Feudal England: Historical Studies on the Eleventh and Twelfth Centuries

by John Horace Round

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.
