¶ Messire Ninzian of Yair, the High Bailiff of Upper Ardra, held Val-Ardray in the East.
¶ Messire Holden of Nérac, Earl Marshal of St. Tara, held Belpaysage.
¶ Messire Anavalt of Fomor, the Portreeve and Warden of Manneville, held Belpaysage Le Bas.
¶ Messire Coth of the Rocks, Alderman of St. Didol, held Haut Belpaysage.
¶ Messire Guivric of Perdigon, Heitman of Asch, held Piemontais.
¶ Messire Miramon of Ranec, Lord Seneschal of Gontaron, held Duardenois.
Likewise there were the fiefs of Dom Meunier, Count of Montors, Dom Manuel’s brother-in-law. Meunier was not of this fellowship: he held also Giens. Here his wife ruled over Lower Duardenois.
¶ Othmar Black-Tooth, whom some called Othmar the Lawless, long held Valnères and Ogde, until Manuel routed him: thereafter these villages, with the most of Bovion, stayed masterless.
¶ Helmas the Deep-Minded, after a magic was put upon him in the year of grace 1255, held, in his fashion, the high place at Brunbelois: but the rest of Acaire, once Lorcha had been taken and Sclaug burned, was no man’s land. Also upon Upper Morven lived disaffected persons in defiance of all law and piety.
