There also in Domesday as appurtenant here to Geoffrey de Wirce's manor of Welford. This is an entry of importance, because it implies that Roger de Mowbray had been preceded in his tenure of the forfeited lands of Geoffrey de Wirce by his father Nigel de Albini. ' As in Domesday. ^ Held by William Peverel, as i^ virgates, in 1086. ' Held of the count of Mortain by William (de Cahagnes) as half a hide in 1086.
- Appurtenant to Geoffrey de Wirce's
manor of Welford, as 2 virgates, in 1086. It should be observed that the total of the holdings is 4 hides in this Survey, as in Domesday. Yet the figures are different for the last three. ^ The same in Domesday. ® Entered in Domesday as 3 virgates. The same in Domesday.
- Entered in Domesday as dependent on
Cotton(-under-Guilsborough). ^ Domesday enters this half hide as a second holding of William Peverel there. '* Entered as 3^ virgates in Domesday, where it is held by William Peverel. The tenant is the Robert 'Alegod' of the Win- wick entry, and the Robert ' Fitz Alegod ' of the Thornby one. " Domesday makes it i hide and half a virgate. 'Rocinus' I hide and 3 virgates of the fee of Berkamstede.'^ There also i hide and i virgate of the fee of king David." In Langeport [Lamport] Simon Males- ov[er]es 4 hides of the fee of Wahill'.'* There also of the socage of St. Edmund half a hide.'* In Scaldewell' Aubrey [Alhrem] 3 great virgates of the fee of Oxford.'® There also of the fee of St. Edmund 1 hide (and) a half and I great virgate.

'* Entered as i virgate and I bovate in Domesday (Domesday also assigns i bovate there to Countess Judith). '® This entry identifies as Aubrey de Vere the ' Albericus ' who held 3 virgates there of the bishop of Coutances in io86. Compare p. 362 and note on p. 367 above. " The same in Domesday (i hide and 3 virgates). " Held in 1086 by Countess Judith as 2 hides and I virgate. " This entry illustrates by the Earl's name the corruptness of the text in places. I have shown above (p. 362) that the above holding probably includes the 2f hides held, with 3 virgates at Scaldwell, by ' Aubrey ' of the bishop of Coutances, although Domesday assigns them to Wadenhoe. The addition of the Crown's share of Wold would about give him the holding, which is represented in the text by that of his heir, Aubrey earl of Oxford. ^° This was the King's in Domesday, and had been granted to Balliol since. " Held of the Countess Judith by Fulcher, as 3 hides and 3 virgates, in 1086. 380
