from five convictions against the Forest, of which details are given : — Warin the Fal- coner for keeping dogs in the forest, contrary to assize, i.e., which had not been expedited in accordance with the Assize of Wood- stock1 ; Harold of Lancaster for vaccaries or cow sheds for the
1 Only certain breeds of dogs, such as mastiffs, were permitted to be kept within the precincts of the forests, and these were to be used only for the protection of houses, goods, or live stock. According to the Assize of Woodstock, temp. Henry II., aU such dogs were to be la wed, expedited or hambled, i.e., rendered lame by the mutilation of cutting off the claws of the fore-feet.

cattle pasturing in the forest ; Payn de Newton1 and William, son of Godfrey the Smith, for offences against the vert ; Guillot, the Prior of Lancaster's bailiff, for failing to produce some one before the Justices for whom he was surety.
The Prior of Lancaster rendered account of his own fine of 405. for some default made before the Justices, either in person or by some one for whom he had become surety.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 33 HENRY II. (MICH. 1186-MICH. 1187).
The office of Sheriff was executed this year, by Gilbert Pipard's brother Peter, as his deputy.
At Easter, 1187, King Henry granted fifty-eight solidates of land out of his royal demesne in Wellingore, in the parts of Kesteven, co. Lincoln, to one Victor.
The estates of Roger, son of Ranulph de Maresey, whose heir
1 deb3.
KOLL OF 33 HEKKY II. (1186-1187). 65
was in ward to the King, yielded an additional sum of 10s. from
the previous year, and 44s. 4d. for the current year, exclusive of
the land which had been assigned to the widow for her dower.
Nova placita et Nov^e Conventiones. — Arnise de Nevill,
William le Vavassour, Roger de Hovenden (Hoveden), and Geoffrey
de Haye, had been in Eyre in the county this year, and had held
Forest Pleas. An assessment of 100 marks had been levied upon
the inhabitants of the Forests of Lancaster for respite from the
Forest Regard. The brethren of the Hospital of St John of
Jerusalem were excused their quota, by the King's writ.
Fines amounting to £29 lis. 8d. had been imposed upon
various townships and individuals, but the details were only
entered in the roll which the Justices delivered to the Treasury.
The Sheriff having already collected these fines, had paid them to
the Treasury in 18 tallies, and only entered in the Pipe Roll details
of the following fines, which had not been paid in full.
Stephen de Walton answered for 40s., the fine imposed upon
him for a " lodge " erected within the precincts of the Forest.
William de Craven, Benedict de Pennington, of Bolton in
Furne8S, Adam de Blakeburn, Richard de Harwood, and Robert,
Archdeacon of Chester, owed sundry fines for default ; Henry de
Bilsborough and Adam son of Ethulf, for destruction of their
neighbours' corn crops by the trespass of their cattle ; Daniel de
Euxton, Com . . ,'s son, of the same place, and William de
Kearsley, for failing to produce before the Justices those for whom
they were sureties ; Arnald of Preston for an amerciament.
De oblatis Curle. — Simon, son of Huckman, of Cartmel, had
proffered 10 marks for livery of the land, and appointment to the
office held by his father, probably that of bailiff. They both
witnessed the grant of one of the moieties of Newby, made to the
monks of Furnes3 by Robert de Boisvill and Margaret his wife.
Thomas de Golborne paid 33s. 4d. for his relief of the third
part of one knight's fee, which his father Augustine held of the
Fee of Makerfield, in Golborne, being at the usual rate of 100s.
the knight's fee.
An estate late belonging to Hamon de Mascy, of Dunham
Mascy, had been temporarily in the King's hands; the issues
amounted to 8s. The Sheriff may have been directed to take the
land into the King's hands, until the King's rights had been
ascertained by inquest and until the heir, if of full age, had done
homage and fealty and given pledges for the payment of his relief.

De Scutagto Militum ejusdem Honoris. — On the death of Gilbert, son of Fergus, Lord of Galloway, on the 1st January, 1185, his nephew Eoland, son of Ughtred son of Fergus, had seized upon Galloway, to the disinheritance of Duncan, son and heir of Gilbert, the said Duncan being in ward to King Henry II. During the summer of 1186, the " Scutage of Galwey " was put in charge, and King Henry moved northward to Carlisle, accompanied by William of Scotland and David his brother, to head the expedition against the intruder. The expedition however, ended at Carlisle upon the receipt from Roland of satisfactory promises of submission to the King's judgment. Nevertheless, the Scutage, at the rate of £1 upon each knight's fee, was put in course of collection from all those who had not performed military service by accompanying the King in this expedition.
The Sheriff of Lancaster returned sixty-eight knights' fees and the twentieth part of a fee, as all that he was able to find, as held of the Honor of Lancaster. Feudatories holding nineteen fees, one-sixth part, and one-fourteenth part of a fee, were excused their quota by royal writ, as they hud provided esquires to serve in the place of the knights reseant in their fees.
Eoger de Montbegon was excused his quota from six knights' fees, which he held of the Honor of Lancaster extra Comitatum de Lancastra, Le. in Lincolnshire.
Eanulph Glanvill was also excused his quota from one knight's fee, which he held in Thorpe Bussel, co. Suffolk.
Roger Esturmy held three knights' fees in Iken and Buxhall, lying near the river Ore, a few miles from Oreford, co. Suffolk. King Henry had taken into his own hands the fishery which lay beneath his Castle of Oreford, which formed part of Esturmy's fee, and in compensation now remitted by writ the scutage of one knight's fee.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 34 HENRY II. (MICH. 1187-MICH. 1188).
The Sheriff had still to account for the balance of £24 remaining due for the ferm of the previous year. He does so by claiming allowance for the ferm of land in Cartmel for a period of one
70 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
year and nine months, which King Henry had recently granted to William Marshall. It is not quite clear whether the original grant was of fourteen librates, dating from Christmas, 1185 (on which basis the ferm for one year and nine months would amount to £24 105.), or of thirty-two librates, dating from Christmas, 1186 (in which case the ferm for nine months would amount to £24), the statements in the Eoll being somewhat contradictory. In the account of the current year, the Sheriff claimed allowance for thirty-two librates, and in one or two subsequent years for thirty- three librates, the difference between the two sums being pro- bably a matter of adjustment between the Sheriff and the Treasury. It is however quite clear that the grant ultimately consisted of thirty-two librates.
Cartmel contained nine carucates of land, probably held in bondage. The large contribution to the ferm of the Honor, suggests carucates of considerable acreage, and receipts from other sources, such as mills, fisheries, etc.
In the year 1189, William Marshall espoused Isabel, daughter and heir of Richard de Clare, by which marriage he acquired the Earldom of Pembroke. Between September, 1189, and Easter, 1194,1 he founded at Cartmel a priory of Canons Eegular of St. Augustine, having induced some of the monks of that Order to transfer themselves to that new foundation, from the priory founded in 1142, by William de Evreux, Lord of Salisbury, at Bradenstoke, in Wiltshire.
The Sheriff still owed 30$. on account of the " Scutage of Galwey," towards which he received 10s. collected by, or due from, Theobald Walter. He also accounted for 20s. received from Robert Bertram for the scutage of one knight's fee in Frettenham, co. Norfolk, which had not been included in his account of the collection of the scutage the previous year.
Nova placita et NoViE Conventiones. — The Eyre of the
1 Tanner attributes this foundation to the year 1188, apparently upon the strength of a Fine levied at Weetminster, on the octave of St. Hillary, 9 John, between William, Prior of Cartmel, and Ralph de Beetham, respecting tho common fishery in the river Kent, which Fine he erroneously attributes to the 1 Richard I. The charter of foundation, however, declares that William Marshall made the grant of Cartmel in frankalmoign, and for the health of the souls [inter alia] of King Richard and his, the founder's, wife Isabel, whom he married in the year 1189, shortly before Richard's coronation, which took place on the 3rd September, 1189. It is therefore probable that the foundation was made after September, 1189, and before Johr, Count of Mortain, the King's brother (who confirmed William Marshall's grant), lost his Lancashire fief.

Justices, in the year 1187, appears to have been continued after Michaelmas by Godfrey de Lucy, Josceline, Archdeacon of Ciren- cester, and William le Vavasour. Fines for the concealment of Pleas of the Crown had been imposed upon the whole county as follows : — Lonsdale wapentake, 3 marks ; Furness wap., 2 marks ; Leyland wap., 4 marks, less 4s. 4d., excused to the brethren of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem ; West Derby wap., 20s. ; and Blackburn wap., 4 marks.
William, son of Michael [le Fleming of Furness], gave 20s. for licence to concord, and also owed half a mark for having with- drawn from his appeal. Robert de Stockport, Lord of Macclesfield, owed half a mark for having withdrawn himself as surety for some one. Eleven others owed various sums for fines imposed by the Justices, but, with the exception of Robert, son of Ughtred de Singleton, Orm, son of Dolfin, who held lands in Orgreave, in Furness, and William, son of Rosceline, lord of Ribchester, under Robert de Lacy, who also held a knight's fee in Hainford, co. Norfolk, of the Honor of Lancaster, of the fee of William Blundel, I have not been able to identify the others. Humphrey, son of Warin, had incurred the fine of 60s. for recreancy, probably in absenting himself upon the occasion of a wager by battla
In connection with the same Eyre, the Sheriff had paid into the Treasury, in thirty-six tallies, the sum of £14 6s. 8d., which he had collected from those who had already paid in full the fines imposed upon them by the Justices. The Roll supplies no details of their names nor the cause of their respective fines.
Henry, son of Norman de Redman, a military tenant of de Lancaster, in Yealand, co. Lane, and elsewhere in co. Westmor- land, proffered 1 mark in order that the Fine levied between himself and Ketel, son of Ughtred, concerning the territory of Levens in Westmorland, should be inscribed upon the Roll of the Curia Regis. By this agreement Ketel granted to the said Henry and his heirs the whole of the Manor of Levens, one moiety to be held by the said Henry in his demesne, the other to be held by Ketel of the said Henry by an equivalent service to that which Henry rendered to the chief lord for the same. Levens was parcel of the Barony of Kendal, and from that day to the present time has continued in two moieties, called, respectively, Over and Nether Levens.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 35 HENRY II. (MICH. 1188-MICH. 1189).
On Thursday, July 6th, 1189, King Henry died at Chinon, in the province of Touraine.
Immediately after his accession, King Richard granted to his brother John, Count of Mortain, the castles and Honors of Marl- borough, Lancaster, including the whole county, Ludgershall, the Peak, and Bolsover ; the town and Honor of Nottingham, and the Honors of Wallingford and Tickhill without the castles ; the Counties of Derby, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, and Cornwall. (Hoveden, III. pref. p. xxv.) Besides this princely estate, John had previously received the great Gloucester inheritance with his wife Isabel, daughter and heiress of William, Earl of Gloucester.
Gilbert Pipard, in rendering his account, answers for nine months of the year only, claiming allowance for £50 of the ferm of the Honor for the fourth part of the year, the period during which the Honor had been in the hands of Count John, and after that he claims allowance for the whole. After allowing for the various grants, which had at this time reduced the net ferm of the Honor to the sum of £120 6s., and after taking credit for the payment of £40 13s. to the Treasury, a balance of £29 13s. still remained due from the Sheriff, who, however, explained that this sum was to be claimed from Stephen Ridel, who had taken it in the presence of the Chancellor and Treasurer and other Barons
7-t THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
of the Exchequer, on Count John's behalf, who had received that sum.
The remainder of the Roll consists of the recapitulation of debts still due on account of the Eyre of Godfrey de Lucy and his associates. These debts all re-appear five years later, after King Richard had resumed possession of the Honor of Lancaster, about Easter, 1194.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 2 RICHARD I. (MICH. 1189-MICH. 1190).
By a Charter dated at York, the 15th of April, in the first year of his reign (1190), King Richard granted and confirmed to Gilbert, son of Roger fitz Reinfred, the whole Forest of Westmorland, of Kendal and of Furness, to hold in fee, together with six librates of land in Kendal, as freely as William de Lancaster I., son of Gilbert, and Nigel de Albini had held the same; further con- ceding that what was waste in the woods of Westmorland and Kendal, in the time of the said William de Lancaster I., should still continue waste, excepting the purpresture made by the licence and consent of the Lords of the fief of Westmorland and Kendal, under whom the said Gilbert had hitherto held his estates. By two other Charters, of about the same date, King Richard further
ROLL OP 6 RICHARD I. (1193-1194). 75
granted that the Noutgeld or Cornage payment of £14 6s. 4d. per annum, which Gilbert and his predecessors had long paid in commutation of the original render in cattle, should be converted into the service of one knight ; that the customary suit of Shire, Wapentake or Tithing and tallage of Sheriff or Bailiff, should be wholly remitted ; and that the said Gilbert's estate in Levens, Farleton, Beethain, Preston-Eichard, Holme, Burton, Hincaster, Preston-Patrick and Lupton, and the fishery appurtenant to those lands, should likewise be held by the service of one knight, in lieu of Cornage and other customary services rendered for the same.
In the year 1166, William de Lancaster I. is returned as holding two knights' fees " de novo feoffamento " under Roger de Mowbray, son and successor of Nigel de Albini. These two fees were the Lordship or reputed Barony of Kendal, which, although returned as held in capite, was as a matter of fact a member of the Barony of Westmorland, at that time the possession of Hugh de Morvill. There is some uncertainty as to whether this Barony continued in the Crown after de Morvill's forfeiture in 1171, or was re-granted to Theobald de Valoines, whose daughter Berta was the wife of Banulph de Glanvill, the Justiciar. It was, however, in the King's hands immediately after the accession of Eichard I., and that sovereign, in consideration of Gilbert fitz Eeinfred's proffer of 200 marks and £100, separated Kendal from that Barony, converted the former into a fee held directly of the Crown, and granted remission of the Noutgeld or Cornage service.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 6 RICHARD I. (EASTER 1194-MICH. 1194).
From the death of Henry II., in July, 1189, until Easter, 1194, the Honor and County of Lancaster were in the possession of John, Count of Mortain. He made by charter during that period numerous grants of land, which he confirmed after his accession to the throne.
The history of this period so closely affects the Honor of Lancaster, that a brief notice of some of the events which happened during the years 1189-1194, may not be considered altogether out of place.
Richard arrived in England in August, 1189; his coronation took place on the 3rd September, and on the 11th December he departed for Palestine to take part in the Crusade against Saladin, leaving William Longchamp, in the office of Chancellor, to con- duct the affairs of the kingdom. Before his departure, the King released his brother John from the oath by which he had under- taken to absent himself from the kingdom for three years, trust- ing to Queen Eleanor to keep him under control. John, however, at once set himself to defeat the pretensions of Arthur of Brittany, who had been recognised as heir to the crown, and set about securing the succession to himself, in case of accident to Eichard. In the attainment of this object he received a good deal of sympathy from the barons ; but owing to the energetic action of Longchamp and the influence of Eleanor, his intrigues were frus- trated until the news arrived in February, 1193, that Eichard had been captured while passing through Austria on his way home.
Upon the deposition of Longchamp in October, 1191, the conduct of affairs had been placed in the hands of the Justiciar, Walter of Coutances, Archbishop of Eouen, who, in spite of the rebellion of John, was endeavouring, during the spring of 1193, to raise the sum of 150,000 marks, which had been demanded for the King's ransom. Before, however, this sum had been raised, by the various means of a scutage of 205. on the knight's fee, a tallage, hidage and carucage, and the exaction of one-fourth of the revenue

or goods of every person in the realm, he resigned office, and was succeeded at Christmas, 1193, by Hubert Walter, Archbishop of Canterbury, brother of Theobald Walter, afterwards Sheriff of Lancaster. As nephews and pupils of Ranulf Glanvill, a former Justiciar, both had been constant attendants at the Court of Henry II. during the latter years of his reign. On the failure of the Crusade, Hubert Walter had led back the English army ; he had visited the King during his captivity, and had been sent home by him to raise the ransom and to be made Archbishop. His appointment as Justiciar was almost immediately followed by a complete victory over John, and during February and March, 1194, he was engaged in the reduction of John's castles. Many of John's Lancashire dependents had taken part in the rebellion, and had gathered at Kendal in support of their chief lord. They pro- bably surrendered themselves to Theobald Walter, upon hearing of the King's release.
On the 30th March, a great court and council was held at Nottingham, at which many Sheriffs were removed and appointed to other magistracies or others appointed in their places. Doubt- less on this occasion Theobald Walter was appointed Sheriff of Lancaster. On the following day Eichard demanded from the Court a sentence of outlawry against his brother John and Hugh de Novant, Bishop of Chester, who had been John's chief adviser. The Court decided that they should be summoned, and, in default of appearance within forty days, John was to be banished and Hugh put on trial. The King departed for Normandy on the 12th May, and shortly after became reconciled with John, re- storing to him the County of Mortain, the Earldom of Gloucester, and the Honor of Eye, and granting him a pension in lieu of his other estates. The Honor of Lancaster was retained in the King's hands.
The Pipe Roll for the 6 Richard I. refers principally to the fifth year of that reign ; but being drawn up at Michaelmas, 1194, it is entitled the Roll of the 6th year of King Richard.
There are several new items affecting the Corpus Comitatus this year. The entry relating to the twenty librates of land in Croxton Keyriall, which Henry II. had granted to Engeran le Porter1 and Roger de St. Aubin (page 32), has been underlined
1 The following account of this family has been extracted from the register of the Abbey of Croxton, and printed by Dugdale, in the Mo nasi icon, Vol. VI. p. 877 : — * " Croxton. Ingeram le Porter came in at the Conquest and had two-thirds of

for cancellation. From an entry in the Roll of the following year, it appears that this land had been temporarily in Count John's hands, that two-thirds of it were restored to Hugh le Porter {Janitor), son of Engeran, by King Richard ; the other third remaining as an escheat in the King's hands, until some years later,
By a charter, dated at Winchester on Friday after the King's second coronation, viz. April 22nd, 5 Richard 1., 1194, the King granted to Theobald Walter, for his homage and service, the whole of Amoundernes8, to hold in capita, by the service of three knights' fees. The following are the details of the grant: — The town of Preston, with the whole demesne appurtenant thereto, the whole of the demesne lands in Amounderness, and the service of the knights holding fees by knight's service, together with the service of all the free tenants there; the Wapentake with all pleas, and the Forest of Amounderness with venison and all pleas of the Forest; pleas of the Crown only excepted. The Charter was witnessed by Hubert, Archbishop of Canterbury, the grantee's brother; Hugh, Bishop of Durham; Gilbert, Bishop of Rochester ; Ranulph, Earl of Chester ; Earl Roger Bigod ; Earl David1 ; William of the church of St. Mary, Archdeacon of Wilt- shire ; William Marshall, Geoffrey fitz Peter, Hugh Bardolf, Geoffrey de Say, Robert de Tregoz, William Poole, and Robert de Quinci.
By this grant all the revenues of the crown from Amounderness,
Corsham and Culington. He had two sons, William and Hugh . . . When the towns of Croxton and Segbroke were in the hands of King Henry II., he was pleased to make an exchange of them with Wdliam le Porter for Corsham and Cunington, and so the >aid William held the said towns all his life. After his death, his brother Hugh le Porter succeeded, and entered into seisin of Croxton and Segbroke ; but the Earl of Gloucester (John, Count of Mortain), who had the Honor of Eje at that time, prevented his seisin of Segbroke. Afterwards, when King Richard was in captivity in Germany, Count John his brother, stirring up war in England, more particularly at Notingham, gave Croxton to Hubert de Burgh, his chamberlain. Six months later, however, the said Hugh ie Porter, being in Normandy, King Richard returned to England and the said Hugh with him, whereupon all Count John's associates were driven forth (dispersi) and Hugh le Porter long time after possessed in peace the lordship of the town of Croxton."
The same authority states that Masilia de Apegard, who held the remaining third part of Corsham and Culington, iu the same way exchanged her portion with Henry II. for one- third of Croxton and Segebroks. She was succeeded by her daughter Sorozina, from whom, or through whom, it passed to Roger de St. Aubin.
The chronicler has erroneously described Croiton as held of the Honor of Eye. It was clearly parcel of the Honor of Lancaster.

excepting pleas of the crown, were given to Theobald Walter, and in the present Eoll we should consequently have expected to find him, in his capacity of Sheriff, claiming allowance of a sum equivalent to the loss of ferm consequent upon that grant.
As already stated elsewhere (page 6), the Sheriff, as farmer of the issues of the Honor, undertook to pay annually to the Ex- chequer the sum of £200 numero, subject to the deduction of such moneys as he had paid away in compliance with the King's or Viceroy's writs, or in consideration of the King having granted lands out of the royal estate, which consequently no longer con- tributed their quota to the revenue of the Honor. The King's grant to Theobald Walter would include the following items of revenue, partly ascertained and partly estimated : —
£ The ferm of the town of Preston, included in the
Corpus Comitatus ... ... ... ... 9
The increment accounted for separately since the
grant of the Charter of Liberties ... ... 6
The service of the free tenants of Amounderness
(estimated) ... ... ... ... ... 10
The issues of the demesne lands of Amounderness
(estimated to arise from nine carucates of land) 9 The Forest of Wyresdale with fifteen vaccaries
(estimated) ... ... ... ... ... 15
Perquisites of the County within the Wapentake,
JZioOllCtlLo, "LO. ... ... ... ... ... X
Total £50
But as a matter of fact, no reduction of ferm was claimed by
Theobald Walter on account of this grant, during the whole period
of his tenure of office ; an omission very difficult to explain. He
did, however, claim allowance for loss of revenue on account of
the deficiency of live stock in the demesne lands of the County,
a deficiency probably the result of drafts made by Count John,,
before the recent rebellion, with the object of preparing hia
castles for the exigencies of a siege. The details of the claim
are as follows : —
£
By the deficiency of fifteen plough teams, necessary
to till as many carucates of the royal estate ... 15
Ditto of the annual produce from fifteen vaccaries... 15

This remission of ferm was continued for two years, until at the making up of the accounts at Michaelmas, 1196, the Pipe Roll shows that the sum of £97 had been allocated that year for the purchase of stock and some implements, with which to re-habilitate the demesne lands. But the money was never laid out, and after King John's accession, and Theobald's subsequent removal from office, the latter was compelled to re-fund this sum.
It is difficult to offer any satisfactory explanation of the omission to claim allowance for this grant. No doubt the Trea- sury had been exhausted by the necessity of providing the enormous sum demanded for the King's ransom. During the spring of 1194, the King made great efforts to raise revenue. He removed many Sheriffs, and sold their offices to the highest bidders for considerable sums of money ; it is therefore quite possible that Theobald's appointment to the Magistracy of Lancaster was conditional upon his claiming no remission of ferm on account of the King's grant. This would make it appear as if the King had taken away with one hand what he had given with the other ; nevertheless, Theobald's dealings with the Exchequer, relative to the deficiency, or supposed deficiency of stock, and his treatment of certain of the free tenants of Amoun- derness, as disclosed by certain contemporary records, by no means diminishes the probability of the suggested explanation.
King Richard had granted thirteen librates of land in Navenby to Robert le Rous about Easter, 1194. The Sheriff had not yet received the King's writ discharging him from liability on account of the loss of the half year's revenue from this source ; he therefore treats it as a debt due from him, and adds a note, to the effect that he claims credit for the sum in Navenby, which Robert le Rous has by the King's grant.

William le Boteler of Warrington had apparently been impli- cated in John's rebellion. He held ei»ht knights' fees of the Honor of Lancaster. His fine of 30 marks seems somewhat light compared with others.
Roger de Middleton held one knight's fee in Middleton, of the Montbegon fee in Sal ford Hundred. He also held one carucate of land in Chetham in capite, in thanage. His fine of 5 marks had been proffered for seisin of his land from which he had been ejected.

Jordan, Dean of Manchester, owed £20 for complicity in the rebellion of Count John.
The next entry has nothing to do with the rebellion. Albert Bussel, Lord of Penwortham, had died recently, and Hugh Bussel, his eldest son and heir, had fined with Count John for his relief. He held five knights' fees of the Houor of Lancaster : three for the Barony of Penwortham within the county, one fee in Broughton in Leicestershire, and one in Thorp Bussel in Suffolk. The usual relief for five knights' fees was £25 ; he had fined with Count John for 40 marks.

De Scutagio ad Redkmptionem domini regis. — The Scutage for King Richard's redemption had probably been put in charge before Walter, Archbishop of Rouen, resigned office as Justiciar. The actual collection, however, probably extended over the early part of the year 1194. The ransom stipulated for was 150,000 marks (£100,000), twice the total revenues of the crown. Two- thirds of this sum was to be paid before the King was liberated. The King was released in March, and the final payment of 10,000 marks was made before the end of April.
The Scutage was at the rate of 20*. the knight's fee, the total amount to be collected from the knights of the Honor of Lancaster amounting to £72 6s. 8a\ (seventy-two and one-third knights' fees). As a matter of fact, the actual amount collected was only £58 6s. Sd. ; remission of the scutage of twelve knights being granted to Robert Grelley, whose knights had accompanied the King into Normandy, whither King Richard went on May 12th, embarking at Ports- mouth. Henry Falconer and Ranulph de Aubervill had each obtained remission for one knight, by the King's writ, probably on the same grounds.
In addition to the Scutage, an Aid or Carucage was levied upon the King's demesne lands, and upon the Thanes and Drenghs. By reference to the details of the royal demesne in Lancashire, afforded by the aid levied in the 23 Henry II. (page 35), it would appear that the present levy was at the same rate, viz. : 1 mark upon each 'carucate ; due allowance being made for the grants made out of the royal estate during the intervening peiiod, including the whole estate extra comitttium, and Amounderness, Caitmel, etc., within the county.
The Advocate of Beton held half a knight's fee in Boothby, near Navenby, in Lincolnshire, which King Stephen had given to his ancestor. This family possessed the hereditary office of Advo- cate of Artois. In the 1 John, William, Advocate of Beton, fined for seisin of lands in Counties Oxford and Gloucester, which were his inheritance; it is therefore probable that Boothby had been taken into the King's hands upon his father's death, merely until the said William had fined for livery.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 7 RICHARD I (MICH. 1194-MICH. 1195).
Since Michaelmas, 1194, Benedict Gemet, Chief Forester of Lancashire, had officiated as Deputy-Sheriff for Theobald Walter. During the year he had received Archbishop Hubert's writs, authorising the deduction of £13 6s. Sd. from the ferm of the Honor, consequent upon the restoration of two-thirds of Croxton to Hugh le Porter, and of £13 in consideration of the grant of Navenby to Robert le Rous.
The arrears of fines which had resulted from the Iter of Godfrey de Lucy in the year 1187 (page 68), are again set out, and several final payments recorded.
The greater portion of the arrears of fines " pro benevolentia Regis," brought forward from the last year, are now discharged ;

ten individuals paying the whole of the balances due from them amounting in the whole to £12 lis. 4d.
Nova placita et Nov/E Conventions. — The Iter of Reginald le Bigod, Ralph, Archdeacon of Hereford, William de Glanvill, and Ralph de Ardera produced in fines the sum of £27 ISs. 4d. Of this sum, the knights, i.e. thanes and free tenants of the Honor had proffered 20 marks for a favourable hearing of their sworn statement, probably showing cause why they should not be sub- jected to the Regard of the Forest, to view the purprestures and assarts which they and their predecessors had made, to escape which they had heretofore compounded by fine with King Henry II, and Count John, at irregular intervals.
Jordan, Geoffrey, and Roger, all of Eccleston, had probably been attached by their bodies or goods to answer some plea before the Justices. The two first-named had proffered 5 marks each to be put to legal sureties that they would appear to make answer, and so in the meantime obtain release from the attachment
Peter, Richard, and Osbert, all of Marsden, had been fined half a mark each in consequence of the transgression of one Uvieth, who was of their pledge, i.e. for whose good behaviour they were sureties, according to the Laws of Frank-pledge, and whom they had probably been unable to produce before the Justices.
Dk novis pkomissis. — A few more of Count John's Lanca- shire adherents in the late rebellion had made their peace with the King, through the medium of the Viceroy, Archbishop Hubert. Richard, son of Roger, thane of Lytham and Wood-plumpton, paid a fine of 20 marks ; Robert, son of Bernard, thane of Goosnargh, ISmarks; William, son of Swain, of Carleton, 100s.; Gerold de Clayton, a military tenant of the Barony of Penwortham, in Clayton-le-Dale and Penwortham, 5 marks. In but few instances do the Lancashire thanes or free tenants appear to have suffered forfeiture or outlawry, as a result of participation in the late rebel- lion. The King and his officers no doubt considered it the best policy to exact what fiscal advantage they could obtain from the free tenants of Lancashire, whose adherence to their late Lord was after all in strict conformity with the feudal ties which bound knights and tenants to their Chief Ix>rd.
Ralph de St. George had proffered 6 marks to the Viceroy for livery of his estate in Wellingore, co. Lincoln. He held half a knight's fee and the twelfth part of a fee of the Honor of Lancas- ter ; his relief was therefore at the usual rate.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 8 RICHARD I. (MICH. 1195-MICH. 1196).
This year the Sheriff claims allowance only for six months' loss of ferm, owing to the deficiency of stock upon the royal demesne lands. He had been authorized to increase the head of stock to the full complement, and to obtain any implements that were wanting. Accordingly he accounts for an expenditure during the year of £97 in that behalf. It does not appear, however, that the money was actually laid out, for after King Johu's accession, Theobald was removed from the magistracy, and compelled to refund the whole amount, as is proved by the following entry in the roll of the 3 John : — " Teobaldus Walteri reddit compotum de quater xx. et xvij.li. quas ipse recepit ad instaurandas terras in honore de Lancastra quando habuit bailliam, sicut annotatur in Rotulo Regis Ricardi viij°. In thesauro liberavit. Et quietus est."
It is interesting to note that the plough team consisted of eight oxen, the fifteen carxveaz requiring 120 oxen (15 x 8) to make the full complement. At the end of the twelfth

ROLL OF 8 RICHARD I. (1195-1196). 95
century, just as at the time of the making of the Domesday Survey, the number of plough teams was the measure of the value and population of each village community, due allowance being made for the character of the soil and the climate. Unless the teams could be maintained in number and efficiency, by the continual substitution of young and vigorous oxen for those worn out or lost by disease, the prosperity of the village, and the annual income derived therefrom by the owner, declined or ceased altogether.
At this period the land cultivated by each plough team produced an annual income of about 20s. The value of an ox was 4s. A harrow for each carucay or team, cost 4s, Two hundred and forty cows, or two hundred computing by the long hundred of 120, were required to restock the 15 vaccaries or stock farms within the forest of Wyresdale. The price of those was 4s. a head, as also of 15 bulls, required to run each with 16 cows in every vaccary. Eighty brood mares at 4s. a head, and a " long hundred " of breeding ewes at 6d. each, completed the list of stock required, and made up the total sum of £97 ordered to be expended.
Some portion of Roger de Montbegon's estates were at this time in the King's hands, owing to the prominent part taken by that noble in support of the rebellion of Count John of Mortain, and especially in the defence of Nottingham Castle, in the spring of 1194. William de Albini of Belvoir was farming some portion of the Hornby demesnes, including certain wood and pasture lands in Melling, the issues of which for a half year or so amounted to 40s. This matter will again be referred to in the ensuing notes.
De Secundo Scutagio.1— The second Scutage of the army in Normandy had been assessed in the year ending Michaelmas, 1195, but it was collected during the early part of the present fiscal year. It was assessed upon the same number of knights' fees in the Honor of Lancaster, as the Scutage for the King's redemption. Theobald Walter was excused his quota on the three Amounderness fees, Robert Grelley on his twelve fees, and Roger Constable of Chester on his five Clitheroe and three and a half Widnes fees. They had attended personally upon the King in the expedition to Normandy, together with their knights.
1 The first scutage of the reign was taken in the 1st year of the King's reign, on the pretence of an expedition to Wales. The scutage a«sessed for the King's ransom was not properly so called. It was actually an aid or tax, and not a payment in commutation of military service. .
90 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
De Tertio Scutagio. — Tlie third Scutage of the army in Normandy was both assessed and collected during the fiscal year ending at Michaelmas, 1196.
Nova promissa per Hubertum Cantuar. Archiep. — Hugh Purceil proffers 5 marks for a writ of right to determine between himself and Edith, Lescelina and Matilda de Barton, who was the rightful tenant of the fourth part of two knights' fees in Barton and Worsley. Robert Grelley, of whose fief the said fees were members, was the said Hugh's pledge for the prosecution of the plea. An entry in the Testa de Ntvill, Vol. II., fol. 822, and the* record of a suit depending in the Curia Regis, on the quinzaine of Easter, 4 John, suggest the following explanation of the above entry :— That one Matthew had been mesne tenant under Robert Grelley of two knights' fees in Barton, Worsley and Worthington ; that Hugh Purceil had married one of the four daughters and heiresses of the said Matthew, and was at this time seeking to obtain against the other three co-heiresses, a recognition of his right in one fourth part of the estate. The Inquisition of 1212, states that one knight's fee and half a fee in Barton and Worsley, were held by Gilbert de Notton, with the lady Edith de Barton, his wife, but there is no mention of the remaining half fee, unless it is to be identified with the half fee in Worthington, held by Thomas de Worthington.
Henry de Walton, son of Gilbert, proffers 40s. for confirmation, — probably after his father's decease,— of the Serjeantry of the Hundred of West Derby, witli the land in Walton, Wavertree and Newsham, which his father had held with that office.
William le Boteler of Warrington, paid 12 marks not to transfret (i.e. pass over sea), in the third expedition to Normandy, after the King's return from Germany, and for his scutage of six knights' fees, which he held of the Honor of Lancaster. King Richard left for Normandy on the 12 th May, 1194, and did not again set foot in England, during the remainder of his reign.

This year Robert Vavasour executed the oih'ce of Sheriff as Theobald Walter's deputy. He was Theobald's father-in-law, his daughter Maud being Theobald's wife. Having laid out the previous year £8 15$. more than the ferm, he claims allowance this year for an equivalent amount, and further accounts for 10 marks disbursed in the repair of Lancaster Castle and Gaol, and 100s. laid out in like manner upon the Castle of West Derbv.

Melling was still in the King's hands ; the issues for the year amounted to £4.
The remainder of the Roll is practically a recapitulation of accounts and fines of old standing, and contains no new entries.
Westmorland Roll. — During the year Gilbert fitz Reinfred had discharged £60 of the sum which he had proffered for trie King's Charter of liberties (page 74). The terms of the fine are " for having six librates of land, acquittance from Coinage, and other liberties according to the tenor of the King's Charter." The following year the balance of £40 was paid. The details of the grant are as follow : —
Acquittance from Noutgeld and Customs . .
Lands in Kendal
The Fishery of Kendal ...
Total 28 4 6
The Sheriff deducts this amount from the ferm of Westmorland from Easter, 1191, to Easter, 1195. At the latter date the land in Kendal and the Fishery were taken into the King's hands again, and the Nouigeld treated as if still due from Gilbert. In other words, the Charter appears to have been cancelled. The matter will come up for notice in the Roll of 1 John.
Lincolnshire Roll. — Adam de Montbegon probably died before the accession of Richard I., consequently the item claimed upon his land and mill in Thorp, was a matter of old account It will be seen from entries in the Rolls of this and the following year, that Roger de Montbegon, son and heir of Adam, had proffered 500 marks in the Curia Regis, at that time travelling about in Normandy, to be put in seisin of the estates which he had recently forfeited, as already noticed (page 95). Probably this offer was accepted about the time of the Michaelmas audit this year, as it is clear from the account of the ferm of Melling, that Roger was put in seisin about that time.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 10 RICHARD I. (MICH. 1197-MIOH. 1198).
This year Nicholas le Boteler officiated as Deputy Sheriff. Theobald Walter was probably absent in Normandy with the King. It has not been possible to identify this Nicholas. He may have been a cadet of the house of Boteler of Warrington, but more probably of Boteler of Warton in Amounderness, which latter family there is reason to believe were connected by blood with the family of Theobald Walter, the Sheriff.
Adam de Lancaster — described in the Koll of the following year as Adam, Dean of Lancaster — proffers £10 to have custody of the land, and the wardship and marriage of the heir of Richard, son of Waldeve. Next year he proffers a further sum of 25 marks that the first fine might stand good with King John. Perhaps the land was half a carucate in Poulton-le-Fylde.1
Andrew de Beauchamp proffers 1 mark for the privilege of enrolment in the Great Roll of the Exchequer, of the agreement made in the Curia Regis between himself and Peter de Wingham and William de Bosvill, viz. : — that the said Peter and William for themselves and their heirs released and quitclaimed to the said Andrew and to Eva his wife, all their right in the inheritance of Robert Basset. Andrew de Beauchamp held one knight's fee in Oxfordshire, of the Honor of Wallingford, and lands in Thenford, co. Northampton. The above entry does not appear to have any reference to the Honor of Lancaster (page 113), but was a post- script added to the Roll after Michaelmas, 1198. An instance of the postscriptive enrolment of a dated Cambridgeshire document occurs in the Staffordshire Pipe Roll of the following year, and shows that although Michaelmas was nominally the term at which all fiscal payments for the year fell due, the collection and trans- mission of some such payments, delayed the final balancing of accounts at the Exchequer until some time after Michaelmas.
1 See Coeheraand Charlulary, p. 189. See also postea, Roll of 7 John. Richard, son of Waldere, was a witness to Count John of Mori ain's confirmation to Lancaster Priory, ad. 118U-1194.
104 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Westmorland Roll. — Gilbert Fitz Reinfred had proffered £100 for confirmation of the King's grant of six librates of land in Kendal, acquittance from Cornage and other liberties, according to the tenor of the King's charter. He had paid £50 of this fine before Michaelmas, 1197 ; a further sum of £10 after Michaelmas, and the balance during the fiscal year ending Michaelmas, 1198. As will be seen in the Roll of 1 John, he did not obtain full pos- session until he had again made fine with King John.
Lincolnshire Roll. — Roger de Montbegon had discharged the greater part of his fine during the fiscal year, in two payments to the Treasury amounting to £200, and a third payment to Arch- bishop Hubert of £106 13s. 4rf., which the latter had employed upon the King's service in Wales. The archbishop resigned the justiciary about the end of June, 1198.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 11 RICHARD I. AND 1 JOHN
(MICH. 1198-MICH. 1199).
Nicholas le Boteler as deputy Sheriff, again renders the account of the ferm of the Honor, but for three-fourths of the year only, viz., — for the quarter ending at Christinas, 1198, before Stephen de Turneham, received the charge of the county, and for the quarters ending respectively at the Nativity of St. John Baptist (24th June), and Michaelmas, 1199, after the said Stephen had held office for the Easter quarter.
Kichard I. died in Normandy on the 6th April, 1199. The coronation of King John took place on the 27th May. It appears therefore that Theobald had been removed from office by King Eichard, but was replaced by King John to serve during the last six months of the fiscal year.
By charter dated at Northampton, on the 7th June, King John created William Ferrers Earl of Derby, granting to him about the same time, many large estates, and inter alia the annual sum of £10, which the Sheriff' of Lancaster was accustomed to receive from the Sheriff of Nottingham, being a contribution of £5 each from the towns of Nottingham and Derby to the ferm of the Honor of Lancaster.1 This sum was part of the third penny of the pleas of the two shires of Nottingham and Derby, the history of which carries us back to Saxon times, when each shire was under an ealdorman, who sat with the Sheriff and Bishop in the Folkmoot, and received a third part of the King's profits of the Sheriffwick. The grant of this third penny of the county was frequently the only estate or interest which connected the earl with the district from which his title was taken, thus attesting the official character of the earldom in early times in distinction to a territorial position such as that of the Knight.2 It is probable that this sum of £10 was an escheat which had fallen to the Crown upon the forfeiture of the fief of Count Roger the Poitevin in 1102, and that it had represented part of the Conqueror's assignment of lands and revenue to Count Eoger in the counties of Nottingham and Derby, after the conquest of England.
A further outlay of 20 marks had been applied to the repair of

Lancaster Castle, during the nine months of Theobald's adminis- tration. During Stephen de Turaeham's tenure of office, an expenditure of £8, authorised by the King's writ, had been made iu victuals for certain knights and esquires, who had been stationed in Lancaster Castle, after King Richard's death, to keep a watch upon the surrounding country ; the sum of £4 10s. being expended for the same purpose in the case of West Derby Castle. A further sum of 100s. had also been devoted to the repair of the former Castle.
The county had proffered £20, — which was to be looked for in the Yorkshire Roll, — for respite from the Regard of the Forest.
Nova oblata. — Under this heading are recorded the fines proffered by Lancashire free tenants for confirmation of charters granted by King John, when he was Count of Mortain, for the royal protection, for immunity from disturbance in their estates, and if summoned to prove their title, for the privilege of being heard before the King in the Curia Regis. No doubt the title of the possessors of certain lands and offices at the time of King John's accession, was not very secure. The sovereign was in honour bound to secure his loyal supporters in the possession of estates granted when he was Count of Mortain, which in some instances had been forfeited during the rebellion of 1194.
William (le Fleming) de Furness proffered 60 marks and two chasours (hunters or chargers) for confirmation of his charter from the Count of Mortain, respecting his land and certain liberties in county Lancaster.
Matthew Gernet £20 and two chasours, for confirmation of his charter.
Robert (de Ainsdale), son of Osbert, 10 marks and one chasour, for confirmation of his estate in Crosby.
Adam, son of Orm de Kellet, 30 marks, for confirmation of one carucate of land in Middleton in Lonsdale, and of the office of serjeant of the Wapentake of Lonsdale, with three carucates of land in Kellet appurtenant to that office, and for confirmation of the right to course hares and hunt foxes.
Yarforth, Ithel, Osbert, Arkeim, Madoc, Morgan and Philip, the sons of Jargorn the Priest 10 marks, and two chasours, for the privilege of being impleaded only before the King in the Curia Regis (page 125).
Benedict Gernet, 40 marks for confirmation of the office of Master Serjeant of the Forest of. Lancaster.

seems to have changed his name to Walton. About twelve years later we are told by an Inquest how many Staffordshire persons were then holding Royal demesnes. One entry is : — ' Henricus de Waleton tenet vj. virgates terra? in Cestreton per cartam Regis Henrici et nichil reddit (he pays no rent to the King) et valet per annum xxx solidos/ (Testa de Nevill, p. 55).
"A few years later still, and Henry de Walton diminished his estate at Chesterton by selling one virgate thereof to Henry de Audley. The transaction was sanctioned by K. Henry III. in a Charter of his eleventh year (a.d. 1227)."

