[2] Inquisition post mortem of William de Lancaster, 1246.
[3] Bishop Browne in Theodore and Wilfrith, pp. 20 and 36, inclines to the opinion that this sub-kingdom embraced the western rather than the southern portion of Northumbria, as generally supposed, in which case it would include those portions of Lancashire and the western coasts northwards, laid open by Ethelfrith's conquest at Chester.
[4] See Theodore and Wilfrith. The same.
[5] For the meaning and scope of these early gifts to the church, which not only embraced whole villages, but even hundreds and provinces, see Maitland's Doomsday Book and Beyond, p. 498.
[6] See Rhys' Celtic Britain for a suggestion that Edwin's conquest and Teyrnllwg may represent a considerable portion of our district, also "Rydal" in Westmorland Gazette, May 2nd, 1903. Mr. Farrer, while noticing this point in Victorian History of Lancashire, vol. ii., considers that better authority could be desired. For the list of names of gifts to Ripon that have come down to us, see Canon Raine's Historians of the Church of York. Amounderness, between the Ribble and the Cocker, is one. Cartmel is probably another. The region "dunutinga" may possibly be referred to the Duddon and beyond, where still are manor and fells called Dunnerdale, and the hamlet of Old Dunning Well and Dumerholme. Donya is the name of some explored earthworks at the junction of Bannisdale beck with the Mint, north of Kendal. "Goedyne" suggests "Gadeni" or "Cadeni," a name applied to the people of the Borders. See Prof. Veitch's History and Poetry of Scottish Borders. The lands of William de Dunnington are mentioned in the Furness Abbey Coucher Book, ccviii.
[7] In 1140 Alan, earl of Richmond is stated to have oppressed Ripon; and in 1143 he assaulted Archbishop William by the shrine of St. Wilfrith within the church. Mem. of Ripon. Surtees Society.
