Chapter XXV: Conclusion (8)

Robert fitz Richard and his children (see p. 389) are included in this pedigree, in order to show that their ages present no chronological difficulty, and that the length of time they survived him is clearly due to his marrying rather late in life.

Page 388. I have identified a third fine, since this book was in type, as belonging to the great circuits of 1176. It proves that they began early in the year.

As a corollary to my conclusions on pp. 386-7, I should like to allude to the well-known changes in 1178-80. Great importance is attached to the passage in the _Gesta Regis Henrici_, which describes how the king selected five justices 'de privata familia sua' in the place of the eighteen previously appointed, who as I read the passage, were to accompany his court. I cannot think that this reform, if it took place, enured, for the central body that we really meet with from 1179 onwards is, it seems to me, distinctly different. It consists of the Bishops of Winchester, Ely, and Norwich, whom, says R. de Diceto, in a passage to which the Bishop of Oxford rightly draws attention, Henry, in 1179, appointed 'archijustitiarios regni', with Glanvill, who soon became a chief justiciar with them. These four continue to hold a position severed from that of the other justices, of whom some act with them at one time and some at another. The earliest appearance at present known to me of this well-defined central group is at Oxford, February 11, 1180. We there find the three bishops associated with five justices, headed by Ranulf Glanvill, recorded on a fine. Now, we happen to know that the king was at Oxford about this very time, for he decided there on the issue of his new coinage.[4] His presence would account for this gathering of the four leading justiciars, so that we need not hesitate to connect the two phenomena. We have then here record evidence of the true _personnel_ at the time of the central judicial body, together with the fact of its presence with the king, the fact which had not till now been proved, on his progress through the land.

[Footnote 1: A, B, and C give this figure as 3 (p 141). Their
own title requires 4.]

[Footnote 2: A, B, and C give this figure as 3 (p. 141), but
elsewhere (wrongly) as 4 (p. 101).]

[Footnote 3: A gives this figure as 6 (p. 101), but B and C,
rightly, as 7.]

[Footnote 4: So Eyton (p. 230), not giving his authority; nor
have I found it.]

Transcriber's Note:

^ denotes a superscript.

The ligature æ is not necessarily consistent in its use, e.g.
'mediæval' is used more in Part I of this book, but not in Part II;
'mediaeval' is used in both parts.

The original book contained a Foreword, which is not present in the
scans from which this book derives.

'Foreword ... page 7' has been removed from the Table of Contents.

Page 51: Text and table were slightly re-arranged for better flow.

Page 138: 'Lincolnshire' could be an error for 'Lincolnescire'
or 'Lincolnescira', both appearing on page 137.

(p. 137): "Hugh Candidus wrote of the former:

Heres Galfridi de Nevile tenet in Lincolnescire,..."

Page 251: "as we gather from Florence [?] ..."

64 Floriacensis Vigorinensis: John of Worcester (fl. 1095-1140),
chronicler, the author of the world history formerly attributed to
Florence of Worcester.

Survives in five twelfth-century manuscripts.

COMPILED BY HENRY SUMMERSON [http://www.cems.ox.ac.uk/holinshed/
Catalogue%20of%20principal%20sources.....pdf]

'Stamford Bridge' and 'Stamfordbridge' both appear more than once
in this book, and in the First edition. Two instances of
'Stamfordbridge' have been corrected to 'Stamford Bridge', to
correspond to the First edition.

Page 323 (in Chaper 'REGENBALD, PRIEST AND CHANCELLOR'): A Charter
in Anglo-Saxon has been restored from the 1st edition (1895).

Anglo-Saxon letters in this Charter include:

þ = (lower-case) thorn;
[W] representing Capital Wynn;
[w] representing lower-case wynn;
ð = (lower-case) eth;
[þt] representing thorn with stroke, an abbreviation for þæt

þ and ð are also used elsewhere in the book.

Page 381: The printer has used a symbol to simulate a mediaeval
scribe's abbreviarion of 'et'.

This has been replaced in this .txt version of the book by [et].

Pages 412-415: The 2-page table which interrupted the text has been
removed to the end of the chapter (as it was in the First edition),
and the page numbers and footnote numbers amended.

As the table is spread across two pages, line numbers have been
added to connect the two pages.