NOTES ON THE TIPE ROLL OF 2 JOHN (MICH. 1199-MICH. 1200).
Robert cle Tatteshall, who held tweuty-five knights' fees in Lincolnshire under the Earl of Chester, succeeded Theobald Walter as Sheriff of Lancaster after Michaelmas, 1199. He had just succeeded to the Lordship of Tatteshall after the death of his father, Philip de Tatteshall, and had the previous year found sureties for his relief of £100.
Repairs had been effected during the year to that portion of Lancaster Castle devoted to the accommodation of the sovereign, his officers and train upon the occasion of a visit of the Court to Lancaster, and to the accommodation of the Justices in Eyre, during their periodical visits to hold the Assizes there.
The Sheriff claims allowance this year for several new grants out of the royal estate, and for lands restored to certain of the King's old adherents who had suffered forfeiture in the year 1194.
By Charter dated at Chinon, October 10th, 1199, King John granted and confirmed to Yarforth de Hulton, the town of Pendle- ton, in exchange for Burtonwood and Kersall wood which he had given him whilst he was Count of Mortain, to hold by the service of one-sixth part of a knight's fee.
To Matthew Gernet be confirmed the grant of half a markate of land in the pasture of Caton.
To Eoger de Huntingfield the fifteen librates in Mendham, for which the said Roger had made fine the previous year.
To Robert le Rous thirteen librates in Navenby.
To Sorozina de Apegard ten markates in Crox ton-Key riall, which had been in the King's hands since the year 1194 (page 80).
The bailiwick of the Forest of Lancaster had been in the King's hands for six months of the year, before the King restored it to Benedict Gernet. Henry de Nevill was answerable for the issues for the half year; but as the entry respecting this matter in the Roll of the following year has been cancelled, it is probable that P>enedict Gernet had already recovered possession and answered to the Sheriff for his form, as in the usual course.
The balance of the account of the year's ferm leaves the Sheriff a creditor for £2 18.9. 4£rf., which does not appear to have been afterwards refunded to him.
Theobald Walter and Nicholas le Pcteler account for the
roll of 2 JonN I. (1199-1200). 119
balance of £31 4s. 6d. remaining unaccounted for in the account of the previous year. The sum of £13 paid into the Treasury is no doubt the ferni of Navenby to Michaelmas, 1199, when Robert le Rous regained possession. Matthew Gernet entered into pos- session of the pasture of Catou at Christmas, 1198; Roger de Huntingfield of his Mendliam estate at the same time.
The increment of ferm from Crosby, Walton, Wavertree, Middleton, and Foul ton in Lonsdale had been proffered by the respective holders of those estates, in consideration of King John's grants of confirmation, already noticed.
Eoger, son and heir of Eoger Esturmy, had not yet discharged his liability in connection with the three scutages of King Richard's reign. He had obtained remission of the quota due from the fee remitted when his father rendered the fishery of Oreford to King Henry II. (page 66), and he still owes £9 for the quota due from his three remaining fees. What is here described as "primum Scutagium Regis Ricardi," clearly refers to the Scutage for the King's redemption.
De oblatis. — The various sums still due for confirmation of charters, of which notice has already been taken (page 109), are recapitulated under this heading.
De Primo Scutagio assiso ad duas marcas. — All the great feudatories of the Honor had performed military service with King John in Normandy, and consequently obtained remission of their quota to this scutage. The number of fees is in several instances incorrectly stated. The exact figures are given in the Roll of the following year.
Nova oblata. — The Knights and Thanes, having lands within the precincts of the Forest of Lancaster had been called upon to pay the arrears, — amounting to £220 — remaining due from the time when the King, as Count of Mortain, had granted them a charter of liberties of the Forest. For confirmation of this charter they now proffered the further sum of £200. The original charter had been cancelled when King Richard took the Honor of Lancaster into his own hands, in the Spring of 1194.
The original charter of liberties granted by Count John of Mortain to the town of Lancaster, dated at Dorchester on the 12th June, 1193, is preserved among the Municipal Records at Lancaster. By charter dated at Chinon, on the 10th October, 1199, King John confirmed his former charter; but whereas the first contained a grant of similar liberties to those which he had
120 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
conceded to his burgesses of Bristol, the confirmation in lieu thereof conferred such liberties as King Henrv his father had granted to the town of Northampton. For this confirmation the townsmen of Lancaster proffered the sura of 40 marks.
A long list of the names of those who had obtained confir- mation of their charters granted by Count John, follows below, with details of the estates and the sums proffered for confir- mation.
William de Hest, 100«. for confirmation of half a carucate of land in Hest to hold by the service of 8s. ; and of one carucate in Middleton to be held in thanage by the service of 1 mark.
Hugh, son of Esward, 40s. for confirmation of the town of Poulton in Lonsdale, containing one carucate to hold by the service of 15s. Walter de Paries, 2 marks for confirmation of the same estate, which Hugh and Godith his wife had given him in marriage with their daughter Matilda. An increment of 5s. is disclosed in the service to be thenceforth rendered.
Swain, son of Robert de Hothersall. 40s. for confirmation of Hothersall (2 oxgangs), to be held in thannge by the service of 5s., an increment of 3s. in the yearly render. The charter passed at Verneuil, 12th October, 1199.
Warin, the Porter, 40s. for confirmation of the office of warder of the gate and of the prisoners in T,ancaster Castle, and for his corody in the Castle as a chief Serjeant.
Jorverth de Hulton, 20 marks and seven chasours for Pendleton (page 118).
Roger de Heaton, 15 marks for seisin of the estate of Broune (now Bourne Hall, in Thornton), of which he had been dis- po3sessed by Theobald Walter, who had taken his charter of this estate from him. There was to be an enquiry into the matter, which resulted later in the grant of a new charier, which passed at Aslacton, Kith March, 1201. For various acts of injustice to mesne tenants in Amounderness, King John about this time deprived Theolwild Walter of the hundred, together with the profits and advantages which had been included in the grant by King Richard in the year 1194 (page 81).
Upon the death of Richard Bussel, contention had arisen between his brothers Albert and Geoffrey, respecting their respective rights to the Barony of Penwortham. When John, Count of Mortain, received Lancaster, Hugh Bussel had succeeded his father Albeit, and soon afterwards he substantiated his claim
ROLL OF 2 JOHN I. (1199-1200). 121
against his uncle Geoffrey and recovered the Barony by the verdict of the Count's court at Lancaster. This was further confirmed by King John, by charter dated at Chinon, on the 11th October, 1199, for which Hugh had proffered 20 marks. The following year, however, Robert Bussel, son of Geoffrey, obtained the King's consent for a new trial, as will be seen in due course.
Hugh Bussel had also proffered 40 marks and three chasours for a writ of mart & ancestor respecting Broughton in Nottinghamshire (sic, Leicestershire), and for an enquiry as to whether Thorp Bussel in Suffolk had been of the dower of Giva, sister of Ranulph Glanvill, of the fee of Richard Bussel or not, and for a writ of right in that behalf. Owing to the loss of many of the Curia Regis Rolls, of the reign of King John, information respecting the suit is incomplete, but in the Easter Term, 11 John, Roger de Morieux was summoned to the Curia Regis to show by what right and warranty he obtruded himself in one knight's fee in Gunthorpe, in co. Suffolk, which belonged to the Honor of Penwortham. In his answer he pleaded that Richard Bussel, of whose inheritance it was, gave Thorpe to Henry de Glanvill, father of Ranulph Glanvill, for his homage and service ; that Henry gave it to Adam de Biannery in marriage with Giva his daughter, whose son and heir, Adam de Biannery, gave it to Geoffrey de Morieux, brother of Roger the defendant, for his homage and service ; that he, Roger, is heir of the said Geoffrey, and that the charter is in the custody of Alexander his brother, on behalf of his mother, together with King Henry's confirmation of the Bame. The Court decided that a jury of twelve knights of the county of Lancaster and as many of the county of Suffolk should be summoned. There does not appear to be any record of the judgment. Thorpe is now called Thorpe-Morieux, from the ancient owners here named.
The writ of vwrt dC ancestor respecting Broughton in Leicester- shire was doubtless in connection with the death of Geoffrey de Valoines in 2 Richard I., to whom it had been granted by Richard Bussel. Henry Falconer held it about this time, but by what title it does not appear.
Warin de Whittingham had proffered 405. for letters of protection. To this entry in the Fine Roll is the note " Non habet eas."
Matthew, son of William, £20 for restitution of his cattle which Hamon de Masci had taken from him. This sum was to be
122 TIIE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
paid out of the value of the cattle, as it appears. He held one knight's fee in Withington of Robert Grelley, jointly with his brother Rotart. He was probably father of Matthew de Haversage.
Onn de Ashton1 had also been deprivocl of his cattle. He proffers £20 for restitution, to be paid in the same way.
Richard Fitton, 5 marks for seisin of Harwood-holme wood which he had recovered in the court of Count John of Mortain, by writ of mort d! ancestor, but had lost it when John was dispossessed of the Honor of Lancaster. The suit had probably been instituted against Roger, constable of Chester, or Albreda de Lizours after the death of Robert de Lacy in the year 1193. Sir Richard Fitton of Bollin, father of the first named Richard, had received the manor of Great Harwood by grant from Heniy de Lacy in the time of King Stephen,
William, son of Adam, 40s. for restitution of his cattle, which Robert Young had taken.
Hugh Norreis, 10 marks and two chasours for confirmation of Blackrod (1 carucate), to hold by homage and service of 20s., an increment of 10s. This grant had been previously confirmed by King Richard (page 86).
Elias, son of Robert de Fendlebury, 40s., for confirmation of Pendlebury (1 carucate), to hold in thanage by the service of 10s., and 40 marks and two chasours for confirmation of the office of master serjeant of the Wapentake of Sal ford, to which also appertained the duty of answering to the King for the issues of the Wapentake. The duties attached to this office appear to have been the following : — To execute the mandates of the King's Courts by writ and summons, and by the summons of the King's Exchequer by precept of the Sheriff; to execute the judgments of the County Court of Lancaster and of the Wapentake, to deliver summonses, make attachments and levy distraints by the Sheriffs

This vould be in the time of Henry II. Orm assumed the surname " de Ashton " from this estate, and was father of Koger de Ashton, to whom Albert Grelley III. confirmed the grant of Ashton. Kverden MSS,t Coll. of Arms, Vol. III., K., fol. 6b. Ha Hand and others have erroneously assumed that the above "Eston" was Urmston, instead of Ashton-under-l yne. Urmston was not a member of the Barony of Manchester, and *as never in the possession of the Grelley family. It formed part of the estate of Roger de Marsey, who was in ward to Kustaco de Mt rton in the 12-13 John. Ho afterwards disposed of his Lancashire estates- including Urmston— to Ranulph lilundevill, Earl of Chester, from whom they pa^ed to William de Fen era, Earl of Derby.

precepts or those of the warden for the time being of the King's lands ; and to execute the judgments of the Sheriffs Turn, and all other duties appertaining to the bailiwick of serjeanty of fee.1
Henry de Lee, son of Warin de Lancaster, 20 marks for con- firmation of King Henry's grant to his father of Kavensmeols, Ainsdale, Up-Litherland and French Lea, with eight denariatcs rent in the borough of Preston, to hold by the service of Falconry, which grant the King had previously confirmed when he was Count of Mortain.
Arthur de Ashton, 20 marks for confirmation of one carucate of land in Ashton, Tulketh and Ingol, to hold in thanage by the service of 10s.
Gerold de Clayton, 12 marks for confirmation of the serjeanty of the Wapentake of Leyland ; and 15 marks for restitution of the estate of Swainsete granted to him when the King was Count of Mortain, and of which Theobald Walter had dispossessed him and taken away his charter. After enquiry into this statement, a charter of confirmation was granted — like many others at this time — at Chinon, on the 10th October, 1199.
The King, while Count of Mortaiu, had confirmed the charter of King Henry II. to the men of Preston, and had then granted them certain additional liberties. This confirmation does not appear to have been preserved, and was probably — like many others — destroyed by Theobald Walter after the events of the year 1194. In consideration of the 60 marks and three chasours proffered by the burgesses, King John confirms their previous charters, granting them toll of the Wapentake of Amounderness, a free fair on the fea3t of the Assumption, and seven days after, i.e. on the 15th to 22nd August, and free pasturage in the wood called Fulwood, and housebote by the view of the Foresters.
Game!, son of Gamel, was no doubt a villein who had purchased the freedom of the borough of Preston from Count John. He proffers 5 marks, and obtains a confirmation of the freedom of the borough for himself and his descendants, and a grant in fee of his dwelling houses in Preston.
ltobert de Ainsdale, 5 marks for letter of protection for himself and his free tenants against molestation by any King's bailiff', and for the privilege of being impleaded concerning his tenements, only in the Curia Eegis, and for acquittance from suits of Shire and
1 Escaeta. 17 Edward II. No. 45.
124 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Wapentake, and from all pleas, except pleas of the Crown. This confirmation passed at Bourg-le-Eoi, on the 16th September, 1199.
Robert de Hackensall, 10 marks for confirmation of four oxgangs of land in Hackensall and Preesall, which his father Hugh held by serjeanty, which Count John had previously confirmed. The confirmation charter also granted the privilege of being impleaded only before the King or his officers, and took the said Hugh generally under the King's protection.
The Trior of Lancaster, two good palfreys or 10 marks for the privilege of being impleaded concerning any tenement or estate only in the Curia Regis, and for confirmation of the churches and chapels granted to the church of St. Mary, and particularly of the tithes in the royal demesnes, whether in hand, granted out or set to farm, according to the Kings former confirmation. The writ to the Sheriff of Lancaster, directing him to give the Prior full possession, was dated at York, 26th March, 1200.
Walter de Thornton and Richard de Brexes had obtained authority to bring an appeal of robbery against Adam Banastre and Stephen le Boteler. The writ summoned the parties to attend at Westminster on the quinzaine of Easter, 1200, upon which date the defendants failed to appear.
Hugh de Morvill, 15 marks and three good palfreys for the royal grant to himself and Hawise1 his wife, of a free court and liberties of toll and team, infangenethef, gallows, and trial by fire and water in their Manor of Carstang, together with all other liberties of trial, except pleas of the Crown. The grant to remain in force so long as his wife wore the secular dress, i.e. so long as she was entitled to the full enjoyment of dower right, in the estates of her former husband, William de Lancaster II.
The Abbot of Furness, £100 for confirmation of the charters of that house, and for remission of the carucagc, or tax upon plough teams levied this year throughout the country. Accordingly the sum of £24 13s. 2d. of this fine was remitted, the Sheriff having acknowledged before the Barons of the Exchequer that he had

William de Lancaster, her first husband, died before the accession of Richard I. ; Hugli de Morvill, her second husband, died 8 John. Of her first husband's estate she was endowed with lands in Lonsdale of the joarly value of 100*., and in Amoundernees of the value of 10*. Testa, Vol. II., fol. 6'52.

received that sum from the Abbot's men for their plough teams. If the levy was at the rate of 1 mark per team, the Abbey at this time possessed some 37 teams, equivalent to an area of about 2,000 acres annually under wheat, barley, oats, and peas.
William de Itadcliffe, 10 marks for an enquiry whether he had given Nicholas Oakes two carucates of land in Harteshead,1 under compulsion of confinement while in prison, or not.
Gilbert fitz Reinfred, £100 and two palfreys for confirmation of King Richard's charters, viz., — acquittance throughout his lands in Kendal and Westmorland of cornage or noutgeld amounting to £14 6s. 3rf., and from suits of shire and wapentake, &c. In lieu thereof the service of one knight's fee was henceforth to be performed by the said Gilbert and his heirs in respect of the said lands (page 74). Also for confirmation of 16 carucates of land in Levens with the fishery, Farleton, Beetham, Preston-Patrick, Holme, Burton, Hincaster, Preston-Richard, and Lupton, and the fishery appurtenant to these lands, for his homage and service, to hold in fee and inheritance by the service of one knight's fee (page 75). For the former charter Gilbert had proffered King Richard 60 marks, and for the latter £100.
King John also granted him, in consideration of the proffered donum, the following liberties within his knight's fee, held of the Honor of Lancaster, viz. : — «a free court, gallows and pit,2 soke and sake, toll and team, and infangenethef , and also a market at Warton, on Wednesday in each week. These charters passed at Porchester on the 25th and 26th April, 1200.
In Hillary Term, 4 John, Jorverth de Hulton was suing Nicholas le Boteler for robbery and forcible detention of his cattle. The defence was that Yarforth had brought the same indictment against Nicholas in the time of King Richard, that the suit had then been dismissed because felony was included in the indictment, where felony would not lie. At the following Easter,
1 Hartshead is a division of the parish of Ashton-under-Lyne, co. Lancashire. In Domesday Hortesbve was part of llbert de Lacy's fief ; the land was two caru- cates, and the tenant's name was Elsi. In Kirkby's Inquest of Yorkshire, it is included under the King's lordship of the Wapentake of Morley. The mesne tenant was Richard de Radclire.
* The higher jurisdiction granted by the King to a Baron, Earl, Bishop or Abbot and appurtenant to his Court with Soke and Sake, Toll and Team, and Infan- genethef, included the right to erect gallows for the execution of capital punishment upon men, and to sink a pit or ditch in which to drown women convicted of larceny. Ducange, sub voce fossa t/urca.
126 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
the parties came to ail agreement, Nicholas giving Yarforth 2 marks, and the latter withdrawing his appeal. It will be noticed that Yarforth de Hulton, son of Bleddyn, and Jorverth, son of Jagorn the priest, both had brothers of the name of Madoc, and that both of these individuals were about this time taking action against Nicholas le Boteler, the late deputy Sheriff, for recovery of cattle distrained. The Welsh names borne by these men, leaves no doubt as to their nationalitv.

NOTES OX THE PIPE HOLL OF 3 JOHN (MICH. 1200-MICU. 1201).
Richard de Vernon, a military tenant of the Peverel Fee, succeeded Robert de Tatteshal as Sheriff after Michaelmas, 1200. Some time previous to that date the men of the comitatus ot Lancaster had proffered 100 marks to the King to have the said Richard appointed as their Sheriff for a period of five years. The proffer was not accepted at once, but Geoffrey fitz Peter, the Justiciar, was directed to get £100 for the appointment if he could. (Fine Roll, 1 John, m. 12.)
One of the Sheriffs first acts was to assess an increment of 100 marks in the ferm of the comitatus, increasing it from 300 to 400 marks. This was in addition to the increment in the fee farm rents received from certain manors, which the King had recently granted to various persons, among which Hothersall and Blackrod now appear for the first time.
A large number of the entries which follow, including those under the heading Dc oblatis Gwice, are merely old fines and proffers recapitulated.
"Nova oblata." — Walter de Clifton, son of Osbert, 10 marks and one palfrey for restitution of his estate in Salewick, which Theobald Walter some years before had taken from him and
136 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
exchanged for the Wray. The King was to have the Wray again. It had formed part of the royal estate.
Arctur, or Arthur de Ashton died during the fiscal year. Richard, Ids son and heir, had paid a fine of 100s. for his relief. His estate was one moiety of Ashton in Amounderness.
William de Winwick 10 marks and two palfreys for restitution of 30 acres of land in Thornton in Amounderness, of which Theobald Walter had disseised him, and for his relief of iive carucates of land, which his father Robert de Winwick — who had died since 1194 — formerly held there.
Theobald Walter had been taking action against the Burgesses of Preston respecting the use of the jibbet and gaol erected there, which he no doubt claimed to be an infringement of his former judicial rights as Lord of Amounderness. They had proffered 10 marks and a palfrey to secure the cessation of his actions against them, and no doubt continued to exercise the judicial rights conveyed by the grant of soc and sac, included in the charter of liberties granted by Henry II.
Hubert de Lathom died about this time, probably during the fiscal year. Richard de Lathom, his son and heir pays a fine of 10 marks and two palfreys for his relief of his father's estates. The palfreys were commuted for a payment of 10 marks; the relief was therefore actually 20 marks. During the period of King John's reign, these payments were very arbitrary, and greatly in excess of the usual rate. The relief paid by a tenant in thanage at a later date amounted only to the equivalent of his annual money service.
Richard, son of Roger of Lytham and Wood-plumpton was living 7 Richard I. His death probably occurred during the fiscal year ending Mich., 1201. Of his five daughters who were his heirs, two only were at this time married, viz. — Matilda the eldest, who had been married during the year 1180, to Robert de Stock- port (page 43); and Avice to William de Milium, before 1201. Robert de Stockport now proffers 200 marks and five palfreys for his father-in-law's estates, and for the wardship of the three un- married daughters (page 44) and of their estates, and that they might be allowed to marry advantageously by the advice of their friends ; also that Avice might have her reasonable share of the inheritance, ami that the widow Margaret — who had a considerable estate in her own right — might not be constrained to marry against her will; but if she desired to marry, it would be done by the King.
ROLL OF 3 JOHN I. (1200-1201). 137
The Fine Roll in tliis, as in many other instances, contains much fuller detail than the Pipe Eoll.
Robert de Stockport was also mindful of the welfare of the Priory of Lytham, which had been founded during the period 1189-1194, — when John was Count of Mortain, — by Richard, son of Roger, who had then obtained the Count's sanction to endow the new foundation with the whole area of the town of Lytham, containing two carucates of land, and had at the same time obtained from his Chief Lord the remission of the annual thanage service of 8s. $d.t due for that town. Robert de Stockport proffers 100s. and one palfrey for the royal confirmation of these original charters, which was duly given by a charter which passed at Long Marton, co. Westmorland, 26th February, 1201, during the King's progress in the North of England.
De increments villarum de Lanoastre. — In addition to the increase in the firma comitaiits already noted, the royal estate within the county of Lancaster was also assessed to an increase of ferin. These demesne lands were not exactly in hand, as we should understand the term to-day, but the Sheriff for the time being undertook to farm these estates at a fixed yearly sum, which was included in the Corpus Comitatus. Whether the royal demesne could stand an increase of rent is of course a matter of uncertainty now, but the rapacity of the King most likely left the Sheriff with little or no profit in return for his onerous duties. On the other hand, it is possible that Theobald Walter had been gradually increasing the yearly return from these estates ever since the year 1194. (See the notes respecting the ferin of Amounderness pages 82-3.)
In Skerton and Overton there were — according to the Domes- day Survey — ten carucates of land. At this time, however, six out of the ten carucates were without plough teams, the contribution of these towns being thereby reduced by 205. for half the year.
In Bolton le Sands and Steyna the land was held in Drenghage, a tenure superior to Villeinage, and probably equivalent to tenure in Thanage. The former term seems to have belonged to Strath- clyde and Northumbria ; the latter to Mercia. While the former appear to have rendered yearly service in cattle, called Noutgeld, until commuted into a money payment; the latter generally in money. In both cases military service was due to the lord, probably on foot, whenever the necessity arose of calling out the feudal host.
138 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
The towns which would be tilled by villeins, or by the still lower class of men in bondage — sometimes called rustics, — were the following: — Singleton, Stainall, Hambleton, Everton, West Derby, and Salford.
The remainder, viz. : — Haightou, English Lea, Broughton (in Amounderness), Newton (near Preston), Hale, Broughton (near Manchester), Ordsal, and Flixton, had formerly been members of the royal demesne, but had been granted out to be held either by ser jean try or in fee farm.
The old increment of the rent of Broughton (in Amounderness) dated from the time of the grant of the town to Ughtred, son of Swain ; that of Trenton, since the grant of the charter of liberties by Henry II. in 1170.
Nova oblata — Richard de Meath (Mida), was the eldest son of Gilbert de Walton, and brother of Henry de Walton (page 111). He is sometimes described as clcricus, and appears at times to have attended at the court probably in an official capacity. In the Patent Rolls he is described as "dilectus clericus noster." In the month of December, 1200, he had letters of protection from the King directed to the Justices then in Ireland. He attested royal charters which passed respectively at Pont de l'Arche on the 5th June, 120.') ; at Pouen,on the 11th June, 1203 ; and at Bristol, 10th September, 1203. Probably he acquired his name from some accidental occurrence, or some office which he may have held in the province of Meath. Although the Pipe Poll specifically refers to an entry in the Fine Poll respecting the grant of Walton, there is no such cntrv to be found in the Poll of the third vear of John. From the Charter Poll however, it appears that the King granted to " Pichard de Mida, son of Gilbert de Waleton " the whole town of Waleton on the Hill, which formerly rendered 40s. ancient dues and customary yearly ferm, while it was parcel of the King's demesne aud in his hands, to hold in fee farm for 60s. yearly for all services. Given at St. Sever in Gascony, 27th July, 1200.
On the 14th May, 1 20o, by letters patent directed to Geoffrey, Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, King John presented Eichard de Meath to the church of Wolstanton, co. Staff.
Robert Bussel proffers 20 marks, in addition to the previous proffer of 100 marks — which had been paid to the Justiciars, and has not therefore previously appeared in the Pipe Polls — for an inquiry to be made in the Curia Pegis respecting the fief of Penwortham, of which Hugh Bussel was then in possession, but of

which — according to the said Robert's statement — his father, Geoffrey Bussel was wrongfully dispossessed ; the said Hugh having established his claim in the court [at Lancaster] at the time that John was Count of Mortain, by virtue of the testimony and statement of Richard de Vernon then made to the King, who upon the strength of that testimony had granted to Hugh Bussel his charter of confirmation. Hindi had been summoned to Worcester on the morrow of* the close of Easter, 1200, with all his charters and muniments relating to that estate, to prove his title thereto. Richard de Vernon was likewise summoned to declare on what grounds he had made the statement which he had given to the King. More will be heard of this matter,, whiclr brought disaster upon the family of Bussel and ultimately termi- nated their connection with the Barony of Penwortham.
The Abbot of Furness had proffered two palfreys for a writ of exemption from carucage. The palfreys had been delivered to the King, in response to his writ for delivery.
Edusa, widow of. Alan de Windle had proffered 1 mark for a writ to remove her plea of dower against Alan de Windle — probably her son — out of the County Court to the Curia Regis at Westminster.
Matthew Gernet had been a supporter of Count John during the disturbances of 1193-4, and had been disseised of two oxgangs of land in Grimstonlithe by King Richard. He had proffered 40?. and one palfrey for restitution. The place is described in the Fine Roll as in Westmorland, but it was probably in Caton, as appears by the following entry in the Tenia de Ncvill, Vol. II., f. 834: — '* Thomas Gernet tenet ij Carucatas terra: in Thainagio in Catton per [annum] xx.s. Pater ejus dedit Mathreo ij bovatas reddendo vj.d." When John was Count of Mortain (1189-1194), lie had granted Littledale to Matthew Gernet to hold in fee by the yearly service of £ mark. This was confirmed by royal charter which passed at Shoreham, 18th June, 1199, in which the estate is described as including the land of Ulfthwaite— a name now remaining in the name Udale or Ulfdale — upwards to Roger de Montbegon's forest (i.e., Roeburndale) and in the other direction to Clougha; from Clougha oy Conder-head (or Condor's how ?) to Roeburndale, and from Ulfthwaite to the bounds of Caton. The hunting of buck and doe, wild boar, roe deer, and wild goat was reserved to the King. The following entry in the Testa, f. 834, refers to this grant : " Hse.res Mathasi Gernet tenet unam

pasturam [vocatam Littledale] de domino Rege et reddit per annum diniidiam marcain."
An appeal had been brought against Roger de Kirkby Ireleth respecting the death of Matthew, son of Simon. He had proffered 50 marks and two chasours in order to escape imprisonment, and retain his liberty by giving pledge and sureties to appear to answer justice.
Henry de Culcheth, Alan de Ilixton and others had proffered 40 marks and one chasour, for a similar undertaking to answer respecting the death of Geoffrey de Sponden. Simon de Bedford had been involved in the same charge, and having failed to answer i.e., having fled the country, he had been proclaimed, and outlawed. Afterwards he had thought better of it, and proffered 10 marks and one chasour to be in-lawed and to be held by sureties to answer justice.
Adam, son of Orm de Kellet proffered 6 marks and one chasour for letters patent1 to enable him or his attornies to answer respecting the death of Adam Gernet, only before the King or the Chief Justiciar.
Roger de Freckleton had been disseised by Theobald Walter of the pasture of Brethoughmoor, which he (Roger) asserted to be part of his inheritance. An assize had been taken by the oath of liege men, who found that lie had been disseised wrongfully and without justice. Word had been sent by the King to the Sheriff to deliver seisin of the land to him. Walter, son of Swain de Carleton was his pledge for payment of the tine.
Thomas Gernet was the son of Adam Gernet, concerning whose death Adam de Kellet had given sureties to answer. He had lost his life sometime previous to Easter, 1200, for there is a record of a plea in the Curia Regis in the Easter Term, 1 John, between Agnes, [widow] of Adam Gernet versus Roger de Leicester, in which the said Agnes complains that defendant had married his daughter to her son who was of the King's wardship — his father being a tenant in thauage — so that defendant had possession of the said Thomas and of his estate, viz.— of five carucates of land in Heysham and Caton, without the King's authority or consent. {Curia Regis Roll> No. 16.) The King had promptly directed the Sheriff to seize
1 The Charter Roll, 2 John, m. 17 dorso supplies a copy of the King's letters patent. " Rex, etc. Scias quod Tolumus quod Adam filius Orm non respondeat alicui nisi coram nobis ycI capiluli justiciario nostro de morte Ada Gernet. Teste me ip*o apud Lincoln, xiij die Januarii." [1201.]
ROLL OF 3 JOHN I. (1200-1201). 141
the land to the use of the Crown; but upon Thomas Gemot proffer- ing 5 marks for his relief, the Sheriff had been directed by writ to deliver seisin of this land to him. Benedict Gernet was his pledge for payment of the fine. He was probably cousin of Adam Gernet. Besides his son and heir Thomas, Adam Gernet had two other sons Adam and Matthew mentioned in the Testa, f. 834.
Alan, son of Alan de Pemberton had proffered 40s. for his relief after his father's death, during the last of the troublous years of Theobald Walter's shrievalty, viz. — in the 10 Richard, to Nicholas le Boteler the deputy Sheriff. But his estate had been seized into the King's hands in the 1 John. He now recovers seisin, having proffered a fine of 10 marks — for the payment of which Richard de Orrell and Henry de Melling were sureties — for restitution and for his relief, and obtains a writ of right against Nicholas to recover from him the sum already paid for relief. His estate is thus described in the Testa de Nevill, Vol. II, f. 829 : " Alanus de Pem- l>erton tenet ij Carucatas terne in Thanagio. Et reddit per annum xx solidos et j judicom. Adam de Pemberton tenet illas Carucatas de Alano prjedicto."
Henry, son of Alan de Holland proffered 10 marks for the wardship of the daughter of Henry de Ribbleton and for her marriage, "so it be however that she should not thereby suffer dis- paragement," and so that he should provide the necessaries of life to the daughter's brother, who was a leper, and reasonable dower to the mother. The Sheriff wras to be responsible for the pence, i.e. the yearly service for the land, or to find sureties. Robert de Preston and Richard his brother had offered 100s. for the daughter's wardship and marriage, and had also offered to pay 16s. yearly service for one carucate of land in Ribbleton, besides the usual customs, instead of the former service of 8s., but the King had preferred to accept Henry de Holland's higher proffer. An entry in the Testa de Nevill, f. 820-1, refers partially to this estate : " Henricus de Holand tenet iij Carucatas et ij bovatas terra* de domino Rege in capite per xxvj solidos. Idem Henricus dedit de eodem tenemento unam Carucatam terne Rogero de Leycestre per viij solidos et iij sagittas per annum."
Hugh de Oxclive held one carucate of land in Oxclive by serjeanty, viz. — by executing the office of carpenter, more parti- cularly when work was to be done in Lancaster Castle. He prof- fered £ mark that he might remain in undisturbed possession of his tenement.
142 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Ten other persons made similar proffers, viz. — John de Torris- holme, who held one carucate in Torrisholme by serjeanty, viz. by performing the duty of smoking and curing venison, bacon, etc., for the use of Lancaster Castle ; Ralph de Bolrun, who held one carucate of land in Bolrun by performing the duty of mason or stone-dresser (French Ma<jouncrie) ; William de Toulouse; Adamde Wray1 and Gerard his brother; William the Eeeve of Overton; Williot ; Adam the Skinner ; Roger son of Edric ; and Warin son of Godfrey, who were probably all tenants by serjeanty, holding small estates in or near Lancaster, and having various duties to perform or offices to execute in connection with the Castle and County Court.
By charter which passed at Geddington, on the 14th March, 1201, the King granted and confirmed to William, son of Adam and his heirs, six oxgangs of land in Bothelton (Little Bolton in Saiford Hundred) to hold in free thanage by the yearly service of 18s. for all service and customs ; which estate the King — when Count of Mortain — had granted to the said William. Before the year 1212, the grantee died, as appears from the. following entry in the Testa de NeviU, Vol. II, f. 827 : " Willelmus de Bothelton tenuit unam bovatam (sic) in capite de domino Rege in feodi firma; haeres ejus est in custodia domini Regis "; and another entry, f. GG4: "Sarra de Bothelton est de donatione domini Regis, et terra sua valet j marcarn." This may, however, refer to Bolton le Sands, in Lonsdale Hundred.
As already noticed, Robert de Stockport had proffered 100s. and one palfrey for confirmation of the charter respecting Lytham (page 137). He now proffers two more palfreys — commuted to a payment of 10 marks — as an increment upon his former promise, to obtain the royal confirmation of three carucates of land in Bricht- stat Bryning and Kelgrim's argh (now Bryning and Kellamergh) grunted to Richard, son of Roger, during the period 1189-1194. The confirmation is dated at Geddington, on the 14th March, 1201, and is made in favour of Matilda, wife of Robert de Stockport, Margaret, Avice wife of William de Milium, Quenild and Amuria, the daughters of Richard, son of Roger. It confirms two carucates (sic) in Bryning and Kellamergh to be held by the service of the fourth part of a knight's fee. but explicitly excepts two carucates in Formby, which the King retained in his own hands. (Charter Roll, 2 John, m. 8.)
Alexander de Preston had proffered 8s. for seisin of a toft in
1 See the Chartularj of Cockersand Abbey, under " Wray."
ROLL OF 3 JOHN I. (1200-1201). 143
Preston, of which he had been disseised by Roger de Leicester, Seneschal of Aniounderness. An enquiry had been made and the verdict given that the disseisin had been unjustly and illegally made.
Roger de Kirkdale held three carucates of land in Kirkdale. He died lief ore 2 John. His daughter Quenild was married by the King to Richard, son of Roger (page 50), against whom the widow Goditli was taking action to obtain recognition of her dower. She had proffered J mark for a writ of summons, to have her plea tried before the Justices at Westminster.
The Abbot of Furness renders account of 40 marks and two palfreys for two carucates of land in Stapletern to hold by the yearly service of 40a, and for the King's charter respecting the same. This charter is not to be found in the Charter Rolls. The Testa dc Ncvill, f. 832, has the following entry : " Idem Abbas [de ffurneis] tenet ij Carucatas in Stapelthurne et reddit domino Regi xl solidos per annum." These references certainly point to the grant having been a recent gift of King John's, notwithstanding the inference to be drawn from an ancient survey of the Manor of Bolton, preserved in the u Registrum Honoris de Richmond" {History of Ilivhmtnulshire, Vol. IT, p. 283), that the grant was made by Henry I. or Stephen. There is a possibility that Henry II. resumed possession before the year 11G2, and that King John merely restored to the Abbey of Furness what had formerly been their's, but the Pipe Rolls are silent as to any forfeiture having taken place.
A suit respecting the partition of four oxgangs of land in a place called Hammingham, between Alina and Sabina of the one part, and their sister Eugenia of the other, had been proceeding in the County Court, and 20s. was due for a writ of summons to remove the further hearing of the suit to Westminster. There is no mention in the Fine Rolls of this matter.
Hugh de Nevill owed G9 marks and 10s., arising from the amercements of the men of Lancaster, imposed by the said Hugh as Forest Justice, an account of which appeared in the Roll which he had already delivered to the Treasury. The details were not copied into the Pipe Roll.
Theobald Walter's payment has already been dealt with (page 94).
De finibus kt scutagio Militum. — This was the second Scutage of King John's reign, and like the first, was nominally at

the rate of 2 marks per knight's fee. But it will be noticed that some of the payments are at a very much higher rate. These included fines "ne transfretent," i.e., to escape the necessity of crossing over sea to perform military service with the King. This was an innovation created by the rapacity of the King. Formerly the payment of scutage at a fixed rate procured exemption from military service and vice versd.
It has been possible to draw up a complete Feodary of the Honor of Lancaster at this date, from the returns of the first and second scutages of King John's reign, 1199-1201.

The total 74 J, -j^, gives two fees more than the estimated value of the first and second Scutages, owing to the omission of Benedict Gernet's one fee and another fee in Thurston. Thus 72£ and £ fees at 2 marks = £96 85. lOd. Vide page 114.
The thanes and tenants in fee farm were also called upon to pay a fine of 50 marks " ne transfretent," and to escape any pro- ceedings against them for failing to personally perfoim military
service. It is probable that there was little, if any distinction

between tenure in "free thanage" and "in fee farm." Both resolved themselves ultimately into tenure " in socage."
Shortly before the end of the previous fiscal year, i.e.9 about Mich. 1200, the Rarony of Penwortham had been taken into the King's hands pending the judgment upon the trial which was then proceeding between Hugh and Robert Bussel (page 138). The issues for the year included £8 6s. M.} the rent for which the Sheriff had farmed out the lands of the Barony ; 2 marks for corn sold ; 35s. 8d. perquisites of the Court of Penwortham, and £ mark presumably for soutage of { knight's fee, consisting of lands held by Hugh Bussel in demesne.
Robert, son of Bernard, thane of Goosnargh, had been invoking the King's aid in the collection of debts due to him, and had promised one-third, amounting to £4 15s., in return for the Sheriffs assistance. Four years later he promised one-half the total of the debts then due to him, and the King sent word to the Sheriff to distrain the following persons, and to keep the moiety of the sums recovered for the King's use ; viz. : —
Theobald Walter 5 marks.

NOTES ON THE PIPE KOLL OF 4 JOIIX (MICH. 1201-MICH. 1202).
Repairs had been lately effected to the Castles of West Derby and Lancaster, 10 marks upon the former, under the superinten- dence of Henry Travers and Henry de Walton, the Serjeant or bailiff of the wapentake of West Derby ; and 20 marks upon both Castles under the superintendence of Walter de Paries and the said Henry de Walton.
Siuce Easter, 1200, the Sheriff had ceased to receive the issues of the Forest of Lancaster, which had been given to Benedict Gernet, the Kings Forester (page 109).
The condition of the Gaol at Lancaster had been receiving attention. During the year the royal demesnes had also been restocked by the purchase of a long hundred of breeding ewes, costing 6cL each, and of seven teams of oxen required for the cultivation of seven carucates of land, and of sixty cows for the vaccaries of Wyresdale. A working ox and a calving cow each cost 4s. at this period.
Matthew de Haversage, son of William (page 121), and Orm
156 THE LANCASHIRE TIPE ROLLS..
de Ashton (page 122) who had each proffered £20 for a writ of right, were unable to obtain verdicts in their favour. Their debts were therefore cancelled.
The issues of Hugh Bussel's estate in renwortham, which was in the King's hands, produced £10 9s. for the year, and the perquisites of the Court, 54s. 4d,
One-third of Crox ton-Key riall had again been in the King's hands for nine months of the year. Sarazina de Apegnrd had recovered this estate, which was her mother's right, at Mich. 1199. She had then proffered 30 marks for an inquiry as to whether ten markates of land in Croxton were the right of Macelinga her mother, and whether Count John's bailiffs — during the period 1189-1194 — had disseised her unjustly and without right To this entry in the Fine Roll of 1 John, m. 18, the note is added — " Let inquiry be made, and if it be so found to be, and she find sureties, let her have that land." She had accordingly been put in seisin at Michaelmas, 1199, but upon her death it had again been taken into the King's hands. At Michaelmas, 1204, William de St. Aubin and Christiana his wife obtained possession as Sarazina's heirs.
There is an error in the account rendered by the Knights and Thanes of their debt for confirmation of the charter of liberties of the Forest. The amount brought forward was £239 8s. lid. ; the payment during the year was £111 10s. 6d. ; Hugh de Nevill had received £82, and Theobald Walter £45 12s. IQd. The balance remaining due was only 5s. Id. Next year they paid £10 5s. 7rf.
De taillagio facto pek Rioardum Malebisse. — The tallage which wTas made this year throughout the Kingdom, was assessed in the county of Lancaster by Richard Malebisse, a military tenant of the Honor of Eye and a staunch servant of King John. In some cases the levy seems to have been at the rate of £ mark upon each carucate. The total sum levied within the county amounted to £104 8s. composed of 127 items of account Of this amount 27 marks 7s. M. were accounted for by the Sheriff in 39 tallies ; but the names of the persons and places contributing, although entered upon the roll which Richard Malebisse delivered into the Treasury, were not entered in the Pipe Roll.
The following is a list of the names of persons and places detailed in the present roll, to which has been added some infor- mation respecting their estates, tenure and services, chiefly taken from the Testa de Nevill : —

(page 47), the Dean had proffered 40 m. for the wardship of his nephew and of half a carucate of land, and for the marriage of the mother. In Michelmas Term, 6 Richard I. {Curia Regis Roll, No. 2), Adam, Dean of Kirkham, and Richard clericus essoined themselves rersus Theobald Walter in a plea concerning the advowson of the church

of Kirkham, by Henry eon of Walter. In the 10 Richard T. (page 102) Adam de Lancastra proffered £10 for ward hip of the heir of Richard son of Waldeve, and of his land. In the 7 John (Fine Solly m. 4) William, son of Richard gave 1 in. for a praecipe quod redded against Adam the Dean, to obtain possession of his land which the Dean held with the wardship of the said William. About this time Henry de Redman, with the consent of his wife and heirs, granted a rent of 3s. arising from lands in Pennington for the maintenance of certain lamps in Furness Abbey, viz. — 2s. which William, son of Waldeve, the grantor's uncle renders to him for land called Haw thorn thwaite, which formerly belonged to Adam the grantor's uncle, and 12d. which Gam el, son of Levin renders to him for land called Micklethwaite (Furness Coucher, p. 509). These references have been given to assist in the identification of the estates for which Henry de Redman and Adam, the Dean rendered tallage as teuants in thanage.

Nova Oblata. — Geoffrey the Crossbowman had received a grant of the towns of Hackensall and Preesall, containing six carucates of land, from Count John of Mortain, to hold by serjeanty, rendering yearly two crossbows.1 The King had con- firmed this grant in consideration of Geoffrey's proffer of 15 marks, but the charter is not to be found in the Charter Rolls. A copy
1 The entry in the Testa de Nevill, Vol. II., f. 819 appears to hare been erroneously copied from the original returns made in the 12 and 13 John. Two entries — one rein ting to Preston, nud the other to Haekcuhall and Preesall — have been mixed into one. Probably these ought to read as follows : —
"Burgenscs de P re* ton tenent vj carucatas terra? in Preston in libera burgagfo per xv libras."

The out- come of the suit brought against him by Robert Bussel, and of the inquiry into the evidence given during the former trial, when he recovered the Barony of Penwortham in the County Court at Lancaster against his uncle, Geoffrey Bussel, during the time' that John was Count of Mortain (page 138), appears to have been favourable only in so far as the question of right was concerned ; but the Ciown lawyers had apparently proved that the method ot obtaining the former verdict had been tortuous, and for this default lie was in the King's mercy. The Court had condemned him to pay a fine of 400 marks for the King's warranty of the default, whereby he had lost seisin of the Honor and for the King's mandate to put him in seisin once more. Before this was done, however, the Justiciar was directed to obtain sureties for payment of 100 marks within the current year, and £100 during each of the two ensuing years. Hugli paid 90 marks of this fine, — Robert Bussel also sharing in the liability — but apparently they were unable to meet the next instalment, and between Easter and Michaelmas in the 7th John, 1206, they released their title in the Barony, both within the County and without, to Roger de Lacy, Constable of Chester, who gave them in return an acquittance to hold them harmless against the King for the balance of the lino then remaining unpaid, amounting to 310 marks.
Robert de Harston's relief of 15 marks may have been at the usual rate upon two knights' fees, or it may have represented the relief for the one knight's fee in Harston and Knipton which he held of the Honor of Lancaster, and a fine for seisin of his father's estate. According to the Testa dc Neviil, Vol. I., f. 455, William de Casthorpe held half a knight's fee in Casthorpe of Robert de Harston ; and (ibid., f. 469) Walter de Grey held four and a half cars, in Somerton of Robert de Harston by the service of half a knight's fee. In the reign of King John both these were held of the Honor of Lancaster de vcteri feoffamento, but like some other fees appear to have been afterwards alienated from that Honor.
Roger de Burton, a military tenant of the Barony of Kendal had proffered £40 for the wardship of the land, and of the heir of Matthew Gemet (see page 139) — who probably died during the year — and for the marriage of the widow, who was the said Roger's daughter.

162 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
1)E Scut agio Militum — The Sheriff supplies a statement of the number of the knights' fees which contributed to the 3rd Scutage of this reign. He gives the number as 49^ collected by himself ; 15£ by the Sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk ; 8£ by the Sheriff of Nottinghamshire, and 1J by the Sheriff of Lincolnshire. Total 74J, J, ^, yV» tV The figures vary from the previous scutage, owing to the Barony of Penwortham being in the King's hands ; the return for that fief being now — Roger de Freckleton 1 fee, Geoffrey Gernet J fee, Uerold de Clayton y^ fee (not counted in the total), Robert, son of Richard, Elias and Roger de Hutton -f^ and ^ fee, and Theobald Walter 3 fees, instead of £ fee for Weeton. There is also an additional contribution from Hugh le Porter and from Macelinga, the mother of Sarazina for $ fee in Croxton.
Henry de Read had proffered J m. for a prcrcipe concerning five and a half oxgangs of land in Read, to enable him to take action at the advent of the Justices into those parts versus John de Read and Gamel his brother, Henry son of William, and Alexander son of Richard, also of Read. Several of these names occur under the Titulus de Reued in the Coucher Book of Whalley, pp. 1067-1071.
The " servientes do Lancastra," i.e. those who held any office or serjeanty in the Honor of I^ancaster not already enumerated, had been assessed to the tallage at 11 marks.
John de Grey, Bishop of Norwich (who was afterwards elected Archbishop of Canterbury, but set aside by the Pope), Hugh Bardulf, John de Gestling, Master Roger Arundel, William fitz Richard and others were in eyre in the county during the year. There had been great judicial activity — not necessarily implying the administration of even justice — throughout the country, and at Lancaster the list was a heavy one. The Justices commenced their Session on or before the 25th October, 1202, and completed it on the 7th November. The entry in this Roll of amercements collected and paid into the Treasury is therefore postscriptive, and really belongs to the 5th year. No Lancashire Assize Rolls for the reign of John are now known to exist, but the final concords of some thirty suits dealt with during this Session are extant, and in the Roll of the following year particulars of a considerable number of cases are given. In the Roll delivered to the Treasury by the Justices, there were details of 198 cases of amercement of persons and townships, the penalties collected during the Autumn amounting to £80 8s. In the Roll of the following year, of 123 cases, and of amercements amounting to £240 3s. 8d.

