ADDENDA
Pages [20], [107]. In case I should not have made sufficiently clear my views as to the filiation of the Domesday MSS., it may be well to explain that what I deny on p. [21] is that the Inq. Com. Cant. and the Inq. El. can both have been copied from a third document intermediate between them and the original returns. But, as I state on pp. [20], [123], it cannot be proved that the Inq. Com. Cant. was itself transcribed direct from the original returns, as it might, possibly, be only a copy of an earlier transcript of these returns.
Page [30]. A remarkable instance of the occasional untrustworthiness of the figures given in these texts is afforded by the Manors of Stretham and Wilburton, co. Cambridgeshire, which were farmed together. The correct figures for their ploughteams were these:
| Dominium | Homines | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stretham | 4[1] | 5 | 9 |
| Wilburton | 3[2] | 4 | 7[3] |
| — | — | ||
| 7 | 9 |
The footnotes show the errors.
Thus the A text, which is the best known, gives two figures out of three wrongly for Wilburton, and Mr Pell, by accepting as genuine these two erroneous figures, was led to quite erroneous conclusions.
Pages [68]-9. The parallel for this system of counting by threes and sixes is found in the wergild of Scandinavia, with its rétt of 3 marcs, or 6, or 12, the 6 or the 12 aurar, the 12 ells or the 12 feet of vadmal.
For the formulæ on p. [68] an instructive parallel is found in the Frostathing's Law:
If a haulld wounds a man, he is liable to pay 6 baugar(rings) to the king, and 12 aurar are in each ring ... a lendrmann 12, a jarl 24, a king 48, 12 aurar being in each ring.
Thus we find in Scandinavia the counterpart of the system of counting found in the 'Danish' districts of England, just as we find in Angeln and Ditmarsh the counterpart of the 'hide', with its four 'yards', found in southern England (Archæologia, xxxvii. 380).
Page [105]. For the election of juratores we may compare the Abingdon Abbey case, under Henry II: 'ex utroque parte seniores viri eligerentur qui secundum quod eis verum videretur ... jurarent; ... segregati qui jurarent diversis opinionibus causam suam confundebant'. For juries of eight or sixteen we may compare Jocelin de Brakelonde's narrative of a suit for an advowson in 1191: 'delatum est juramentum per consensum utriusque partis sexdecim legalibus de hundredo'.
Page [126]. Compare here Mr Freeman's text (iii. 413-4):
There can be little doubt that William's ravages were not only done systematically, but were done with a fixed and politic purpose.... It is impossible to doubt that the systematic harrying of the whole country round Hastings was done with the deliberate purpose of provoking the English king.... The work was done with a completeness which shows that it was something more than the mere passing damage wrought by an enemy in need of food.
Domesday is appealed to, as in the Appendix, for this view.
Page [205]. Though I have spoken in the text of William de Montfichet, following, like Dugdale, the Liber Niger, I have since found that the tenant of the fief, in 1166, was his son Gilbert, the carta being wrongly assigned in the Liber Niger itself to William. There are similar and instructive errors to be found in it.
Page [244]. The succession of Schelin, the Domesday under-tenant by his son Robert, in 1095 identifies the former with Schelin, the Dorset tenant-in-chief, from whom Shilling Ockford took its name, and who was succeeded in Dorset also by his son Robert (Montacute Cartulary).
Pages [293]-4. To guard (as I have to do at every turn) against misrepresentation, I may explain that the Battle Chronicle is the primary authority I follow for the feigned flight. Its words 'fugam, cum exercitu duce simulante', distinctly assert that the Duke himself, with the main body of his army, 'turned in seeming flight'. It must, surely, be because this evidence is quite opposed to Mr Freeman's view that he ignored it in his text (pp. 488-90). The essential point to grasp, according to my own view, is that a detachment, told off for the purpose, thrust itself between the pursuing English and the hill to cut off their retreat, and that the main body of the Normans then faced about. The English, one may add, are hardly likely to have ventured down into the plain unless the feigned flight was so general as to make them think they could safely do so.
Pages [311]-12. 'Mainly from oral tradition.' This refers, of course, to Mr Archer's contention.
Page [356]. On the great influence, by their connection, of the Clares see also the Becket Memorials (iii. 43), where Fitz Stephen writes (1163):
Illi autem comiti de Clara fere omnes nobiles Angliæ propinquitate adhærebant, qui et pulcherrimam totius regni sororem habebat, quam rex aliquando concupierat.
We are reminded here of the curious story in the Monasticon (iv. 608) that, some forty years before, Roheis de Clare, the wife of Eudo Dapifer, was, on his death (1120), destined by her brethren for the second wife of Henry I, a story which illustrates, at least, the position attributed to the family.
Pages [357]-8. The Montfichet match is not shown in the chart pedigree, nor is the important marriage of Adeliza, another daughter of Gilbert (fitz Richard) de Clare, to Aubrey de Vere, the Chamberlain, which is well ascertained (Geoffrey de Mandeville, pp. 390-2). By him she had inter alios a daughter, with the Clare name of 'Rohese', who married Geoffrey de Mandeville, first Earl of Essex (ibid.). The existence of this Adeliza may be held to be against my affiliation of 'Adelidis de Tunbridge', which avowedly is only a conjecture.
Page [360]. A chart pedigree is here given to illustrate the connection of Robert fitz Richard (de Clare), through his wife, with the Earls of Northampton and the Scottish kings:
Robert fitz Richard and his children (see p. [359]) 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.
[1] A, B, and C give this figure as 3 (p 141). Their own title requires 4.
[2] A, B, and C give this figure as 3 (p. 141), but elsewhere (wrongly) as 4 (p. 101).
[3] A gives this figure as 6 (p. 101), but B and C, rightly, as 7.
[4] So Eyton (p. 230), not giving his authority; nor have I found it.