The column headings run:
_Granted_ _at_ _Confirmed_ _at_ _Grantee_ _Authority_

Line 1. of the first table is followed by line 1. of the second
table, and so on. The brackets between lines 6. and 7. have been
removed, and the common information duplicated, to enable the two
sets of line-numbers to co-relate.

Page 432: 'enured' = 'inured' = (legal) 'took effect', etc.

Errata:

Many printer's errors, nearly all absent from the first edition,
appear to have been introduced by a careless printer working from a
copy of the first edition. Abbreviated titles, 'Mr.', 'Prof.', etc.,
in the First edition have mostly appeared in this edition as 'Mr',
'Prof', etc. These have been retained. Incorrect punctuation has
been repaired without comment, except in the Index. Here the printer
of this edition has replaced many of the colons of the First edition
with commas, and added extra commas after sub-listings. These have
been retained. Double quotes were used in the first edition; single
quotes in this edition. This has led to some confusion where ' is
used for both an abbreviation and a following end quote ('').
Other errors are listed below.

'A. IV' corrected to 'C. IV' (Wrong in 1895 ed., correct in

"Mr Elton, in his well-known _Tenures of Kent_, attaches
considerable importance to a list, 'De Suylingis Comitatus Kantiæ
et qui eas tenent;...' in the Cottonian MS., Claud. C. IV, which
he placed little subsequent to Domesday."

Page 96: 'numquam' and 'nunquam' are interchangeable; they both mean
'never', or 'not'.

Page 96: 'indominio' corrected to 'in dominio', (as 1895 ed.).

"Rex tenet in dominio _Basingestoches_."

Page 101: 'p. 61' corrected to 'p. 60'.

"in those Worcestershire Manors which were annexed as estates to
Hereford, but which were assessed in those Worcestershire Hundreds

Page 107: Missing tag for footnote 219 added to page (as 1895 ed.).

Page 116: '_brere_' corrected to '_breve_'.

"et sunt scriptæ in _breve regis_ (i. 178)."

Page 117: "... by by...." First 'by' replaced with 'but'.

"is arranged not by Hundreds but by fiefs."

Page 117: 'dermodesdun a' corrected to 'dermodesduna', (as 1895
ed.).

"In dermodesduna tenuerunt xxv. liberi homines...."

Page 122: 'Huntington' corrected to 'Huntingdon', (as 1895 ed.).

"and Henry of Huntingdon states that '... inter thesauros reposita
usque hodie servantur'."

Page 147: 'hidæet' corrected to 'hidæ et'.

"Summa lx. hidæ et dimidia."

Page 151: '1212' corrected to '1122'.

"Consequently Hugh, the youngest brother, can have been only a boy
in 1122."

Page 151: '50' corrected to '60'.

"... two knights' fees of Stafford in 1166,[59] and that another
is Robert Bagot, who held a quarter of a fee,[60] while Geoffrey
Ridel himself then held one, namely, Madeley.[61]"

Page 161: 'ed' corrected to 'de'. (Roger de Moubray)

"In Picwell et in Lucerthorp de feudo Rogeri de Moubray xv. car."

Page 173: 'June 31st'. This agrees with the 1895 ed., but may refer
to a document of 1st July, 1176. (see page 388, paragraph beginning:
"Having now traced the royal _iter_, of which the pleas are....").

Page 177: 'Comitis[is]' corrected to 'Comit[is]', to match similar.

"In Evenle i. hid. et i. parvam virg. de feodo Comit[is]
Leyc[estrie]."

Page 189 (et seq.): 'I. THE CARTAE OF 1166'. The 3rd impression
agrees with the 1st Edition (1895). Subsequent 'cartæ' in this
chapter (3rd impression) do not. All instances of 'cartæ' in this
chapter have been corrected to 'cartae', as 1895 ed.

Page 208, Footnote 106: 'Gnesit' corrected to 'Gneist'.

"[Footnote 106: Gneist, _C.H._, i. 129, 156.]"

Page 212: _cartae_ corrected to '_carta_.

"For while the _carta_ of William de Braose returns twenty-eight
fees,..."

sed in rotulo praecedenti dicitur:--Abbas Gloucestriæ debet
xxxviij. l. ij. s. vj. d. de veteri scutagio Walliae."

Page 213: 'Charteris Abbey' corrected to 'Chatteris Abbey'.

Chatteris is a town about ten miles from Ely. Charteris appears to
be in Scotland. r/t is a not uncommon printer's error in older
books.