NOTKS ON THE PIPE KOLL OF THE 5 JOHN (MICH. 1202-MICH. 1203).
J hiring the year 3 marks had been spent in the improvement of the King's lodgings in Lancaster Castle, and 7s. in the improve- ment of the Keep.
In claiming allowance for Croxton, among the entries " in terris datis," the Sheriff refers to the portion which "belonged" to Sarazina. It remained in the King's hands during the year and yielded 7 marks from set or standing rents of free tenants, 8 marks from the sale of the corn crops of the demesne, and IDs. for cattle sold.
Theobald Walter stood responsible for the sum of £45 12s. 1(W., part of the fine of the Knights and Thanes, for the royal charter of liberties of the Forest. He now produces the King's writ granting him allowance of £11) lis. 2d., which he had laid out ten years before, when the King was Count of Mortain, in providing muni- tions of war and victuals for Lancaster Castle, and in the payment

of Knights stationed there ; and of the further sum of £25 13s. 6rf. for work done in the strengthening of that Castle, under the super- vision of William son of Robert, and one Hugh. The balance of 2& 2d. he paid into the Treasury.
The inquiry respecting two carucates of land in Hartshead (page 124) had terminated in favour of William de Kadcliffe, and his proffer of a chasour or 3 marks had been accepted, that he should have such seisin as had been adjudged to him in the Curia Regis at Geddington, when the Court was there from 29th August to 1st September, 1204 ; which seisin he had recently recovered before the Justices in Eyre at York.
De taillagio Theworum. — The Sheriff had collected the tallage of 46 persons, who had paid in full, amounting to £39 13s. 4rf. William le Fleming of Furness, Quenild de Kirkdale, Ranulph son of Roger (also called " de Ganielston," and " de Marsey ''), and Gilbert de Nocton paid instalments. Gilbert de Croft, Robert son of Robert, Wrilliam son of William— a tenant in thanage, in Rivington, — William de Nevill, — who had recently married Aniabil dau. and co-heiress of Adam fitz Swain, and widow of Alexander de Crevequour, — Geoffrey Russel and Hugh le Norreis of Blackrod still owed their quota.
De finibus et Scutaqio Mil,itum, — The fourth Scutage of King John was put in charge tin's year. It was nominally at the rate of 2 marks upon each Knights fee, but the payments actually made were at a much higher rate, and were of the nature of fines ne transfrctctU. Warin Banastre was not yet of full age, conse- quently Thoinas de Golborne and Adam de Lowton still answer for the fee of Makerfield. The greater Barons — with the excep- tion of William le Boteler — attended upon the King, and had acquittance of scutage.
Nova Oblata.. — Albert de Nevill seems to have been Robert Grelley's seneschal of Manchester.1 His proffer of 2 marks for inquiry into a charge of obstructing the Sheriff, probably referred to some dispute which had arisen between the officers of the Wapentake of Salford, and those of Grelley's lordship of Man- chester. The two jurisdictions were terribly intermixed.
Theobald Walter had proffered two palfreys for permission to go into Ireland. He had been constituted " Chief Butler " of that
1 He appears in the Curia Regis about this time, as Robert Grelley's attorney in a plea against Richard de Pierpont respecting 40 acres of wood in Xjoslocjt (pud Rumworth?) (Curia Reyis Roll, No. 33. )

Robert, clerk of Preston proffered 2 marks that he might not be Coroner, an office instituted in 1194, to keep record of pleas of the Crown, and generally to watch over all matters concerning the administration of criminal justice, and the profits accruing therefrom.
Orm de Ormskirk appears to have been hanged or outlawed during this Eyre of the Justices. His cattle had been sold for the King's benefit Hubert Bastard owed 1 mark which was due from certain men whose release from gaol he had purchased. He and Robert Vavassor also owed 48s. for the cattle of one Hereuer, or Heruer, who had been incarcerated, but had proffered 2\ marks for releasa Michael son of Buude owed £ mark for release from a charge of complicity in causing the death of some man, at whose death he had been present Walter de Tritton (? Thorn- ton) owed J mark to be acquitted from an appeal, probably of murder. Walter de Carleton, son of Swain, owed 1 mark for licence to withdraw some plea.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF G JOHN (MICH. 1 203-MICII. 1204).
Among the entries " in terris datis," that relating to two-thirds of Croxton, co. Notts., has been cancelled. By letters patent dated 7th March, 1204, the King gave permission to Hugh le Porter to let in fee farm, or to mortgage his estate in England, for two years from Ash Wednesday, 1204. {Pat. Poll, 5 John, m. 3.) In the previous October, the King had confirmed certain grants of land in Croxton and Sedgebrook, which Hugh le Porter had made to the abbey of Croxton, to which house his father had also been a munificent benefactor (pages 32, 81). At Easter, 120G, Geofirey Lutrel had become possessed of this estate, as appears by letters close dated 13th November, 1204, directing the Sheriff of Lancas- ter to give Geoffrey seisin of thirteen librates of land in Croxton, which had belonged to Hugh le Porter. (Clow Poll, 0 J no., in. 12.) The remaining third-part of this town, which had recently been in the possession of Sarazina de Apegard, was now in the posses- sion of William de St. Aubin and Christiana his wife. Before Michaelmas, 120G, they had been dispossessed,1 as appears by letters
1 It is stilted by Nichols in the History of Leicestershire (Vol. II., Pt. 1, p. 146), that when Philip, the French King seized upon the hinds belonging to the. English in Normandy, King John retaliated by seizing the possessions of the French in England. The family of " le Porter" of Lyons held Croxton in exchange for Corel mm and Culington (page SO), and being Frenchmen they now lost this estate. Sarazinn, dau. of Roger le Porter and Masiliu, or Mazclinga de St. Aubin, held her portion of Croxton of Ilugh le Porter of Lyons by the service of bearing tho standard of the Porters, when they were in the service of the King, and so her succeszors also lost their portion of this estate.
roll of 6 john (1203-1204). 183
close dated 3rd January, 1206, directing the Sheriff to give Geof- frey Lutrel seisin of ten markates of land in Croxton, formerly belonging to William de St. Aubin and his wife, " because the King had given it to 111111." {Close Roll, 7 Jno., m. 6.)
Warin Banastre probably attained his full age about Michael- mas, 1204, when he was put in seisin of his patrimony, — the Fee of Makerfield, — having proffered 400 marks for it. This heavy fine is suggestive of a dispute having arisen after the death of Robert Banastre as to who was his next heir. Makerfield had been in the King's hands for some time. Warin died before 3rd April following, when the Sheriff was directed to pay 20s. to his widow Sarah, which the King had given to her. {Close Roll, 6 Jno., m. 5.) Makerfield then continued in the King's hands until 1213.
Owen ap David was the son of David ap Owen Gwynedd, who married in 1174, Emma, illegitimate daughter of Geoffrey le Bel, Comte of Anjou, and father of Henry II., who in 1188 gave her the Manors of Ellesmere, co. Salop, and Hales, since called Hales Owen, co. Worcester. King John wishing to give the Manor and Castle of Ellesmere to Llewelyn ap Griffith, Prince of North Wales, in marriage with his daughter Joan, took Ellesmere into his own hands, and gave Owen ap David in exchange thirteen librates in Elmdon, co. Warwick, and, as a temporary grant, £7 19s. 6d. rent in Salford. This rent was soon after resigned, viz. about Easter, 1206, and the King then gave Owen fifteen librates in Waltham in Lindsey. {Close Rolls, G Jno., m. 14, m. 7 ; 7 Jno., m. 10.)
The Sheriff produced the King's writ allowing him 20s. for improvements made in Lancaster and West Derby Castles, and 22s. Gil. for the repair of a granary in the former Castle.
De Quinto Scutagio. — The fifth Scutage of King John was put in charge early in the sixth year. Although nominally at the rate of 2 marks per knight's fee, it was levied in a very arbitrary manner in the Honor of Lancaster, at the rate of 3 or sometimes 6 marks per fee. In fact all tenants in chief, whether in chivalry, in thanage, in fee farm or by serjeanty were assessed, who had not already contributed to the tallage of the 4th year, and in thirty - five cases those who paid tallage in the 4 John, paid generally increased amounts to this tallage.1
1 The estates for which tallage was paid have been identified so far as it has been possible to do so. Further investigation may prove that in some cases the assess- ment was upon estates other than those here stated, and this applies especially to those cases where the tenure was bj military service.
184 THE IANCASMRE PIPE ROLLS
The following persons — with three exceptions — did not con- tribute to the previous tallage : —
Robert, son of Gilinichael, 1 in. ; 1 car. in Whittington, in fee farm by 40<7.

Henry de Kellet, 5 m. ; 3 car. in Over Kellet, Dare and Claugh- ton, in thanage by 19s. GV. Henry appears to have been an elder brother of Gilbert de Kellet, who held this estate in 1212.
William, son of Lie', 4 m. ; estate not ascertained.
William de Hest, 3 in. ; i car. in Hest iu thanage by 8s. ; 1 car. in Middleton in thanage by 13s. Ad.

Itiehard Fitton, 20s.; 4£ car. in Gunnolvesniores held of the

Klias de Hutton, 1 m. ; 1 car. in Medlar in fee farm by 8s.
Adam de Walton, — whose name has been cancelled and Matthew son of Richard substituted, — 1 m. ; Matthew de Walton held land in Egergarth in Lydiate, and probably some tiling in Walton-on-the-Hill in connection with the serjeantry of Bailiff of West Derby Hundred.
Kanulf de Marsey, son of Roger, 20s. ; 4 car. in Salford hundred in fee farm by 10s. and by serjeanty.
Gamei de Thorpe, h in. ; 1 car. in Thorp in Bretherton, which he probably held under Roger de Freckleton, who held in fee farm by 10s. (page 158).
Matthew7 Gemot, i m. ; the pasture of Littledale in Caton in fee farm by Gs. Sd.
Robert de Overton, i in. ; £ car. in Overton by serjeanty, to be reeve.
ROLL OF 6 JOHN (1203-1204). 185
Walter Underwater, £ in. ; an estate called Miluesfleet, situ- ation not ascertained, by serjeanty.
John, son of Ralph, \ in. ; estate not ascertained.
Quenild de Kirkdale, £ m. ; 1 car. in Formby, by serjeanty to convey the Treasury through a portion of the county when re- quired.
Margaret Banastre, 1 in. in two equal items ; she was the widow of Richard, son of Roger, of Lythain and Wood-plump ton, and would be assessed on some portion of her deceased husband's thanelands, with which she was endowed.
Adam de Walton, 1 m. ; probably he was a tenant of lands in Ulnes walton, held of the fee of Penwortham.
Adam, son of Gilbert, £ m. ; perhaps brother of Henry de Walton, who held the serjeantry of Bailiff of West Derby hun- dred, with lands in Walton, Wavertree and Newsham (vide supra).
William le Fleming, of Furness, was in ward to Henry, son of Hervey (see below). The King excused the latter 20 marks of the assessment upon le Fleming's estate in Furness.
Robert, son of Robert, £ in. ; probably soma estate held of the fee of Penwortham, situation not ascertained.
Geoffrey de Penwortham, \ m. ; laud in Longton, held of the fee of Penwortham.
Robert de Longton, brother of Geoffrey, \ m. ; same estate as the last-named.
Alan de Rixton, £ m. ; 1 car. in Rixton and Glazebrooke held of the Warrington fee.
Nova Oblata. — William, son of Michael le Fleming of Furness being dead, and William his heir a minor, Henry, son of Hervey buys the wardship of the heirs and of their estates for 200 marks. Ada or Aline the widow proffers 150 marks and two palfreys for assign- ment of dower and for her share of his chattels, and for liberty to marry whom she would. She is probably the lady who afterwards married William le Boteler of Warrington.
Hugh and Robert Bussel pay 30 marks towards their fine of 400 marks. As already stated (page 1G1), they afterwards made default as regards the balance.
Walter de Adlington proffered \ mark for a " pnecipe quod reddat" respecting six oxgangs of land in Adlington, against Siward de Duxbury. An assize of mort d'ancestor had been summoned between them in the Curia Regis respecting this land. Agree- ment was made by Siward acknowledging that " Adelvinton " was

the right of Walter, who then granted it to Siward and his heirs, to hold of him by tts. 6d, yearly at Martinmas. (Feet of Fines,
4 Jno., Lane., No. 25.)
Adam, son of Adam de Kellet proffered a palfrey or 5 marks for the King's confirmation of certain lands in Bolton-le-Sands, called Gerefholm (Reeve's holm) and Dritern (Drytarn), which Adam, son of Alan and Godith his wife, Thomas Rous (Bitffus) of Bothelton and Sigherit his wife, Gilbert de Bothelton and Serot his wife, Michael, son of Waldevc de Bothelton, Adam, son of William de Bothelton, ami Agnes, daughter of Roger de Bothelton had granted to him, to hold of them by 2.$. 4d. yearly. The royal confirmation is dated at Nottingham, 25th August, 1204. {Charter Boll, 6 Jno., m. 7.) The reference to Richard de Meath as the grantor is erroneous. His name is not given in the Fine Koll entry. (G Jno., m. 8.)
Bichard, son of Robert de Walton proffered a palfrey or
5 marks for the King's confirmation of four oxgangs of land in Walton-on-the-Hill, which Bichard de Meath had granted to him, to hold by os. (id. yearly. The confirmation bears the same date as that to Adam de Kellet.
William de Winwiek's proffer for an inquiry was due to an appeal brought against him in the Curia Begis by Italph Langus for wrongful and premeditated assault and robbery at Langshaw, near Chipping, when the said Ralph was conveying to his lord 15 marks of his ferm, which he had received. Robert Druery was implicated in the same affair. (Curia Begis Boll, 4 Jno., No. 29.)
Robert, son of Geoffrey's proffer for licence to concord is correlative to a suit in the Curia Regis, in which he w?as the plaintiff against Robert, son of Ughtred, respecting six oxgangs of land in Longton, in which the latter had no entry except by Hugh Bussel, who had committed that land to him during the minority of the said Robert, son of Geoffrey. The land was in the King's hands at the time of the institution of the proceedings, by reason of the default of Bobert, son of Ughtred, the tenant, and was to be sued for. (Curia Begis Boll, 6 Jno., No. 36.)
Sabina, widow of Roger de Heaton, proffered J mark for a writ of summons coram Bege on the Octave of St. Michael, re- specting her dower in Westhusum and Brunne (Weesham, and Bourn Hall, in the township of Thornton in Amounderncss). Her son was a minor. Afterwards the King sold the wardship and marriage of the heir to Henry de Redman. ( Vide postea.)
holl of 7 John (1204-1205). 187
The Bishop of Norwich had, three years before, proffered 400 marks for the wardship and marriage of Oliver, son and heir of Oliver D'Aincurt. Afterwards lie disposed of this wardship to Gilbert fitz Reinfred, who proffered five palfreys for the King's confirmation of the assignment, which the King confirmed by letters patent dated 7th Sept., 1204.
Gilbert, son of Adam, proffered 1 mark for a grand assize to inquire and declare whether he held land in Penwortham in chief of the King, whereby he ought to pay tallage, or not.
The enrolment of a charter relating to Writtle, co. Essox, was a postseriptive entry, and has no reference to co. Lancaster (page 102).

NOTES ON fllfc J'lPE ROLL OF 7 JOHN (MKIL 1204-MICH. 1205).
l'ichard de Vernon retired from oftiee at Easter, 1205, William de Vernon having acted as his Deputy for the half-year. He had been negligent in executing the King's mandates, and not only lost his post, but was subjected to a tine of 40 marks, and a palfrey (Nova oblata hujus anni), He was succeeded by Gilbert fit-z Ileinfred, into whose charge the King committed the County and Honor, by letters patent issued at Windsor, on the 2oth April. Adam de Carlisle, son of Jtioger, executed the office in his place ut Custos, i.t\ as lieceiver or Seneschal, and not as a farmer of the county revenues.
There are several new items of account in the Corpus Comifatus. In the hearing of pleas, and execution of justice, 9s. had been expended. The ferm of the town of Lancaster was now rendered for the first time by the burgesses themselves, and hot by the Sheriff as heretofore. In the repair of the lodgings iu Lancaster Castle, 2\)s. (id. had been expended.
Theobald Walter died about the beginning of August, 1205, probably in Ireland. The issues of his Amounderness fee yielded £10 Is. 3d. for the King's use, for that portion of the year which remained before the Michaelmas audit. His brother Hubert, the Archbishop, also died about this time, viz. on the 13th July.
Nova Oblata. — Stephen, Count of lioulogne and Mortain, had enfeoffed the ancestor of Hugh 1 'ret el in one knight's fee in Flintham and Xavenby. (Testa, I., fol. 850.) Hugh was living circa 1172. Agatha, his daughter and heir married firstly Geoffrey le Moine (Monach us), and secondly Humphrey, King John's cook, ltanulph de Marscy, however, claimed to hold this fee in chief of the King, as of the Honor of Lancaster, and Geoffrey and Agatha having disseised him (Patent, 6 Jno., fol. oT>\\)9 he obtained a writ of right against them, and recovered the estate. He died shortly after, so that in the year 1212, his son being in ward ta the King, the said Agatha was returned as holding the fee in chief.
Master Matthew, the Physician, had instituted a suit on behalf
1 These charters are omitted in tho Chancellor s Roll,
roll of 7 joiix (1204-1205.) 197
of the King against Gilbert fitz Peinfred and Hawise liis wife, respecting the Church of St. Michael on Wyre, before Michaelmas Term, 5 John. {Curia Regis Boll, No. 32.) Gilbert and Hawise claimed to be patrons of the said church. In Hilary Term, 6 John, an assize came to make recognition if the said church of St. Helen, of Garstang was a chapel belonging to the church of St. Michael on Wyre, which was of the King's donation, being held of the King by Master Matthew. The verdict of the Jury was that during their time it had never been a cjiapel attached to the church of St. Michael, but they always regarded it as a mother church. Further, that in the time of Henry II., as also in the time of the present King, when he was Count of Mortaip, divers sworn inquests had been taken by discreet and aged men of the County of Lancaster, respecting lands and other matters which used to belong to the Crown, but they never found upon oath that the said church of St. Helen belonged to the King. (Curia Rrgis Roll, No. 36 ; Assize Roil, No. 1039, m. 3..)
De finibus et de sexto scutagio. — William Gernet succeeded his father Benedict, in the office of Chief Forester of ] Lancaster, during the year. He proffered 20 marks by way of fine " ne trans- fretct," and for relief of his forest fee.
William de Yilers paid 2 marks for his fee in Newbold an(J Owthorpe, and Walter de Staunton 5 marks for one fee jn Crop- hill Butler and Kinoulton. These were the two Nottinghamshire fees held by William le Boteler, who held of the Honor of Lancaster (page 144). The descent of these fees is given in the Testa de flevill, II., fol. 809 : "Pain de yilers, the first to be enfeoffed, gave to William de Yilers, his son, the land of NewboUl by military service, which William II, son of Pain II [son of William I, son of Pain I], holds [in 1212] by the same service.'' And again : " The said Pain I gave to [his son] Thomas de Vilers, the moiety of Owthorpe, &c, in military service," which he pFob- ably held in 1212, except one carucate there, which William de Yilers held. The descent of the other fee is thus given : " Whilst William le Boteler was in ward to lialph fjtz Bernard, [a former Sheiiff], by the King's grant, lialph gave the township of Crophill Butler to a young man [Walter de Stanton I], in marriage with William's sister [Albreda], which Walter de Stanton holds [in 1212]." And again : " Tain de Vilers I gave to [his son], Thomas .de. Yilers, the land of Kinoulton by military service . . . , whereof Robert de Vilers holds Kinoulton [in 1212] by the same
103 TUB LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
service." Robert de Vilers appears to have been son, or grandson of Alan de Vilers, another son of Pain I.
The eijjht fees which William le Ik>teler of Warrington held of the Honor of Lancaster, liad descended to him from his father, Richard le Boteler, who bad acquired them by marriage with Beatrice, daughter and heiress of Matthew de Vilers, eldest son and heir of Pain de Vilers I. He answers in this Roll for a fine of 20 marks, but wby his mesne teuai.ts also contributed to this scutage, it does not appear.
In Norfolk and Suffolk, William Rosc-cline answers for the fee, which in the lA John was in the hands of Geoffrey fitz Peter, for the heir of William Blundel.
Roger de Moricux had replaced Matilda de Aubervill. He held the fee in Tborpe-Morieux of Ralph de Ardern, who held of the Honor of Lancaster.
Adam de Cock field held the half fee in Waldingfield of the Earl Aubrey de Vere. (Lib. Rub. Smc.t pp. 181, 478.)
The half fee which William son of Hervey held in Boxted does not appear to have paid scutage before this date.
Ralph Eraser held one fee in Anston, co. York, which Ralph de Vernon possibly held in A John.
Geoffrey Lutrcl answers for one knight's fee in Croxton Keriall, recently created out of the estates which the Porters of Lyons lately held there.
William son of Simon now holds one knight's fee in Grimble- ^horpe, Welton le Wold and Cadeby, of the Honor of Lancaster, which he held of Peter Malet, or which was formerly in the said Peter's hands, who held of the heirs of Trussebut. (Testa de Nevill, II., fuL8:*7.)
The Charters relating to Childerditch, (?) co. Essex ; Alswick (?) and Essenden, co. Herts. ; and Green ford, co. Middlesex, were postscriptive entries, and have no reference to the Honor of Lancaster.

NOTES ON THE PIPE ROLL OF 8 JOHN (MICH. 1205-MICH. 1206).
Tn the account of the Corpus Comitatus the Sheriff claims allowance for 23«. 4d. for expenses arising from the visit of the Justices of Assize to Lancaster, in giving judgment and executing justice ; for 100s. spent in the repair of the King's lodgings at l^aneaster. Probably this expense was occasioned by the royal visit to Lancaster in Feb. 1200.
JSy letters close dated at Lambeth, 28th April, 1206, the King sent wurd to the Sheriff of Lancaster to cause thirty markates of land to be assigned to Reginald, King of Man, within the Honor, which he had granted to hiin in accordance with an agreement made between them, for his homage and service, and further to certify the King as to the details and locality of the estate so assigned. Accordingly in his account the Sheriff claims allowance for twenty lihrates, but we are not told where the estates lay, and probably the grant was merely a charge upon the ferm of the county. (Close Holly 7 John, in. 1.)
As the result of an inquiry, Roger, Constable of Chester obtained the King's writ acquitting him of 70& yearly, which had
ROLL OF 8 JOHN (1 205-1 20C). 207
been claimed from him for some estate, probably Penworthani, but of which no particulars are given.
An entry in this Roll informs us that Richard de Vernon had been farming the issues of the Honor until Mich. 1205. But during the last six months of his Shrievalty, which terminated at Easter, 1206, he had officiated as Warden or Steward. In that capacity Gilbert fitz Reinfred accounted during the present year for £73 received as profit of the county. This would include the issues of escheated estates, or those of which the King had the wardship, and any casual profits. He claims allowance for 69s. overpaid the previous year by his predecessor in office.
Tallagium factum per R. de Veteri Ponte. — This year the King took a tallage from his demesne lands, including the two boroughs of Preston and Lancaster, from various estates formerly royal demesne, now held by serjeanly or in fee farm, and from all estates which happened to be in his hands by reason of the heirs being under age and in ward, as for instance the demesne lands of Theobald Walter's fee of Weeton. The tallage was probably a correlative of the seventh scutage of John, and was assessed by Robert de Vipont and his associates, as part of the usual business of Assize.
Amerciamenta. — Assizes were held at Lancaster on or about 25th Sept. 1205, the Justices being Simon de Patshull, James de Poterne and Richard de Mucegros. They had imposed amerce- ments in a dozen cases amounting in the whole to £4 6s. 8d., details of which were recorded in a roll which they had delivered to the Treasury. Adam de Walton, Peter de Stalmine, son of Robert, and William de Radcliffe each owed J mark for non-suits. An agreement between Peter de Stalmine and William, Abbot of Leicester respecting two oxg. of land in Cockerham, is preserved among the Feet of Fines, co. Lane. No. 41.
Robert Grelley held a knight's fee in Willisham, co. Suffolk, in chief of the King. In connection with the marriage of one of his sisters, he had disseised his under tenant Osbert de Willisham, who however recovered this fee by an assize of novel disseisin, and the King seizing upon the opportunity of punishing the disseisor, had amerced Robert Grelley 60 marks. The King afterwards thought better of it, and sent word to the Barons of the Exchequer, by letters close dated from Stourminster, the 3rd February, 1207, to acquit him of 30 m. and give him respite as to the remainiug 30 m. during the King's pleasure. Afterwards
208 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
the balance of the amercement was remitted. {Close Roll, 7 John) m. 3 ; 9 John, m. 5.)
Nova oblata. — Hugh cle Morton proffered 10 marks and a palfrey for licence to marry Margaret, the eldest of the three unmarried daughters and heiresses of Richard, son of Roger of Woodplumpton, and to have her purparty.
Henry de Traffurd proffered 40s. for relief of half a carucate of land with appurtenances in Traffurd ; an exorbitant fine for a small estate held by a fee farm rent of only vs. per annum.
Adam, son of Adam de Kellet proffered 25 m. and a palfrey for licence to marry Alice, daughter and heir of Geoffrey de Gressingham, to his brother, and for the estate which she held of the King in Gressingham, consisting of 6 oxgangs of land, viz. 4 oxg. in demesne and 2 oxg. in service. The King thereupon sent word to Hugh de Nevill, the Forest Justice, to take security for payment, and deliver seisin. Payment was to be made to the Forest Exchequer and not to the Exchequer in London. (Fine lloll, 7 John, m. 10.)
Philip de Strelley proffered 10 m., a palfrey and a falcon, for licence to marry the youngest daughter of Richard, son of Roger. This was probably Queuild, as to uhosc marriage there was a dispute between the King and the Earl of Chester. She held of the King in fee farm, but of the Earl by military service. (Testa, II. fol. 804.) Next year however, she gave 60 m. and two palfreys to be allowed to marry whom she would, and for her share of the inheritance which fell to her from her father, and from Margaret Kauastrc, her mother. Eventually she married Koger Gernet of Halton, Chief Forester of Lancaster.
William, son of Kichard of Foul ton (i) proffered 1 m. for a "praecipe quod reddat" against Adam, the Dean of Kirkham, for possession of the land which Adam had received with the wardship of the said William (pp. 48, 158).
Kobert de Stockport died before Mich. 1206, whereupon Matilda his widow, who had assumed her mother's name of Pianastre, proffered 20 m. and a palfrey that she might not be con- strained to marry against her will, but with the King's licence and consent in case she wished to marry, and for her purparty of the estates of her father Richard, son of Koger, and of her mother Margaret Kanastre, with esnecy. These estates lieing in the King's hands, the Sheriff of Lancaster was directed to take security for payment of the fine, and to grant her seisin ; the Sheriff of
koll of 8 joiix (120.J-120G). 200
Leicester was likewise directed to give her seisin of land in Appleby lying in his bailiwick. (Fine Roll, 7 John, m. 4.)
In like manner William de Milium and Avice his wife, another co-parcener, and Thomas de Beetham and Amuria his. wile, also a co-parcener, made fine by 20 m. and 40 m. respectively, for their share of the inheritance.
ltobert, son of Bernard, son of Ailsi, thane of Goosnargh, died before Mich. 1206. Accordingly Hugh de Mitton, Oliver son of Nigel de Longford, and Richard de Catterall, son of Swain, proffer 20 m. and a palfrey to be put, in seisin of 12 oxg. of land in Goosnargh, held of the King in thaiiage, which was the inheritance of the three daughters of the said Robert, whom they had respectively married. The Sheriff was directed to deliver seisin.
Adam de Prestwich proffers 5 m. for his relief, and for seisin of the land which was in the King's hands by reason of the decease of his father Robert de Prestwich (page 157).
Benedict Gernet died before Mich. 1200. He had succeeded to the Chief Forestership after the death of his lather, Adam Gernet, temp. Henry II. That sovereign granted to him the privilege of being sued for any tenement which he held in his demesne, only before the King or the Chief Justiciar. This King John confirmed, by charter which passed at Fakenham, 8th Nov. 1200, and in addition took him into his protection with all his belongings, describing him as "our Forester," and ordered the Justices and others to safeguard his property as they would the King's own demesne. (Charter Roll, 1 John, m. 21.) His widow Cecily was the daughter of Roger de Hut ton (Coder- mnd Chart ulary, p. 107, n). She proffers 100,?. for the King's letters to put her in seisin of her reasonable dower in her late husband's free tenement, i.e. the Forest Fee. William Gernet fined for his relief the following year.
Henry de Redman proffered 40 m. for the wardship of Roger, son and heir of Roger de Heaton, lately deceased (1204), and for licence to marry the heir to his daughter. The estate was Bourn Hall in Thornton, and lands in Weesham (page 186).
The Abbot of Furness had been amerced in the sum' of 500 m. for an offence against the Forest,1 the nature of which
1 The Fine Boll entry differs from that in the Pipe Roll "ut
quietus sit de misericordia quingentarum m. unde amerciatus fuit per os Regis pro foresta." He had been amerced at the King's expense, for an offence against the Forest.
P

we can only surmise. The King afterwards pardoned 300 m. of this exorbitant amercement, and the Abbot proffered two palfreys in consideration of this remission. (Annates Fames. page 171.)
Henry de Walton, Gerold de Clayton, Elias de Pendlebury, Richard de Singleton, son of Tghtied, and Jorwerth de Hulton, all held serjeanties in the county. The composition by fine for the King's confirmation of their respective estates and offices was an act of extortion.
Koliert de Ainsdale owed 20s. for the wardship of his nephew, and the custody of his estate, presumably in Uarston.
Fines et Scutagia Militum. — The seventh scutage of King John was levied at the rate of 20s. per fee. The tallage of the tenants in thanage, drengage, fee farm and by serjeanty wdB correlative to this scutage. The following names have not occurred in the previous tallages taken in the 4th and 6th vears : —
Matilda, daughter of Ughtrcd, son of Huck, 1 m. ; 1 car. in Stainall in thanage.
Uichard, sou of Koliert de Lathom, 40s. ; 3 car. in Lathom iu thanage by 20*.
Henry de Cuerden, 1 m. ; described as " de Kerdel" in the 5th scutage (page 184). This is Henry, son of Aiiot, who received 2 car. here from his brother Siward, who had been enfeoffed by Kobert Molyneux in frank marriage with his (Robert's) sister. (Testa, II. fol. 811.) He held by military service.
Alan, son of Alan de Windlc, 20s. He held 2 car. in remberton, in thanage by 20s. aud the service of a Judge, which Adam de Pemberton held under him; 1 car. in Windle by military service, under Kobert de Vilars, who held of William le Roteler of Warrington ; and an estate in Skelmersdale and Syfrethley, tenure unknown.

Swain de Hothersall, £ in. ; 2 oxg. in Hothersall, in fee farm by 5s.
William Gernet, 5 m. ; for the Forest Fee.
Adam de Yseni, 20.$. ; probably for scutage on 5 car. in Whittington in Lonsdale, which he afterwards gave to Gilbert fitz Keinfred.
Walter, son of Osbert de Clifton, 5 m.; 10 car. in Clifton, Sal wick, Field-plumpton, etc., in thanage by 40s.
William de Gresley of Drakelow, 40<s. (page 21).
Eoger de Winstanley, £ in.; 1£ oxg. in Winstanley, which he held of Adam de Billinge to acquit" him of the service of a judge- ship.
Matthew de Marton, £ m. ; Martin Hall, held of Eobert de Lathom, who held by military service.
John de Overton, £ m.; was probably reeve of the royal demesne in Overton.
Willot de Makifeld, J m., previously described as "de Newton"; probably reeve of Newton in Makerfield.
William de Neweton, £ m. ; probably held a serjeanty in Newton in Makerfield.
Richard de Singleton, son of Ughtred, £ m. ; £ car. in Singleton, by serjeanty to be Bailiff of Amounderness.
Henry de Peudlebury, 1 in. ; an estate in Shoresworth, held of his uncle Elias de Pendlebury (pp. 122, 157).
Compotus TEKRAttUM. — King John restored Amounderness to Theobald Walter soon after the forfeiture, which appears. to have occurred in the 2nd year1 (page 120). The following is the
1 The following sworn statement was made by a jury at an inquest held at Lancaster on the morrow of St. Matthew the Apostle, 37 Henry III, in pursuance of a writ directed to the Sheriff to make inquiry touching the Manor of Broughton ; dated at Windsor, 20th January, the same year. " Qui jurati dicunt

Kind's writ directing that restoration should be nimU1: "John, by the grace of Go J, etc, to Geoffrey titz Peter, etc. We command you to render seisin to our beloved and faithful Theobald Walter, of the whole land of Anmndreness in its entirety, with all the appurtenances, together with the com, as he had it when we disseised him thereof. Witness myself, at Doui front (in Nor- nuuuli/), 2nd January, [1202]. (Liberate Evil, 3 John, m. 2.) The ferin of the Wapentake was a standing revenue amounting yearly to £29 9.s. -W., of which sum £lo represented the old and new term of the borough of Preston. The perquisites or small fines of the Wapentake Court amounted to £4. The standing rents of the free tenants amounted to £19 Is. The issues of the demesne cultivated bv villeins amounted to £11 6s. 8d. Total £63 18«. 111 comparing this account with the estimated ferm of Amounder- ness in 1190, given on page 82, it must be borne in mind that the present account also includes the liut-ler fee of Witheton (Weeton) and Itawcliffc. After the death of Theobald's grandson in 1249, the annual income of the whole Butler fee in Amounderness only amounted to something under £50, according to an extent then made. Probably the terms of King John's restoration of the Wapentake to Theobald, provided that he should hold it for life only.
Henry de Walton's estate in Wavertree, Walton and Formby was in the King's hands during the year. The corn crop realized 70*. The reason for this seizure does not appear. It was restored before 1212.
Hubert Bertram had been dispossessed of Frettenham when King John seized the possessions of the Normans in England (note, page 182). It was given to Uoger le Poer, and by letters close, dated at Windsor, 19th March 1206, Gilbert fitz Itcinfred was directed to give seisin to his man John, Koger himself being engaged in the King's service.

NOTES ON THE PIPE TvOLL OF 9 JOHN (MICH. 1206-MICH. 1207).
Nova oblata. — Richard de Pierpont gave £ m. for licence to concord. In Trinity Term, 5 John, a suit was instituted in the Curia Regis by Robert Grelley, claiming forty acres of wood in Lostock and Rumworth against Richard de Pierpont. In Michael- mas Term, Richard essoined himself dr viafo h'rti, and the knights who ought to have viewed his sickness did not appear in eourx.
218 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
They were, Roliert son of Thore, Madoc de Halghton and Robert Gogard. At the next hearing, Richard came and defended his right, and prayed for a grand assize, to declare whether he had a better right to hold that wood of Robert Grelley, or Robert to hold it as his demesne. In Hilary Term, 6 John, the suitors were pledged to sue on the quinzaine of Easter, and Ranulph, son of Roger de Marsey, Roger de Middleton, Richard de Worsley and William de Turton wrere named as the four knights, who should elect twelve upon the grand assize. Finally on Thursday after the feast of St Luke, 7 John, at the Exchequer in London, a final concord was made between them, as the result of the finding of the grand assize, by which Richard acknowledged the wood to be the right of Robert, and rendered it to him, for which acknowledg- ment Robert gave him a gold ring. (Curia R^gis Rolls, Nos. 81 to 35 ; Feet of Fines, temp. John, Lane, No. 40.)
Richard, son of Elias gave 1 m. for a writ. In Easter Term, 7-8 John, Richard son of Elias sued Jorwerth de Hulton for six oxgangs of land in Hulton. Jorwerth did not appear, and was sum- moned to answer the plea at a month after Michaelmas, the land meanwhile being taken into the King's hands. (C. R. Roll, No. 42.)
Matilda, widow of Adam de Kellet, son of Orm (not Osbert as stated in the Roll) gave 4 m. that she might not be constrained to marry against her will.
Ralph de Bolrun gave a mark for licence to alienate to the Monks of Cocker8and 3 oxg. and 3 acres of land in Bolrun, which licence was necessary because he held by serjeanty. (Cockersand Chartulary, fol. 121.)
Ralph de Standish gave 1 m. for licence to concord. In Hilary Term, 6 John, he was suing Siward de Standish in a plea respecting the right of presentation to the church of Standish. In Easter Term, Ralph proffered 1 m. for licence to make a concord respecting 2 car. of land in Standish and Langtree, and the advowson of the church. (C. R. Rolls, Nos. 34 and 42 ; Feet of Fiiws, temp. John, Lane, No. 42.) The final concord has already been given (page 40).
Matilda de Kellet was suing Henry de Kellet during Easter Term, 7-8 John, for 1£ car. of land in Kellet, and £ car. in Bare ; but on the quinzaine of Holy Trinity, 8 John, at Westminster, a final concord was made between them, by which Henry released his claim to Matilda, who thereupon gave him 5 m. (C. R. Roll, No. 42 ; Feci of F hies. temp. John, Lane, No. 43.) It appears that

Matilda held this estate in her own right, viz. a moiety of Over Kellet and a moiety of Bare, and recovered it from Henry, who at this time seems to have held the other moiety, either for life, or during the minority of Gilbert, son of William de Kellet. Each party paid a moiety of the fine for licence to concord.
In Michaelmas Term, 9 John, Adam son of Roger sued Herbert de Ellel in a plea of warranty of charter of land in Ellel and Thornbythwaite, which he held by his father's charter. Herbert did not appear, and Gilbert the Forester and Thomas son of Hugh, who were his sureties, were amerced. Grimbald de Ellel and Kichard his brother, other sureties, were also amerced, and Herbert was summoned to appear on the quinzaine of St. Michael. A final concord was made between them at Westminster on the quinzaine of Easter, 9 John, by which Herbert warranted the charter of Grimbald his father to Roger, son of Adam, father of the said Adam, son of Roger, viz., of 2 oxg. in Ellel and £ car. in Thornbythwaite. The charter is quoted in full, from which it appears that the gift was made to Roger, son of Adam in frank marriage with Sueneva, daughter of the said Grimbald de Ellel. Adam gave Herbert 10 m. for this warranty. (C. B. Roll, No. 45, to. 6 dorso ; Feet of Fine*, Lane, No. 46.)
On the 23rd August, 1207, King John sent a writ to the Sheriff to seize the forest of Lancaster into the King's hands, after the death of William Gernet, who held it by serjeanty, and to appoint some one, jointly with a Serjeant of Hugh de Nevill's, to keep the said Forest. (Close Roll, 9 John, in. 5.) William Gernet's proffered fine for confirmation of the Bailiwick of the Forest had only been accepted during the fiscal year, and so appears in this Roll. The covert of Toxteth and arable strips belonging to the underwood of the Forest, i.e. clearings brought under the plough, were appropriated from the fee which his father Benedict Gernet had held, and reserved to the Crown.
Roger Gernet, brother of William, proffered 60 m. for the Baili- wick of the Forest. Of 50 in. of this fine Philip fitz Helgot, fermor of Kinver Forest, co. Stafford, sometimes called Philip de Kinver, acquitted Roger, and it was transferred to the Staffordshire Pipe Roll, where it appears as a debt from the 12th to 16th John. The Sheriff was directed to see that Cecily the widow received her dower in her husband's lands, and her third of his chattels. On the 13th November, the King sent a writ to the Sheriff' notifying him that the marriage of Cecily had been given to the Justiciar of
220 THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Chester. (Close i?o//, 9 Jcilm, in. 11.) Her dower was awarded to her in Fishwiek. In the 9 Henry III., William Gernet,son of the above-named William, claimed the Manor of Fishwiek from William le Vilein, husband of the said Cecily. They vouched to warrant Roger (.ternet. P>y line levied at Westminster, on the Octave of St. Hilary, William Gernet released his right in the said Manor to William and Cecily, for whi^h acknowledgment lioger granted to him i car. of land in Crophill, co. Nottingham, which William had formerly held of him, to hold by forinsec service due from £ car., when 21 car- made one knight's fee. Apparently Crophii* was a member of the Forest fee of Lancaster. Hugh de Moreton proffered a palfrey for the pasturage of the underwood of Simonswood, without detriment to the Forest, which pasture belonged to the Manor of Kirkby, which he held jure

NOTES ON THE PIPE KOLL OF 10 JOHN (.MICH. 1207-M1CH. 1208).
The Sheriff claims allowance of 14s. for the ferm of Formhy for the half year since Easter, 1208, when the King, as the result of an inquiry respecting the seizure of this estate from Richard, son of Roger, into his hands, when he was Count of Mortain, restored it to Hugh de Moreton, to whom it belonged jure xuoris. For tins inquiry Hugh had proffered 20 m., a sarcelle hawk, and a bracket, as appears by the Nova uhlata this year. Forniby was an estate of 3 car., two-thirds of which were now held by Hugh de Moreton in thanage, for the ancient service of 28*, and an increment of 6s. 8d., the remaining one-third by Quenild de Kirk- dale by serjeanty.
The Sheriff also claims allowance of £8, " in the default of West Derby, which has been removed to Liverpool." This allowance, which had been assessed by an inquest, continued until the 12th year and then ceased. The explanation of this entry is to be found in the following extract from the Patent Roll : —
" The King to all who desire to have burgages in the town of Liverpool, greeting. Know ye, that we have granted to all persons who shall take burgages at Liverpool, that they may have in the town of Liverpool all the lilyerties and free customs enjoyed by any free borough on the sea coast; and therefore we send you word that ye may go thither securely, and in our peace, to take your burgages and dwell therein ; and in testimony hereof we transmit to you these our letters patent. Witness — Simon de rateshull, at Winchester, on the 27th day of August, in the 9th year of our reign." (Patent Hall, 9 John, m. 5.)
It seems that in order to increase the importance of the new borough of Liverpool, the greater part of the population of West Derby was removed to the former place to iill the burgage tene- ments of that rising town, and the public were invited to settle there by the above proclamation. The process of removal lasted three years, during which period the issues of the land of West Derby ceased. No doubt the increasing revenue which had been derived from Liverpool for some years past, since the Crown had acquired it by exchange for Litherland (page 128), had annually appeared in the account of the " profit of the County."
De obiatis. — Roger, Constable of Chester, this year pays £39 5s. 3d. in reduction of the old fine due from Hugh Bussel and Robert his brother, for Penworthani (page 161).