Transcriber's Note
The Family Trees or Pedigrees in this book have been supplied as .png images. If readers have difficulty seeing them on mobile or handheld devices, they are available as text in the .txt version.
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. Holinshed's last citation is under 1115, ... ~ CATALOGUE OF PRINCIPAL SOURCES USED IN 1577 EDITION OF HOLINSHED'S CHRONICLES 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 correspont 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;
- Ƿ = Capital Wynn;
- ƿ = lower-case wynn;
- ð = lower-case eth;
- ꝥ (in compliant browsers) = thorn with stroke, an abbreviation for þæt [þt].
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 book by the Tironian (Irish) 'et': ⁊ (Enlarged: ⁊ )
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.
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.

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]).
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'."

Page 217: 'Archibishop' corrected to 'Archbishop'.
"... Archbishop Theobald...."
Page 224, Footnote 161: This edition used single quotes, where earlier editions used double quotes. The use of single quotes can lead 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 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 377: 'notros' corrected to 'nostros', as 1895 ed.
"... et servientes vel ministri provinciarum, et homines nostros manutenuerint,..."

"... suis heredibus villam de Aynho cum omnibus pertinen[ciis]...."

"Robertus Stephanides ... Inter cæteros Herveius de Montemaurisco Roberti patruus, nepoti suo se comitem præbuit (p. 77)."
Page 400: 'sevitium' corrected to 'servitium', as 1895 ed.
"Scio equidem ad militare servitium domino regi,..."
Page 402, Footnote 18: 'consuelentes' corrected to 'consulentes', as 1895 ed.
"In crastino autem venerunt quidam familiares regis, consulentes abbati ut sibi caute provideret,..."
Page 417, Footnote 2: 'donus' corrected to 'domus', as 1895 ed.

"The actual words (as given by Jeake), confirm to the Ports their liberties as held:..."
Page 430, Footnote 10: 'sitting' corrected to 'silting', as in 1895 ed.
"... but I can find no trace of a haven 'formed by the Bourne between the East and West Hills', which replaced it on its silting-up."
Page 432: 'p. 389' corrected to 'p. 359'.
"Robert fitz Richard and his children (see p. [359]) are included in this pedigree,"

"Hastings, harbour, 427-8, and Footnote 10."
Page 442: Index numbers: 555, 558-60 removed. Correct for First Edition; too high for 3rd Impression.
Index: The Index, in places, was unreliable.
Though most page numbers were correct, some page numbers belonged to the First Edition, and had not been correctly translated to this (re-paged) Third Impression, not translated at all, or not removed after translation; some were merely incorrect, and a few (important) page numbers were absent. All page numbers were checked, and retained, amended, added or deleted without TN comment, except where the error was not simply numerical. (Only some 'missing' page numbers have searched for, been found).
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 for 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 Index 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.
Index: 'Hamslape' corrected to 'Hanslape' (Michael de, [179])