Page 215, Footnote 128: 'millitum' corrected to 'militum'.

"So too Bishop Wulfstan is found 'pompam militum secum ducens qui
stipendiis annuis', etc. (W. Malmesb.)"

Page 217: 'Archibishop' corrected to 'Archbishop'.

"... Archbishop Theobald...."

Page 224, Footnote 161: This edition used single quotes, where
earlier editions used double quotes. Sometimes this leads to
confusion:

'Episcopus de Heref' reddit compotum de lxxvi. libris et v.
solidis de promiss[ione] c. Servientium de Wal'' (p. 84).

where the following would have been clearer:

[... "Episcopus de Heref' reddit compotum de lxxvi. libris et v.
solidis de promiss[ione] c. Servientium de Wal'" (p. 84).]

(Heref' and Wal' are abbreviations).

Page 230: 'restoring' corrected to 'resorting'.

"It is a hopeless undertaking to reconcile the facts with the wild
figures of mediæval historians by resorting to the ingenious
devices of apocalyptic interpretation." (as 1895 ed.)

Page 253, Footnote 22: 'pa' corrected to 'þa', as in 1895 ed.

"... but the words of the Worcester chronicler 'þa castelmenn on
Hereforda' seem to fix the meaning to the city itself'"

Page 254: 'Althelings' corrected to 'Athelings', as in 1895 ed.

"The two former would naturally be given to godsons or dependants
of the two Athelings while in Normandy [_i.e._ after 1013]."

Page 254: 'Britio' corrected to 'Brito' as in 1895 ed.

"... we have another Breton tenant-in-chief, 'Alvredus Brito'."

Page 255: 'Al veredus' corrected to 'Alveredus'.

"... et Hispaniensis Alveredus, cum aliis compluribus."

Page 256: 'Leibermann' corrected to 'Liebermann'.

"I can now, by the kindness of Dr Liebermann, add the instance of
the Mandeville fief in Surrey,..."

Page 256: 'Wesmam' corrected to 'Wesman' as in 1895 ed.

"'De his hidis tenet Wesman vi. hidas de Goisfrido filio comitis

Page 369, Footnote 4: Three instances of 'Nunant' corrected to
'Nonant', as 1895 ed.

[1st ed. has Nunant for the previous 3 occurrences of the name, but
Nonant here and the next 2 occurrences. Possibly the variation may
be deliberate and reflect the spelling in the sources.]

Page 371: There would appear to be some error here. The family
tree (also in the 1st ed.) disagrees with the text, where Dolfin
is said to be the son of Uchtred and brother of Eadwulf.

Page 442: Index numbers: 555, 558-60 removed. Correct for First
Edition; too high for 3rd Impression.

Index: The Index was unreliable.

Though most page numbers were correct, some page numbers belonged
to the first edition, and had not been correctly translated, or
not removed after translation; some were merely incorrect. All
page numbers were checked, and retained, amended, or deleted
without TN comment, except where the error was not simply numerical.

As the Footnotes have now been removed from the ends of pages to
the ends of Chapters, there is no longer the connection from the
Index page reference to a footnote, which may have held the only
information on the page to the Index topic. Accordingly, where the
information sought is only in the footnote, the footnote number, as
a superscript, has been added to the page number in the Index, e.g.

"Ellis, Mr A. S., 249^{7}, 257^{43}"

Index: 'Feif' corrected to 'Fief'.

"Barnstaple, Fief of,..."

Index: 'Beauchamp, Maud de, 156, 158-9'.

The reference to p. 158 is to 'Matilda Beauchamp'. 'Matilda' and
'Maud' were apparently interchangeable, so this reference would
be correct.

However, p. 159 has:

"... in their rivalry for Tamworth,[36] the Marmions embraced
the cause of Stephen, and the Beauchamps that of Maud, their
variance being terminated under Henry II by a matrimonial
alliance."

Surely this Maud is not Maud de Beauchamp, as the entry implies,
but the Empress Maud, daughter, and surviving heir, of Henry I,
and mother of Henry II; and bitter rival of her cousin, Stephen
of Blois, crowned King of England, while she was not quite
crowned Queen.

Index: 'Couut' corrected to 'Count'.

"Fitz Count, Brian,..."

Index: 'Hamslape' corected to 'Hanslape'.

"Hanslape, Michael de, 179"

Index: 'Knight's-fees' corrected to 'Knight's fees', as 1895 ed.