Commits teruari'm Theobaldi Walterl— Upon the death of Theobald Walter, Robert le Yavassor proffeied 1,200 m. and two palfreys for the marriage of his daughter Matilda, Theobald's widow, and for her dower in her late husband's English and Irish estates, " excepting Amounderness," where she was only 10 have dower in Marton, ami in the fee of Weeton, which had formerly belonged to Theobald's father, Hervy Walter. (Fine Boll, 9 John, m. 1L> The writ to the Sheriff of Lancaster, and to other Sheriffs to deliver seisin, was dated at Carlisle, 19th February 1206. It was followed by another dated at Brook, 22nd July 1207, direct- ing the Sheriff to give Matilda her third part in Marton, which Theobald first held for 12*. vearlv fenn, but afterwards for an osprey hawk, ami in Weeton, Treales and Rawcliffe, and further to put lioliert le Yavassor in seisin. On the 1st October following, seisin was ordered to lv given to Fulk ritz Warren and Matilda the willow, whom he had taken in marriage. (Close £oll9 7 John, m. 3: 8 John, m. 16, m. 14.) He undertook to pay the tine which Huliert le Yavassor had proffered, himself finding 44 sureties for the payment of 600 m., and the said liobe rt. and William, brother of Fulk becoming sureties for the other GOO in. (Fine Holt, 9 John, m. 3. m. S <fu)'*>.)
Xova ohlata. — Richard de Meath's proffer for an assize of novel disseisin ou behalf of William de Appleby and Godeholf his wife, against Eoliert de Monhaut anil his associates, relates to a moiety of the Manor of Sale. co. Chester.
William de Yernoii, who had been Richard de Yemen's deputy, as Ciutfvs of the Honor in the 7 John, had Wen arrested upon some river bank in Northamptonshire, on what grounds does not appear. He married Margery daughter of Robert de Stockport, by his wife Matilda, daughter of Richard son of Roger. The said Eobert gave him the Manor of Little Appleby, co. Leicester, and the advowsou of the church of (treat Appleby. (XichoTs Z«r iV«\*/«t, vol. iv. p. 432.) This estate had formed part of the inheritance of Matilda de Stock- port, who also held ten marcates of land in Kirmington. co. Lincoln. These estates hail descended to her from her mother, Margaret daughter anil co-heiress of Thurstan Ranaslre.
Agatha Bretel, wid«»w of Geoffrey le Moine. proffered 60 m. and a palfrey for dower in her husband's estate in Flintham (page 196), and for her own inheritance, and lilierty to marry whom she would.
Adam de Kellet, son of Orm, had proffered one-third of 10 m.
koll of 10 joiin (1207-1208). 227
for the assistance of the King's Court against Roger Gerriet, who owed him that sum.
De placitis FOUESTiE. — The entries under this heading relate to various transactions which came under the jurisdiction of the Forest Justice, such as arrears of fines for relief, proffers for writs of right, and arrears of amercements, William Gernet, William le Boteler, and Adam, son of Adam de Kellet, each owed portions of their fines for relief. Althorn de Barton (in West Derby hundred ? ) paid £ m. for a defective suit. Richard de Vernon £ in. for the chattels of Leofwin de Hale, probably forfeited for felony. The Sheriff owed \ m. for small fines or amercements probably arising from woodmotes. Robert de Ryrom had discharged his debt of 20 m. by a payment to the King's Court or Palace, viz. 10 in. for licence to withdraw from a dispute with his man, Blackoker, against whom he had been unable to procure a writ of right ; and 10 m. for a destre, or war horse, from Richard, son of Roger, for which he had been called to answer by the King's writ. The balance of Roger Gernet's fine for relief of his brother's forest fee, for which Hugh de Nevill was surety, and Roger's under- taking to pay his brother's debt to the Exchequer, are again noted. Elias de Pendlebury owed 1 m. for a prmcijK quod reddat against Jorwerth de Hulton respecting 40 acres of land in Pendleton. A considerable portion of Lonsdale and Amounderness had been laid waste by the Conqueror during his northern campaign in the years 1069-1070. Probably Henry I. afforested every Lancashire township which was lying waste in the year 1103, when Roger the Poictevin forfeited his estates. Consequently King John's charter of liberties of the forest, which he had granted to " the knights and thanes dwelling in the Porest of Lancaster," -i.e. under the jurisdiction of the Forest laws in the county of Lancaster, covered a large number of townships, and included all, or the greater number of those held by serjeanty.
The compotus of Brian de l'lsle of the lordships of Knares- borough and Laxton or Lexington, which were then in the King's hands — the one as security for Nicholas de Stutevill's relief, the other during the minority of Matilda, daughter and heiress of Robert de Cauz — is enrolled at the end of the Lancashire Pipe Roll of this year.

NOTEH OX THE PIPE ROLL OF Jl JOHN (MICH. 1208-MICiI. 1209).
Two items of ex])enditure by the Sheriff call for notice. Seven wooden towers ready for conveyance, and doubtless intended for use in the campaign in Ireland, bad been provided by the Sheriff according to orders, at the cost of .£:> each. The maintenance of two ottrr pens or cages, with fourteen otter hounds, amounted to (Kk Tlie Pi]ir Pull*, tbe Lih'nttvtani{ the Misa: Hulls contain many entries relating to tin* Kind's ex]>euditure upon hawks and hounds. A large sporting establishment travelled with the Court.
Nova oulata. — The Abbot of Seez proffered 200 m. and two palfreys for a composition with the King touching the presentation of a Prior to the Priory of I-ancaster, on the following basis— that upon a vacancy the Abbot should present two of his monks to the King, who would then admit one or the other of them. On the part of tbe Abbot it was agreed that no Prior was to be removed without the King's consent. The Abbot also proffered 30 m. for licence to cross the scaaiiain to Xormandv.
Peatrice, widow of Hugh de Mittou, proffered 15 m. that she might not be constrained to marry against her will.
Adam de AVigan proffered 1 m. for a writ to amove his suit against Thomas, son of Yvo, respecting the latler's nativity, out of the county into the King's Court. An entry in the Patent Poll proves that he was vicar of Wigan. Upon the resignation of Kanulph, Treasurer of Salisbury and parson of the church of Wigan, King John gave that church to Robert Durham, his clerk, by virtue of his right of gift, Makerlield being then in his hands after the death of Warin Banastre " qui in fata concessit." I»y letters patent

dated 23rd April, 6 John, the King presented him to Geoffrey, Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield for institution, saving to Adam, clerk of the Church of Wigan and perpetual vicar, the vicarage which he had in that church. {Patent Boll, 6 John, m. 2.)
Amerciamenta per S. de Pateshull. — Simon de Pateshull, Adam de Port, Henry fitz Hervy, Robert de Percy, Alexander de Pointon, Henry de Northampton, Ralph Hareng, and Geoffrey de Lisle or some of them, held assizes at Lancaster during the week commencing 5th October, 1208. The Roll of these Justices of Assize for Lancaster is not extant, but the record of final concords concluded before them are preserved among the Feet of Fines for Lancashire. Amercements in cases not particularized amounted to £261 8s. 5d. ; in those of which details are given — amounting only to eight— to £17 6s. Sd,
Robert Grelley was suing Richard, son of Robert for the services and customs which he claimed from him, for a tenement in Allerton. Richard had denied his liability, but afterwards made concord and rendered the tenement which he had held — releasing all his claim therein — to Robert, who gave him 40s. (Feet of Fines, temp. John, Lane. No. 59.)
Robert and Adam, both of Preston, and Roger de Claughton each owed J m. for licence to withdraw their plea?.
Jordan, son of Hugh de Mitton proffered 20s. to be put in frankpledge again, which meant, in other words, that he might be discharged from prison, as appears in the Nova ohlata this year. His father died during the previous twelve months.
Eudo de Longvillers was suing Reiner, son of Peter for four oxgangs of land in Birtwistle in the township of Hapton, by writ of assize of mort d'ancestor. Reiner made concord and acknow- ledged Eudo's right to that land ; whereupon Eudo granted three oxgangs of it to Reiner to hold by the yearly service of 6s., acquit- ting him of the service due to the chief lords. For this grant Reiner released his claim in the fourth oxgang, and exchanged with Eudo twenty acres of these four oxgangs, which Thomas, son of Gospatric formerly held, for twenty acres of land of the oxgang which remained to the said Eudo. {Feet of Fines, temp. John, Lane. No. 52.) Birtwistle had been given to Eudo by Robert de Lacy. (Hist, of Whalley, II., p. 58.)
Elias de Peudlebury's amercement of 20 m. for a transgression — of which a moiety was -pardoned — probably has some reference to a dispute with Jorverth de Hulton about land in Pendleton.

NOTES ON TUE PIPE ROLL OF 12 JOHN (MICH. 1209-MICn. 1210).
At this time large additions appear to have been made to Lancaster Castle. Upon the erection of new lodgings for the King within the castle, the large sum of £352 3s. Id. was expended. The work was supervised by John de Torrisholme, a Serjeant, Walter the reeve, and Roger, son of Dunn.1
The following stores were purchased by the Sheriff during the year for the use of the army in Ireland : —
117 qrs. of wheat at 5s. the qr.
113 qrs. of oats at Is. 2d. the qr.
200 bacon hogs at Is. Gd. each
500 cheeses at 5rf. each 2 tuns of wine 1,900 horse shoes and nails at \d. each ...
2G0 cockerels at %d. each Carriage of corn and bacon to Ireland ... 3 10 0
To defray this unusual expenditure the Sheriff appropriated the profit of the county for two years, viz. £159 12s. 2d. ; and the following receipts — new ferm of manors (royal demesne), £14 3s. 6t/. ; Margaret, widow of Si ward, 16d. for the third part of a toft, which she held in dower ; the ferm and issues of Amounderness, £27 0s. 2d. ; the aid of the free tenants in the county, £131 IGs. 4rf. ; issues of a moiety of the pasture of Kaskenmoor, 12s. dd. Total £173 13s. lOd.
Roger, Constable of Chester, liquidated a further £20 of the Bussel's fine for Penwortham, and produced a writ royal granting
1 In a recent paper upon Lancaster Castle, by Edward W. Cox, read before the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire, on the 5th November, 1896, and printed in the transactions of that Society, N.8., Vol. xii, p. 93, the writer states that " the tower called Adrian's is of transition period, most likely built in the reign of John ; and its curtain waU and the now destroyed round tower to the north, that stood close to the south-west angle of the keep, are of the same period." The same writer attributes to thin period the round staircase turret on the inner side of the great gateway, and probably also tiie deep vault below the well tower. This opinion seems to find confirmation in the outlay recorded above.

acquittance of Robert Bussel's old tine of 100 m. for tin inquest, which writ was in the ollice of the Marshal of the Exchequer.
The town of South Kelsey, co. Lincoln, had escheated to the King. It was held for one knight's fee of lioger de Montbegou. Possibly William de Nevill, who died before Easter, 1211, had been mesne tenant.
This year the King took an aid from the free tenants of the county towards the expenses of building the new lodgings in Lancaster Castle. It was probably levied upon the same basis as the recent tallages. The great military tenants in the count}' were also invited to give assistance in making the ditches, as appears from the following Letters Patent —
"The King to lioger, Constable of Chester, Roger de Mont- begou, Robert de (Jrelley, and William le Boteler, &c. We beg of you to give us the assistance of your men in Lancashire to make the ditches round our castle at Lancaster, and our thanks will be due unto you therefor, since we do not ask it by custom, but this time only of your favour. Witness ourself at Clarendon, on the 3rd day of November." (Putmt Jloll, 10 John, ///. 8.)
The Sheriff answered for Vis. 6<l. for the issues for the half year of one moiety of llaskenmoor, which William de Nevill held jure uxvfi*, one of the daughters and heiresses of Adam fitz Swain, sometime lord of Hornby and Croston. Haskcnmoo*' was the name of a district lying around Oldham. It has not been fully identified.1
Since the 28fd March, 1208, the kingdom had lain under interdict. In 1209 the King had been declared excommunicate, and in revenge lwid seized the estates of the clergy. Roger, Constable of Chester, had taken the Abbey of Slanlaw under his special protection, and had proffered two good palfreys — which the King had accepted* — to obtain for the Abbot and house the safety and peaceable possession of their estates.
Richard de Singleton, son of Ughtred, died before Mich. 1211. Tlis son and heir, Alan de Singleton, proffered 20 in. for livery of his father's estates in Singleton and Uroughton, ami for confirma- tion of the oftice of Bailiff of Ainounderness.
1 In the survey of 1212, Roger de Montbegon is returned as holding 14 oxg. of land in Haskcneniore, inthanage, by 9*. 2\d. yearly, ami the moiety of a judgeship ; William de Nevill at* having held 13 oxg. in the same place, nUo in th image, by 9*. 0\d. and the moiety of a judgeship; which Litter estate was then in the King's hand*, because the heirs had not fined for their relief.

In tlie Cm-pus Comitatm the grant to Robert le IJous was entered as if withdrawn at Easter, 1211, but this was afterwards cancelled, and the grant withdrawn at Mich. 1210. The reason of this escheat does not appear. On 2.*>rd September, 1216, a writ was sent to the Sheril! of Lincolnshire to deliver to Oliver do Ponlchardon, the land in Navenby which formerly belonged to Kobert le Rous. {Close Holt, 18 John, //*. 2.)

Oif/., as stated in the ll.jll.
The l-alance of Hu^li de Morton's fine for liverv of 2 car. of land in Formhy is recited, but seisin does not appear to have been delivered, for the Eoll adds: — "fie need not be summoned (to the Exchequer to render account) because lie has not received seisin, nor can he have it for what he has promised." Injustice of this character towards his subjects was habitual to the King at this period.
Amkikiamenta per Sahekum Com. Wixt. — There is nothing to show that assizes were held this year at Lancaster. The pleas, some 2T> in number, from which amercements amounting to 59£m. arose, had been hoard before Saier, Earl of Winchester, and his fellow justices. The Earl, "Williun Ihiwere, and liichard de Marsh were ]>arons of the Exchequer at this time. Xo final concords relating to Lancashire for the reign of .John, of later date than the 1.0th year, are to be found, except one dated at York in the 12th year. The numerous breaks hi the continuity of the Public I^cords at this time disclose the state of disorgani- zation of both the fiscal and the judicial affairs of the kingdom during the latter half of the reign.
Nova oislata. — Gilbert de Kcllet proffered 20 m. and a palfrey for livery of his estate. He was son and heir of William de Kellet, whose death was noted in the 1st year (page 110). He takes the place of Henry de Kellet, who may have been his uncle or guardian.
The Prior of Lmcaster proffered 2 m. for a writ to amove his suit out of the countv court, into the Curia LVins.
1)E Scuta do Scotlk. — There is no reference in the Lan- cashire Pipe ftolls to the Scutage of the 12th year of John, "Pro liassaino Pegis in Hibernia." It is therefore to be assumed that all the military tenants did service in person or by deputy, as in

the Seutage of Scotland here noted. Where levied, the rate was iu both case3 2 in. per fee.
De ScUTAfiio Walli.k. — This seutage was put in charge this year, also at the rate of 2 marks per fee. In the Honor of Lancaster, 78 fees, A, }, and -^th part of a fee were returned as owing service. In eighteen cases the ShrrifV collected the levy due from 1(>, J, and T'4 fees (£22 8s. (>//.) ami the tenants of f>7, §» £> 1 fees were in attendance upon the King. A balance remained due from og fees. The entry relating to Knst-.ice de Vesei is out of place; he held nothing of the Honor of Lancaster.1 The " Fees of the Ihissels " were Broughton, co. Leic, and Thorpe Morieux, co. Suff., for which Roger, Constable of Chester, now answers. The entrv relating to the Prior of Ware is also out of place.
William de Ash ton, son and heir of Arthur de Ashton (deceased before Mich. 1212), proffered 100*\ for livery of his estate in Ashton in Amoundernes?. While in the King s hands this estate had yielded A in. for corn sold.
Richard de Bold died before Mich. 1212. Adam, his son and heir, proffered 100-s. for livery of 4 car. in Bold and La Quike (or Lawycke). The issues while in the King's hands amounted to 7s. Gd.
The heir of Matthew de Martin proffered 20 m. for livery of his land in Martin, in West Derby hundred. The amount of this fine is explained by a subsequent entry, where Matthew's chattels are accounted for to the King. His father had probably " dis- appeared about the time of the last Lancaster Assizes ! " The issues of the land while iu the King's hands amounted to 20s. for corn sold.
Henry de Middleton, son and heir of Si ward de Middleton (deceased before Mich. 1212), proffered 2 m. for livery of ,\> oxg. iu Middleton in West Derby hundred, which he held in tlianage, by the service of u.s\, and the fourth part of a judgeship. The issues receivable by the King amounted to '2s. ijtL

NOTES ON THE FINE KOLLS OF 15-17 JOHN (1213-1215).
Thurston Banastre's proffer of 60 in. by the hands of Geoffrey, dean of Whalley, had been made with the object of obtaining an inquiry by discreet men of the vicinage of Makerfield, whether the fee of Makerfield ought to descend hereditarily to him, from his father, Robert Banastre, and from his brother Warm, whose heir lie declares himself to be, or not. On the 10th September, 1213, the King, being then at York, sent word to the Sheriff of Lan- caster, directing him to hold an . inquiry into the truth of
24S TFTF. LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Thurstan's declaration, because he had offered to give the King 500 in. in case the finding of the jury should be in his favour. The inquiry was straightway held, and the finding of the jury certified, for on the 14th October following the Sheriff was directed to take security for payment of the fine of 500 m., and to give Thurstan seisin. In the Pipe Roll of 1G-17 John, the Sheriff accordingly claims allowance of £11 1 Is. 4rf. for two years' fenn of Makerfield, which had passed from his custody at Mich. 12i:i.
Richard de Molyneux died during the autumn of 1213. Adam, his son and heir, having proffered 40 m. for livery of his lathers estate, was put in seisin by writ dated at Hanley Castle, 24th November. The estate lay in Sel'ton, Thornton, Kuerdeii, and ]>o\vn-Lithcrland.
Thomas Mussel and Henry his brother — younger brothers of Hubert Russel, son of Geoffrey, who had been associated with Hugh Bussel in the alienation of the barony of IVnwortliani to Roger, Constable of Chester — and Mabel, widow of William lhissi'1, proffer 1 mark for an inquiry whether Ralph de Standish was indicting them for larceny wrongfully, and by hatred and malice, or because they were guilty. The Justiciar was to be certified as to the result of the inquiry, when the Curia Regis would decide the case, in lieu of the County Court.
Robert de Ainsdale died during the year 1214, and was succeeded by his eldest son Roger, who proffers 10 marks for livery of four oxgangs of land in Great Crosby, to which estate was attached the serjeanty or office of reeve of Crosby, and of the forest of West Derby. Roger de Crosby (or de Ainsdale) died before the 22nd March, 12o9, when he was succeeded by his brother Adam.
Henry de Redman gives the third part of 10 marks in return for the assistance of the Kings Court in recovering that debt from Hawise de Stutevill, widow (1) of William de Lancaster II (1170-1184), and (2) of Hugh de Morvill (1184-1202). She held the lordship of Garstang in dower, and lands in Kirk Oswald and I<azenby, co. Cumb.
Shortly before the year 1215, the Abbey of Furness had received a grant of Rorrowdale in Cumberland from the Lady Alice de Romilly. An account of this grant, and a copy of the very interesting charter by which it was effected, is to be found in the Annales Furnesicnses, pp. 173-5. The abbot proffers ten

palfreys for the royal confirmation of this grant, rendered neces- sary in that the Lady Alice had for the second time become a widow in 11 John, after the death of Robert de Courtney, having no issue by either of her husbands.
The Trior of Cartmel proffers one palfrey for the amendment of the royal charter of liberties granted to his house, by the addition of the words "all his tenants" in that clause of the charter which granted to the monks of that house, and to their demesne, acquittance of suit of shire, wapentake, etc. The charter of confirmation passed at Woodstock 2oth July, 1215 {Charter lloll, 17 John, m. 5). In return for this confirmation the monks relinquished their claim to 200 marks which the King had taken from them during the late interdict.

NOTES ON TUB PIPE JtOLLS OF 10 AND 17 JOHN (MICH. 1213-MICII.
1215).
Adam fitz Roger, on behalf of Gilbert fitz Reinfred as cuslvs, accounts for the ferm of the Honor for a period of two years.
William Colmose (or Corhnore), who appears to have been a royal huntsman at Ongar, co. Essex, had received for his main- tenance while in the King's service twenty-four solidates of land in Hamblcton, to hold during the King's pleasure. This land had been previously held upon the same terms by William de Pilkington, viz., the service of 24>. yearly. The writ to the Sheriff to deliver seisin is dated 18th June, 1213 (Close Roll, 15 John, m. 2, m. 5.) l^ess than two years previously, this township, con- sisting of three carucates of land, had been returned as held in drenga^e tenure by the men of Ilamelton for 24s. yearly. (Testa, II, f. 821.)
A fo\ry over the Mersey between Hale and Runcorn had
254 TIIK LANCASHIRE PIPE KOLLS.
formerly yielded an annual ferm of 20s., which had not been forthcoming for two years past. An inquest called to inquire into the cause of the default testified to the want of a boat, perhaps also of ferrymen, and the Sheriff had accordingly received the King's authority to ease his ferm by 3 m.1
On the 21st June, 1215, the King sent word to the Sheriff to give "to our dearly beloved and trusty" subject, Roger de Montbegon, eighteen solidates and eight denariates of rent, to wit the service of William de Tatham in Tatham and Ireby, " which we gave him whilst wTe were Count of Mortain," to hold by the service of a sor sparrow hawk. (Close Roll, 17 John, m. 31 ) Accordingly the Sheriff eases his ferm of 37s. 4(1. for the past two years.
By charter dated at Freckenham 28th July, 121G, King John jmve to Cockersand Abbev two carucates of his demesne land at Newbigging, near Singleton, which used to render lG.s. yearly, by the hands of the Sheriff, to hold by the yearly service of 20s\, payable at Lancaster at Michaelmas and Easter. The grant also included a wide range of franchises. (Charter Roll, 17 John, part 1, m. 5 ; Cockemmd Cfiartulary, p. 40.)
The Sheriff had recently purchased large quantities of provisi for the munition of Lancaster Castle, viz. : —
240 qrs. of wheat, at 3s. 4d. per qr. 121 qrs. of barley, at 2s. 6d. per qr. 400 bacon hogs, at 2s. 7d. each . . .
80 cows (alive), at 4s. each 130 wether sheep (alive), at Is, each 20,000 herrings, at ihL the long hundred GO qrs. of salt, at 2s. per stone ... 300 qrs. of oats, at Is. per qr. 10,000 quarrels for the crossbow

The total of these three accounts amounts to £392 os. 2 J*/., in addition to which the Sheriff claimed allowance of £200 12$. under the heading " in terris datis," including the ferm due from the borough of Lancaster and from Cockersand Abbey. Grand total £688 156*. 2^d. To meet this, he computed £400 from the ferm of the comitalus, and £142 8s. lOrf. in various receipts com- puted in the Pipe Roll, outside the corpus tvmitatus. Total £542 8s. li)d. The balance of £146 6s. 4±d. remained to be allocated to him.
Thomas de Burgh had married Sarra, daughter and heiress of William de Xevill. He now answers for the old debt of 15s. due from his father-in-law upon the second scutage. He had, however, answered for it in the Yorkshire Koll of the 15th year.
A comparison of the "oblata" of this Roll, and of the 13th year, proves the loss of the Roll for the 15th year. It is al.so referred to in the present Roll (page 251), and appears to have contained particulars of the eyre of the forest Justices.
De placitis forest.*;. — A forest assize had been held within the county during the fiscal year ending at Mich., 1213. It seems hardly possible that the estates of the persons amerced by the forest Justices could have fallen in all cases under the jurisdiction of the forest, widely extended as that area was. Possibly the forest Justices also dealt with cases of ordinary assize.
Peter de Healey held an estate in Healey, in Chorley township. Roger de Stanworth, of Stan worth, in Wheelton, had acquired thi>t estate in marriage with one of the daughters and heiresses of William, sou of Alan, lord of Gumiolfs moors. The Abbot of

Chester's ani?rcement was in respect of his estate of one carucatc of land in Kufford, acquired in almoign from Richard Bussel; that of the Trior of Thetford was in respect of lands in Croston and Tarleton, granted by Koger de Montbegon. (JfonmticoH, V, ]). 144.) Thomas de Cophill, probably father of Kichard, son of Thomas, who gave lands in ( -oppull to Burscough Briory, was lord of that township. These estates all lay in Leylandsliire.
Hubert de Clayton owed 12i m. and a palfrey for confir- mation and livery of the oflice of bailiil' of Leylandsliire, a serjeanty previously held by Ceroid de Clayton, now probably deceased.
Kanulf de Marsey died before 11 John, his son and heir, Koger, being in ward to Kustace de Morton when the survey of 1211-12 was made. Isabel, the widow, owed o7 m. and a palfrev for licence to marry whom she would.
Nova ohlata. — Alan de Singleton, son of Kichard, pro Hers 20 in. to have to wife Alice, daughter and co-heiress of William de Winwick, son of Hubert, together with the share of her father's tenements which was her inheritance. The estate consisted of live carucates of land in Thornton, in Amounderncss, cum- memhris, held of the King in thanage by the yearly service of 20.$. Hubert de Winwick had given one carucatc of this land, in Steyna, to Ughtred, son of Huck, grandfather of Alan de Singleton aforesaid, who was tenant thereof in the year 1212. (TV*/,/, 11, f. 820.) The marriaue of the other daughter and co-hcimss, Margaret de Win- wick, had been purchased by Baldwin Bhindol for 20 m., not- withstanding which, after a proffer of 10 m. bv Gilbert fitz Keinfred had been refused, we find that she had surreptitiously married Michael de Carleton, who afterwards — viz, 27th January, 1221 — made line by payment of 10 m. to the King for pardon in marrying her without licence. (Fine 7tV/, F> lien. Ill, m. 8.) Upon the death of Margaret, or Margery de Winwick in the year 1258, her purparty descended to her sou Kichard de Thornton, and in the vear 1320 Lawreuce, son of Robert de Thornton, held a moiety of the manor of Thornton by homage and service 8s. The other moiety descended in the family of Singleton, and subse- quently passed by marriage to the Banastres, being held in 1320 bv Adam, son of William Banastre.

ing to the Hulton pedigree, Kichard was the second son, and Robert the eldest; but it is more than probable that Richard was the eldest, as he is here named as paying relief. The names borne by the two earliest known members of this family suggest kinship with that Jorwerth, son of Bleddyn, son of Cynfyn, who was the leader of the party of Welshmen whom Henry T. won over to his side during the rebellion of Robert of Belesme in the year 1102, and who was defrauded by that sovereign of the lands which had been promised him, and kept in prison for several years. {Freeman s Norman Conquest, V, pp. 173, 211.)
William le Boteler, of Warriugton, owed a charger for a petition from the King to Aline de Fumess, widow of William le Fleming, that she would take him in marriage. She had previously purchased the right to marry whom she would (page 185). The petition was successful, and shortly afterwards she became his wife.
On the 1st August, from Bridgenorth, the King sent word to the Sheriff to take security from Richard de Meath, clerk, for the payment of four palfreys, and thereupon to put him in seisin of his estates in Walton, Formby, and Hale. The woods and the tallage of villeins were reserved to the King, and further the said Richard was not to levy any distress upon that land or upon the villeins. {Fine Roll, 17 John, vi. 7.)
Gilbert fitz Reinf red's fine of 12,000 m. has reference to an episode in the barons' war with King John in the autumn of 1215. On the 8th October William de Albini and a number of other barons and knights threw themselves into Rochester Castle, and held it on behalf of the barons against the King, who commenced to besiege it on the 11th October. On the 30th November the garrison surrendered. Among the defenders were Gilbert fitz Reinfred, his son William de Lancaster, and his knights Ralph de Aincurt and Lambert de Bussi. To obtain the King's pardon for himself and the release from imprisonment of his son and knights, and that all claims against him for the past up to the feast of the Purification (2nd February, 1216) might be remitted — saving his reasonable account, without vexation for the time during which he was the King's bailiff — Gilbert proffered the above fine.1 To ensure faithful performance
1 This confirms the supposition that the Exchequer had never received any account from the Sheriff of Lancaster for the 14th and 15th years of King John. Probably the accounts had been lost during the disturbances of that period. In

of his service to the King and payment of the fine, the following hostages were required, viz.: — Benedict, son and heir of Henry de Redman ; the eldest son of Roger de Kirkliy by his wife, the daughter of the said Gilbert; the foii and heir of William de Windlesorc by his wife, the niece of the said Gilbert; the son or daughter being heir respectively of Ralph de Aincurt, Roger de Rurton, Adam de Yealand, Thomas de Rcethain, Walter de Strick- land ; the daughter of Richard de Copeland ; and the son of Gilbert de Lancaster. Further, the said Gilbert delivered up to the King his castles of Morhull1 and Kirkby Kendal, to deal with as he would. This was transacted at Berwick-on-Tweed on the 22nd January, 1216, before Ranulf, Earl of Chester, William, Earl Ferrers, Roger de Montbegon, and Alexander de Dorset. (Fine Roll, 10 John, m. 6.) At the same time Gilbert, by his charter attested by Ranulf, Earl of Chester, William, Earl of Ferrers, Roger de Montbegon, and William de Cantelow, covenanted with his lord John, the illustrious King of England, that all the days of his life he would faithfully serve him, and his heirs begotten of Lady Isabella, Queen of England, that he would not at any time go against them, and that if he had made any oath to the King's enemies, he would not hold to it, nor would he adhere in any wise to the charter of lilierties which the same King had obligingly made, which the lord Rope had annulled ; and that if he afterwards withdrew from this compact, he would incur perpetual disinheritance. For further security he found the hostages named above, and surrendered his castles. (Clutrter Hull, 17 John, Rt. I, m. 2, dorso.) Accordingly, on the 31st January the King sent word to Robert de Vipont to give Gilbert seisin of all his lands in the said Robert's bailiwick, but to retain his castles in the King's hands. (Close Roll, 17 John, in. 11.)
The following were taken prisoners at the fall of Rochester Castle, and delivered into the safe keeping of Peter de Maulay

Probably it was the rojml of that ]x>rtion of thc"De Lancaster" fee in Lancashire which fell to the share of Lady Christiana de Lindsay, comprising lands in Whitt'ngton, Warton, Moreholmo, Carnforth, Scot forth, Ashton, and Nether Wyrcsdalc.

Scutage of Poictou. — This was the ninth and last scutage of King John. On the 26th May, 1214, the King sent word from Partenay, in Poictou, to Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester, then Chief Justiciar and Viceroy, to take a scutage at the rate of 3 in. on each knight's fee for the campaign in Poictou. {Close Roll, 16 John, in. 24.) The return from the Honor of Lancaster comprised 78 £ \ 11T fees, as in the Scutage of Wales (page 245.) John de Lacy's quota was excused, doubtless in consideration of personal service, viz.: — Clitheroe 5 fees, Widnes 4 fees, Pen- wortham 3 fees, and apparently 3 Bussel fees in Thorp Morieux and Broughton.

Tiik Crown Estates, ok Royal Dkmesnk of the Honor of
Lancaster.
During the reigns of Henry II. , Richard I., and John, the annual form of the Conutatits, i.e. the nett revenue received from the Honor of Lancaster, amounted to £200, reckoned by tale, irrespective of all increment of rent, increased value of the demesne lands, escheats, and other new or casual revenue. This Firma Com it a ■tun the Sheriff was supposed to collect, ami account for yearly at the Michaelmas Audit, at the Exchequer. It is proposed to give a short account hen1 of the various sources from whence this revenue arose, the necessarv information having been disclosed at various times in the Pipe Rolls.
Refore proceeding however to deal with the comitial estate, a few words may be said upon the various tenures found within the county. We have very little information as to the state of property in the county, when Roger, the Poictevin resigned his English fief to Henry I. Nor do we know when the greater feudatories of the county were actually enfeoffed, or by whom; nor the date? of creation of the various and considerable serjeanties found in existence at the end of the 1-th century. Of the lands granted in almoign we know more, but it is not proposed to deal with those estates here, as some account of them will be given in the series of charters printed and annotated at the end of this volume.
The Clitheroe fief and the Widnes lief were the earliest to be created. The first was given by Roger, the Poictevin, before 1086, to Roger de Rusli and Albert Grelley. After they resigned this fee, it was given to Robert de Lacy, between 1088 and 1102. The Widnes fief was created before 1080, probably soon after 1070, when the Raronv of Haltou was created, of which it was u member. The creation of the Molyneux fee of Sefton be-
APPENDIX TO THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS. 261
longs to the period between 1088 and 1102. Koger cle Mont- begon, Pagan de Vilers, and Kobert Grelley are nampd in the Lindsey Survey of 1114-1116; the first holding a large fief under Stephen, Count of Mortain. But whether the tiefs of Hornby and Tottington held by Montbegon, and Warrington held by Vilers, were created by Koger, the Poictevin, by Henry I. or by Count Stephen, after he received the Honor of Lancaster from his uncle, c. 1114, must remain a matter of doubt in the absence of any distinct evidence. As regards the Manchester lief, there can be but little doubt that it was the estate of three hides and half a teamland, held by Nigel in 1086 in the Hundred of Salford. It is uncertain who Nigel was, but I am inclined to think that he was dispossessed of this fief circa 1086-88, and that when Albert Grelley resigned his share of the Clitheroe fief, he received these three hides and half teamland in Manchester, together with the lordship of various other estates in the hundreds of Salford, West Derby and Leyland, in order that he might fulfil the quota of knights which are afterwards found to have been due from the fief of Manchester, as it existed in the 12th, 13th and succeeding centuries. The Charter of Roger the Poictevin, which will be found further on in this volume, by which he gave among other possessions, tithes of his demesne lands in Lancashire to St. Martin of Sees, distinctly shows that by far the greater part of the demesne between Kibble and Mersey, as it existed in 1066, had been granted to knights before 1094, in order to meet the military service due from the Count's Lancashire fief. Kaskenmoor and Croston came to Adam de Montbegon by marriage. The barony of Pen- wortham was probably created by Henry 1., or Stephen, Count of Mortain, but it is evident that Warine Bussel I. had been enfeoffed of lands in the Wapentakes of Leyland and Amounderness between 1088 and 1100, for a portion of the estate which he had previously held, lying in Chippendale, Aighton, and Dutton, was given by Henry I. in 1102, to Eobert de Lacy, as appears by the abstract of a charter printed among the early Lancashire Charters in the latter part of this volume. As there is no mention of Warine elsewhere, nor of his name as a witness to any of Koger the Poictevin's charters between 1088-1102 — although Geoffrey and Albert Bussel attest one in 1094 — it seems probable that he died soon after the accession of William Kufus. An endeavour will be made later to throw a little light on the early history of this Barony. It is said that the Makerfield fee was given to Kobert
262 APPENDIX TO THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS.
Banastre, in compensation for the loss of his castle and fee of Prestatyn, destroyed by Owen Gwynedd in 1167. In the Pipe Roll of 12 Henry II., & /. Warwickshire, the Sheriff* claims allowance of £10 paid to Robert Banastre, and £16 VtiAd. paid to two other persons, for the munition of the Castles of Basingwerk, Rhuddlan, and Prestatyn. This is the only reference to a Banastre in con- nection with Prestatyn to be found in these Rolls. There is, moreover, no evidence in the Pipe Rolls that the Banastre family held anything in Makerfield in the reign of Henry II. ; on the contrary, that district was tallagcd in the 15 Henry II. as if Crown land. It seems probable, therefore, that after the loss of his estate at PresUityn, Robert Banastre had a promise of Makerfield, which was never carried into effect during his lifetime. The Walter, or Boteler lief of Witheton (now Weeton), wits probably created by Stephen, before he assumed the Crown ; the Lancaster fief in the latter half of his reign.
The next important class of landowners wTas that of the Thanes. Their status, as revealed in Domesday, was distinctly servile in character, for they were bound by custom, equally with the villeins, to repair the King's halls and fishponds, and in the forest, the hedges of the enclosures, and the deer parks. In autumn they were also bound to send their reapers for one day to cut the King's crops. They rendered yearly two ores of pennies i.e. 'old. for each team-land. At a later period their tenure partook of a military character, and in the second century after Domesday they were occasionally engaged in arms on behalf of the King or chief lord, as for instance in John of Mortain's rebellion against his brother Richard. In the Pipe Rolls they are repeatedly classi- fied with the Knights (militrs). By the middle of the 12th century, and probably much earlier, the servile duties enumerated in Domesday had disappeared, doubtless compounded for in an increased yearly money service. This varied from 5s. per carucate in the lowest instance, to a rate three or four times greater. The amount paid for relief was usually a sum equal to one or two years money service, but before the date of Magna Charta, the amount wjis often very exorbitant. Tenure by drengage appears to have been very similar to that by thanage. The former term seems to have been synonymous in Xorthumbria for thanage. To give a list of Thanelands in Lancashire during the reigns ot Richard I. and John, would absorb too much space. It must suffice to say that they represented about 100 carucates, with to
APPENDIX TO THE LANCASHIRE PIPE ROLLS. 263
average yearly service of about 6s. 8d. for eacli carucatc. War pestilence, and famine, during the period 1086-1153, had destroyed many of this class, or had driven them to commenda- tion, or villeinage.
A large area of land was held by serjeauty. To the office of Chief Forester — a serjeanty held by the family of Gernet from the time of Henry L— there was attached an estate of 21 carucates of land. Other serjeanties brought the total to about 50 carucates. Of the offices attached to these estates, besides that already named, there were the following: — bailiff, or master serjeant of each of the Wapentakes, judgeships, horn-blowing at the King's entry into, and progress through the county, carpentry, gardening, masonry, falconry, lardenery, provostry, farriery, forestry, and a number of petty serjeanties. Many of these estates lay near Lancaster, and testify to the large area of derelict lands in Lonsdale after the Conquest, to the sparseness of the population there, and the necessity of securing and retaining officers and servants for the Castle, by these free grants of land.
The question as to what lands in the six hundreds, or wapen- takes— which afterwards constituted the county of Lancaster- lay within the jurisdiction of the Forest, cannot be definitely answered. But it is probable that Henry I. afforested, or placed under the Forest Laws, (1) all thane lands which fell into his hands as escheats, in the year 1102, and subsequently, (2) all estates belonging to serjeanties created during that period, or then derelict and afterwards given to Serjeants, and (3) some estates in the hands of the Crown in demesne. This supposition is fortified by the knowledge that the " knights, thanes and free- holders dwelling in the Forest," at frequent intervals during the reign of Henry IT., paid large sums of money for respite from the Eeguard of the Forest, and ultimately paid Count John of Mortain the sum of £500 for the charter of liberties of the forest, which is printed in cxtcvso at the end of this volume. The grievances of this class before Magna Charta were very great, for they could not assart an acre of woodland, or fell a tree, or pasture their cattle freely, nor protect their growing corn, nor their flocks, without living in fear of the next Eeguard. Ultimately the bounds of the Forests were limited and defined by a perambulation made iu 1228, when the whole county was disafforested according to Magna Charta, except Quernmore, Bleasdale, Fulwood, Toxteth, the wood of West Derby, and Burton Wood.

It in curious, to note that A.>l;ton and Black rod are described as being "of the Honor of Pevcrel. " This has been referred to before (p. 3ii). By writ doted at Oxford, 1 l'.h August, 1217, the Sheriffs of various counties wore directed to deliver full seisin to "our beloved nnd faithful William, Earl Ferrers, of all his demesne Ian K fee*, and scrvic: * of hi* men, due to him, of the Honor of Pevcrel, of the chastelry oi Peak, in their respective bailiwicks. (Ctusc Roll, 1 Hen. III., m. 11.) When the lief of Count Roger, the Poictc\in fell by forfeiture in the year 1102 into the hands Henry T., he probably gave those two small estates (und possibly tome few other-) to William Pevcrel I., who attached thc:n to his Honor and Castle of Peak. Before the year 111 t. the King created the Honor of Lancaster, out of Count Roger's escheated lief, and partially out of those of Roger de Busli, iHirand Malct, Erneis dc Burun and other?, with the addition of some few manors of ancient demesne, and bestowed this •'comtec" upon his nephew Stephen, Count of Boulogne and Mortain. I'pon the forfeiture of the Honor of Peferel in 1153, Ashton and Black red were to all intents and purposes annexed to the Honor of Lancaster, and upon the accession of Henry III. they were given with other estates of the Honor of Pevorel to William.

THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY,
11th and 12th Centuries.
The following series of early charters has been selected from Monastic Chartularies, the Public Records, Dodsworth's and Towneley's MSS., and private muniments, with the object of illustrating the history of the county from the Norman Conquest to the end of the reign of Richard I. The first twelve series relate to monastic foundations in co. Lancaster, in the order of creation, and the subsequent series to grants and confirmations made by the lords of the Honor of Lancaster, or their chief feudatories.
As such charters, together with the series of Pipe Rolls, printed in the first part of this volume, practically constitute the only available source of materials to illustrate the history of the county during the century which followed the Domesday Survey, the editor has thought it advisable to reproduce in the second part of this volume those which he has so far collected, in the hope that the list may be largely increased at some subsequent date.

NOTES. This continuation charter of Henry 1 to the Abbey of St. Peter of Shrewsbury, passed between the 4th April, 1120, the (late of the con seem t ion of David, Bishop of Hanger, and the 19th Sept. 1122, when Ralph, Arch- bishop of Canterbury died. The King herein confirm* Count Roger the Poirtevin's giant of a moiety of the fishery of Thelwall, near Warrington, i.e., that half of the fishery which lay on the Lancashire side of the Mersey, for Thelwall was in Cheshire ; also two hamletH called Poulton n?>d Woolaton lying near the fishery, being part of his demesne. Of the estates which

Godfrey, the Count's Sheriff had formerly held, at his prayerful entreaty the Count gave the church of Walton on the Hill, and the church of Kirkham, with land called Gai-ston, to procure the admission of Godfrey's son Achard, as a monk in the said church of St. Peter. All these the Count confirmed in frankalmoign, adding this, that whoever should seek to annul these gifts should be anathematized.
It is important to note that as regards Walton, Godfrey had no longer any power to alienate the church, for Count Roger had resumed possession of this town, at the date of the grant, which would probably be soon after the accession of Ruf us. The Sheriff earnestly petitions the Count to make a grant of this church as a favour. In the confirmation of Henry II given below, the church of Walton is described as of the gift of the Count, and not of the Sheriff. I cannot help thinking that the lands which Godfrey held in West Derby hundred before the temporary forfeiture of Count Roger's estates c. 1075-1088, had not been restored when the Count recovered possession.

NOTES.
This is a writ of King Henry I addressed to Stephen, Count of Mor- tain, and lord of the Honor of Lancaster, commanding that the monks of Shrewsbury should hold their moiety of the vill of Bispham free and quit of all customs, pleas, and suits of the Hundred Court ; and that if any one claimed ought against the men belonging to the monks of that house in his Court, that they should do unto them right.
It is attested by Pagan fitz John, who was sheriff of Shropshire in 1129- 1130, and about that time Vitnessed other charters of Henry I. This writ passed at Winchester, probably within two years preceding the King's departure to Normandy on 2nd August, 1133, after which date he never set foot in England again.

NOTES.
David, King of the Scots, was the son of Malcolm ('aiiumre, and brother of Matilda, wife of Henry J, and of Maria, the wife of Eustace, count of Boulogne, whose daughter Matilda was the wife of King Stephen. By his mother, Margaret, daughter of Prince Eadward, and gr.o id -da lighter of King Eadmund, l>aviil represented the eldest line of the Anglo-Saxon kings. With the object of obtaining from King Stephen the renewal of the old customary investiture of the Scottish heir-apparent with < 'umherland, and for himself the inheritance- of his queen, the daughter of Earl Waltheof in Northumbria and Huntingdon, he invaded the north of England in the early pait of the year 1 13G.1 Owing to the powerful army which Stephen led into the mirth against him, he was constrained to come to terms. Within two years however he made two further' attempt*, in the second of which hits army, led by Prince William, son of 1>uncan, on the loth June, 1138 defeated the English army at Olitheroe with great slaughter.
It was about this time that King David granted the above charter of confirmation and protection to the abbey of Shrewsbury, whose monks doubtless considered it politic to obtain from the paramount lord a con- firmation of their estate in liispham, which lying to the north of the Ribble lay within the region of tin* old Kingdom of Xoi thumbria. The charter was witnessed by Hugh de Morvill, lord of ishall, and lJurgh-ii]>on-Sands. The

other witness was Henry, son of Swain, lord of Langwathby and Edenhall, The charter passed, like the succeeding one, at a place called " Chulch'," or the "New Castle of Chulchet." I have not l>een able to identify this place. Probably it was Kelso, formerly Kilchou, or Calcehoti, whither King David had removed the monks of Selkirk, about 112(5-1128. The word appears to have been incorrectly copied from the original charter.

NOTES.
This charter, or letter of protection, is of similar nature to the last. In this case the church of Kirkham is mentioned in addition to the land which the monks of Shrewsbury had in Bispham, which alone was protected by the previous letter. The date is apparently the same as that of the charter which precedes it. The identity of the place at which it passed is uncertain. Perhaps, as suggested alx>ve, it was Kelso.

NOTES.
By this charter Ran u If Gernons, Earl of Chester, directed his Justices l>etween Ribblc and Mersey, and his ministers and servants, to permit the abbot and convent of St. Peter of Shrewsbury to have and hold peaceably and quietly, as ahnoign of holy church, all their possessions in the land "between Kibble and Mersey," particularly naming Garston, according to his previous cliarter of confirmation (No. VII.), and particularly that Richard, son of Multon, as he loved the Earl's favour, should fully render to thein the service due for Garston, which was probably the fee farm rent mentioned IhjIow. The Earl also enjoined his officers to make no demand whatever upon the said Richard for any service, custom, or exaction formerly pertain- ing to that manor, for the Earl had acquitted him fully thereof, seeking nothing from that estate beyond the prayers of the said monks.
This Richard, son of Multon, was the father of Adam de Garston, a lienefactor of the abbey of Cockersand ; he had also at least two brothel's, Henry, son of Multon, and Ralph, son of Multon, mentioned in the Coucher of Whalley. Adam de Garston I. died in 1200, in which year the custody of his son and heir Adam II., was purchased by Robert de Ainsdale (Pipe Roll of 8 John, page 210), who may have been brother of Margaret de Garston, widow of the said Adam I., afterwards married by King John to Richard de Liverpool (Testa II. f. 813). When the survey of 1212 was made, Garston was held of the King in chief, as of the Honor of Lancaster in thanage, by the yearly service of 20*., by Adam de Garston II., who was still underage. Hugh, son of Henry, son of Multon, also held under Adam 3 oxgs. for 22^d. of the feoffment of his said grandfather ; Thomas held 4 oxg. for 2s. Gd. also by the feoffment of the said Multon ; Henry, son of Matthew, held 3 oxg. for 22\c?., also by the feoffment of Multon, and Simon held 3 oxg. for 22id. by the feoffment of his brother Adam de Garston I. (Testa II. f. 813.)
The witnesses to the Earl's charter were— Gilbert de Clare, created Earl of Hertford by King Stephen in 1138, was the Earl's nephew, being the son of Ranulf Gernon's sister. Cadwalladr ap Grpffyth, who liad married for his third wife, Alice, sister of Gilbert de Clare, was the younger brother of Owen Gwynedd, who liad recently succeeded his father,

NOTES.
This charter is interesting as recording the result of the long continued controversy between the abbeys of St. Peter of Shrewsbury and St. Martin of Sees, respecting the church of Kirkham, which had apparently been the sub- ject of a gift by Roger the Poictevin to both houses. (See Nos. I., II. and VI.)
The archbishop herein recites the fact that during the occupancy of the See of York by his predecessors (*.e., Thomas I., 1070-1100, Gerard 1100- 1108. Thomas li., 1109-1114, and Thurstan 1114-1140), the monks of Shrews- bury ofttimes made complaint that their house had been unjustly deprived of the church of Kirkham, which had been given in lawful form by Count Roger the Poictevin, and duly confirmed to that church by letters under the seal of Archbishop Thomas I. (1070-1 100), until at length having come to him, and having laid their complaint before him, being moved by their complaints and constrained by the command of lord Henry, legate of the apostolic see, he had committed their case for hearing under his own direc- tion in the synod at York. Whereupon the deed of gift by the Count being read, and the privileges of the archbishop's confirmation being heard, judgment was given by the unanimous consent of the synod to the following effect — that the church of Kirkham be restored to the church of St. Peter of Shrewsbury, whereof they had been wrongfully and without judgment deprived. These being witnesses — Ralph, bishop of Orkney and the Isles, Benet, abbot of Whitby, and Elias, abbot of Selby, together with the synod of York, and the chaplain of the church of St. Peter of York.
The said Archbishop William was consecrated to the See of York 2Gth September, 1144, but deprived by the Pope in 1147. This decree was there- fore made some time during that period.

It appears that certain letters under tin; seal of Thomas, late archbishop of York, confirming to the monks of St. Peter of Shrewsbury the church of Kirkham, had l>cen accidentally destroyed l»y a fire which took place at Pontefract.

This document was probably issued shortly after the judgment contained in the decree which precedes this charter. Possibly the originals suffered destruc- tion through the carelessness of the messenger who was carrying them liack tu Shrewsbury.

NOTKS.
Contention having arisen between the abbots of Shrewsbury and Sees touching the church of Diddlebury and manor of Billingsley, co. Salop, Bishop Robert de Betun, of Hereford, arranged a composition between the two houses during the year 1147. It appeal's that the Norman Abbey of Sees had laid claim to certain possessions of Shrewsbury Abbey ever since its foundation, as if the founders had expressed some intention of making the latter a daughter house to Sees." If so, this would explain the anomalous position of the church of Kirkham as a gift from Roger the Poictevin to both houses. As we have seen in ('barter No. VI., the Prior of Lancaster, as the deputy of the Abbot of Sees, had resigned to Shrewsbury the church of Kirkham and tithes of Walton alxmt the vear 1130; and in return the Abbot of Shrewsbury had given a tenmland in Bispham, and tithes of Laton and Warbreck to Lancaster. So now in the present dispute, the Abbot of Sees regnmts to Shrewsbury what his affiliated Priory of Lancaster had formerly received, together with the church of Kirkham, and in return the Abbot of Shrewsbury grants Diddlebury church and Billingsley manor and the chapel of Bispham to the Abbey of Sees. Thus ended a curious instance of the kind of claim which an original foundation might make to the estates granted to a quasi affiliated house.
When Bishop Betun made this charter of composition, the following clerics were present in the Chapter of Hereford :— Gilbert, Abbot of Gloucester, who succeeded to Betun's see within a year after ; Reynold, Prior of Wenlock; Edmund, Prior of Leominster; William, Archdeacon of Loudon ; and Godfrey, Archdeacon of Worcester, whose appointment to that office in 1 147, or before the death of Bishop Betun on the 22nd April, 1148, fixes the date of this charter.
1 It had been built and first occupied by monks of See», brought over by Earl Roger de Montgomery, aud the first two abbots of tho new house came from Sees. Eyton's Hist, of Shropshire, Vol. I, p. 35; Vol. V, p. 170.

NOTES.
The date of this confirmation is c. July, 1155, when Henry II. was at Bridgenorth, engaged in suppressing the rebellion of Hugh de Mortimer (Itinerary I/en. II., p. 10). Since the previous confirmation (1120-1122), the monks of Shrewsbury had acquired from Pagan de Vilers the tithes of Laton and Warbreck. From William fitz Nigel, baron of Halton, and Constable of Chester, who died in 1133, they had received a grant of a third part of the town of Thelwall. The grant of tithes of Newton in Makerfield had been made by Count Roger the Poietevin after the charter of 1093. This proves that between the date of Domesday and 1102, as indeed long after, Newton continued to be part of the demesne estate of the lords of Lancaster.
Among the witnesses are — Reginald Fitz Roy, natural son of Henry I., whom King Stephen created Earl of Cornwall in 1140; William, Earl of Gloucester (ali<ts Bristol), who had succeeded his father Robert, another natural son of Henry I., in the earldom in 1147 ; Roger, Earl of Hereford, Lord Constable of England, who died this same year (I Henry II.) ; Hugh Kevelioc, Earl of Chester, who had recently succeeded his father Rami If Gernons, whom William Peverel had caused to l>e poisoned in 1153; William Fitz Alan, lord of Clun and Oswaldestre ; Robert de Dunstan- vill, afterwards lord of Heytesbury, co. Wilts. ; Walcheline Maminoiit, lord of Greenwich, and Roger Corbet of Caus, co. Salop.

NOTES.
The commanding style of this letter is interesting. u Henry by the grace of God, King of England, Duke of Noimandy and Aquitaine, and Count of Anjou, to his Sheriff and Bailiffs of Lancaster, greeting. I com- mand you that ye cause the Abbot of Shrewsbury to have well, peaceably, and rightly his fishery of Thelwall, as freely and fully as he ought to have it, and as his predecessors had it in the time of King Henry our grandfather. And that ye prohibit anyone from setting a net in front of his fishery to his loss and injury. Unless ye shall do this, my justiciars of those parts shall do it, that for lack of right (i.e. justice) I hear no more complaint in that behalf. Witness, Richard, Bishop of Winchester, at Feckenliam, [in Worcestershire].
The King was at Feckenliam about the 9th October, 1176. During the year after Michaelmas, 1177, Thomas, son of Bernard, the forest Justice, and his associates were in eyre in the county, dealing not only with forest pleas, but also with matters of ordinary assize. Probably the King referred to this prospective eyre. Ralph, son of Bernard, was at that time Sheriff.

NOTES.
The date given to this charter by the monks of Sees, viz., a.d. 1094, is supported by what is known of the grantor and the subjects of the grant. Roger, third son of Roger de Montgomery, acquired his surname of " the Poictevin" through his marriage with Almodis, daughter of Audebert, Comte de la Marche, in Poictiers. After the conquest he received inter alia, the land " between Ribble and Mersey," which had been part of the Confessor's royal demesne. In the spring or summer of 1071, after the revolt of Eadwin and Morkere, he further received Amounderness and a portion of Lonsdale, which had passed to Morkere with the Earldom of Northumberland by consent of Earl Harold, after the banishment of Tostig at the end of 1065. These possessions embraced pi-actically the whole of the present county of Lancaster, except Furness. The house of Montgomery were always staunch partisans of the Conquerors rebellious son, Robert Curthose. During the years 1077-8, Robert rose in rebellion againwt his father, and endeavoured to seize the ducal castle at Rouen. In this un- successful revolt he was aided by the sons of the two great earls of the Welsh border, with the result that his supporters were exiled and their English estates forfeited. We know from Domesday that Count Roger had lost the greater part of his English estates before 1086. It was during the period which followed his rehabilitation in his English estates, after the accession of Rufus in 1088, and before the final downfall of the house of Montgomery in 1102, that the restoration of the Abbey of Sees was under- taken by that family, and* the extensive grant of churches and tithes in Lancashire, set forth in this charter, made by Count Roger, as part of his contribution to the endowment of the favourite Abbey of the family.
This charter contains much matter of historical interest, but it is to be regretted that the three or four versions which have been preserved to our time, are all more or less corrupt in certain minor details. When Count John of Mortain confirmed this grant during the period 1189-1194, the original was doubtless before the clerk who wrote that confirmation. It is written in the first person and contains fewer corrupt readings than the
U 2

transcripts of the original grant. For that reason it is included in this series of charters.
In Lancaster the grant comprised the church of St. Mary, and a portion of the townlands lying between the orchard of Godfrey the Sheriff, and the Priest- wath. This would he a ford used by the priest or priests of I>aneaster, and the land would probably lie, like the orchard, below the then recently erected keep, along the hanks of the Lune, towai-ds the north- west. If so we may with some reason suppose that the fields now known as the Vicarage Fields, may be identical with the subject of this grant. Near Lancaster, Count Roger gave two manor houses with all that pertained thereto in lands and villeins. These two estates were Aldcliffe and Bulk. The underwood as far as Frith-brook comprehended as much of the modern township of Bulk as had not l>een included in the grant of the manor house of Newton with its appurtenances. Frith-brook, which occurs in the Forest perambulation of 1228, was the boundary between Newton, now Bulk, and Quernmore Forest. (Close Roll, 12 Hen! Ill (No. 38), m. 10 dom.) The Count also gave such jurisdiction or priviledge, and customs in the lands above granted, as he himself had in Lancaster, and Amfred de Montgomery under him, and whatever the latter still held of the Count.1
In Hkysham, the church, which was of Saxon foundation, and had been endowed with one-third of the whole land of that town, which was 4 carucates of land.
In Cotgrave, the church, *>., that moiety of the church which belonged to Count Rogers manor in Cotgrave. The other moiety belonged to the fee of Ralph de Burun at Domesday. After the forfeiture of Count Roger's possessions in 1102, Henry I appears to have revoked this grant, and to have included this moiety of the church in the feoffment made to Robert. Orel ley in Nottinghamshire. When the said Robert and his son Albert Grelley founded the Abbey of Swineshead in Lincolnshire in the year 1134, they gave the moiety of the church, and all the land they had in Cotgrave, to the new foundation. (Jfonasttcon, Vol. V, p. 337 ; Thoroton's Notts. Vol. I, p. 107.)
In C-RorniLL, the church or rather the chapel, which suffered a similar re-disposition to Cotgrave, and was granted by Michael de Vilars and his brothers to Thurgarton Priory, about the end of the reign of Stephen. (SlonttAticoiii Vol. VI, ]). 191.)
In Wakerley, the church. Wakerley was a manor of ancient demesne m co. Northampton. It was in the possession of William de Lanvaley, temp. John, and passed into the possession of John de Burgh with the barony of Lanvaley. His daughter and co-heir Hawise, brought it by marriage to Robert Grelley, 7th baron of Manchester. I cannot oiler any explanation as to how Count Roger possessed an interest in this manor and church.
1 1 believe the readings which give this name in the accusative case are corrupt. Count John's confirmation gives it in the nominative. It is difficult to suppose that the bearer of this name could possibly have beea a villein, or chattel given to the monks of Seen, oven if the context hud not made that impossible in referring to 44 whatever he (Amfred) holds of the Count." It is much more probable that he was a cadet of the house of Montgomery on whom Count Roger ha4 bestowed some estate near Lancaster.
THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULAUY. 293
In Croston, the church. Tins is Croston co. Lane, and not Crofton, co. York, for the latter was in the fee of Pontefiact. Pope Martin V appro- priated the Rectory to the Abbey of Sion, and the Bishop of Lichfield ordained a Vicarage in the year 14:20. At the dissolution the advowson jwssed to the Crown. (Nvtitia CWr. Vol. II, p. 353.)
In Eccleston in Leylandshire, a moiety of the church. Count Roger had enfeoffed one of his knight* of the nioietv of the town of Eccleston, with the other moietv of the church. In later times this moiety was held by the Gernets and Dacres as a member of the Forest fee. In the \ear 1:2-13, Sir Roger Gernet of Ilalton, and his under tenant Warine de Walton quit claimed their right in the advowson, which thus became wholly vested in the Priory of Lancaster. The remaining portion of Eccleston was after- wards held as of the barony of Penwortham.
In Cjiildwall, the church. Here, as in the case of Cotgrave and Cropliill, Henry I revoked the grant of the church to Sees, and gave it with the township to Robert Grelley. But the Priory of Lancaster continued to own the tithes, and also succeeded in ho far proving some claim to the advowson, that they obtained by composition an annual pension of iiOx. payable by the clerk for the time l>cing.
In Preston, the church. Here again the Crown resumed possession after the forfeiture of Count Roger's lief in 1102, and the chun-h remained vested in the Honor of I^ancaster until the grant of Amounderness to Theobald Walter in 1194. In 11%', the Abbot of Sees and Theobald were engaged in litigation respecting the advowsons of the churches of Proton and Poulton, with their chapels. A final concord was made at Westminster on the 10th May, 1106, whereby Theoliald quit-claimed to the Abbot the advowson of the church of Poulton, with the church of Bispham and all appendant chapels ; and the Abbot rendered to Theobald the advowson and presenta- tion of the church of Preston, with the appendant chapels, subject to an annual pension of ten marks to be paid yearly by the parson for the time being to the Prior of Lancaster. At Theobald's death in 120.">, Amounderness escheated to the Crown, and with the church of Preston became again vested in the Honor of Lancaster. The tithes of the demesne and of the lishery, two oxgangs of land, and tithes of the whole parish of Preston, were appendant to the church and passed with it.
In Kirk ii am, the church. During the reign of Stephen a dispute arose between John, Abbot of Sees, and Ranulf, Abbot of Shrewsbury, touching the church of Duddlebury and manor of Billingsley. A composition was made between H3J)-il47, by which the Abbot of Sees gave to the Abbot of Shewsbury the chinch of Kirkham, the tithes of Laton and Warbreck, and a carucate of land in Bispham which lmd been given to the Prior of Lancaster as a composition for Kirkham church. The Abbot of Shrewsbuiy in return gave to the Abbot of Sees the church of Duddlebury and Billings- ley, the chapel of Bispham and tithes, which Count Roger had given to Salop Abbey. (Series II, Charter No. XXVII.)
In Mellino, the church, which was afterwards exchanged by the Abbot of Sees with Roger de Montbegon for the chapel of (Ti-essingham, circa 1217-1220.
In Bolton -le-S a nds. This place, like Lancaster and Pi-eston, was in
294 TIIK LANCASHIRE CIIA11TULAISY.
Count Honor's demesne ; accordingly the grant included Ixssides the church, tithe <>f the demesne, half a carucate of land, which belonged to the church, and all other tithes there. After contention between the Abbot of Sees and the Archdeacon of Richmond in the year 1240, touching the Priory of Lancaster, a composition was effected, by which the Prior gave up for ever to the archdeaeon. the right of jwitronage, a pension of three marks, all rights which the Abbot of Sees had in the church of Bolton in Lonsdale, in return for continuation of the moietv of the church of Poulton, then held by Alex, de Stanford, and the chapel of Bispham, upon certain conditions which do not appear to have been afterwards fuliilled.
Is Poulton in Amoun denies**, Count Roger gave the whole town with whatever belonged to it, and the church with one carucate of land belonging to it, ami all other appurtenances. It is prol table, that after the forfeiture of the Count's lief in 1 1 02, King Henry revoked this gitint, for Theobald was engaged in litigation about the advowson of Poulton in and before the year 111)0, as already noticed. Both the Register of Ijancaster Priory, and the Pipe llolls, prove that the Abbey of Sees had l>een disseised in 1102, at anv mte of the land in Poulton, if not of the church.
Count Roger's grant further comprised tithe of venison, and of pannage throughout his underwoods, tithe of his fishery at l^aneastcr, and the third draught of the net in the pool by St. Mary's church; tithe of foals, calves, Jambs, goats, pigs, of corn, cheese and butter upon his demesne estates at Kstonbury (probably Ashton-under-Lyne in Salford hundred), Salford, West Derby, J Tale, Everton, Walton-on-the-lTill, Great Crosby, Ravens- meols, Crostnn, Preston, Ribby, (Jreat Singleton, Preesall, Middleton-in- Lonsdale, Overton, Skerton, Bare, Stapleton-terne and Sline. These places embraced practically the whole of the Count's demesne in Lancashire, which continued as the demesne of successive lords of the Honor of Lancaster with few exceptions until 1180-94, when Count John of Mortain commenced to grant out various estates in feefarm. The exceptions were Walton-on- the-llill, granted by William, Count of Mortain, to one Waldeve as a serjeanty, between 1153 and 1100 ; < Jreat Crosby given partly as a serjeanty about the same time, and partly in feefarm ; Ravensmeols given as a serjeanty by Henry II to Warine. the Falconer, who is sometimes called Warine de Ijancaster ; Croston given to Adam fitz Swain, or to his father Swain fitz Alric (who also had Hornby and large estates in Yorkshire and Cumljerland), by tenure unknown, but probably, like Hornby, in burgage ; a moiety of Middleton in Lonsdale was gninted out alnmt the middle of the 12th century to the ancestor of Adam de Middleton living 1212, to hold by chivalry ; Stapleton-terne was given in almoign to Fumes* Abbey, except |>erhaps a portion held by the Uerneto, who afterwards gave their estate also to Furness.
These gifts Count Roger made to the honour of God, and for the maintenance of monks to celebrate divine service in the monastery at Lancaster, free from any secular service or custom to him or his successors, but enjoying the like jurisdiction and customs that he himself possessed in the lands so given. He also declared his willingness to confirm any grants made by his knights or tenants, who desired to receive the prayers and benefits of that house, even to the half of their fees. Hearing which,

Godfrey the Sheriff gave the tithes of Bispham, and what he had in Lancaster, viz., houses and the orchard previously referred to, and Ralph Gernet gave three of his Suffolk villeins, to be transferred to the Lancaster estates of the newly founded monastery.
The witnesses' names are most important, for we may expect to find among them the names of some at any rate of the Count's Lancashire knights and thanes. After his own name and that of his daughter Sibil, the first is that of —
Godfridus Vickcomes, the Sheriff of the Counts English fief, the northern portion of which was not yet, nor for nearly a century after, styled the county of Lancaster. He was one of the ten knights who had been enfeoffed by the Count before Domesday, and was at the date of the Survey holding lands of the King in West Derby Hundred. He certainly was not, nor could have been Baron of West Derby as he is described in Mameceatre, p. 34, for that estate was in demesne, and he was only so far " Sheriff of Derby," in that he was Sheriff of the whole comitatus of Count Roger.
Albertus Grklktt. This is Albert Grelley, to whom before the time of Domesday, jointly with Roger de Busli, the hundred of Blackburn had l>een given by Count Roger. He has been generally regarded as the tii"st baron of Manchester, but the evidence to prove it is practically nil. As, however, his son Robert Grelley certainly held the barony during the latter part of Henry I's reign, and was holding a small portion of the escheated fief of Erneis de Burun in Lindsey in 1114-1116, of the King in chief, it is evident that he or his father did not suffer banishment with Count Roger. It may be that after the Count's restoration circa 1088, he gave the hundred of Blackburn, as he certainly did the territory of Rowland, ro Roger de Lacy, and at the same time gave Manchester, which had been forfeited or resigned by Nigel, the Domesday tenant, to Albert Grelley in lieu of his former fief in the hundred of Blackburn.
R filius Roberti has not been identified.
G. Boisel, A frater ejus. The position of these names after Grelley, and before Vilers, suggests that these two brothers were Count Roger's knights, and ancestors of the Bussels, barons of Penworthain. The surname suggests a mean origin. It has been frequently mistaken for a variant of de Busli. 1 therefore take this opportunity of stating that the two names are entirely distinct, the latter belonging to a Domesday tenant of far greater importance than Bussel ever attained to. The name Geoffrey occurs more than once in the Bussel family during the first century and a half after Domesday. Is it, therefore, too much to supj>ose that G stands for Galfridus, and that he was one of the two " Goisfridi " who held lands in West Derby hundred temp. Domesday ?
Pagan us de Vilers. The first reputed baron of Warrington. He afterwards held fees under Count Stephen of Mortain in cos. Nottingham and Lincoln. In the latter county he was tenant of Upton, between the years 1114-1116.
Rannuncarel, or Raynewarus, V. filius Alumje, or Alium-k, have not been identified. V. probably stands for Vivianus.
Orm filius Ciielet, or Retell, was son of Ketel fitz Eldred, who before 1093 held various estates under Ivo Taillebois, both in the barony
296 THE LANCASHIRE C1IAKTULA11Y.
of Egreinont, co. Cunih., and in Kendal. Orm married Gunild, daughter of Guspatriek, sometime Ksii*l of Northumberland (who held the manor of Ulverston before the conquest), and was ancestor of the Cur wan family of "Workington.
Ulf filius Torolf has not been identified.
Hauanciiil filius Ra«shanald, possibly father of Roger, son of Ravenkil, a thane living temp. Stephen and Henry II, who was the father of Richard, son of Roger of Woodplumptim, who founded Lytliam Priory circa 1189-1194.

NOTES.
From the Chronicle of John, Prior of Hexham, we learn that in the year 1149, "Henry, sou of Geoffrey, Karl of Anjou, and the Empress Adcla came
THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY. 297
at Whitsuntide1 to Carlisle. King David received him with great respect, and with a splendid preparation of wealthy munificence. He also endued him with the belt of knighthood, in the presence of his son Henry, and Banulf, Earl of Chester. Which Ranulf then abated his auger touching Carlisle, which he had demanded to be restored to him as his patrimony, and he did homage to King David, for speech was exchanged between them that for Carlisle Earl Ranulf should liave the Honor of Lancaster, and his son should have to wife one of the daughter's of Henry, son of the King of Scots."
" And so King David, and young Henry, Duke of Normandy, and Ranulf, Earl of Chester, were agreed together to unite their forces and advance against King Stephen. 80 King David with his powers proceeded to Lancaster, and Henry with him, for there Earl Ranulf had promised to meet them with his gathered host. But he, performing not the things he liad under- taken to do, departed from their determinations. Wherefore Duke Henry returned to his own country."*
It is unnecessary to repeat here the grounds upon which the Earl of Chester claimed Carlisle and Cunilxjrland. Since 1138, King David had been in possession of Lancashire north of the Kibble, that is to say, of that part of the county which he claimed to belong to the Earldom of North- uinbria. The Earl of Chester had also since 1141 been in possession of the land between Ribble and Mersey, and the rest of the Honor of Lancaster, except Roger de Montbegon's land in Lincolnshire. From the above chronicle we learn that the Earl resigned himself to the loss of his patrimony in Cumberland, on condition that King David should hand over to him all Lancashire north of the Ribble, which clearly formed part of the Honor of Lancaster. These negotiations were effected at Whitsuntide, 1149, and the Duke of Normandy, who had no doubt assisted in bringing about the conciliation between the King of Scots and the Earl of Chester for his own private reasons, induced them to further his intended campaign against King Stephen by undertaking to collect their troops, and to meet him later at Lancaster. On his journey south, however, the Earl began to see matters in a different light, with the result that he withdrew his promise of assistance. It was no doubt on his return from Carlisle, while resting at Lancaster on July 27th, that he exercised his prerogative of issuing the above charter of liberties within that part of the county which had passed to him by virtue of the agreement at Carlisle.
The witnesses were — Nomian de Verdon (1130-1153), Lord of Newbold Verdon, and Fariiham Royal, co. Leicester ; William de Lancaster, Baron of Kendal, who is frequently called fitz Gilbert in charters of King Stephen's reign ; Robert Banastre, ancestor of the Lords of Makerfield, and at this time holding lands of the Earl of Chester in Wales. He gave Kethlenedei to Basingwerk Abbey, which Henry II confirmed with other grants about August, 1157; Richard le Boleter, Baron of Warrington, Fulc de Brichel- hert (Beddgelert /)> probably another of the Earl's vassals holding land in Wales ; Michael le Fleming of Furness ; John and Roger, two chaplains at

John, Count of Mortain held the Honor of Lancaster from the time of his father's death until he rebelled against his brother Richard I, and was by him dispossessed in the spring of 1104. It is practically a repetition of Count Roger's charter, but it is noticeable that several important details of the gift are wanting in that text of the charter of confirmation, which was before the Forest Justices of 1287, at Lancaster, although they appear in two other texts, viz., on the Patent Roll of the 18 Richard II, and in the Register of the Priory, compiled in the fifteenth century.
The witnesses are — Roger de Plasties, the Count's justiciar and one of his Norman vassals, and a landowner in Essex1 ; William de Bussei, another Norman knight ; Theoliald Walter, afterwards lord of Amounderness, and Sheriff of Lancaster from the G to 10 Richard I ; Richard de Vernon, Sheriff, when John was lord of Lancaster, and from the 3-7 John ; John de Nevill, a tenant in chief iu Newton, and Sixhills, co. Lincolnshire ; the next name appeal's to be corrupt ; Roger de Newburgh, a landowner in Dorset and Somerset ; Enguerrand de Preaux, son of John de Preaux, a favourite minister of both Kings Richard and John2 ; and Richard, son of Waldeve, lord of Tatham and Ireby.

The church of St. Oswald of Winwick in Makerfield was confirmed to the Priory of Nostell by Henry I, in a general charter of confirmation to that house, of which the date was 10th January, 1121. The reference to the grant is in these words : — " De Stephano comite Moretonii, et de Rogero de Limesi capellano ejus, ecclesiam Sancti Oswaldi de Macrefeld." The church of Winwick was therefore given by Stephen, Count of Mortain, before 1121, ue.y between 1114 and 1121. The royal mandate directing the bishop of Lichfield and Coventry to cause right and justice to be done to the prior and canons of St. Oswald of Nostel, respecting their dues, of which their clerks of Makerfield, i.e., of the church of Winwick, were disseising them, was probably addressed to Robert Peche, who was bishop from 1 3th March, 1121, until his death on 22nd August, 1 120. " Fereham" is Fareham, near Portsmouth, where a number of charters were expedited by King Henry, when about to cross into Normandy in the year 1123. It is most un- fortunate that copies of several other charters relating to Winwick, and probably the copy of Count Stephen's original grant, have been lost through the tearing out of a number of the leaves of the Register of Nostel.

NOTES.
The Chronicle of Symeon of Durham preserves to us the following reference to the foundation by Stephen, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, and lord of Lancaster, at Tulketh, near Preston, in the year 1123, of a Cistertian Abbey, affiliated to that of Savigny, in Normandy : — "Anno M. CXXI1J Stephanus comes Bononicensis, postea rex Angliae, dedit abbati Gaufrido Savinniensi villain, scilicet Tulket, in provincia quoo vocatur Agmundernes, super ripam flu minis Bibble, ad abbatiam construendam ordinis sui tempore Kalixti ]>apa? ; et ibi fere per tres annos permanserunt.,,•
Aft the end of three years Count Stephen endowed them with his whole forest of Furness (then an undefined tract of country, see No. V) and Walney, with the right of hunting in these territories, Dalton in Furness, and all his demesne in Furness with the men (free and villein), Ulverston, and Roger Bristwald with his possessions, the Counts fishery in the Lune, Warine the Little with all his land, and soke and sake, tol and theam, infangenthef, and whatever was contained within Furness, except the land of Michael le Fleming. Accordingly in 1127 the new Abbey resigned the

hamlet of Tulketh1 to the Founder, and removed to their new possessions.. The townships of Furness had been assessed to Dane Geld as 41 teamlands. By this grant exactly one half, or 20£ teamlands devolved upon the Abbey, including Dalton, Ulverston, and the demesne lands. The remaining 20$ teamlands held by Michael le Fleming within those townships, of which he had been previously enfeoffed at the fee farm service of £10 per annum, viz., Pennington, Urswick and Aldingham, were particularly excepted from the grant to the Abbey. Roger Bristwald was, I believe, Count Stephen's tenant in Kirkby Irleth, and afterwards appears as Roger de Kirkby. By this grant he became a vassal of the Abbey.
Of the witnesses, Hugh de Campagny and Oisivalin (?) de Argentan were the Count's foreign vassals, as it is probable that Robert de Archib2 also was. Robert Grelley was baron of Manchester, Geoffrey Bussel baron of Penworthara, Roger fitz Richard, and Robert de Sachevill, knights holding fees in Essex and Suffolk, &c, respectively.
A very full account of the foundation of this Abbey will be found in Beck's Annates Furnesienses, p. 109, et seq.

NOTES.
King Stephen's confirmation of his foundation charter made when he was Count of Boulogne and Mortain, and Lord of Lancaster, is chiefly interesting because it contains a reference to William de Lancaster, the fourth reputed Baron of Kendal, and first of his line. It appears that he was possessed of the lordship of Mulcaster (now Muncaster), over the Penningtons of Pennington in Furness, and under Robert de Romilly, lord of Egremont and Skipton, who held it in right of his wife, Cecilia, daughter and heiress of William de Meschines. This over-lordship appears to have been due to the fact that certain manors in Cumberland and north West- morland, which had been held by Ketel, son of Eldred and others under Ivo Taillebois, first reputed Baron of Kendal, liad descended to William de Lancaster, by virtue of the grant to him of that reputed Barony, from Roger de Mowbray, son of Nigel de Albini, who had received a grant of that barony from Henry I, probably some years after the death of Ivo Taillebois (see Series XVI).
It is however evident that William de Lancaster's interest in Muncaster can only liave covered the feudal rights of escheat, wardship, marriage, &c, and as no more is heard of Furness possessing any title here in after years, we may presume that the grant was annulled.
The names of the witnesses to this confirmation have not been preserved, and therefore the date can only be surmised. As however King Stephen gave Lancashire, between Kibble and Mersey, to Eanulf Gernons, Earl of Chester, in 1141, the date probably lay between 1136 and the latter year.

NOTES.
William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, Earl of Warren, and Lord of Lancaster, succeeded to the last named fief before the death of King Stephen, his father, by strict right of inheritance, and in accordance with the agree- ment made between his father and Duke Henry in 1153 (see Series XIII). He confirmed his father's charter of foundation by the same description as that used in the original grant. It is dated at Thetford, co. Norfolk, where the Earl might have been on a visit to the Priory of canons of the order of the Holy Sepulchre, founded there by his wife's father, William, third Earl of Warren. The witnesses are his uncle Reginald de Warren, Robert de Wesvenal, who has not been identified, Simon de Cailly, one of his knights, Robert Qrelley, Baron of Manchester, Ralph de Plaiz, another of his knights, Osbert Martel of Edlesborough, co. Bucks., William de Lancaster, Baron of Kendal, Roger, son of Ravenkil, thane of Woodplumpton, in Amounderness, Eustace his Chancellor, and William fitz Rabode.1 The date will lie between the treaty of Wallingford, made at Winchester, 7th November, 1153 (by the provisions of which the Earl took over the Honor of Lancaster, which had then recently escheated to the Crown after the death of the Earl of Chester), and his death in 1160, but probably soon after 1153.

The above charter printed verbatim et litteratim from the original in the Public Record Office, records the confirmation by the Earl of Warren of an exchange made between Ewan, the first abbot of Furness, and Michael le Fleming, by which Michael held Bardsey of the Abbey, and the Abbey held Roose and Crivelton (now Newton) of Michael, in order to consolidate their respective estates. The charter also records the settlement of a dispute, between the Abbey and le Fleming, made by the Earl in the presence of his barons, by which John de Cantsfield, then Abbot, gave to Michael, one team land in Furness, called Little Urswick, and one team land in Copeland, called Foss, and ten shillings yearly out of the issues of these estates until the Ablxrt should put him in seisin, and the land in Lancaster which Warine the Little gave to Furness, to hold of the Abbey, free and quit of secular service. The witnesses are — Reginald de Warren, the Earls uncle ; Fara- muse de Boulogne, the Earl's Norman baron ; William de Lancaster, baron of Kendal ; Adam de Montbegon, baron of Hornby ; William de Yseiny of Wit King ton, co. Lancaster, one of the Earl's knights ; Roger, son of Ralph who has not been identified ; Richard Bussell, baron of Penwortham ; Richard le Boteler, baron of Warrington ; William Malebisse, probably a member of the Yorkshire house of that name ; Robert de Boy vill, probably brother of Godard de Boyvill of Milium ; and Eustace, the Chancellor.
THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY. 309
The charter was dated at Lancaster, probably when the Earl was on his way to Carlisle, where in January, 1158, Henry I granted to him the honour of knighthood. It is also noteworthy that Faramuse of Boulogne had been in England the previous year.1

The fishery of the river Lune at Lancaster was one of the items of Stephen's original grant of Furness to the monks of Savigny. By this charter the Earl of Warren grants to them licence to take what timber they might require for making balks or weirs in the Lune for the purposes of their fishery there.

NOTES.
This letter of protection passed at Nottingham, apparently circa January, 1158. It is noteworthy that the endorsement describes it as a letter of protection " against Michael le Fleming," who five years before had made an exchange with the monks of Furness, of Roose and Crivelton (now Newton), for Bardsey. Perhaps he had afterwards found reason to be dissatisfied with the exchange, and had been endeavouring to cancel the agreement.

NOTES.
This document relates to a period when there were no definite divisions known as the "County of Lancaster," or the "County of Westmorland." The former description when used would apply to the whole Honor of Lancaster, and not to that part only which was afterwards described as " Comitatus Lancastrian infra Limam." The latter description, as Westmeringland, or Westmeriland, embraced only that part of the present county of Westmor- land which lay to the north-east of Bori-ow Beck, Long Sleddale, Kentmere, Hartsop, and Patterdale.
Before the Conquest, the distinct to the north of Morecambe Bay contained a number of townships, of which the Domesday Survey says that they "lie to Hougiin,'' which lay partly in Cumberland, and partly in Furness. There were also two separate manors, viz.: Ulverston and Alding- ham. This district merged into the neighbouring lordship of Kendal, through a wild, uncultivated, and sparsely inhabited region of fells and dales, rivers, and lakes. After Count lioger the Poictevin's first forfeiture of his north country fief, a few years before the date of Domesday, those of his manors which lay in Westmorland and Yorkshire were severed from the rest of his fief, and given— as regards Eweeross Wapentake and Kendal — to Ivo Taillebois, and soon after Ivo's death, to Nigel de Albini, progenitor of the noble house of Mowbray. The rest, as we know, excluding the other Yorkshire manors, was restored to Count Roger by William Rufus, but was finally lost by the forfeiture of 1102, when it remained in the Crown until Henry I incorporated the Honor of Lancaster, and about 1114-1116 bestowed it upon his nephew Stephen, Count of Boulogne ami Mortain. About twelve years Liter, Stephen gave Furness to the monks of Savigny, then settled at Tulketh For the next forty years the Fell country which belonged Iwth to the lord- ships of Furness and Ulverston, and to the Lancaster fief of Kendal, remained undivided, until dispute, followed by litigation in the King's Court, arose 'netween the monks of Furness, as lords of the district of Furness (including Flemings moiety), and William fitz Gilbert de Lancaster as lord both of Ulveston, and of the fief of Kendal, which Roger de Mowbray had bestowed upon him with lands in Lonsdale and Ribblesdale. (See Series XVI.) This was settled by an agreement made before King Henry II, duly
THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY. 313
confirmed by him in this charter of confirmation, whereby Kendal was to be divided from Furness by a boundary established upon oath according to the King's precept by the verdict of thirty freemen occupying lands in the adjacent districts. This boundary commenced from the three shire stones " as the water descends from Wrynose Haws into Little Langdale (long after called Langden), thence into Elterwater, and thence by Braithay into Windermere, and thence into Leven, and so into the sea." Of the land so parted from Kendal, the Abbot of Furness took, as belonging to his liberty of Furness, the eastern part, lying between the boundary described above, and a boundary commencing " from Elterwater to Tilburthwaite, and thence to Coniston, and thence to the head of Thurstan water (the ancient name of Coniston lake), and thence by the bank of that water unto Crake, and thence into Leven." William de Lancaster chose the western part, as the portion belonging to his manor of Ulverston, which he was to hold under the Abbot of Furness by the yearly service of twenty shillings, " for which the son of the same William shall do homage to the abbot of the same place." He also possessed the exclusive right of hunting, and the hawks in the Abbot's portion of the Fells. A postscript endorsed on the charter gives the following boundary between Furness and Copeland : " As the water descends from Wrai-nes-hals (Wrynose Haws) into Trutehil (Troutal) and thence by Duden unto the sea."
It is difficult to fix the exact date of this agreement because the King was frequently at Woodstock, between his accession and the 26th January, 1168, when Robert de Chesney, Bishop of Lincoln, died. Eyton gives the date circa September, 1157, but that appears to be too early by some years, because William, Count of Boulogne, and Earl of Warren, was Lord of Lancaster until his death in 1160, and if living he would have had something to say about this agreement. Again, Albert Grelley's relief for his barony of Manchester apparently became due during the shrievalty of Geoffrey de Valoines, as appears by the Pipe Roll of the 16 Henry II, 1169-1170 (p. 15), where he figures with others as debtor to the King for 18 J marks, apparent1 y the balance of his relief. Geoffrey de Valoines was Sheriff of Lancaster from Michaelmas 1164, to the same date in 1166. But he was probably sheriff before that period, Michaelmas 1164, being the date at which the Honor of Lancaster passed to the Crown from the heirs or assigns of William, Earl of Warren. Furthermore, there is no apparent reason for the gathering of so many north country barons and knights at Woodstock in 1157. It appears probable that the correct date should be 1-7 July, 1 163, immediately after the campaign against the Welsh, in which the King was accompanied by Richard de Luci, the Justiciar.
Of the other witnesses, William de Vesci was Sheriff of Northumberland ; Geoffrey de Valoines, Sheriff of Laucaster ; William de Egremont was William fitz Duncan, who in right of his wife was lord of Skipton, the estate of her father Robert Romilly, and Lord of Egremont, the estate of her mother, the daughter and heir of William de Meschines. Albert Grelley, Lord of Manchester, son of Albert Grelley, the elder ; John, Constable of Chester, son and heir of Richard fitz Eustace, Baron of Hal ton, and Constable of Chester. The fact of John fitz Richard being here described as "Constable" proves that his father was then dead. Richard le Boteler, Baron of Warring-
314 THE LANCASHIRE C1IAT5TULAKY.
ton ; Henry fitz Swain, Lord of Langwnthbv and Eden hall, and brother of Adam fitz Swain, supposed Lord of Hornby ; Gospatrick, eon of Onn, Lord of several manors within the Barony of Egremont ; and Richard, son of Yvo, whom I cannot identify. The presence of several Cumberland knights at Woodstock confirms the supposition that the correct date of this charter should be in 1103, because there is reason to believe that after raiding Carmarthenshire in April and May of that year, the King travelled north to Carlisle, and afterwards returned south to Woodstock.
The list of names of those persons by whose verdict the division of the Fells was made, is interesting as containing the names of many free tenants holding Lands in Furness, viz., in Broughton, Pennington, Marton, Kirkby Irleth, Orgrave. Dalton, Urswick, and some other townships outside Furness. Among the first six, two witnessed the King's charter ; of the other*, Roger, son of Ravenkil, and Michael le Fleming of Furness, were well known knights, holding lands in Lancashire ; William Gernet was chief forester of fee in Lancashire, and William the clerk of Cartmel, may have been the parson of Cartmel, or an official connected with the royal demesne there. Among the last few names we find Orm, son of Bernulf, of Over Kellet, and Ughtred, son of Edmund, of Newby, in the parish of Clapham.
Further disputes alxmt the Fells of Furness arose between the monks and Gilbert fitz Reinfred in the time of King Richard, which were settled by a Final Concord levied at Westminster, on the 11th February, 1196. (Lanca- shire Final Concord*, p. 4.)

NOTES.
This letter of protection for the monks of Fumess was proliably granted by William, King of Scots, wbile he was besieging Carlisle during April, 1 174. The first witness, Duncan, was Earl of Fife and Justiciar of Scotland ; Waldeve was Earl of Dunbar, son and heir of Gospatric, the third Earl, who died in 1166 ; Richard de Morevil, lord of Burgh upon Sands, in Cumberland, was the Scotch King's Constable ; Philip de Colville was one of the King's vassals in Yorkshire. All these four witnesses are named in the agreement between King Henry of England, and William, King of Scots, made at Falaise, circ% 10th October, 1174, among the hostages which the latter gave for his liberty.

NOTES.
This confirmation is similar to that which the monks obtained from William de Warren, Count of Boulogne (Charter No. IV). It passed at Nottingham and has been erroneously attributed by Eyton to a date circa January, 1158. As, however, the first witness is Roger, Earl of Hereford, who rt signed his Earldom and Castles to the King in the Spring of 1155, and very soon after took the religious habit, the correct date appears to be during the Summer of 1155. The other witnesses were Robert, Earl of Leicester, Warine fitz Ceroid, the Chamberlain, and Manasser Biset, one of the Royal Stewards.

NOTES.
Roger the Poictevin gave the township of Howick, near Preston, to the Abbey of Evesham, between the years 1088-1102. Unfortunately the deed of gift does not appear to have been preserved by the monks of that house, the grant being recorded in the Chartulary {Harl. MS. 3763, fol. 58) merely in these words — " Rogerus Pictaviensis dedit Hocwike."
In the aliove charter, Abbot Maurice (1096-1122) obtained from the four brothers Wolfgeat, Swain, Ralph, and Liulph, a quit-claim of all their right in Howick for the sum of 26*. Liulph, however, became tenant of the Abbey, under this agreement, of a certain portion of the township, upon the

condition that he should render yearly for that land upon the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin [September 8th] one hundred good salmon, which wero presumably to be cured. From a final concord made in the 4 John, it appears that the land which the descendants of Liulph then held in Howick of the Abbot of Evesham was one teamland (Final Concords, Lane, 4 John, No. 20). This teamland, and another in Penworthain, correspond with the area given in the Domesday Survey.

NOTES.
By this Charter Ranulf de Gernous confirmed to the monks of St. Mary of Evesham their estate of Howick, to hold in frankalmoign as well and peaceably as in the time of Count Koger the Poictevin, and in the time of the grautor's father, Ranulf de Meschines. This latter expression was merely dictated by vanity, and must not be taken to mean that the Earl actually considered that his father, Ranulf I, had ever had any claim in any portion of Lancashire ; for it is most certain that he never held any interest in
320 THE LANCASHIKE CHAKTULAKY.
either the county or honor, nor ever made so preposterous a claim, seeing that King Stephen's title to that honor was unimpeachable.
The Earl further forbad any man to intermeddle with the monks in the possession of their estate, nor to harass them with demands for customary operations or other exactions, as he should stand in fear of God, or of forfeiture to the Earl. The witnesses were — Eustace fitz J ohn, jure uxoris Constable of Chester ; Hugh, the Hawker ; Serlo, the Hunter ; Richard Bussel, afterwards Baron of Peiiwortham ; and Richard le Boteler, afterwards Baron of Warring- ton. The charter passed at Warine's Meols (that is Ravens -meols), a name acquired from Warine the Falconer, sometimes called Warine de Lancaster, who held this township by serjeanty, and to distinguish it from the neigh- bouring Argar-meols, and North-meols. Possibly the Earl was visiting that portion of the county in search of sport, Ravens-meols being under the jurisdiction of the forest. The date is probably during the year 1149, either before or after the Earl's journey to Carlisle to meet David, King of Scot- land, and devise further treason against King Stephen.

NOTES.
The date of this charter has been variously and erroneously given by different authorities as of the reign of William the Conqueror, or of William Rufus. Some writers who ought to have known better, have declared the belief that Warine Bussel was the son of Roger de Busli, the Domesday tenant in chief, whose only son died (naturally or- otherwise) two years after his father, circa 1100-1102, as a ward of Robert de Belesme. A date between 1086 and 1096 has been assigned on the ground that it was perfected before Abbot Bobert, who presided over the monastery during that period ; but a mistake has most certainly been made either in the name of the Abbot, before whoni the above agreement was made, or in the omission of an Abbot Bobert during the reign of Stephen. That the latter hypothesis may be correct is evident from the fact that Maurice, who succeeded Abbot Bobert in 1096, and ruled the monastery until his deatli in 1122, is said to have been succeeded by Begiuald, whereas an entry in the Register ( Vesp. B. xxiv., fol. 27) refers to the year 1130 as the first year of the hitter's abbacy.' This would suggest a date between 1122 and 1130. I am, however, disposed to believe that the name " Bobert" has been given by the compiler of the Chartuhiry in mistake for "Reginald/' possibly by the erroneous extension of the initial " B," as it was by no means an uncommon practice to write only the initial letter of an Abbot's name.
In support of the statement that the date hitherto attributed to Warine's grant is incompatible with the facts, it is to be noted that in his charter, Warine refers to his son " Warine," and also to " his children." Now it is certain that he had at least three other sons, viz., Richard, Albert, and Geoffrey, and the Testa de Sevill names six daughters. Of the sons, both Albert and Geoffrev survived until the time when the Honor of Lan- caster was in the hands of Count John of Mortain (1189-1194), during which period Geoffrey was a suitor in the County Court at Lancaster {Fine Boll, temp. John, p. 49) and Hugh, his brother, was fining for his relief after his father's death, as appeal's by an entry in the Pipe Roll of 6 Richard. "Hugo Buissel reddit compotum de xl marcis de fine Relevii sui, quam fecit cum Comite Johanne." Albert died in or yery shortly before the year 1194, or surely some portion of the tine would have been collected by Count John's sheriff. It is obviously improbable that those who were living as late as 1189-1194, could have been described as children by the father, at a date much earlier than 1140. From entries in the Testa de Nevill (II, f. 816), and from No. IV of this Series, we see evidence that three of Warine's daughters were unmarried at his death, and afterwards at their

respective marriagen were endowed by their eldest brother Ricliard, wlio had succeeded t<» the Barony. Agjiin, when the monks of Evesham obtained from Rainlf GernoiiH a confirmation of their estate in Ilowick, and letters of protection, no mention whatever was made of IVnwortham Church or of any other estates as having been at that- time bestowed upon them. From this it might appear that. Warine's gifts were made at a subsequent date.
Further evidence in support of a later date is the occurrence among the names of the witnesses of Cl Constantine, the Abbot's Chamberlain," who also ap]M*ai7t as a witness to the grant of Loynton, co. Staff, by Abbot Reginald to Ruliert Dunham (StaforMiirc Historical Collection*, Chartulary, Series T, No. III). It is known that he held five houses in Evesham of the Abbey. These are the grounds upon which it seems advisable to associate this document with the abbacy of Reginald, and to a date after the year 1140.
The agreement was, in fact, a confirmation by Warine Bussel, with the consent of his wife and children, of a former grant to the Ahl>ey, viz.— of the church of Pcnwortham, together with those of Ley Land and Northmeols and all their belongings and acquisitions ; and <>f the whole town of Fairing- ton. In addition to tho former gift hereby ton firmed, Warine bestowed upon the abb«y for the health of his soul, and the souls of his wife and children, one teamland and a half of land in the town called Martin, with the moiety of his stock there, viz. four cows, four oxen and three 9Core sheep. He also bequeathed a second maniple, and his body for burial, with his own third ]>art of his chattels, upon condition that three brethren and a chaplain should henceforth minister in the church of Penwortham, rendering the first year to the Abbot and monks of Evesham ten shillings in charity, and in subsequent yrars two marks of silver, and further that they should receive into the brotherhood his son Warine, if he wished to become a monk. In this manner Warino confirmed the covenant quit of all exaction and claim, so far as }>ertaiiiecl to him and his children, and laid it uj)on the altar.
Tho witnesses on the part of the Abbot were — Ranulf, the clerk, Constantine, the Abbot's Cliamberlain, and Rernaiil the Cook. On the part of Warine — Walter, his knight, the said Walter's nephew, the son of Acard, and William. ApjKirently none of his own children were old enough to attend with him and attest the agreement.

NOTES.
Richard Bussel herein confirms to the church of Evesham the grant in frankalmoign made by his father Warine, viz., the church of Penwortham with tithes, Farrington, i.e., the township with appurtenances, two oxgangs of land in Longton, 3*. yearly from the church of Leyland, two-thirds of the tithe of his demesne there, 2s. yearly from the chapel of Northmeol«, two- thirds of the tithe of his demesne in Freckleton and Warton, the free right of fishing in the Kibble with one net, and tithe of the corody of his mansion, t.&, of the provisions assigned to the use of his castle or mansion at Penwortham.
Tn addition to his father's grants, Richard. Bussel granted to the Abbot a

free court at lYnwortham, in ail respects as freely as his father Warine held his court, or he himself then held his ; and he bestowed upon the abbey these further gifts,— the church of Ijeyland, the fourth fish from his fishery, which was to be always fished with two nets, four oxgangs of land in Longton, one oxgang in I'eiiwnrthum, and tlie ehaj>cl of Northmcols.
During his father's time, the abbey had only received jxmsions from the church of Leyland, and from tin* chapel of Northmeols ; he now gives the whole of these churches with their appurtenances. The abbey no longer held the earucate and a half of laud in Martin. Instead of that land, the monks had received two oxgangs in Longton, two-thirds of the tithes of the demesne in Wart on and Freckleton, which manors had not yet been wholly granted out, and certain tishing rights. This compensation, if we may call it so, had been made by Richard Uussel, after his father's death, and after the year 1153.
The witnesses were numerous, and as many of them held estates in Lancashire, and their names occur but seldom, owing to the scarcity of Lanca- shire charters of the 12th century, some attempt will l>e made to identify them.
William; priest of the church of Preston, the advowson of which was at this time vested in the Crown.
Lu'lpii, priest of the church of Croston, which had been given by Roger the Poicteviu to St. Martin of Sees (Series II, No. 1). He was the incum- bent under the Prior of Ijiucaster, who exercised the rights of patronage.
Eakwakd or Award, priest of the chapel of Tjongton.
(iKoffrky, OsiiEiix, and Ralph, chaplains in the church of Penworthatn. Tt was a condition of Warine 1 tassel's grants to Evesham, that the abbey should maintain three canons and a chaplain in that church (see No. II). It had not yet been constituted a Priory under Evesham. That advancement was set. *u red by the Hull of Tope Alexander III, dated at the Late ran, 3rd of the nones of Manh, between the years 1159-1181.
KoitKiiT, the Dean, probably of Kirk ham.
Osiutiix, son of Edmund, has not been identified. In the Pipe Roll of 31 Henry I, (Jxbcrt,R<m of Edmund and his brother rehired, son of Edmund, ]>aid a line with other thanes of Count Stephen of M'ortain, holding lands between Kibble and Mersey, for a concord with the said Count. It is, how- ever, hardly probable that this person is the witness named above.
Okm, son of Mauni's1 is thus referred to in the Tiwta de AVnY/, II, f. 818. ' ITervey, father of llervey Walter, gave to Orm, son of Magnus in marriage with his daughter Ali/., or Alice, four carueates of land in liawcliffe, Thistle- ton and (.irceiihalgh." In the year 12-12, John de Thornhill held 2 car. in Middle Rawcli tie. of Theobald lc Uotelcr by the service of one-twelfth part of a knight's fee ; Roger de Notesargh and William de Kirkham held 1 car.

Orm son of Ail ward was ancestor of the Asshetomi of Athton-uiuler-Lyne, and had nothing to do with Ormskirk, which belonged to the Lathoms as a mombcr of the manor of Lit thorn.

in Thistleton ; and Adam de Bradkirk and others held 1 car. in Greenhalgh by the service of one-twelfth part of a knight's fee, which latter had been held before that date by Warine de Corney. As these estates were thus held in 1242 directly of the Butlers of Ireland, it is probable that Warine, son of Orm, son of Magnus, died without heir.
Of Swain Child nothing is known.
William, son op Alan, held 4£ team lands in Gunolfsmoors, i.e., in Ollerton, Wheel ton, Hoghton, Withnell, Stan worth and Roddlesworth, and Whittle-in- the- Wood, of the barony of Penwortham, by the feoffment of Richard Bussel to Alan, son of Swain, father of the said William, as it is recorded in the Testa de NevilL II, fol. 816, in these words : — " Kicardus Bussel dedit Alano filio Swani in maritagio cum sorore sua iiij carucatas terra* et dimidiam in Gunnolvesmores." His descendants afterwards released their interest in these estates to Adam de Hoghton. (Dodsworth's MS. GXLII, ff. 17b., 19b., 21).
Ughtrkd, son of Swaix, has not been identified.
Arthur de Ashton held one carucate of land in Ash ton, Tulketh, and Ingol, near Preston, an escheated estate of William Peverel's, which John, Count of Mortain, regranted and confirmed to the said Arthur, between the years 1189 and 1194.
Swain de Penwortham and Adam his brother were probably of Freckle- ton, where Richard, son of .Roger de Freckleton (then under age), held a knight's fee in 1212.
SiBiLtiA and Matilda, sib ters of Kichard Bussel, were probably unmarried at the date of this charter. They were most likely the two sisters who were afterwards married by their brother to Kobert Hikeling and Bichard Spileman. (Testa de Neuill, H., fol. 816).

NOTES.
This is the earliest charter which has been found relating to the gift of the hamlet of Kersall to the Abbey of Lenton. There has been some uncertainty as to whether King Stephen or Earl Kanulf was the domr, but as this charter is certainly a deed of gift in frankalmoign and not a Con- firmation, the latter supposition appears to be the more probable of the two. The gift was made with the object of establishing a place for the worship of God, and included the right of pasturage in Broughton belonging to this hamlet. The Earl also granted to the monks the liberty of enlarging their property by making riddings (assarts) in the wastes, and fisheries in the Irwell, or by any other means whereby their estate might be amplified and benefitted. Broughton was a member of the demesne of the Honor, consequently Kersall with its villeins passed directly into the hands of the monks of Lenton, who even at the time of the Dissolution had a considerable demesne here.
The date of this charter clearly corresponds with that of Series I, Nos. VII and VIII, all of which Cadwalladr attested as " King of Wales," a title explained in the notes to those charters. Maud, Countess of Chester was a daughter of Robert, Earl of Gloucester ; Fitz Alan and Corbet have been noticed ; .Robert the Dapifer or Seneschal occurs as early as circa 1120 in a Bassett charter preserved in Staffordshire Historical Collections, Vol. Ill, p. 187 ; Richard le Boteler afterwards succeeded to the Barony of Warrington ; Henry Purcel, a retainer of Eari Ranulfs ; William the chaplain, who probably wrote the charter.
Among the various benefactors to the Abbey of Lenton we notice — Hugli Buron, and his son Hugh Meschine, who gave a moiety of the church of Cotgrave, co. Notts ; Richard Bussel, Baron of Penwortham, who gave the church of Broughton in co. Leicester, parcel of the Honor of Lancaster ; Matthew son of Matthew de Haversage, lord of Withington, who gave his manors of Holme and Duston, near Chesterfield.1

NOTES.
The date «>f Henry Us confirmation is approximately fixed by the lnoality at which it was expedited. The king was at Porcheater about July August, 117 1, immediately before his embarkation for Normandy, wheiv he spent the following nine months. He was probably there again in the Spring of 1176. Jialph lit/. Bernard commenced his Shrievalty of Ijiiiieaster about Easter, 1171, ami continued in office for eleven yeaiw. The date U pnihably 1 171-1 17b', as there is no evidence that the King visited I\»rchej4er again.
King John refei's to this confirmation in his charter confirming the Hermitage of Kcrshal to the Monks of Lenton, which bears date the 2nd April, 1200. The following is a translation of the latter charter so far as it relates to Kerwill. "John, by the grace of God, King of England &e. . . . We also grant and by this ear charter confirm to the same iiionk> of Lenton for our own and our heir.*' welfare, and for the souls of Kinir Henry our father, and King Henry our grandfather and our ancestors, the Hermitage of Kcrshal with all its appurtenances in free, pure, and perpetual alms.

NOTES.
This is a grant of land in Audenshaw, in the pariah of Ashton-under- Lyne by one Matthew son of Edith to the monks of Kersall, within bounds described as follows — " From the syke which runs down between the ridding of William son of Gamel and Chetel's Croft, going up the same to the moss, from thence across to the mickle ditch, from thence going up to the moss and from the moss across to Osuel's leach, from thence descending to Green brook and from Green brook descending to the syke which runs down between the ridding of William son of Ganiel and Chetel's croft." None of these boundaries can be identified to-day, and therefore the locality of the land cannot be ascertained. The witnesses were Roger de Middleton, lord of Middleton ; Alexander de Pilkington, lord of the same ; Robert de Byron, lord of Clayton ; Ellis de Pendlebury, lord of the same ; Henry de Chetham, lord of the same ; and Ralph de Moston.
The date lies between 1190 and 1212.
1 In another MS. (Towneley's MS. " By.'\ No. 80, S.D.), " Infia has divisas, scilicet a iica qua; cadit inter assartum Willelmi filii Gamel et Ketellescroft, ascen- dendo illain sicam usque Aldwynshay, ct deinde ascendendo usquo ad magnum fossatum, et deinde extransverso usque ad niQSsam, ct deindo descendendo usquo ad Gorebroke, et sic descendendo in Ecntelee, et sic descendendo in Ketilbrokc." Which is thus translated — "The devisez of Willm dede Hopsan (sic) beginning at the sich y! is betweene the land of Gamell and Cetilliscroft, goeing up after the ditch to Aldwynshawe, and fro Aldwjnshawe into the Mikell ditch, and fro the Mikell ditch into y' mosse, and fro je mosse into Cetill [broke]."

NOTES.
The date of this composition is ascertained by the fact that Eustace, who was Bishop of Ely from 10th August, 1197 (consecrated 8th March, 1198), until 4th February, 1215, and Richard Barre, who was Archdeacon of Ely from 1191 until early in the reign of King John, were arbitrators in the dispute which had arisen between Albert de Nevill, Rector of Manchester, and the Prior and monks of Lenton, of whose house the hermitage of Kersall was a filiation. This dispute had arisen from the infringement of the rights of the mother church of Manchester by the monks of Kersall, in exercising the right of sepulture, and receiving oblations, and withdrawing tithes which rightly belonged to Manchester. The terms of the agreement were as follows :— The monks of Kersall undertook to make a yearly gift on the feast of the Assumption of two candles, each of 1$ lb. of wax, in return for a release of the right of sepulture of the mother church over the monks and their men, and they

NOTES.
The date of this charter lies between 1240 and 1259, probably nearer the earlier date. As but few documents relating to Kersall are known to exist, it has been included in this collection notwithstanding the date. The land which Prior Hugh granted to Robert le Rous was evidently part of the tract in Audenshaw given to Lenton by Matthew son of Edith (No. III). The bounds are thus described: — "From the place where Bentley brook falls into Gorbrook, by Gorbrook up to Gordean-head and so across to the moss, from thence going down into Osel-leach, and by the same back to Gorbrook." Robert le Rous undertook not to assign this land to any great or powerful person, nor to religious men, nor Jews. His yearly service was half a mark, due upon the feast of St. Oswald the king, and he swore upon the sacred elements to observe fealty to the house of Lenton and monks of Kersall, as regards this yearly form, and in other matters. "Which ceremony his heirs were likewise to observe after him. Further he gave his body to the monks of Kersall for burial there, and a third part of his goods at his death, notwithstanding the rights of the mother church of Ashton. The witnesses were Sir Geoffrey de Chetham, who was knighted before 1235, Richard de Trafford, Robert de Byron of Clayton, Robert de Shoresworth, William de Heaton of Great Heaton, Kalph de Ancoats, Hugh de Haselham, and William de Droylsden.

NOTES.
Tlie Leper Hospital of St. Mary Magdalene of Preston occupied a site close to Tulketh Hall. There is some probability that the founder was Stephen, ('mint of Mortain, afterwai'ds King of England, and tliat the date of the foundation was in or soon after 1127, when the monks of Savigny removed from their house at Tulketh to their new poHHessions in Fumes*. (See Series IV'., No. I.) The above letters of protection contain the first reference to this Hospital that has been found.
This charter was expedited at Garsington, in Oxfordshire, but the year cannot be stated with certainty as there is no record of t lie king having visited that place between J 177-1188. Alnmt the -1th June, 1177, the king, at Winchester, appointed linger, a Knight-Templar, to be his Almoner. The king was in the north of England se\eral times during the years 1178 11 8f>. It is therefore probable that this charter was executed during that period, after his return from one of these visits.

NOTES.
In the hitter part of th*^ reign of Henry II, a number of Cistercian monks from Kuriicss Abliey removed into Wyreadale, and there founded an Abbey, as m filiation of Kurness. The site of this Abliey is unknown, as also the donor of the land upon which it was established. In the account of the various foundations which emanated from Finn ess, the Coucher (Vol. I, ful. lb) states:- "Abbatia de Wethneya piimo fundata fuissct in

Wyresdale, sed ipsa fundatione retracta, radices fixit in Hybernia, ubi raodo .cpDstructa est,, et de Furnesio exivit." This refers to Wotheney Abbey, co. Limerick. Charter No. Ill of this Series shows that the foundation at Wotheney was due to the munificence of Theobald Walter, who is said to have been created Chief Butler of Ireland by Henry II in 1177, when he 'attended that sovereign upon his Irish expedition. He also attended John, Count of Mortain, in the expedition of 1185, and was the leader of the English at Cork, when Dermot, King of Cork, was slain.1 He was after- wards possessed of the Baronies of Upper and Lower Ormonde, and other estates in co. Limerick. In 1194, no doubt in consideration of his services "to King Richard, in quelling the rebellion of John, then Count of Mortain, under whom he held the fee of Weeton, the King gave him the whole •Hundred of Amounderness (see page 81). Immediately afterwards he presented the abbot and monks of Wyresdale to the church of St. Michael- on-Wyre, and William de Chimelli, Archdeacon of Richmond, by the above charter granted it to them with its appurtenances, to appropriate to their own use, on condition that they discharged the episcopal claims, and assigned a vicarage in the church, with suitable provision for the support and vesture of the vicar.
This was witnessed by Hubert, brother of Theobald, who had been created Archbishop of Canterbury .in 1193; Hugh de Novant, Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, who died 27th April, 1198; Theolrald Walter himself ; Ranulf, Treasurer of Salisbury, then or soon after Parson of the church of Wigan ; Gilbert de Kentwell, a Norfolk baron, and also a military tenant of the Honor of Lancaster in Thurston, co. Suffolk ; and Simon of the Chamber.

NOTES.
In accordance with the conditions of the Archdeacon's grant of the church of St. Michael-on-Wyre, the Abbot and monks of Wyresdale shortly afterwards made the following agreement with H. the chaplain. That he should be the monks' chaplain in tliat church for life, or should find at his own charges another competent chaplain, who should first do fealty to the Abbot and monks. For this service they granted to him the land on the eastern side of the church, and the fishery belonging thereto, and the fishing from the bridge eastward, and the land from the church extending east- ward ; and half a mark of silver yearly for his vicarage and for his faithful service, to wit, forty pence at St. Michael, and the same at Easter. They declared their intention to appoint a clerk to serve the church with the said chaplain, and to place whom they chose in the same, to collect all oblations, obventions, tenths and other ecclesiastical emoluments, together with the bequests of the dying, and altarage. They also stipulated that the said chaplain should pay tithe of his corn, fish, cattle, and other moveable goods, which he might possess within that parish. And so long as they possessed that benefice, they undertook to warrant to him the said land on the eastern side of the church. They also reserved to themselves the right to erect a mill in any portion of that land, without the chaplain having any power to claim right of multure.
The Abbot and monks promised truthfully to keep this covenant, and H. the chaplain swore upon the altar in the church of St. Mary of Lancaster, before the chapter of I ian caster, to faithfully observe the same in all things, and for greater security he found the following sureties, both clerics and laymen — Adam, Dean of Lancaster ; Benedict Gernet, perhaps parson of Halton ; Roger, parson of Heversham, who witnessed a contemporary charter of Henry, son of Norman de Redman, lord of Levens ; Robert, parson of Garstang, who occurs as a witness to a charter to Furness about this time ; Alexander, parson of Clapham ; Richard, parson of Poulton, who witnessed a charter of William, son of Richard de Bispham to Cockersand Abbey ; Adam, parson of Burton in Lonsdale, who witnessed a contemporary charter respecting the church of Garstang (Cockersand Chartulary, p. 335) ; Benedict, chaplain of Tatham, who recovered twenty acres of land in Tatham against William, son of Archil of Stackhouse, in the year 1202 ; Robert, son of Bernard, probably of Goosnargh ; Master W. de Garstaug and Paulyn de Garstang, wjio held lands in Garstang, the former perhaps a clerk connected with the manorial court of the fee of Garstang, of which H el wise de

The witnesses were- Ralph Fietham, abbot of Furness ; Thomas, the first recorded abbot of Cockersand, then called the abbey of the marsh (fie marisco) ; William, prior of Lancaster ; 1)., prior of Cartmel, who was the predecessor of William, prior in or before a.d. 1199; and R. the first recorded prior of Conishead.
The date of this charter is clearly subsequent to that of No. I. It is also before 1199, as William was prior of Cartmel iu or before that year.

NOTES.
Although it is said that Wotheney Abbey was founded in the year 1188, the preceding charters prove that the monks of Wyresdale did not remove thither until certainly after 1195. Theobald Walter wan buried there in 120G. Wotheney appears to have been a cant red in the parish of Abington, co. Limerick. The above letter certifies that Theobald's charter, to the monks who removed from Furness, of land granted in frankalmoign iu the cantred of Wotheiiey-Tathelan, or Wotheney-Fernan, was the first of any of the deeds of gift which he had made of lands there. The probability is that the colony of monks in Wyresdale removed to Wotheney circa 1198, or between 1195 and 1199.

NOTES.
Cartmel is not mentioned in Domesday nor any of its townships, unless one of the two "cherc-nebi" mentioned on fol. 301, col. 2, refers to it, and the other to Kirkby in Kendal. In 1100, Cartmel being ]>arcel of the royal demesne rendered 2£ marks to the Aid to marry King Henry II.'s eldest daughter Matilda (page 13). About Christmas, 1185, the King granted it to William Marshall, the whole district being rated at nine teamlands or carucates, which had been farmed by the Sheriff for £32 yearly, which he accounted for in the Corpus Comitates at each Michaelmas audit at the Exchequer (p. 09). According to Dugdale (ride Monasticon, Vol. VI., p. 454), William Mai-shall founded the Priory here in the year 1188, a date which seems to be a few years too early judging by the evidence of this charter. In the Testa de A'evill (Vol. II., f. 835) in the Inquest of co. Lancaster of a.d. 1212, it is recorded that "the lord King gave Kertmel to William Marescall, and lie gave it to the canons of Bradenstoke in alms, to wit, nine carucates of land, whereof they have the charter of the said William, and the confirmation of the lord King [John] and his ancestors." From this it appears that Marshall brought a colony of Black Canons from the Priory of Bradenstoke, in co. Wilts., and settled them here, granting to God, and his most blessed mother Mary, and to the said canons his whole land of Kertmel with all the appwtenauces, "for the welfare of the soul of

King Henry II, and for the soul of King Henry the younger, my lord, and for the soul of King Richard, for my own soul, and the soul of Isabel, me wife." The said Prince Henry, whom he calls his lord, died of dysentery at Martel, a village between Brives and Cahors, on the 11th June, 1183. William Marshall was in attendance upon him at the time of his death. The grant also included the church of Cartmel and all its chapels, and contains a long recital of the liberties, emoluments, and advantages com- prised therein. He also declared a special provision touching the appoint- ment of Prior, as follows. " I will and appoint that the said house and canons shall select two canons and present them to me, William Marescall their patron, or to my heirs, so that he whom our joint sense shall choose, shall be made Prior, and whoever shall be appointed Prior there shall for ever have the office and name of Prior only, so that no abbey shall ever be made of that priory. And this house I have founded for the increase of holy religion, giving and granting thereto whatsoever liberty the mouth can speak, or the heart of man desire."
The witnesses were William, Earl of Salisbury ; John the grantor's brother, who held the manor of Hampstead Marshal, co. Berks., with the office of Marshal of the King's Court attached thereto, which upon his death in March, 1194, devolved upon his said brother William ; Geoffrey fitz Piers, Chamberlain to Henry II ; Robert de Berkeley ; Geoffrey fitz Robert ; Richard de Mucegros ; Ralph Bloet ; Philip de Prendergast ; John de Erley ; William de St. Leger ; Nicholas Avenell ; Richard de Stutecumb ; William Walleran ; Philip de Salisbury ; Roger the chaplain ; Joceline, Michael, and Pentecost, clerks, and others. Many of these were Wiltshire and Dorsetshire men, and some connected with the Honor of Strigul. William Marshall having married, as is well known, Isabel de Clare, the heiress of Pembroke, in August, 1189 (whose marriage he liad received from Henry II), was probably considered Earl of Strigul, or Pembroke jure uxorU, by virtue of which it is said that he was bearer of the sceptre with the cross at the first coronation of Richard I, 3rd September, 1189 {vide " The Complete Peerage " by G. E. C, Vol. VI., p. 198).
The date evidently lies between the accession of King Richard in 1189, and the death of John Marshall, the grantor's brother in March, 1 194, but probably it was early in 1190.

NOTES.
The confirmation of Cartinel, i.e., the whole district comprised within the IKiriuh of Cartmel, to William Marshall by John, Count of Mortain, would probably follow immediately upon King Henry's grant to the latter of the Honor of Lancaster, about Midsummer 1189 (page 73). In this document the service to be done to Count John is stated to be homage and the service of one knight's fee for all services and customs. It is to be noted that in the subsequent continuation he again reserves this service, but after the forfeiture of the Houor in 1194, no more is heard of this service.
The witnesses were Stephen Ridel, Count John's Chancellor, Robert de Brutuuil, Hamon de Valoines, Hugh de Malaunay (de malo alneto), "William de Mortimer, Theobald Walter, William de Bussei, Fulk de Cantelou (de anUiliijto), Robert de Trublevill, Master Alard, Robert le Rous, and Master Peter de Littlebury, at Canterbury. These were almost all officials or members of Count John's retinue.

The form of this confirmation is somewhat unusual. "John, Count of Mortain, to all his friends and freemen, French and English, greeting. Know that I have granted, and by my present charter confirmed, for the health of my soul, and the souls of my ancestors, that William Marshall may establish a house of religion of any kind he likes in the land of Cartmel, and that he, William, may give to tliat house [and to those] who shall serve God there, Cartmel, with all its appurtenances, in perpetual alms, for the health of his soul and the souls of his ancestors, as freely and fully in all things as I myself grauted, and by my charter confirmed it to the same William."
Witnesses, Stephen Ridel, the Count's Chancellor, William Avenell, Roger de Amundevifle, William de Turbeville, and Ralph de Ardern. The date would be shortly after that of No. I, probably in 1190.

NOTES.
Roger, son of Ravenkil and his supposed father Ravenkil, son of Raghnald, have been noticed already as Thanes of Wood-plumpton, in Amounderness. The former is mentioned in the Pipe Roll of 31 Henry I (page 1), and again in that of 16 Henry II (page 16). Apparently he died shortly before the 22 Henry II, in which year his son Richard, the founder of the Priory, proffered 5 marks to the Justices for an inquiry touching Kirkby, which had been taken into the King's hands, because he had
348 THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY.
married his eldest daughter without the King's licence. He held Kirkby of the Constable of Chester, it is believed in right of his wife Margaret, daughter and co-heir of Thurstan Banastre, younger brother of Robert Banastre of Prestatyn (pages 32 and 43). He died between Mich. 1200, and the same feast in 1201, when Rol>ert de Stockport proftercd 200 marks and 5 palfreys to have his land, and a further 100*. and a palfrey to liave the King's confirmation of the charter respecting Lytham, which the King as Count of Mortain had granted to the said Richard (jKiges 130 and 137). The charter referred to, passed at Long Marton, 26th Feb., 1201, and in it the King confirmed the grant which he had made when Count of Mortain, to Richard son of Roger touching two carucates of land which he had in Lidhum, to be bestowed upon religious men, and the remission of the service of that land. {Charter Itoll, 2 John, m. 10.) In the Inquest of co. Lane;ister made in 1212, we read "the heirs of Richard son of Roger hold 9 carucates of land in thanage, for which they used to render yearly three marks. The lord King by his charter released to the house of Lithum 8*. 8c/." yearly service. {Testa de Xevill, Vol. II., f. 819.)
Of the foundation charter itself, an abstract in English will not bo superfluous. "Richard son of Roger to all men French and English, &c, sends greeting. Know that I have granted in frankalmoign, with the consent of Margaret, my wife, and my heirs, for the health of the soul of my lord, Count John [of Mortain], and for the souls of my father, and mother, my own soul and the souls of my heirs, to God, St. Mary, and St. Cuthbert and the monks of Durham, all my land of Lythum, with the church of that town, and all things appurtenant to that church, for the establishment there of a house of their order, within these bounds, to wit from the ditch on the western side of the burial yard of Kilgriniol (now ]>art of St. Anne's-on-the-Sea), above which I have erected a cross, westward unto the sea ; and again from that ditch and cross, over to wards the east along by the Cursidmere, over the great moss and the stream unto Balholm (now Ballam), which said stream runs towards Suinebrigg (now Bowgrave Bridge /) ; Jigain from Balholm in a straight line over the moss, which lord Jolin, Count of Moreton, divided between himself and me, unto the northern side of Estholni-ker (now Eastham), following eastward unto the margin of the water which comes from Bircholm, and separates Estholm-ker and Brining-ker (/.<?., between Eastham and Bryning), following that division of water between us southward unto the ford (/) l>etween Estholme and Couburgh, thence returning towards the west, and fetching a compass southward over the moss into the Pull beyond Snart's-alte where it falls upon the sea shore, and so going towards the south across unto the Ribill at the mid-stream, following the mid-stream {filum) of that water west- ward unto the sea, and so to the aforesaid ditch and cross ; and all the marsh between the said bounds with the eyes (or holmes) which are therein. Wherefore I will that the monks have and hold, and for ever possess in their own demesne this grant of all my land of Lythum, with all the appurtenances as well in lands cultivated as uncultivated, in wood and plain, in meadows and j>astures, moors, mosses and marshes, waters and mills, millpools and fisheries, in the sands when the tide has ebbed, together with all the emoluments which may be in any wise derived

therefrom, with entries and exits, and all other liberties, easements, rights and dues belonging to that land ; and also the church of the same town with its appurtenances, as freely and fully as any other alms within the Archbishopric of York may be had and possessed by any religious men. And I will and by this my charter confirm that the Prior and monks of Durham shall remove and establish Priors and monks there to serve God, the blessed Mary, and St. Cuthbert. With warranty against all, both men and women. But if any of my heirs or others shall in anywise presume to contravene this my gift, may he incur the anger of God, the blessed Mary and the glorious confessor St. Cuthbert, and be subject to their vengeance."
The witnesses to the grant were very numerous. Simon, who was probably the chamberlain of the Bishop of Durham, Master Richard de Coldingham, Master Henry de Durham, Hugh de Ferte, Master Walter, Dean of Pittington, Master Walter de Haddington, Master Robert de Edington, Master Walter de Durham, who were all clergy of the diocese of Durham. Robert de Stockport and William de Mullum, husbands of two of the grantor's daughters ; Robert, son of Henry, lord of Lathom ; Richard, son of Robert, his eldest son and heir ; William, son of Swain of Carleton and Marton ; Adam, dean of Kirkham ; Richard, clerk of Kirk- Poulton or Poulton-le-Fylde. The others were all Durham men, connected with the estates of the Bishop and Prior.
The date of the foundation and of the above charter was undoubtedly during the time that John, Count of Mortain, was lord of Lancaster, i.e., 1189 to 1194, probably nearer the first-mentioned year.

NOTES.
The early descents of the Lathoms of Lathom have been elaborated by the late George Ornierod in his Parentalia, p. 63, and the results generally appear to be justified by the evidence which he quotes from the Inquest of co. Lancaster, made in the year 1212 (Testa cfe Nevffl). The essay is however, unfortunately marred by an ill-considered attempt (page 65) to prove that the wife of Robert, son of Henry, the founder, was the heiress, or coheiress of Orm, son of Ailward, the original grantee from the Grelleys, of Ashton-under-Lyne, and Dalton, Parbold and Wrightington. Upon this more will be said hereafter. Another unsatisfactory statement (page 66) is that in which Mr. Ormerod assumes that the Lathoms derived Ormskirk from Orm, son of Magnus, whose wife Aliz was the sister of Hervey Walter, lord of Weeton, or Witheton, in Amounderness. As the estates with which this marriage was endowed reverted to the chief lords, the Butlers of Ireland (Testa de Nevill, Vol. II., ff. 818, 790) it seems much safer to assume that the heirs begotten of this union died without issue. (See Series V, No. IV, Notes.) It is a generally recognised fact that a church and parish exist- ing in the twelfth century were of Saxon or pre-conquest foundation. The tradition, if such ever existed, that Ormskirk was founded by, and derived its name from the above-mentioned Orm, is the wild invention of a credulous and uncritical mind, and can only be perpetuated by such.
Robert, son of Henry, the founder of Burscough Priory, appears to be named in the Pipe Roll of 15 Henry II., 1168-9 (p. 12), as having contributed 10 marks to the aid granted in 1166 to marry Matilda, the King's eldest daughter. He married firstly before the year 1178, a lady whose name has not been preserved, and secondly ■, Aniabil, daughter of Simon, who survived him, and was suing her stepson Richard, son of Robert de Lathom, for her dower, in the King's Court, about Midsummer, 1199. By line made 29th Oct., 1199, she obtained Knowsley and Anlezargh for term of her life.
The Testa de Nevill thus refers to this foundation. " The said Robert . . . made a certain house of religion, to wit Burescoch, and gave one carucate of land to the said house in alms." (Vol. II., f. 812.) The carucate of land was the township of Marton. The following is an abstract of the charter.
" Be it known to all the sons of holy mother church, present and to come, that I, Robert, son of Henry, by the consent of my heir have given, &c, in frankalmoign, to God and the church of the blessed Nicholas of Burscough, and the canons there by rule serving God, that land which is at the head of Burscogh, along the boundary of the land of Stephen the Bald unto Egacres, between tho high road of Wirplesmos (? near Cross Hall) and the stream of Egacres unto the boundary between Ormeschirche (Ormskirk) and Brakenes-thweit (Brackenthwaite), and so unto Scarth (Scarth Hill) and from Scarth unto Westheft (Westhead) and to the brook of Scakeresdale- hefd (Scath-acres-dale-head ?), and so by the brook (Castle brook or Park brook) unto the ford which leads from Alton (Dalton) to Urlton (Harlton, oli/a Hurleton), and from that fold across to the boundary between Geoffrey Travers and Stephen the Bald, and the whole underwood of Grittebi (Greetby) with the riddings which lie around it, to wit, the land of Robert

the Carpenter, with Rrakenestweit, and land of Richard, younger son of Robert and Amabil his wife, together with the land of Matthew son of Baldwin, I have also given them the whole town of Merton (a lost township, through which Martin lane passes, now involved in Burscough), with all its appurtenances, in wood and plain, meadows and feeding grounds, with Tharlescogh (Tarlscough) and all other easements. I also grant that they may have their court with all the lil>erties which I myself have. I have also given them the church of Onneschirche, and the church of Huton (Huyton), and the church of Flixton, with all their appurtenances. I have also granted for the requirements of the said canons, my mill of Lathum and all the mills of my demesne lands, both those which may be, and those which liave been made. And I grant to the canons and their men a share of the issues of the eatage and pmnage of all my underwoods. Also I have given them the place of St. Leonard of Cnusleie (Knowsley) with its appurtenances, and I grant to the canons and their men firewood in all my underwoods except Burgechou. I give these alms, free from all dues, pleas, or disturb- ance, and defended by myself and my heirs against forinsec service to our lords, for the souls of King Henry the elder (i>., the Second), and his Queen, King Henry the younger (/.e., Prince Henry), and John, Count of Mortune, and for my own, and my wife's soul, and for the souls of my father, mother, ancestors and successors. Whosoever shall increase or maintain this my gift, may he, by participation of the benefits of that church, win the heavenly kingdoms, but whosoever shall in any wise injure, or attempt to despoil it, may he suffer eternal torments with the devil and his angels, unless he repent and make full amendment."
Witnesses — Robert, Archdeacon of Chester, who held that office from 1149 to 1192; Henry, Prior of Norton (1178-1100); Peter, chaplain of Bury; William, chaplain of St. Leonard, of Knowsley ; Patrick, [parson] of Prestcote ; Richard, son of Henry, ancestor of the Torbock family, and brother of the grantor ; Richard le Waleys, lord of Aughton, and Up Lither- land ; Henry Travels, a free tenant in Lathoni ; Robert, son of Richard, and Richard his brother, probably sons of Richard de Torbock ; Henry de Radelifte, ancestor of the Radcliffes of RidcliiFe ; and Gilbert, son of Waldeve, of Walton, near West Derby, master Serjeant of the Wapentake of West Derbv.
As legards the date of this charter, the dedication of the gift for the health of the soul, amongst others, of Count John, points to the Honor of Lancaster as having been then bestowed upon the Count, while the omission of King Richard's name points to a date before that monarch's accession to the Crown. These limits if reliable would give a date between Midsummer and September, llHf). In any ease the presence of Gilbert, son of Waldeve, fixes the date before* Michaelmas, HOG, when his heir fined for his relief (]>age 90). Rut again, the presence of Henry, Prior of Norton, makes the year 11 1)0 a more probable limit. The latter's presence, coupled with the fact that the grantor held Knowsley and its members of the Constable of Chester, suggests that the canons established at Rurscough came from Norton, co. Chester, a house of August in ian canons, of the same order as this new foundation.

In tlu» Inquest of en. Lancaster, made 1212, we read : "The same Albert [Uredlc, senior] gave to Henry, son of Si ward, one carueateof land in FJixton by [the yearly service of] 10*." The heirs hold that land." (Vol. H.,fol. 823.) This represented only a moiety of the township, but included the church. The other moiety was held in chief by the elder line of 11 niton of Hulton.
By the aliove charter, Roger, son of Henry, a younger brother, as I suppose, of Richard de Torbock, and Ileury, son of Bernard, perhajw his nephew, of Parbold, " inspired by affection, gave to Henry, son of Richard de Torbock, clerk, the church of Flixton with its appurtenances and possce- pioiiH, to hold in pure alms for the term of his life." The witnesses were R[ol>ert tie Denton], abbot of Furness ; the priors of Cartinel and Lancaster ; Master Richard de Marcys, clerk in the Chancery, and Bishop of Durham in 1217 ; Ttoliert de Walton, parson [of Walton, near West Derby] ; Patrick de Prestt'ote [parson of the same] ; Gilbert fitz Reinfred, who was Sheriff of Jjaut-aster for fi(»me years from Easter, 120f> ; William le Boteler of Warring- on ; Richard, son of Rolicrt, lord of Lathom ; Roger de Middlcton, of Middle- ton in Salfordshire ; Alexander de Pilkington of the same; Hugh le Norreys of Blackrod ; William Rlundell of Ince Blundell, and others.

NOTES.
The presentation made in the last charter appears to have l)een opposed by the Prior of Burscough, to whom the church of Flixton had been given by Robert, son of Henry de Lathom as part of the original endowment of the Priory. It is not easy to fathom the intricacies of title caused by the com- plicated sub-infeudati< ns of early times, but one thing is clear, that the dispute between the Prior and those who claimed the right to next presenta- tion had been taken into the King's Court, with the result that a precept had been issued directing the Sheriff to summon a jury of grand astize to view the premises, and to return their finding or verdict. The above is the letter or certificate which was directed to the Bishop as a result of the judgment of the King's Court upon the verdict of the recognitoi-s. It reads as follows : —

To whom by right of inheritance, linger, son of Henry, and Henry, son of Bernard, succeed, to whom the right of patronage of that church belongs, who also as the true pat ions are presenting to the church of Klixton, which is void, Henry, son of Richard, their clerk, and have pre- viously presented him before Master Richard [de Marreys], clerk of the lord King, and Philip de Orrebi, Justiciar of Chester, and Gilbert fitz Reinfrid, and before us. Wherefore we advisedly suggest to your excellency that for divine respect of love you will permit him to l>e admitted to their presentation, as according to the constitution of the Kingdom you ought to do. Kare well your highness. ;)
Geoffrey de Muschamp was consecrated Rishop of Coventry and Lichfield 21st June, 1 108. He died Gth OctoWr, 1208. The date of this letter there- fore lies between tho.se years. The recognitors or jurors were all important Lancashire men. Henry de Bury does not often occur, he may have been either father, or Younger brother of Adam, lord of Bur>* in 1212. Henrv. son of Si ward, who had last presented, was of course the father of the founder of Rurscough. His heirs, after the f < Hinders death, appear to have been the hitter's younger brother Roger, and iiossibly his nephew Henry, who seems to be the Henry, son of Bernard, lord of Rarbold, who made numerous grants to the Priory. The clerk whom they presented was undoubtedly Henry, a voun<rcr son of Richard do Tarbock, for he afterwards, as Henrv de Tarbock. clerk, released all his rights in the church of Klixton to the Priory (/). of Z., Anc. Deeds, L. G17). The supposition that Henry, son of Bernard, was probably a cadet of the house of I>athom is strengthened by the occurrence among the witnesses to No. IT. of his father (?), Bernard, son of H., whose name I have ventured to extend as " Hcni"v.w

NOTES.
Some uncertainty exists as to the true founder of the Hospital of Conishead. In a Feodary of the Duchy of Lancaster, quoted by Dodsworth (MS., Vol. CXXXI, f. 1-84), it is stated that Gamel de Penyngton was the first founder in the time of Henry II. In the confirmation of Edward II, made in the 12th year of his reign, the King confirms to the canons of Conishead the gift which Gamell de Penygton made to the canons of the same place (j'.e., (Jouyngeslieved) "of the church of Penigton with the appurtenances, and the church of Molcastre (now Muncaster, co. Cumb.) with the chapels and all other appurtenances, and the church of Wytebec (now AVhitbeck, co. Cumb.) with the appurtenances, and the church of Sker-overton (now Orton, co. Westm.) with all the appurtenances, and Pultone with its rightful boundaries." The probability that he was the first founder is strengthened by the fact that Roger, Archbishop ' of York, who died in 1181, confirmed the churches of Pennington, Muncaster, and Whitbeck to the bretluen of the Hospital of Conishead, thus fixing the date of the

foundation sometime before that year. (See No. IV.) Pultone was Poulton in Jjonsdale, which John, Prior of this house, released to William de Paries by tine levied at Lancaster in 1235 (Lam:. Filial Concord*, p. G3). 15cnet, son of the said (iamel, afterwards confirmed the gift of the church of Muncaster. (See No. III.) l>y others the foundation of this house has been attributed to William de I*iucaster II, who was lord, or reputed baron of Kendal from 1170 to J 184. lie richly endowed this house with lands in Ulverston, as appears from the documents comprised in this series, but it is quite possible that the first jxirt of ( 'barter No. I. is really a confirmation by the chief lord of GameFs original gift. The estate therein described adjoins the township of Pennington, and the dedication clause seems to refer to the. canons as being already established in their house of Uonvngesheved. It is unfortunate that the originals of these grants have not been found, nor any Chartulary of the Priory, so that uncertainty upon this point is likely to continue. It 1ms even been necessary, in order to present to the reader the form of these gifts, to attempt a reconstruction of the originals from the abbreviated forms preserved in the Confirmation of Edward II. The interest which attaches to the reconls of the foundation of this house must be a sufficient excuse for the liberty which has been taken.
In the above grant, a 4 given in the Patent Roll of 12 Edward II, William de Lancaster II gives to Ci»k1 and St. Mary and the house of Conynge.sheved (now Conishcad), and to the brethren dwelling there the whole of Uonvngesheved with all the land belonging to the said house, namely, on either side of the road which leads from Berdesey (Hardsey) and extends towards Ulverston, and from the KiDg's highway (Ijetweeu Ulverston and Dal ton) unto Tnmdekcld (now Trinkeld), and thence to the sea shore ; 'and the church of Ulverston with its chapels and all appurtenances (which would probably include ITawkshead chapel, see No. IV.), and forty acres of land in the town-Held of Ulverston near the said brethren's land, and a salt pit between the house of ( onyngesheved and Ulverstone-pule (now ( -arterpool), and turves out of the grantor's turbary sufficient for the use of the said house and the working of the salt pit, and ]>asturage. and dead wood (for fuel) from beyond the Lauud of Plunibton, and building material out of his woodlands in Kornays (Kurness), and all necessaries to suffice for the requirements of that house, and common of pasture belonging to his land of Ulverston, and common right in all easements there. He also granted that the said brethren should be quit of the pannage of all their pigs throughout all his underwoods of Fornays (i.e., that their pigs should feed upon the mast within his woods, free from payment of the usual charge for that liberty).
The date of this charter was before 1184, in which year the grantor died. Probably it lay between 1 180 ami 1184.
1 From this point the charter undoubtedly expresses a grunt of land and tenements, parcel of the Ulverston demesne, and not a confirmation of a previous grant of laud* held under de Lancaster bv service.

the boundary. Apparently it commenced at a point to the east of Gascow, where the moss and haitl land met, and followed a ridge of ground in a straight line to some mark on the west, from thence it followed a road, ditch, or other feature back to the boundary of the canons' land, enclosing the estate of Gascow. The grantor also gave them common of pasture in all his feeding grounds and pastures in the territory of the town of Ulverston, to common with all manner of beasts at all times of the year, and common right and dead wood for fuel in four hundred acres of land within the enclosure or Park of Plmiiton, and turves from his turbary in Plum ton as much as they might require for the use of their house of Conyngesheved, and for their salt pits.
The estate of Gascow lies between the original estate of (Jonishead, and a third addition to those estates, described in a charter of William de Lancaster III. (1220-1246) in which he granted to this house, which had then attained to the degree of a Priory, all his land within these bounds, " beginning at the sea shore where the King's highway leaves Leven sands, following that road to the high road which runs from Swenebroc towards Ulverston, along that road unto the head of Garthscohlac (Gascow leach), so descending by Garthscohlac to the highway which runs from ( -unyngesheved to Ulverston, following the same road unto the head of the arable land towards Ulverston, so following around Garthseoh between the hard land and the wet unto the moss, and so going down by the moss unto the brook which runs down from Garthscoh, following the same unto Ulverston, and so going down by Ulverston-pul to the sea shore aforesaid, and so across by the shore unto the said raid where it leaves the shore, and so from the shore at their salt pits as aforesaid." These boundaries appear to enclose a con- siderable extent of ground lying to the N.E. of Gascow, known at the present day as Oxen Holme, and bringing the possessions of the Priory close to the open fields of Ulverston.

" To all the sons of holy mother church, present and to come, Benet (Benedictus) de Wellington sends greeting. Know ye that I have granted and by this my charter confirmed — with the consent of Alan my heir — to the Hospital uf St. Mary of Cuningeshof, and the brethren of the same place, the church of Molecastre and chapel of St. Aldeburge, with all its appurtenances in pure and perpetual alms for the health of my soul, and of my wife Anneis (Anice) and of all our jwirents. This gift was made in the fat e of the whole chapter of Lancaster, with these witnesses, Master Theobald, vice -Archdeacon (of Richmond) ; Adam, dean (of Kirkham) ; Adam (parson) of Kirkebi-Lonesdale ; A chard, (parson) of Kirkebi-Kendale ; Daniel (parson) of Aldingham ; Roger (|)arson) of Kirkebi-Irlid (Irleth) ; Robert (parson) of Ulfestun ; William (parson) of Wartuii ; Robert (parson) of Prestun ; Roger (parson) of Heueresheim (Heversham) ; Ralph (parson) of Hesheim (Heysliam) ; and Robert (parson) of Gairstang."
It may be asked upon what grounds all these persons are called " ])arson " of the places named. The answer is, that not unfrequently the names of clergy appear, in attesting charters of this period, without the addition in a single instance of the title of parson or clerk. In this case the charter says that it was executed " in the face of the whole chapter of Lancaster," consequently many of the clergy present would have attested it. Moreover, Daniel of Aldingham, Robert of Preston in Amounderness, and Robert of Garstang, occur in contemporary charters as clergy of these respective churches. (See p. 338 ante.)
Benet, the grantor, was the eldest son of Gamel dc Pennington, the original donor to Conishead. The fact that he confirms his father's grant, with the consent of AJan his son and heir, points to the fact that Muucaster came to his father by marriage with an heiress of that place. William de Lancaster I. gave the town of Muncaster to Furness, as appears in Series IV, Charter No. III., but the monks of that place lost possession of the town during the troubles which characterized the reign of Stephen. To whom it afterwards passed, and how it came to Gamel de Pennington, does not appear. The date may be any time between 1180 and 1199, probably about 1190, as the Hospital had not yet attained to the degree of a Priory.

NOTES.
The position of the house of Conishead upon land over which its ]K>weiful neighbours, the monks of Furness, possessed the lordship, was one which was not likely to continue long without interference by the dominant home. In the hist years of the 12th century, this danger appeared in the form of a dispute touching the churches of Ulverston and Pennington, which the monks of Furness claimed as belonging to their church of Urswick, as also touching the site of the Priory uj>on land which was jwirt of the fee of the great Cistercian Abbey. At last, however, by the mediation of certain discreet persons of note, and by the advice of the abbot of Savigny, the head of that abbey, and other abbots of the Cistercian order, the monks of Furness having respect to the poverty of the canons of Conishead, and willing to suffer the settlement of the order of canons regular of St. Augustine which had taken root in that place, relinquished their claim to the said churches and granted that the said canons should convert them to their own use. On the other side T., the Prior and the canons of Conishead relinquished their claim to the chapel of Houkesete (Hawkshead) and the fishery of Depestal, and agreed that the number of their canons should never exceed thirteen, except by permission, that no woman of any degree wliatsoever should be admitted to dwell with them, and that they should not receive any gift of land within the . said monks' fee of Furness without their consent, except only of the land of Ulverston which Gilbert fitz Koger (titz Reinfred) and his tenants held, and of that not more than the third part, the due service of which should be surely rendered without fail to the house of Furness. Further that they would dwell together in brotherly love, giving each other counsel and aid in any matters

which might arise. Finally for the sake of peace the canons under* took to pay yearly to the monks of Farness r>0i., by equal instalments at Pentecost and St. Martin. This coni]>osition was witnessed by the following persons of note — The lord abbots II. of Savigny, William of Jervaux, Ben net of Stratford Langthorne, co. Essex ; David, of (.-alder ; William of Holland Bridge in Lincolnshire; Master llonori us, Archdeacon of Richmond; (iilbert, son of linger fitz Reinfred; Master John, Official of Richmond ; Roger, parson of Kirkby Irleth ; William the chaplain, vicar of Dalton in Furness ; Richard de Kent, clerk ; R. de Stiveton ; Akarias de Austwick, and many others both clergy and laymen.
From the occurrence of William, Abl>ot of Jervaux, who is known to have Wen ablntt in 1I!)H, and of llonori us, Archdeacon of Rich mond, who held that office for a few months in I1!)K, we seem to have reason to date thin agreement in that year. We know from L<\ Xevc* Fasti that the Dean of York protested against the appointment of llonori us, and King Richard granted the office to Roger de St. Edmund. In the Fine Roll of the first year of John about the 29th May, 1 1 051, we find the said Roger proffering to the King £100 for power to exercise his office of Archdeacon against Honorius (op. c/V., j). 2), but two years later Honorius came and made a larger offer, viz., 300 marks for the King's letters of protection, and for jx>wer to use hi* right over the Archdeaconry of Richmond (Ibid., p. !(>!)). In 120.") and 1208 he occurs in the Rolls as Archdeacon of Richmond. However, we appear to have in the document No. (VLXVII. of the Coueher of Furness (p. 437), a slightly different form of the above composition, mentioning the names of the same Abbots. Archdeacon Honorius, and Gilbert fitz Reinfred, and contain- ing the specific date 120H, so that one is driven to the conclusion that the agreement was made in that year. At that time the house of (Amushead could not long have attained to the degree of a Priory.

NOTES.
As a natural accompaniment to the composition last recorded, Master Honorius, Archdeacon of Richmond, confirms to the canons of Conishead the church of Ulverston, which the monks of Furness liad claimed as belonging to the church of Urswick, but had afterwards relinquished. This he did at the instance of Gilbert fitz Reinfred, who held the patronage of the said church, in right of Agnes his wife, only daughter and heir of William de Lancaster II., of whose estates the said Gill>ert had received seisin upon his marriage circa 1189. It is interesting to note that we have again reference to the contention of the monks of Furness, that Urswick was or had been the mother church of Ulverston and Pennington. Jt would appear that at some early period before the Conquest, Urswick had been the caput of almost the whole of the eastern half of Furness. The witnesses were the lord abbot of Furness ; William, prior of Cartniel, who occurs in a final concord made in 1208, touching a dispute about fishing in the estuary of the Kent with Ralph de Reetham ; A., prior of Cockerham ; Gilbert fitz Reinfred ; Master John, the official of Richmond ; Rfoger ? ] de Kirk by, Dean of Lancaster ; William, vicar of Dalton ; Henry de Redman of Levens, Seneschal of Kendal ; R. de Stiveton, and Richard de Kent, clerk.

"To all tlic faithful in Christ to whom these present letters shall conic, Master Ilonorius, Archdeacon of Itichmond, sends greeting in our Lord.

Christ, and cease not to minister unto him. Wherefore because it is comely to fervently support those who plentifully abound with the bowels of affection for Christ's poor, considering with pious love the conversation and devotion of our beloved brethren in Christ the canons of Conegesheved, and looking upon the footprints of Roger, Archbishop of York, of blessed memory, who confirmed to them for their own use the churches of Molecastre, and Whitebec, and Penington with the appurtenances, we have thought fit to grant and transfer to the said brethren those churches, for their own use for ever, for the maintenance of the hospitality of their house, Having in all wavs to us and to our successors the due and accustomed charges. Wherefore that this our grant may continue unchanged in time to come, we have thought well to confirm it by this present writing. With those witnesses, Master J. our official, Richard de Marreys, Roger (parson) of Kirkebi (Irluth), Adam de Kirkhain, then dean, William de Bidigdcn (parson), Daniel de Furness (|>arson of Aldingham), Ben net the chaplain, Anketel the clerk, and many others."
The reference to an earlier confirmation by Roger, Archbishop of York (1154-1181), of Gamel de Pennington's grant of the churches of Pennington, Muncaster, and Whitbeck to the Hospital of Conishead, is interesting as a proof that the foundation dates from before 1181, adding strength to the opinion that Gamel was the founder, and William de Lancaster II. a patron, and subsequently a benefactor of this house. It is interesting to note that a direct descendant of Gamel de Pennington, in the person of Baron Mun- caster of Muncaster Castle, occupies an honourable position as a public- spirited landowner, in the very district where his ancestor founded this Hospital of Augustinian canons to the glory of God, and in honour of his blessed mother the Virgin Mary, more than 700 years ago.

NOTKS.
Tin* story of this charter of Kin# Stephen to Ranulf, Earl of Chester is closely connected with the history of the early ycai-s of Stephen's reign. It is, however, unnecessary to repeat that history here. It will suffice to state briefly, that Stephen by this series of grunts desired to obtain the adherence and active support of his powerful subject, the Karl of Cheater, firstly, in coinl»attin^ the Empress Matilda in her attempts to wrest from him that crown which he held by a title so defective, on Whalf of her Hon Henry, then Duke of Normandy and afterwards Kin# Henry J I. ; nrrondfy, because the grant of Carlisle and Cunilierlaml to Henry, son of David, King of Scotland, when Stephen made him Earl of Northumberland at Durham in the year 11 31), had deeply incensed Earl Itanulf, who considered that Carlisle and Cumberland were his rightful patrimony, Henry I. having grunted these lordships to his father Itanulf Meschiues. The date of the charter is December, 1140, when Stephen was in Lincolnshire, opposing the forces of the Empress Matilda.
15y this charter the King granted to Ranulf, the Castle and City of
THE LANCASHIRE CHAKTULARY. 369
Lincoln, to hold until the King should have caused the Earl's possessions in Normandy to be restored to him. This done, the Earl was still to fortify and to hold one of the towers of Lincoln Castle, of which he should have the ownership, until the King restored to him the Castle of Tickhill, the caput of the Honor of Blyth, which done, the King should recover possession of the said tower, as also of Lincoln City, and the Earl should have the tower which his mother had fortified, together with the office of Constable of Lincoln Castle and of Lincolnshire, which were his by right of inheritance. The King further gave to him, Bel voir Castle and Honor, and the land of William de Albini of whomsoever held, and Grectham with the Soke, and if the heirs of Grectham made concord with the King, the Earl should possess that Honor as his inheritance, and the King would give the heirs some other estate by way of exchange. He also gave to the Earl, Newcastle- under- Lyme, Ruxley with the Soke, Torksey, the town of Derby, Mansfield, Stanley, Oswaldbec Wapentake, the land of Roger de Busli with the Honor of Blyth, as it had l>een divided, the land of Roger the Poictevin from Northampton to Scotland, except Roger de Montbegon's land in Lincolnshire. He also gave him the Honor of Lancaster with its appur- tenances, and the land between Ribble and Mersey, the land which he had in demesne in the Manor of Grimsby, as well as that which the Earl of Gloucester had there in demesne. Furthermore, for the love which he bore the Earl, he gave to Adelaide de Conde her land in Horncastle, as it was when the castle there was thrown down. And finally the King rendered to him all his other land.
To a certain extent this charter was merelv confirmatory of lands which already belonged to the Earl, although many new estates were intended to be conveyed by it, particularly Lancashire between Ribble and Mersey, and the Honor of Lancaster, which were King Stephen's by the very best of titles, and had been held by him since the year 1114 or thereabouts.
Stephen quitted Lincolnshire without fulfilling the whole of his promise, thereby affording the Earl a pretext for his subsequent treacherous behaviour, which culminated in the defeat and capture of Stephen, and the short lived predominance of the Empress Matilda. Of this neglect on Stephen's part, the late Robert Eyton says in the Staffordshire Chart ulary, "when in December, 1140, the Earl [of Chester] and his brother rebelled against Stephen, their first proceeding was to eject a garrison which Stephen had left in Lincoln Castle. The stirring sequel, the immediate siege of Lincoln Castle by Stephen, Earl Ranulfs escape by night, the indomitable energy and profound strategy which enabled him forthwith to levy and to bring a mighty host to the relief of Lincoln, the l»attle of February 2nd, 1141, and the capture of Stephen, were the events of a month."'
By virtue of this grant, Earl Ranulf subsequently executed various charters to religious houses, confirming former grants of land, churches, etc., between Ribble and Mersey. He continued in possession until his death in December, 1153. Henry II., upon his accession, restored the Honor to Stephen's younger son, William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, and Earl

In annotating this paragraph, the late Mr. Kytou has fallen into several errors. In the "Staffordshire Cliai'tulai'v/' lli*t»riml (VAw/o/jx, Vol. IF, p. 'I'l'.y he writes : -
'•This expression is significant. Taken as a whole, the Honour of Comte Ilojjer the Poitcvin has at various leeurrent periods l>ceu called the Honour of Lancaster. Lincaster Castle was its original caput. All I^uic^hiiv, between the Kibble and the Mersey, was included in the Honour. Tin* Poitevin Comte is known t> have had lands in man v other counties, and in most of these his sometime manors are |H»r|ietuallay recurring as * held of the Honour of Lancaster.' At another and later period, when vast estates— never held by the Poitevin accrued to the Karld"iut afterwards the Huchy, of Ijaiicastcr, the term 'Honour of J «*i nearer ' became, of course, more comprehensive.'
An a matter of fa -t, not only that part of Lancashire which lies "lietween Kibble and Mcrsev " was included in the Honour from and after 10H(>, but also Ainounderness, Lonsdale, if not Cartmel and Kurness also. The term " Honor of Lancaster ,: ceased to be used after the creation of the Duchy in l'ttl. Mr. Evton writes further :--
"Comte IJo^er surrendered his English lief to William the Conqueror before the date «»f Hoinesday, but the Conqueror did not disintegrate it. William Uufus, I imagine, restored it to Comte Ito^er ; but Henry T , execrating above all things the names and races of Mont«»onierv and IVle^ine, confiscated it. As an Escheat in his hands, Henry I. did some- thing to disintegrate the Honour of Ijaiicastcr, but I do not find that anything so subtracted went to a^i*randize the Honour of Chester. Henrv had not reached the middle of his reijjn when he bestowed the Comtee of Morctain and the hardlv diminished Honour of I jan caster on his nephew, Stephen, of l>l«»is ; and both the>e dignities remained with the said Stephen by a «jood and sound title till the end of his own
rei^n.
It is not correct to say that the Conqueror did not disintegrate the Honor of Count lioirer. With the exception of Rowland, he took from him the whole
1 Stubb*' Cutififif. Hht. of England, Vol. I. p. 370.
THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULAKY. 373
of his Yorkshire estates, and William Rufus did not restore them, but they became merged in the Mowbray and Percy fees. Even Bowland was not held of the Honor of Lancaster, but of the fief of Puntefract. Moreover, when Henry I. bestowed upon his nephew Stephen, the Count's former Honor, instead of doing "something to disintegrate" it, he actually added large estates to it from the royal demesne in cos. Lincoln, Leicester, and Nottingham, and portions of the escheated fiefs of Erneis de Burun, Durand Malet, Robert de Stafford, Roger de Busli, and some others in cos. Lincoln, Nottingham, Derby, and Stafford. It was from this time forward that Count Stephen's fief in Lancashire, Norfolk, Suffolk, and the counties named above became known as the " Honor of Lancaster." Lastly Mr. Eyton says : —
"When, therefore, Duke Henry, in the year 1153, spake of giving to Earl Ranulf, of Chester, all that the said Earl 'has' anywhere in the whole Honour of Comte Roger the Poitevin, the Duke probably alluded to something, more or less, which the turbulent Earl had wrested from Stephen during the period of usurpation. I do not know that anything even of this kind remained with the Earl of Chester's heirs ; but in truth the promises of Devizes, none of them resulted in estates of inheritance."
The real reason why Duke Henry qualified his grant to the Earl of the whole Honor of Count Roger, by adding " wherever he has ought thereof,'' was that the Earl onlv received in Lancashire the land between the Ribble
■r
and the Mersey, for King David of Scotland had claimed and held the rest of the county, and in King Stephen's grant to the Earl in 1141 (Charter No. 1 ) the fief of Roger de Montbegon had been expressly reserved.
Mr. Eyton gives the date January 6th, 1153, to the Duke's landing in England, as against the date of the Octave of the Epiphany, recorded by Roger de Monte, or the morning of the Epiphany, by Gcrvaseof Canterbury.1 He further suggests the date, 1st March, as the date of the Treaty. Probably it was ratified after the Duke's success .against King Stephen at Malmes- bury, which was likely to bring to him offers of supjmrt, and before he had advanced to Wallingford, and obtained his subsequent success against the King at Crowmarsh in Oxfordshire.
On November 6th, the same year, a treaty waa made between the Duke and the King at Wallingford. Events had taken place which had rapidly brought the King's resistance to an end. On the Octave of St. Lawrence's day (17th August) death came to the King's eldest son, Eustace, as a punish- ment, it is said, for sacrilege committed at St. Edmund's Abbey, near Canterbury.2
Many of the most influential among the barons had gone over to the cause of the young Duke. " It was agreed " by the Treaty " that Stephen and Henry should adopt each other as father and son ; that Stephen should keep his regal dignity for the rest of his life, Henry acting as justiciar and practical ruler of the kingdom under him ; and that after his death Henry should be King.''8

Of the eight earucates of laud hereby bestowed on Richard Fitton, four earucates and a half lay iu a district called Gunnolf's moors, which had l>eeii previously bestowed upon Alan, son of Swain in marriage with a younger sister of Riehard Bussel. According to the Hoghton evidences William Alanson had eleven sons, who all died without issue, and three daughters, who married respectively, Richard de Ollerton, Roger de Stanworth, and Roger de Wythnell. The first named had for her share Ollerton and Heapey, the second had Stanworth, Brinscall, Monkshill, Walcroft, and Bridgetield, and the third had Wythnell.
The bounds of Gunolfs moors were as follows : — Commencing at Hole- feld1, going up Worddeyn2 unto Hethylwall, upon the eastern side of GrethulP, over the summit as the water falls into Rodylsworth4, descending the river Rodylsworth unto the Stanworth hedge, following that hedge unto Kylncarr*, and following Kiincarr into Loctocke water unto the mound at Whytehyll, thence up the high road which leads from Preston, unto the Moncroke upon the Coppildhirst*, thence following the water-shed unto the

NOTES.
A11njrt Bussel succeeded to the Baron v of Penwortham after the death of his brother Richard without issue, in or before the year 11(54. This is proved by the fact that he appears in the Pipe Roll of 16 Henry II., as owing 18j marks due to the king "from the time of Geoffrey de Valoines," who was Sheriff of the Honor for some years before Michaelmas, 1166. As there is no reference to this debt in the Rolls for 1164-5, and H6.~M>, the liability- was obviously incurred before Michaelmas, 1164. The Bussel fees were held by the service of 5 knights, for which the relief would amount to 25/i or 37£ marks. The debt named above is suspiciously like the second moiety of this sum, of which the first had been previously paid.
The grant to Houkell and his heirs of land in Swarthbank, in the town- ship of North Meols, was made in frankalmoign, i.e. free from all secular service or exaction, for the health of the grantor's soul, and the soul of his wife Leticia, and their parents' and ancestors' souls, and for the maintenance of a Hospice for those having need of entertainment.
Among the witnesses appear the names of several well known Lancashire knights and thanes, and also Gerold de Clayton, steward of Penwortliam, Henry and Hugh, the grantor's two sons, two priests of Penwortliam church, Hugh the clerk, and his brother Adam. The date lies before Michaelmas,

Ranulf Blundeville, Earl of Chester ; Eustace de Vescy, baron of Alnwick and Malton ; Peter de Brus, baron of Skelton ; Gilbert fitz Reinfrid, baron of Kendal ; Robert le Waleys, the Constable's steward ; Henry de Redman, seneschal of Kendal and lord of Levens, and subse- quently of Yealand ; William son of Swain, lord of Carleton in Amouuder- ness ; William de Win wick, lord of Thornton in Amounderncss ; Thurstan
384 THE LAXCA&IIIKE CIIAUTCLAttY.
The learned editor of that volume states his opinion that Robert de Lacy was restored in 1107, again and tinally dispossessed in 1 121, his estates being .given the year following to Hugh de la Val, and that he died in 1130. In the first place we Hud in the Liiuhrt/ Survey- -the accepted date of which is 111-1-11 10— that Hugh de la Val was then in possession of Robert de Lacy'a estates in that part of Lincolnshire. As he is known to have been in possession of de I.acy's estates of Pontefract, Olitheroe and Bowland at a subsequent date, can it he doubted that he held the latter in 1114-1110, and had held them with de Laejj's Lindscy estates by one general grant from the Crown of an earlier date than that of this survey? Further, the early grants made to the Priory of Nostell prove, that while Robert de Lacy gave the half carucate of land upon which the church was set and adjacent to it, and two oxgangs of land in Hardwick, he gave no other lands to this foundation whatever. But King Henry I. gave the wood around the church, called St. Oswald's wood, uas freely and wholly as ever Ilbert de Lacy or Robert, his son had that wood," proving that while the fee of Pontefract was in the King's hands in or after 1100, he granted this wood, and the churches of St. Oswald and of Aldan of Bamborough, as fully as ever Algar the priest held them. Then when Hugh de la Val had received the fee of Pontefract, probably soon after 1100, la Val gave the churches of Rothwell, Ack worth, Fetherston, South Kirkby, Huddersfield, and Bat ley, and the manor of Hessle, all which King Henry continued by charter which probably passed on January loth, 1 121. Here is im mention <»f any important grants bv Robert de IjJicy before 1121! Is it credible that he remained in l*>ssession of Pontefract after 1 100 ! And here may be given an example of the necessity of a careful examination of historical records before accepting the deductions of authorities even as great as Dodsworth, Dugdale,1 Burton,* or Dr. Whi taker.3 The tirst charter of the Priory of Nostell printed in the Mtwattirtm (edit. 1817 1830), hears the heading C'trttt fiadntionU />:V Rnhcrtum *fr Luri. Well, the most casual glance will show that it is a charter of "confirmation *J made bv Robert de Licv, the last of the old line of the Licys, between I 1ST ami 1103. Of the witnesses and other knights named, three are named in Heurv de Lacv's Certtfifittio tie feoth'* htilitHW, made in 1100, viz., Willelmus de Fristnn, Robertus Pictavensis, and Osbertus aivhidiaconus.1 Others occur in the Chartnlary of St. John of Pontefract in charters of rinn I loo.

NOTES.
By this charter, Robert de Lacy gran to to Ralph le Rous, progenitor of the families of Mitton and Bayley, for his homage and service, Great Mearley, Twistleton, two oxgangs of land in Clitheroe with the appurte nances, particularly mentioning those messuages which had formerly belonged to Orm, the Englishman, lying both within and below the wooden palisade, which formed the outer protection of the Castle of Clitheroe, Great Mitton (in Yorkshire), Aighton and Bayley, which latter were included in the grant from Henry I. contained in the preceding charter (No. 1), to hold by the service of half a knight's fee ; together with the bailiwick and wardship of certain lands within boundaries named.1 The charter concludes with the addition — unusual in twelfth century charters — of a date, viz., the Feast of St. Clement in the third year after the coronation of King Henry (23rd November, 1102). The reference at this early date to the military service to be performed for the land, was doubtless the result of Henry I.'s Charter of Liberties 0/. Round's Feudal England, p. 225 et seq.).
It is to be regretted that the originals of this and the following charter
1 Several of these can be identified. Watersdeles probably refers to ths Watershed, " where Heavens water deals " on the summit of Pendle. Routhesic ultra Grangret was probably on the western boundary of the manor of Mearley. By Rimindene is meant Rimmington brook, from which the bailiwick extended to Iemenpull, called in the next charter Imynpell, which peems to be some stream or pool near Wvmond Houses, in Pendleton,

are not available for examination, for they have been carelessly and cor- ruptly transcribed. That they are perfectly genuine charters is beyond dispute. Confirmation of this is to be found in an inquisition1 taken at Lancaster 18th August, 1320', to inquire into the title by which Adam Nowell claimed to take old wood and 1>ark in Sabden and Pendleton Wood for burning and building, and to have common chase of all manner of wild beasts within the Mauor of Great Mear ley, viz., within Sabden brook and Itimmington brook. By which inquest it was found that Stephen de Mcarley, great-grandfather of Adam, whose heir he is, was seised of the Manor of Great Mearley, and the said rights of taking old wood and having chase, etc., in his demesne as of fee by the grant and feoffment of Jordan, son of Ralph le Rous (Esctwta, 20 Edward II., No. 43).
This grant therefore comprised seven earucates, two oxgangs of laud, the infeudation being at the rate of fourteen carucates to one knight's fee. (Kirkhy* Inquest, p. 107.)

NOTES.
We are told by Richard, Prior of Hexham, anno 1135, that Ilbert de Lacy that year recovered the Honor of Pontefraet, which Henry I. had taken from his father Robert.1 Soon afterwards he con6rmed his father's grant to Ralph le Rous by the alxjve charter, supplementing the confirmation by a new charter of feoffment (Charter No. IV). The grantor speaks of Ralph le Rous, or the Red, as "f rater mens." Perhaps he was his half-brother, or, as is more likely, seeing that he first received this land from Robert de Lacy in the year 1 102, a bastard son of the last named.
The witnesses are Yorkshire tenants of Ilbert de Lacy. Robert de Champels attested a charter of Henry de Lacy preserved in the Chartulary of St. John of Pontefraet, No. XVIII., as also did William de Reinevill of Langthwaite. Hugh de Stapleton of Stapleton, and William his son, who died in 1155, will be found in the pedigree on p. xlviof the same Chartulary. The date lies between 1135, and 2nd February, 1141, the date of the battle of Lincoln, where Ilbert de Lacy disappeared.

NOTES.
Roger de Mowbray, son and heir of Nigel de Albini, was under age in 1130, when Robert de Widvilla and Henry de Montefort rendered account of the ferm of his land, and inter alia discharged themselves of certain expenses in holding the Castle of Burton in Lonsdale (Pipe Roll, 31 Hen. I., p. 137). To William, son of Gilbert, who was probably his seneschal of Kendal, he gave tliat part of Westmorland (afterwards known as the Barony of Kendal) which, having been given to Nigel de Albini by Henry I., had
390 THE LANCASHIRE CIIARTUI.AKY.
descended to the said Roger as son and heir of Nigel, it had been held in the eleventh century by Ivo Taillebois. William de Lancaster further received a grant of the whole Wapentake of Ewecross, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, which lay partly in Lonsdale and extended over Ingle- borough Hill into Ribblesdale. This district was held by the Mowbrays in the thirteenth century by the service of two knights' fees, and consisted of the townships of Sedbergh, Garsdale, Deut, Thornton in Lonsdale, Burton in Lonsdale, Bentham, Clapham with Newby, Austwick, Lawk land, and Horton in Ribblesdale {h'irlbt/s Inquest, Suitees Soc, Vol. 41), p. 27h). This portion of the grant did not permanently remain in the hands of William de Lancaster's successor*, but was afterwards resigned to the chief lord, only the Manor of Thornton in Lonsdale being retained. As late, however, as the year 1220, the lords of Kendal are found confirming grants of land in Ewecross Wapentake. (Cf. Furness Cuuc/ter, passim.)
This William, son of Gilbert, appears to have been in high favour with William, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, Earl of Warren, and Ijord of Lancaster from 1153 to 1160, under whom he probably held the office of seneschal of Lancaster Castle, and who enfeoffed him of 3(U carucates of land, to hold by the service of one knight, in Ulverston, Warton, and Garstang, co. Lancaster. The Earl, or Henry II., also married him to a daughter of Gundreda, sister of William, 3rd Earl of Warren, and of Roger, Earl of Warwick, who died 12th June, 1153. It was at this time that the raid William, by licence of his chief lord and the King, assumed the surname of La n caster.
By this grant the Barony, or reputed Barony of Kendal appears to have originated. It is probable that the following entry in the return of knights' fees made in 1166 by Roger de Mowbray, refers to that part of the estate* hereby granted which lay in Ewecross Wapentake. " Willelmus de Lancasti ia ij indites'' (lied Book of the Fj.rhr<pia\ Rolls Series, p. 420). During the distui bances which arose in the kingdom during the year 1173, Roger de Mowbray took the part of the King's rebellious son, with the result that Kendal appears to have been resumed by the Crown, in the same way that the Honor of Appleby, otherwise called Westmarie or Westmarii g-land, was rerumed after the forfeiture of Hugh de Morvill, occasioned by his participation in the murder of Thomas a Becket. The Baronies of Appleby and Kendal, comprising the whole county, were then given to . . . de Valoines, and upon his death they passed to Theobald de Valoines, who owed £'30 at Michaelmas, 1178, for his relief of six knights' fees, the service by which these baronies were held {Pipe ItoM, 24 Hen. II., Rot. ft, m. 1 ttorso). Upon the accession of Richard I., the royal displeasure towards Ranulf Glanvill, the former justiciar, extended to his relative Theobald, who was dispossessed, and Westmorland again became a Crown estate.
William de Lancaster I., the sou of Gilbert, appears to have died before Michaelmas, 1170, for sometime during that year Richard de Morvill, younger son of Simon de Morvill, lord of Burg on-sands, and Ishall, co. Cumberland, proffered 200 marks for a writ to sue for lands which he claimed in marriage with A vice his wife, daughter of the said William. Probably this writ was to be employed against William fitz Gilbert's sou and heir.

The fhite of this charter cannot Ik? earlier than the year 1138, when Roger de Mnwl>r;iv, the grantor, was still in his minority, nor later than 1162, when Henry II. confirmed the agreement made between William de Lancaster and the monks of Fiimesa, touching the boundary between Kendal and Furness (p. 310). The most probable date is between 1150 and 1155.

NOTES.
Tlie dedication clause of this charter is particularly interesting oil account of the reference it contains to the parentage of William de Lancaster I , and to his wife, who is said by Dugdale to have been the widow of Roger, Earl of Warwick, and a sister of William, the 3rd Earl of Warren (p. 390). The following is a translation of the charter : —
"To all the faithful of God's holy church, William de Lancastre sends greeting. Known be it to the whole number of you that I, by the advice and consent of William, my son and heir, and of Gundreda my wife, and for the health of my lord Henry, King of England, and Queen Eleanor, and their children, and for the health of our souls, and the souls of Gilbert my father, and Godith my mother, and Jordan my son, and Margaret daughter of the Countess, and for the souls of my parents and all ancestors, have given and granted, and by this present charter confirmed in pure and perpetual alms to God and the church of St. Mary de Pre of Leicester, and to the regular canons serving God there, and to their men of Cokerheim, full
304 THE LANCASHIRE CHAKTULAKY.
and fire common right throughout my fee in Lonisdalc and Aummidemesse, in wood and plain, in waters and pastures, in feeding-grounds and in all other needful places, and that they and their men shall be quit of pannage in the aforesaid places. Wherefore 1 will and firmly appoint that the aforesaid canons and their men of Cokerheim shall have all their easements and their cattle in the aforesaid places free and quit of all service and exaction towards me and my heiis, as they have in their own demesne underwood, which extends unto the bounds l*tweeii Cokerheim and Thurnuiu, to wit, unto the water which is called Flaekcs-flcth which runs down into Crokispul, and so into Loin (Lune) ; and I prohibit any of my heirs or servants from causing any injury, loss or hindrance to the said canons or their men, but that they shall have and hold the said common right freely and quietly for evermore, as this my charter hears witness, with all the lil>erties and free customs which 1 mvself had in the said manor of Cokerheim, whilst I held it in my own demesne. With these witnesses, William my son and heir, Oundreda daughter of the Countess, Robert the Chaplain, William the Chaplain of Walton, Ralph son of Nicholas, Robert le Ueriz, Robert de Mundcgune, William son of Daniel [le Fleming of Thurnham], Robert Mustel, Robert the Chamberlain, William de Kair, Thomas son of William, Matthew son of William Malesturmi, Alliert dt Cardula, Matthew de Lcuns, and many others/'
This charter evidently followed soon after the previous grants to the canons, and subsequent to Henry II.'s confirmation of 115b', in which no mention is made of this grant.
The statement as to William de Lancaster's marriage is quoted by Dugdale from the Coucher of Furness,1 but genealogical statements emanating from monkish sources are to be carefully examined previous to acceptance. Gundrcda, the widow of Roger, Karl of Warwick, occurs in the Pipe Roll of 5 Henry II., s.t. Warewiescira, when she had remission granted of the seutage upon twenty knights' fees which she no doubt held in dower. - Rut there is no reason whatever for supj>osing that she re-married after her husliand's death, for she must have been well advanced in years at that time. Among the witnesses to the above charter, and following next after William, the grantor's *.ou and before two eleries, comes the name of Oundreda ilmitjhter of the Countm*. In the dedication clause amongst the names of those for the benefit of whose souls the grant was made the name occurs of Margaret, tlaer/hler of thv Counter. Is it not much more probable that the first named was the wife (if William de Lancaster, and the second her deceased sister, and that they were daughters of Oundreda, widow of Roger de Newburgh, Karl of Warwick i
Of the witnesses, those who can be identified arc Yorkshire knights, with the exception of William the Chaplain of Warton, in Lonsdale, and William le Fleming. Ralph sou of Nicholas held one knight's fee of Henry de Lacy. Matthew de Leun or Leuin held half a knight's fee of William de Vescy Other names such as Mundegun or Moutbegon, and le Heriz were borne by persons holding lands under the Laeies. It would seem that the charter wa executed at the time of some public gathering in Yorkshire.

NOTES.
William de Lancaster, second baron of Kendal, and steward of King Henry II., died in the year 1184 {Chronicle of 11. de Jfonte)% having recently given to If ugh the Hermit, at the request of his wife, of whose dower it was, the place of Askel's Cross and Croc, in Cockerham, for the maintenance of a hospital, from which rapidly arose the Abbey of Cockei-sand (Cockersand Chart idan/y p. x.). His wife was Helewise, daughter and heir of Robert de Stutevill of Lazenby, co. Cumb. She married 2ndly, Hugh de Morvill, who in the 1 John, obtained the King's licence to marry his eldest daughter to Richard de Lucy of Egremont. Tin's approximately confirms the date assigned to William de Lancaster's death.
Hugh and Helewise confirmed the grant of Cockerham to St. Mary de Pre, as also did John, when Count of Mortain. The canons had recovered the manor in the said Count's Court at Lancaster, before his justices, by the oath of 12 liege men, sometime between 1189-1194, against Hugh and Hele- wise, because William de Lancaster II., when he succeeded to his father's estates, having disseised the canons thereof without judgment, had after- wards bestowed it upon Hugh, as part of his wife's marriage portion.'

Gilbert, sou of linger fitz Reiiifml, peems to have been first associated with the King's Court in 1180. He was occasionally a Justiciar, and in 1189 lie is called " Papifer." After the accession of Richard I., he was one of the commissioners for the pacification of the country, and his father was associated with the chief justiciars and othei*s in the government of the country (Roger of Hoicdm). liy this charter addressed to the King's son, Richard, Duke of Aquitaine ami Count of Poictou, Henry II. granted Helewise, the daughter and heiress of William de Lancaster II., together with her inheritance, to Gilbert fitz Reinfred, who accordingly l>ecame 3rd baron of Kendal.
It is witnessed by Geoffrey the King's son " our Chancellor," William Marshall and Richard de Humez, son of William, Constable of Normandy, and may perhaps have passed in the spring of 1185, before the King's departure into Normandy. At any rate the date must lie lwtween 1184 and 1189. Probably Helewise was very young, and not marriageable until after 1189, seeing that Richard I. confirmed this grant after his accession, at Rouen, on the 20th July, 1189 (Benedict, II., f. 73).

Gilbert titz Reinfred could not long have married the heiress to the Barony of Kendal when King Richard granted this charter of acquittance of tin* service in cattle due to the Crown from the Barony of Kendal, and other lands in Westmorland proper. Tin's service called Noutgeld, or Neat- gold, from which the fii~nvt Comitaltt*, in " Westmarieland " was largely drawn, had long been commuted to a money j>ayment of I4li. 6s. 4</f In,

the Pipe Roll of 2 Richard, under " Westmerieland " we find the Sheriff, in reference to this acquittance, discharging his fei'ni of 7//. 3*. 2d. of Neat- geld and customs for the half year between Easter and Michaelmas, 1191, the King having seized the Honor of Westmorland into his own hands, owing to his displeasure with Ranulph de Glanvill, which displeasure had extended to Ramilph's father-in-law, Theolwdd de Valoines, who had held the Honor since the 26 Henry II.
The services due from the Karon of Kendal at this time were 14/?'. G*. Ad. for Neatgeld and customs, hereby acquitted, 8//. 18*. 2d. for the ferm of Kendal, and 5//. for the fishery of the Force on the river Kent, between Kirkby Kendal and livens. The whole of these services, amounting to 28//. As. Go/., was acquitted from Easter 1191, until Easter 1195, when 14//. 6*. 3d. for Neatgeld was yearly carried forward as owing by Gilbert. In the 9 Richard, he proffered a fine of 100//. to have six lihrates of land and acquittance of eornage and to have his other liberties according to the tenor of the King's charter. Of this tine he j»id GO//, then, and 40//. the year following. In the 1 John the arrears of eornage, etc., amounted to 114//. 0«. 5rf., for which he obtained a discharge by proffering a tine of 100//. in return for the Kings confirmation of his charters "and for having gallows and diteh in the fee which he holds by the service of the fee of one knight of the King in county Lancaster, and that the agreement made between King Richard and himself for acquittance of eornage shall l>e kept, and fur holding in peace the land in Kendal which he had by the gift of King Richard, by the surety of John Briewerre in 30 marks, Ralph Gernun, 20m. ; Robert de Fa Mare, 20m. ; Richard de Vernun, 10m. ; Gilbert de Norfolch, 20m. ; and Richard Malebisse, 40m.'' The charters here referred to follow this.
Further, the above charter granted acquittance of suit to shire or county court, wapentake or riding court, and from having to give aid to the sheriff or his bailiffs. In return for this, Gilbert and his heirs must perform the service of one knight, in addition to their other services. The original charter, of which the above was an " innovation," passed at Evron in Maine, on April 15th, in the first year of the King's reign (1190), and was attested by William, Earl of Arundel, William Marshall, William de Humez, the Constable, and Roger de Preux, the Steward. After the loss of the royal seal, and Richard's imprisonment in Austria, the King issued the above charter at Chalus, on March 5th, in the 10th yea«-, 1199, exactly one month before his death from a wound .sustained in the siege of that town. The witnesses were Herbert le Poer, bishop of Salisbury ; Vivian de Poole, archdeacon of Derby ; Robert, J. and R, chaplains ; William Marshall ; William de Poole ; Robert de Turnham, Seneschal of Anjou, and Robert de Tresgotz, bailiff of the ( otentin.

NOTES.
This charter also passed at Evron, in Maine, on April l.">th, 1190, the same date as the original of the last. Tt is interesting in proving that the land of Kendal, and those estates in Westmorland proper, and in Furness, which formed the barony of Kendal, had descended from Nigel de Albini to his son Roger de Mowbray, then by the latters grant, as shown in Charter No. I, to William, son of Gilbert de Lancaster, and so to the latter's son and granddaughter, Gilbert litz Keinfred s wife,
400 THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY.
The King, besides confirming the forost-land which Gilbert already held in right of his wife, and that which the King had given to him, granted also that whatever was waste — as opposed to arable, and therefore geldable land — in the woods of Westmorland and Kendal, in the time of the first baron, should be waste still, that is, should be treated as waste, so far as taxation or levies were concerned, except purpresture, i.e. imrroachment made by licence and with the consent of the lords of the fee of Kendal and Westmor- land. Seeing that the greater part of the cultivated land in the barony, even at that time, must have l>een improved from the forests, woods, or wastes, it was undoubtedly desirable, while the Honor of Westmorland was vested in the Crown, to have the King's licence and consent for snch exten- sive improvements, or incroachment*, as they might afterwards be legally considered. The licence took the form of treating these improvements fiscally ami legally sis still waste ground. Proliably the charter was also intended to give protection against the severity of the Forest laws.

NOTES.
The names of the witnesses to this copy of the " innovation " prove that like the 6th charter of this series, it passed at ChfiliiH, probably on the 5th March, 1199. The "original," however, was not attested by William, Earl of Arundel and his fellows, as the originals of the two preceding charters were, and therefore the date 15th April, 1190, cannot be ascribed to it. The King's first seal was lost when the vice-chancellor was drowned between Rhodes and Cyprus in 1191, but it was recovered with his dead body. The second seal, used during the King's absence in Palestine, and during his captivity, was purposely broken in 1194, in order that a new one might be made, and that all charters sealed with the old seals might be declared null and void,1 new charters only Wing granted in return for a fine, which in this case was lOOli. As already noticed, Gilbert rendered account of a fine of lOOti. for having six librates of land, etc., in the Pipe Roll of the 9th year, 1198. Probably the fine named in this charter is that for which he accounted in the 1st year of John. The date of the original was before March 3rd, 1195, the date of the death of Hugh de Pudsey, Bishop of Durham, who attests it. He, and William, Bishop of Ely, had been appointed Chief Justiciars of England, when the King went beyond seas.
It is not easy to understand the meaniug of this charter, by which the King apparently grants to Gilbert one carucate of land in Levens, with the fishery of that town, four carucates in Farleton and Beetham, and four in Preston Richard and Holme, two in Burton in Kendal, one in Hincaster, one in Preston Patrick and three in Lupton, together with a fishery belong- ing to these lands,* to hold by the service of one knight.

date these lands were certainly parcel of the barony of Kendal, and appar- ently some of them, as in the case of Levens, had been granted out by Gilbert's immediate predecessors. It is somewhat significant that these townshijw, with Middleton, Manzergh, Kirkby Lonsdale and Hutton Roof had formed part of two pre-conquest estates entirely separate from the rest of Kendal. It is therefore possible that they rendered service to the ferni of Westmorland, and that this service may be identified as the six librates referred to in the previous charter. The liberties and franchises granted with these lands are so comprehensive as to strengthen the opinion that they had not previously formed part of the grant of Kendal to the first de Lancaster, recorded in the first charter of this aeries.

NOTES.
An interesting light is thrownjipon the ramifications of twelfth century infeudations in ljancashire, and the widely scattered disposition of some estates, by this series of charters. Much interesting genealogical infor- mation is also obtainable from these instruments, to which several notable ljancashire families were parties, such as Grelley, Hoghton, Kirkby, Marsey, Ashton, and Heaton. The estates dealt with are primarily the Manors of Ashton-under-Lyne, and Heaton- in -Lonsdale, but incidental reference will also be made to the Manors of Dalton, Parbold and Wrightington, and Reddish. Many antiquaries have been puzzled as to the personality of Orm, son of Ail ward, and many statements have appeared in print dealing with him, his descendants, and his estates, which turn out to be entirely erroneous. Consequently it is intended to review, somewhat elaborately, the evidences which we have collected bearing upon this man and his descendants. The

result seems to point a moral against the slovenly and uncritical con- struction of pedigrees, and against placing too much reliance upon isolated records.
In the Inqvisitio ComiUitus L<nwcuitri<*y taken in a.d. 1212, we find that Ashton-under-Lyne and Ilea ton in Lonsdale were members of the Bussel's Barony of Penwortliaiii. " The same Kobert de Gredle holds [in A.D. 1212] ij carueatcs in Eaton of the same Itfirony [i.e., of Penwortham], and ought to render therefor yearly one goshawk or 20 shillings, but he renders not.V| Ashton was not included in the feoffment of the tief of Manchester, which was held by one Nigel in 10SG. As noticed in No. I of Series II, this vill was a niemliei' of the Salfordshire demesne in 1094, when tithes of the jxirish of Ashton were given to St. Martin of Sees. At a subsequent date the vill was incorporated in the newly-created Barony of Bussel of Penwortham, but had proltably lx»en in the possession of the Grelley family liefore the creation of that Barony by Henry I. In the Inquest of co. Lancaster of 1212, quoted al>ove, we read— "Albert Gredle, mentor, gave to Orm, son of Eiward (alibi Ail ward), with his daughter Emma in marriage, one carucate of land in Eston by ten shillings yearly. The heirs of the same "Orm hold that land," i>. in 1212, when this survey was made.2 Again we read "Albeit Gredle, tvnvx, gave the fee of one knight to Orm, son of Ailward, in marriage with his daughter Emma, to wit, in Dalton, Par bold, and Wrietinton. The heirs of the said Orm hold the faid land [in jv.d. 1212j.,r:i Particular attention is called to the use of the word senzx to distinguish " Albert us Gredle " from two others of the same name living in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Further consideration will tend to the belief that the iirst feoffment quoted of land in Eston (Ashton) to Orm, son of Ailward, was also made by Albert Grelley arnex, and that both these feoff- ments were made, not by Albert Grelley the third l>aron (son of Robert), but by Albeit the. first to be enfeoffed of lands in Lancashire, and that we have here adequate evidence of the creation of the Barony of Manchester, at least as early as the first decade of Henry L's reign. Before confirming this by other evidence, we may here quote the record of a plea in the Court of King's Bench on the Octave of Holy Trinity, 4 Edward L, 1276, which proves that the Kirkbys of Kirk by Irleth were the "heirs" of Orm, son of Ailward.

"John de Kirkeby sought against Thomas de Asseton the Manor of Asseton, with the appurtenances except six oxgangs of land, and the advowson of the church of the same manor, as his right, whereof a certain William, his ancestor, was in seisin in his demesne as of fee in the time of King Henry II., and from the said William the right descended to one Roger as son and heir, and from Roger to Alexander as son and heir, and from Alexander to one Walter as son and heir, and from Walter, because he died without heir, the right descended to the said John, who now sues as brother and heir. Thomas acknowledges the seisin of William, ancestor of the said John, and says that the same William enfeoffed thereof a certain Orni, his ancestor, and thereof he puts himself upon the grand assize of the lord King, and prays that a recognition be made whether he has more right in the said manor, except six oxgangs and the advowson of the church, by the feoffment of the aforesaid William, or whether the said John has."1 Subsequently a day was given on the Quindene of St. Michael, 6 Edward I., for the coming of the Jury of Grand Assize, and on November 25th, 12 Edward I., 1284, the result of their view and verdict was settled by a final agreement."2 Numerous other records exist to prove that the Kirkbys were mesne lords of Ashton-under-Lyne, as they were of Reddish, and of Dalton, Parbold, and Wrightington. Now Roger, son of William le Kirkby, was living in the latter part of the reign of Henry II., and died about the year 1216. His eldest son, Alexander, was one of the hostages found by Gilbert fitz Reinfred by his cliarter, or bond promising to give a life-long allegiance to King John, and enrolled upon the Charter Roll in March or April, 1216.* About 1220 we find an entry in the Testa de Nevtil relating to Reddish — "Alexander de Kyrkeby ought to hold in chief of the lord King one carucate of land for 6*."4 William de Kirkby, father of the said Roger, attested the agreement made in or about the year 1162, between William de Lancaster and the monks of Furness (p. 311). He occurs as a witness in many Furness charters between 1160 and 1185. His father, Roger de Kirkby, or as he is called in this cliarter, Roger son of Orm, attests a charter of Godard de Boivill between 1135 and 1154.* From these particulars it is evident that William de Kirkby must have been bom about 1140 or soon after, and Roger his father about 1115 or earlier. The latter being son of Orm fitz Ailward by his wife Emma, daughter of Albert Orel ley, it is evident that their marriage, and the feoffments made upon the occasion of its fulfilment, must have taken place before 1115. If, therefore, we may rely upon the premises, we can come to no other conclusion than that Emma Grelley was sister of Robert, and daughter of Albert senex, the first baron of Manchester. The importance of this deduction is great, for it settles at once the questions who the first baron was, and when the barony was created. It will be difficult in the face of the evidences here

presented to place a jwirticle of credence in the statements first made by Kaiiu'M,1 and later by the late George Ormerod, the historian of Cheshire,* by which it was sought to prove that the La thorns of Lathom were the "heirs" of Orm titz Ail ward. The same may be said of the early descents of the |>edi#ree of Assheton of Ashton-imder-Lyne.* In the latter case the mistake has arisen by a confusion of names, through Orm de Ashton, lord of Ash ton, living temp.

Returning to the details of this charter, we note tliat Albert Grelley refers to Roger, son of Orm having held Ashton and Heton "of my father," i.e., of Robert Grelley, the second l>aron. There seems to be no doubt that the grantor of the charter is Albert Grelley the third baron,4 who died about 1162, the names of several of the witnesses confirming this belief. Roger de Marci, or Maresey, a Nottingliamshire baron who held three knights' fees of the Honor of Lancaster, and flourished during the reign of Henry II. ; John de Ancsty (Dauntesey) occurs in the Pijte Roll of 4 Henry IT., 1157-68, under Hampshire, where he was excused 3*. Gd. of his sliare of a gift from the county to the King. Ralph de Birun was probably a cadet of the liurons of Lincolnshire ; AVulric, the clerk, was almost certainly the pre- decessor of Jordan, Dean of Manchester temp. Richard I. and John, and the same person to whom All>ert the third baron gave land in Manchester as recorded in the Testa de Xevill — " Albert Gredle, senior, gave to Wluric de Mamecestre four oxgangs of land of his demesne by [the service of] 5*. yearly. His heirs hold that land r* [in a.d. 1212]. Geoffrey and Bernard Grelley have not occurred before. They were possibly brothers of Albert Grelley II.

NOTES.
It will be well to state at once, before considering this charter, that the grantee was not the Roger son of Orm of the preceding charter, but son of Orm, son of Magnus, which Orm has been introduced by the late Mr. Ormerod into the Lathom pedigree, quite unwarrantably, as the sequel will show.
Of him more will be said in the Notes to Charter No. III. It appears that Heaton in Lonsdale, or rather a moiety of the manor, had been given by Warine Bussel to Ranulf, son of Roger de Marsey — with other lands in Ley land Hundred— in marriage with his daughter. So says the Testa de Nevilly adding further that in a.d. 1212, the heir of the same Ranulf was in ward to Eustace de Moreton with the whole of his land.2 The other moiety, as will be seen later, was given by Warine Bussel to Hamon le Boteler, ancestor of the de Hoghtons of Hoghton."

3 It appears to be a hopeless task to attempt to fix the position of the Grelleys, or of their tenants the Kirkbjs, in the complicated tenure of this township. As there is no further mention of the Kirk by 8 in connection with this manor, it appears probable that they resigned their mesne tenancy before the date of this charter. Upon the death of Roger de Heton in 1262, it was found by inquest that lie had held two carueates of land in Heton, viz., one which he held of Geoffrey de Chetham by the yearly service of 10*., and the other which he held of Adam de Hocton for which he rendered yearly \9\d. In the survey of 1322, the manor of

Hoger do Marsey, son of the Haiiulf named alwve, herein confirms to Roger son of Orni [son of Magnus], the moiety of Hetun, viz., the aaaie part which his father Orni [son of Magnus] held of the grantor^ ancestors, a term which probably covers his father Hanulf, the first grantee from Warine lhissel. The service was 10*. yearly at St. Martin, and 12c/. Sakefee due to the King as lord of the Honor of Lancaster. This service is the half jiart of that reserved in the previous charter.
In addition to the estates grunted to llanulf fitz lloger, of 5 team lands in the fee of Pen wort ham, this family possessed the manor of Bolton le Moors,1 with the church, which was given to Marsey or Mattersey Priory by Roger de Marsey the founder, in the reign of Henry II., and Little Bolton, Tong writh Haulgh, Bieightmet, HadcliHe, Unnston, and Westleigh, which were held for the service of one knight's fee. In the rental of the Wapentake of Salfnrri, temp. John, we find an entry " Of Saktie of the land of Itaimlf son of Roger 10*.,"* being the yearly rent due from the above lands in lieu of the chief lord's title before Domesday, to the profits of executing justice in all pleas save placita coromv. This Ranulf was son and heir of the founder, who died 32 Henry II., but being then only 7 years old, he did not succeed to the estates of his father until 1 John, when he gave 50 marks to have his land, which had been in the King's hand since his father's death.* He only survived until 8 John, when Eustace de Moreton proffered 100ft*. to have the wardship of the land and the heir of Ranulf de Mei'eseia, of which he had l)ccn seised on the day he crossed over the sea.4 Evidently he died in Normandy when on the King's service.
The witnesses to this charter are all Nottingliamshire men, except the last five, who were of co. Lancaster, and include Warine, brother of lloger son of Orm, and Walter son of Stainulf, perhaps of Adlington. The ]>edigrees of the families of Lovetot, Chevrecourt, and Jorz will show that the date of this charter lies somewhere between 1100 and 1180.
Helton in Loncsdale was held by Roger de Pilkington, by the yearly service of 10*. collected by the bailiff of Salford Hundred. This points to the Grelleyi having abo relinquished their right in tho lordship of this place, and that Pilkington had taken the place of Chctham as mesne lord over the Heatons of Bourn Hall. But the fact of the item of 10-v. appearing in the fenn of Salford Hundred, indicates thut when this manor hud first been granted out, probably within a few yean after the date of the Domesday Survey, the grantee hud been the holder of a fief in Salford Hundred, which suggests that the Grellei*, as first grantees, were chief lords of i his manor over the barons uf Pcmvortham.
1 Jt is noteworthy that tho manor of Bolton did suit to the Baronial Court of Pen wort ham at least as late as tho reign of Henry VIII.

NOTES.
Immediately after obtaining the two previous confirmations, and possibly as a pre-arranged sequence of acts, Roger son of Orm [son of Magnus] granted the moiety of Heaton to Augustin son of Waldeve, ancestor of the family of Heaton of Bourn Hall, to hold in free thanage by the same yearly service as that by which he hini3elf held it, in exchange for Augustin's inheritance, viz., the third part of Hutton, in Leyland Hundred, upon condition that if he should not be able to warrant to him the land of Heaton, Augustin should recover his inheritance in Hutton, unless he had forfeited it by his own fault. Roger, sou of Orm, held the other two-thirds
410 THK LAXCARIIIItK ClfARTULAItY.
of Hutton in Leylandshire, and lie also hold Medlar in thanage by the warly service of ttx. Hutton was a member of the barony of Pen wort ham, and was held hy the service of the third part of one knight's fee.1
In the Inquest of n>. Lancaster, a.d. 1212, we find it recorded that "Theolmld Walter holds the fee of half a knight [in Amoundernesa], and thereof Hervey father of Hervey Walter [who was father of Theobald], gave to Onn son of Magnus in marriage with his daughter Aliz, four carucates of land in Routhcclive, and in Thistleton, and in Orenhole by military service."*
To prove that the said Orm was the father of Roger de Hutton, we need only refer to the VovWrmvd C/tartulan/, where we find his son Elias de Hutton, granting two oxgangs of land in Thistleton, land in Grenole (now. Greenhalgh). ail led Quitakur, the homage and service of Walter de Grenole, and acquittance of multure at his mill of Grenole, to the Abl>ot and canons of Coekersand, to whom his father had previously given his manor of Hutton.3
Thus falls to pieces an illusion cherished by the late Mr. Ormerod, the historian of Cheshire, that the Lathoms of Lathom were the "heira" named in the Inquest of a.d. 1212, not only of Orm, son of Ailward, but also of Orm, son of Magnus.4 A calculation of descents will show that Elias de Hutton, son of Roger, son of Orm, l>eing of full age in or about the year 1200, his great-grandfather must have been born about the time that William Ruins ascended the throne, and that his grandfather Orm, and grandmother Aliz Walter were prokably married in the latter part of Stephen's reign.
The names of the witnesses to this charter constitute a valuable list of Lancashire men, holding lands in Amounderness and Leyland Hundreds, early in the reign of Henry II. We find Albert Bussel, baron of Penwortham, and Geoffrey his brother ; Richard, thane of Woodplunrpton ; Richard Fitton of Rufford and Great Harwood ; Robert de Winwick, lord of Thornton, in Amounderness ; Augustin, son of Gospatrick, unknown ; Walter, son of Osbert, thane of Lytham, Clifton and Westby ; Jordan, son of Ricliard, lord of Freckleton ; Roger le Boteler, loitl of Warton ; Grirabald, probably lord of Ellel ; Orm, son of Bernulf, lord of Over Kellet, and Adam his brother ; Waldeve and Adam, sons of Gamcl, unknown ; Aelsi, perhaps lord of Goosnargh ; Siward and Richard, sons of Outi, the former lord of Cuerden, by the grant of Robert de Molyneux of Sefton in marriage with his sister ; Adam, son of Ulf, lord of Ulneswalton ; Adam, dean of Kirkham, also called d'Avranches, to whom William de Lancaster L gave Yealand and Silverdale, who proffered 10<to. in 30 Henry II., to marry one of his daughters to Henry, son and heir of Xorinan de Redman,* by which marriage one moiety of Yealand came to the Redman family ; Hugh de Insula occurred in the previous charter, but has not been identified ; Elias, son of Roger de Hutton, the grantor ; William, son of Orm, unknown ;

NOTES.
In the two last charters we dealt with a moiety only of the township of Heaton in Lonsdale, viz., that which was held in free thanage by the yearly service of 10*., and I2d. sakefee. In this charter we have to deal with the other moiety, which was held by military service, imposed in lieu of 10*.
1 Charier Soil, 1 John, Pt. I, w. 4.
412 THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY.
the balance of the yearly service of 20*., referred to in Albert Grelley\s confirmation to Roger, son of Orm (p. 404). The Inquest of co. Lancaster of A.D. 1212 records that "the same Warine [Bussel] gave to Hamon le Boteler (Pincerna), in frank marriage with his daughter two carucates of land in Heton, and in Ethiliston," adding further that in 1212, " Adam de Hocton holds the same Heton, to wit one carucate of land."1 We can prove by this charter that Adam de Hocton was the lineal grandson of Hamon le Boteler, for herein as Adam, son of Richard, son of Hamon le Boteler, he grants to August in [de Heaton], son of Waldeve, the moiety of Hetune, to hold in fee and inheritance by doing the ninth part of the service of one knight. By this deed therefore Augustin de Heaton l>ecame possessed of the whole manor and township of Heaton in Lonsdale, which desceuded in that family for many generations, passiug by marriage in the fifteenth century to the Catteralls, and from them to the Brockholes of Claughton.
The witnesses deserve some notice. The first, William de Winchelcombe, was at that time prior of Penwortham ;» Alexander the priest of Pen- wortham, and Robert the clerk ; Richard Banastre of Bretherton, of the family of Banastre of Bank Hall ; Roger, son of Orm, lord of Hutton (the grantee of No. II, and grantor of No. Ill), and Warine his brother, possibly ancestor of de Coruay, and Bradkirk of Brad kirk Hall, in Medlar ; Peter de Burnhull, lord of Brindle ; Ughtred, son of Hucca or Huck, lord of Little Singleton, and Broughton (see Series XX, No. II), Gerold de Clayton, dapifer or steward of the baron of Penwortham ; Walter, son of Stainulf, perhaps lord of Ad ling ton ; Si ward lord of Stand ish ; Swain Scathe a free tenant in Hutton ; Robert Tait, Adam, son of Waldeve, Richard, son of Margaret, and Alfred the clerk, unknown ; William, son of Alan, lord of Gunolf s moors ; Geoffrey de Clayton, and four others unidentified. The date is somewhere in the latter part of the reign of Henry II., or early in that of Richard I.

NOTES.
Reference to this charter has been made previously (page 43), but the assumption there made that by this grant Preston became a free borough is altogether untenable when the text is examined. King Henry grants and confirms " to my Burgesses of Preston all those liberties and free customs which I gave and granted to my Burgesses of Newcastle under Lyme" (see the next charter). Preston had long been a borough, probably from Saxon times, and the present charter confers upon them the right to have a Guild Merchant, with the liberties and free customs pertaining to this manner of Guild. For this they had proffered 100 marks, and whereas the town had formerly rendered £0 yearly, as a member of the royal demesne to the ferm of the Honor, the burgesses henceforth rendered £6 of increment, or a total of £15. The date of this grant was at Winchester, in September, 1179.
Three years before, Preston had contributed the sum of £16 10*. to the aid or tallage levied in anticipation of an expedition to Normandy (page 36). This rate was many times higher than that levied upon ordinary agricultural land, and proves that Preston was a town of considerable magnitude in 1176.
A recent contributor to the English Historical Review1 points out the probability of Preston having received a form of the laws of Breteuil from the first lord after the Conquest, Roger the Poictevin, which laws have been preserved to the present time in the document known as the " Custumal of Preston," probably written in the time of Edward I. The last line of this document states that "this is the law of Preston in Aumundrenesse which they have from the Law of Breton." It is manifestly improbable that

NOTES.
By this charter John, Count of Mortain, and lord of the Honor of Lancaster — which he forfeited a few months later — granted to his burgesses of Lancaster all the liberties which he had given to the burgesses of Bristol, and released them from suit of his mill, from ploughing service, and other servile customs which they were wont to perform, and from reaping on his behalf as they had been accustomed to do. He also granted pasturage of his woods, as far as their animals could go in the day from the town of Lancaster and return, and dead wood in his forest as much as they had need of for burning, and of other timber as much as they had need of for building, by the view of his foresters. The town of Lancaster, as will be seen from No. II of Series XIX, lay within the metes of the forest of Lancaster, hence the servile nature of the tenure, and the restrictions formerly put upon the inhabitants with respect to pasturage and estovers, which the Earl now removed.
By another charter which passed at Chin on, 10th October, 1199, after his accession to the throne, John revoked the clause of the above charter which conferred a grant of the liberties which the burgesses of Bristol enjoyed, substituting for it " the liberties which our burgesses of Northampton had upon the day in which King Henry our Father died." In other respects the terms of the confirmation were identical with this grant.1 We plead guilty to having neglected to examine the charter to the burgesses of Bristol, on the grounds that the grant of similar liberties to Lancaster only continued for about 6 years. As regards the liberties which Northampton possessed at the death of Henry II., we presume that they were identical with those contained in the charter of Richard T., dated at St. Edmund's, 18th November, 1st year of his reign, 1189, as follows* : —
" We have granted to our Burgesses of Northampton that none of them plead without the walls of the Borough of Northampton of any plea except pleas of oujtlioldings,3 except our moneyers and ministers. Also we have granted to them acquittance of murder1 within the Borough and in portsoken,* and that none of them make duel,6 and that of pleas apper- taining to the Crown they may justify according to the custom of the Citizens of the City of London y and that within the walls of the same Borough no one take hostellagc* by force or by livery of the Marshall ; And this we have granted to them that all the Burgesses of Northampton

and thanes reudered account at the Treasury of 2007*. and ten chargers for this confirmation, as also of 220//. arrears of the original proffer of 5QOIL (p. 114). The important question as tc» what townshijw were included "in the forest of the Honor of Lancaster '" will he dealt with in a subsequent document. The present volume has shown how the knights and thanes paid heavy fines in the time of Henry II. to esea]>e the consequences which would follow the taking of the " reguard of the forest."' Within the metes of the forest houses built, enclosures made, underwoods or wastes improved and brought under the plough, timber trees cut down, underwood or evergreens lopped, hares and foxes killed, dogs kept even for herding or protection were all acts contrary to the laws of the forest, subjecting the perjietratora to heavy tines or even imprisonment. When it is remembered that this was the state of the freeholders within the area extending from the Keer to the Cocker, and southward to the Kibble, and from the western coast to the liounriary of Yorkshire, the lordship of Hornby and Chipping- dale, including even the towns of Lancaster, ami Preston, it will be seen that they were in a sorry plight until this charter brought them liberty, and immunity from ]>ains and penalties.
The 700//. and ten charge i*s, large as the sum was in those days, was no doubt willingly paid for an assurance that they would no longer be subject to continual oppression, or live in dread of the next forest reguard.

NOTES.
Many of the l>oundaries described in the perambulation of the forest of Lancashire can he identified, as will Ihj seen by reference to the following translation.
"This is the }>cramhulation of the forest of the lord King in county Lancaster made by the precept of the lord King by —

" Firstly \ Quernenior, by these bounds, to wit, as Lungeleswic (between Scotforth and Qiieriunoor) extends towards Herlescate (Earl's gate, a road running in a northerly direction from Lmcaster llaee Course), on the western side of the head of Qin-rnemore, and following Herlescate in descending unto the bridge of Musaril (Moss or Moorside X) and following the syke in descending unto Fritbroc (Frith brook, now Denny Beck, the boundary between Quernmoor and Bulk), following Fritbroc in descending into Lon (the river Lime), following Lon in ascending unto Heskehoubroc (Escowbrook, between Quernmore and Caton), following ITeskehoubebroc in ascending unto Stokbrigge (Stockbridge, on the road between Quernmore Park and Brookhouse), following Stokebrigg in ascending unto Aukesdene (Hawks Dene, the gill near Hawkshcad), following the ayke of Aukesdene in ascending unto the little syke which is under Ulvesweit (Ullthwaite, near Ilollinhead), and from that little syke unto Stordac (Storthoak, probably in HoUinhead Wood), and from Stordac unto the eastern side of the head of
THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY. 423
Brunesgare (Brunscar, a name preserved in Broom Brow Wood), following Brunesgare in ascending unto the summit of the head of Clochehoc (Olougha Pike, between Littledale and Quernmore), and from the summit of the head of Clochehoc unto the head of Darneiesgile (by the summit of Grit Fell, down to Appletree, at the head of Damas gill), following Dameresgile in ascending unto the little syke which is between the two Waresherles (? Waterah eddies, near the north-east corner of Ellel), following the little syke unto Blomos (Blea-moss ? near Black-house, and Black-wood), and from Blomos following the little syke into Gondovere (the river Conder), following Gondovre in ascending to where the watercourse of Li tt elf el (Little fell, near the north-east corner of Scotforth), falls into Gondovere, following the little syke in ascending unto the moss under Yuelotes hevede (olim Eghlotes- heved, probably the height to the north of Little Fell), following that moss in ascending unto the way of Stokesweit (Stockthwaite), following the way of Stokesweit in ascending unto Herlescate (olhn Erlesgate). Moreover, without these bounds King John formerly gave a portion of that forest by his charter to Matthew Gernet and his heirs, rendering therefor yearly half a mark, saving to himself his venison (i.e. hunting), and thereof the lord King shall do his will.
"Item, except Couere (Calder), and Blesedale by these bounds, to wit from the head of Caldre (Calder River, Ordnance map No. 40), on the southern side unto Hulvesty (Wolf sty or Ulfs-sty), and from Vluessti following unto the summit of the head of Pirloc (Parlick Pike, map 45), and from the summit of the head of Pirloc following the Mereclo (Meerclough) in descending unto where the Mereeloc falls into Brok (river Brock) at Sthorfinelees (olim Thorpen Lees), following Broc in descending unto the watercourse on the eastern side of Wensnape (Winsnape), following Wensnape in ascending unto Stogthole (olim Stayngile, now Stangule) and from Stogesthol unto Senesti (Comisty, the road through Quakenclough, map 10), following Senesti in descending into Calder and so following Calder in ascending unto the aforesaid Wulsty (Wolf sty).
"Item, except Fulewude (Fulwood) by these bounds, to wit from the Hay of Ravenkel (near Plungington House) unto the way of Dunepul (north of Preston Moor), and thence as the watercourse runs to Dupedale (Deepdale Road), and thence unto Lund to the upper head, and thence as the water- course of Dupedale goes to Fulwude, and thence as that watercourse falls into Huctredescate (Ughtred's gate), and thence as the way goes to lower Coleford, and thence as it falls down to Cadileisahe (Cadley-shaw) and thence unto the Hay of Ravnekil. And [herein] the men of Preston ought to have timber for their buildings and to burn, and pasture for their beasts.
" Item, except Toxstakes (Toxteth) by these bounds, as where Hoskelles- broc (OskilPs brook) falls into Merese (the river Mersey) and following Hoikelesbroc in ascending unto the Haghou meadow, and from that meadow unto Brummesho following the syke unto Brumlansic, and thence across by the old turbaries upon two nioors unto Lombes thorn, and from Lombes- thorn thence descending unto the Waterfal of the head of Hoterpol (Otter pool), following Hoterpol in descending unto Merese (the river Mersey). And by (next) these bounds the lord King John put Smethesdune (Smeedon) with the appurtenances into the forest, and gave Thingwell in exchange to

a certain poor man in place of it, and thereof the lord King may do his will.
"Item, except the underwood of Derby by these bounds, to wit from Brodehapeltre (broad applutree) in I la mm ear, and so through the xnidst of the can* unto Uasellenehirstc, and so where the (Kith issues forth the grove to over Lungle (Langley ?) which extends from Derby towards Kyrkeby (Kirkby)andso beyond Lungle (I^mgloy) into Mukehrokes (Muck-brooks ? ), and in ascending by Mukebrokes unto Thrumthoradelebroc (Thru ni- thorn - dale-brook ?), and so ascending unto the plain of Tiling walacrea (Thing-wall acres). The neighbouring towns have common of the herbage and other things in the aforesaid underwood, and the men of Derby have all necessaries in that underwood.
" Item, except Burtoncswod (Burton Wood) by these bounds, to wit from Hardesty (the Hardsty) as far as from Sanky (Smiky) and from Ravnes- neslake (ltovcn's-ness-leach) unto Bradelesbroc (Bnideley brook); bo that William le Boteler and his heirs have common of jwsturo and store cattle and mast for their swine, and timber for their Castle of Werineton (Warrington), and for buildings, and for burning."
The effect of this perambulation was to strictly confine the operation of the forest laws within the areas prescribed, and to clearly define the liberties of certain townsnips and free tenants within those areas. Before the "Charter of the Forest" was granted, the severity of the foivst laws was felt throughout a large proportion of the county, in fact throughout the whole of the country between the Itihble and the Keer, except the lordship of Hornby, and through the townships which adjoined areas of forest in the hundred of West Derby. But although many lilicrties were now enjoyed in the districts which lay around the forest, these townships were not entirely free from the restrictions incidental to the preservation of the King's deer, and men frequently found themselves liable to line or amercement owing to the acts of those among their neighbours and fellow villagers, who loved the taste of venison, and the excitement accompanying a poaching expedition into the forest, and never let slip an opportunity of sreuring a stray or wounded buck, when there was someone ready to give a good price for a haunch, without asking curious questions about its origin.
The boundaries of this partially-exempt district are described in the two following documents —

NOTES.
Tlie early part of the Molyneux pedigree is so very incorrect that a few notes to correct the inaccuracies will not be out of place. William des Molines, who stands at the head of the pedigree, without the slightest warrant for the liberty taken in putting him there, derived his name from Moulins-la-Marche (Molendina) in the department of the Orne, whereas the name Molyneux or Moulineaux was derived from the place of the same name (Molinelli) in the department of Seine Inf6rieure. The merest tyro

428 THE LANCASHIRE CIIAUTULARY.
in historical study illicit know also that a nobleman held iu high esteem by the ('mi i pi cror, as William des Molines is naiil to have been, would not have received as his share upon the division of conquered England a hide and a half of laud held by the .service of only half a knight ! The earliest known incmlier of the family is the knight of Count Roger the Poictevin, whom he enfeoffed - after the restoration of hi* Lauc.-mhirc fief by William Rufus— of loj, teamlauds, viz. : S»-ftoii, (\ teamlauds, the third jwirt of Thornton, viz. : 1 teamlaud, a moiety of Downlithcrland, viz. : 1$ tea inland, and Cuerdeu, 2 teamlauds. The inquest of en. Ijancaster, taken iu A.D. 1212 — when Richard de Molyneux was the lord of Seft »n— thus records the original feoffment — " Richard de Muliuas holds ten teamlauds and a half by the gift of Roger the I'oicte\ in by the service of half the fee of one knight." The name of the first grantee, Vi\ i.ni de Molyneux, is |K»ssibly preserved in the following charter : " Know all men present and to come that I, Richard lu Molyneux of Seaflon, have given, remitted and released from me and my heirs for ever to Thomas ]<• Molyneux my son, all right, title, claim or interest, which I have had, now have, or in any wise could have in Little Sal ton, and i.ther my lauds ami tenements iu Lowthian in the pa its of Scotland, which were formerly Vivian le Molyneux's, whose heir I am. Witnesses, Sir Itol>ert de Latham and others. <ii\cu in the Slh year of the reign of King Edward, son of King Kdward (l;jl">), under seal bearing the Cross moline." (IkMhirortli* MS. LX L f. 1 1-1.)
Tlic evidence of this chart ci' must be taken for what it is worth as proving that Vivian was the name of the first grantee. I have seen no other evidence, nor does < 'amden — who probably quoted from the incorrect pedigree drawn up by William Detheek, Carter, :20th duly, l.r)SJ)— state his authority. J)etheck in hi* pedigree under " Vivian " states, " hujus Viviani de Mulinaus testautur char(;e autitpiissiuwe penes Kichardum Molineus, mil item, nunc houiiuum de Scftmi Milicite adhuc recondita1. qua* de code in Viviano, Adamo, et subseipiente (iidiebno cum aliis ins|>e\imus.v The same authority gives Siwarda as his wife. As the same authority assumes that Adam de Molyneux was son and heir of Vivian, on t in* strength of a release made by Adam of land in Mclling and ( oiiscough to ( 'ockcrsand Abl>ey, which was not founded until about IIM, the reliability of his other evidence may be estimated at its true value.
The successor of Vivian, and probably his son, was Robert, the grantee named in this charter, wherein Stephen, ( 'mint of Mortain, and lord of the Honor of Lineaster grants, and as it seems confirms to the said Robert "his land of Liderlant,': /.''., a moiety of hownlitherland, which his descendant was said to hold iu 1:21:2 u in exchange of Toxteth,1' whereby it would appear that Henry I. had made the exchange between 1 102 and 1114, in order to put Toxteth into his rojal forest. If this was so, there is no doubt that Count Stephen's charter was the necessary confirmation which would be sought for after he had entered into possession of the Honor of Lancaster and we may safely ascriW it to a date soon after 1114, say 1114 to 1116.
A translation of the charter will run thus -u Stephen, Count of Boulogne and Mortain, to his sheriffs and all his barons Hcmleth greeting. Know ye that I grant to Robert de Moliness his land in Liderlant for 14*. yearly to him and his heir. Witnesses, Robert the Stewart, and Robert de Vilers,
TIIE LANCASHIRE CIIARTULARY. 429
Know also that I grant to him Oschil, son of Hof, and give him. Witnesses, Adam de Belnai, William, son of Theobald." The style is curious and curt. Oschil, son of Hof, was one of the Count's villeins, perhaps transferred to Downlitherland from the Count's adjoining demesne of Great Crosby. The evidence of this charter renders it probable that this Robert de Molyneux was the father of another Robert, to whom we have three references in the Inquest of co. Lancaster of 1212. The first may refer to either father or son, in fact it is more likely to refer to the former. The record states that, " The same Pain [de Vilers, the first lord of Warrington] gave to Robert de Muliuas one team land in Thorinton by knight's service where ten teamlar.ds make the fee of one knight, which Robert, son of Richard [de Molyneux] holds now [in 1212] by the same service."
In the next two entries, which clearly refer to the son, we have reference to two infeudatious made by him. " Robert de Mulinas, father of the tame Richard [who was living in 1212] gave two team lauds in Kirden [Cuerden] with his sister to Siward, son of Outi, and now Henry his son holds those team lands by knight's service. And of those teamlands the same [Henry] gave three acres of land to the blessed Mary of Kokersand in alms."
"The same Robert de Mulinas gave to Gilbert his brother one teamland in Thorinton by knight's service, as much as belongs to one teamland of that fee, and now [in 1212] Richard his son holds that land by the aforesaid service."1
The approximate date of Robert's death was probably circa 1170. At Michaelmas, 1182, his son, Richard de Mulineals, rendered account at the Treasury for licence to agree with the men of Singleton respecting a certain new assize (p. 47). At Michaelmas, 1 194, he rendered account of 100*. which lie had proffered to have the King's pardon and good will, because he had taken part in the rebellion of John, Count of Mortain, for which his lands were in the King's hands (p. 77). In the inquest of the county taken in a.d. 1212, he was returned as holding the lordship of Sefton for half a knight's fee in chief of the King, also three teamlands in Little Crosby held of the barony of the Constable of Chester (i.e. Widues), by the service of the fourth and 20th parts of a knight's fee, and the vill of Larbrick in Amounderness jointly with four other persons. He married [Anuota?] daughter of Roger Geruet, chief forester of Lancaster, who gave liim Sj>eke in marriage with his said daughter, and in the year 1213, he died, being succeeded by his son and heir Adam de Molyneux, who had livery of his father's lands by writ dated 24th November, 1213.

A comparison of this record with that printed bv the Record Commissioners in the vol. entitled Testa de Nevill, will disclose one or two serious errors in the latter version of the entries quoted above.

Ihoctun, now Uroughton, in the parish of Preston, was aaaeftsed to Danegeld in loc>0 as one tcamland, and was a member of Earl Tostig's great manor of Preston in Amounderiicss. Hucca or Uok is the Anglo- Saxon I In'-, a tribal name retained in the place name "Hacking." The individual so named in the charter seems to have l>een the successor of the pre-conquest thane or drengh of Broughton, and the holder of a serjeanty attached to the. ownership of the estate of Little Singleton. He was the ancestor of the Singleton family, which with its various offshoots at one time held large estates in Amounderness. Ughtred, son of lluck, is frequently mentioned in charters and other records of the time of Henry II. At Michaelmas, -23 Henry II., 1177, he rendered account at the Treasury of 5 marks to have the Kind's confirmation or warranty of land (perhaps in Stainall) which he held by the gift of (JeoUrcy de Valoines, who had been Sheriff of Lancaster during the time that William, Count of Boulogne, wan lord of the Honor; he also rendered account of 100.*. that he might give another daughter of Robert, son of Itcinward, in marriage. In a charter of Penwortham Priory, this Robert is dcscriWd as nepo* doniini, where dominu* refers to Richard Mussel, baron of Penwortham (1153-11 GO).1
Tn the almve charter William, ('mint of Uoulogne, Warren and Mortain, as he is there destribed, confirms to Tghtred and his heirs eight oxgangs of laud in IJroughton with the appendages and appurtenances, to hold of him and his heirs jus Tghtreds ancestors had held it by the service due, viz.,

When Count John received the Honor of Ijancaster from Henry II., he granted his demesne estates of Preesall and Ilackcnsall to his cross- bowman, Geoffrey Arltalester, to hold in seijeanty by the yearly .service of two arbalests, or crossbows.

NOTES.
In this charter we have reference to an earlier grant made by Henry II. to Warine de Lancaster, chief falconer of Lancaster, reputed to be a younger son of Gilbert de Lancaster, of the vills of Ravensmeols, Ainsdale, Uplither- land, Liverpool, and French Lea, and one penny of rent in the borough of Preston, to hold by serjeanty of being the King's falconer. Count John of Mortain had confirmed this grant to Warine after receiving the Honor in 1189. Between that year and the date of this charter, which passed before 1194, "Warine died and was succeeded by Henry his son, to whom the Count herein confirmed his inheritance. The witnesses were Stephen Ridel, the Count's chancellor, William de Cahaines, Richard de Reviers, Fulc de Cantelou, Ralph le Waleys, Master Benet or Benedict Malduit and Canute. It passed at Marlborough.

Ily this eharter John, ( .'omit of Mortain, granted the vill of Great Crosby — a mriiiliiT of hi* I,aneashire demesnes— to Robert son of Osbert de Aimilvea- dale (now Ainsdale), his forester of West Derby, to hold in aerjeauty by the free service i if oink hundred shillings yearly. < Ireat Crosby was a member of Count lio^fi- the Poietevin's demesne in 1<K)4 (page 294), and of the Demesne of II i »nry II. in 1177 win mi it was t allayed 3(5*.

Upon the Count's forfeiture of the Honor of I^aiuaster in 1194, this manor was seised into the Kind's hands, except half a teamland which Itobertde Ainsdale was allowed to ivtain, or had held in the time of Henry II. The inquest of 1*21:2 states that *' Kohert wm of Oshert liolds half a team land to be reeve of the niauor of Crossed »i and of the forest in I )erbisire." In a schedule of the feiin of the Wapentake of West Derby enrolled on the Pipe Roll of 10 Henry III., we find the following entry--" In the King's villeinage in Crosseby 5/i". .">*." per annum of assi/ed rent, proving that Great Crosby was Again parcel of the ro\al demesne.

NOTES.
A full account of this charter has already appeared on page 81. It is not quite clear when Theobald was dispossessed of the Wapentake of Amounderness, but it probably occurred upon the accession of King John, who restored it by writ dated 2nd January, 1202. (see page 211). As it

did not descend to his heirs, it is safe to assume that on the accession of Henry III., if nut on the death of Theobald, the Crown resumed possession, and again put the Wapentake into the royal demesne.

NOTES.
That part of the < 'barter Roll of the Hist year of King John, upon which charters of the month of June, 1101), were enrolled, now no longer exists, hence the inclusion of this charter in the present series. Ranulf was probably appointed Treasurer of Salisbury upon the elevation of his predecessor Savaric fitz (leldewin to the see of Bath and Wells in 1192.1 It t.-an hardly be doubted that lianulf had been presented by John, when lie was Count of Mortain, during the long period of the King's wardship of tlie lands ,unl the heir of Robert Banastre of Makerfield. It is worthy of note that Kanulf as parson of Wigan only took the very moderate pension of one mark from his benefice, and that his successors do not appear to have been entitled to more.

NOTES.
Copies of this and the three following charters have recently come to light in Kuerden's MS., Vol. V., preserved in the College of Arms, and as they throw some additional light upon the infeudations recorded in Series XVII., they have been included in this volume. In the Inquest of co. Lancaster taken A.D. 1212 it is recorded that "the heir of Roger de Heton
438- THE LAXCASIIIKK CHAIlTULARY.
holds 2 J teamlandr: of the lord King in thanage by xvijt. per annum?1 The details of this thanage estate are not given, but from subsequent rentals it is ascertained that the estate was composed of the manor and Hall of Bourn containing <me teumland, yearly service 10*., the manor of Weat- hushaui, now called Wesham, containing one team land, yearly service 4*. ; and (Jriinsargh containing half a tea inland, yearly service 3*., all lying within the Hundred of A nio underlies*.
In the above charter we have |Hirticulars of various estates held by Roger
de Ilcaton, son of Augustin, in or about the year 1189, when John, Count
of Mnrtain, received the Honor of Lancaster. Herein the Count confirms (1)
the grant of four oxgangs of land in Weshain, being half the viil, which
linger held of the Karl by the thanage service of 2*. yearly ; and other
reasonable gifts of lands and tenements made to the said Roger by the
Count's knights and free tenants, viz. (2) by the grant of Adam de Hoghton,
son of Richard, son of llamon le ttoteler, of the moiety of Heat on in
Lonsdale (ritle Series X., No. IV.) ; (3) by the grant of Roger son of Orni
(son of Magnus) the vill of (irinisargh, to wit half a ttamland (vide Series
XVII., No. III.; ; (4) fmir oxgangs of land in Urswick in Furness, by the
grant of I 'If son of Kfwanl, wlm was a witness to an agreement made between
Alan de Pennington and t'ic monks of Funics*, touching the partition of
pasture in land lying in Pennington,- about the year 1180, and was probably
the younger brother and successor of William son of Efward, or Eward, to
whom Michael le Firming gave the above half team land in Urswick hi

NOTES.
Kuerden's copy of this charter is somewhat corrupt, so that the last clause before the witnesses' names is not quite intelligible. It is a confirm- ation by Theobald Walter of the vill of Wesham to Roger de Heaton to hold by the service of 4«.} payable by equal instalments at the four usual terms of the year, for all service. This charter was obtained by Roger after the Hundred of Amounderness had been granted by King Richard to Theobald (vide Series XX., No. VI.) in the year 1194. It was the usual practice of those who had been enfeoffed of lands belonging to a mesne tenant to obtain a confirmation from the chief lord of such feoffments whenever a change occurred in the ownership of the fee. The corrupt clause seems to provide
440 THE LANCASHIRE CHARTULARY.
against Roger or his heirs claiming compensation or an equivalent estate from Theobald or Ins lieii-s in case the former lost this vill, unless they were deprived of it by Theobald or his heirs.
Of the witnesses, live out of the first six attested Theobald's grant of the Hay of Pilling to Cockersand Abl>ey (vuie Cockersand Chartulary, VoL II., p. 375). The first is unintelligible. The others are all Lancashire free tenants in Lonsdale, Ainounderness and Leyland. Perhaps the two last are intenled fur Ralph de Farinton and Richard de Walton.

NOTES.
.Reference to the Cockersand Chartulary, Vol. I., p. 168, shows that Medlar descended from Roger, son of Orm, son of Magnus to his daughter Cecily, who married firstly Benedict Gernet, who died in 1206, and secondly Elias de Stiveton, lord of Steeton, co. York, by whom she had issue, Reiner de Stiveton and a daughter Matilda, the grantor, who received Medlar from her father by testamentary bequest together with the mill of Greenhalgh, and the homage and service of Adam de Corney and his heirs for the land of Corney, in Greenhalgh.
These estates Matilda granted or mortgaged in her urgent need to Gilbert Fitz Reinfred for the sum of seven marks, which transaction took place in Gilbert's baronial court of Kirkby Kendal, before Henry de Redman, the seneschal, and the suitors of the court, viz., Lambert de Bussey, lord of Lambrigg ; Adam, son of Roger, lord of Yealand ; Gilbert de Lancaster, lord of Witherslack, Patterdale and Barton ; William de Wiudsore, lord of Heversham, Grayrigg and Morland ; Roger de Burton (of the family of Ashton, of Ashton-under-Lyne), lord of Burton in Kendal ; William, son of Waldeve, lord of Tatham, and of lands in Ul vers ton ; Gamel, the forester of Kendal ; Richard D'awney (?) ; Benedict Gernet ; Ralph de Stiveton L . . . and John, brethren.

NOTES.
This confirmation records that William de Lancaster (Fitz Gilbert) enfeoffed Roger, son of Orm (son of Ail ward), of the land lying between the rivers Lickle and Duddon, in Furness, i.e., Dunnerdale and Seathwaite at some period between 1140 and 1170. Which feoffment his son, the second William de Lancaster, herein confirmed to William de Kirkby-Irleth, son of the said Roger, describing the land as lying "between Licul and Duden, and from Licul over against the mountain unto Dearsgarth, and from the head of the fence upwards unto Calf head and then from Calfhead following over against the mountain unto the head of the valley of Glenscalan (or Glen- salan), thence following unto Wranishals (i.e., Wrynose Hawse), and thence from Duden over against the valley unto Licul." This boundary clearly corresponds with the modern boundary of the township of Dunnerdale and Seathwaite. The service due was only four shillings yearly at Christmas.
The date of the confirmation lay between 1170 and 1 184, probably within five years of the earlier date. The witnesses were the grantor's natural son, Gilbert ; his seneschal or steward, Norman de Redman, of Levens ; Ughtrcd, son of Osulf, probably a Furness man ; William, the chaplain (of Dalton ?) ; Patrick, the Knight, and William de Piemont, who have not been identified.
William de Lancaster III. also confirmed this grant between 1220 and 1246 to Alexander de Kirk by, grandson of the above William, son of Roger de Kirkby. The charter was attested by Lady Agnes, wife of Sir William de Lancaster the grantor, Sir Roger de Lancaster, Sir Matthew de Redman, Sir Robert de Lay burn and Sir Lawrence Fitz Richard, Knights ; and by Roland de Renegil, then seneschal of Kendal ; Alan, son of Orm of Kirkby- Irleth, Ralph, his son, and Richard de Kirkby.1
In another of his MS. volumes, Dr. Kuerden records the abstract of a charter by which " Gilbert, father of William de Lancaster, gave to Roger the Jand between the Licul and Dudun, etc., by rendering four shillings."* Apparently this refers to a grant even earlier than those referred to, and of a date before 1140. The abstract, however, being very brief, it would be unwise to draw from it any serious deduction.
