/IDanor ot Ste^nesb^. 



At the Domesday Survey Steinulf appears to have held it 

 under Roger of Poicton. 



In tlie Pipe Ro. of i John we find that William, son of 

 Walchel, paid sixty marks for having hounds for following the 

 hare, the wolf, and the wild cat, and for having the confirmation 

 of the king for the same, and that his woods should not be 

 afforested ; for King Richard I. disafforested them, but did not 

 confirm the act ; and for having the king's confirmation of his 

 lands at Steynesby, which he had by charter of King Henry II. 



About the year 1198, Robert le Sauvage was fined for marrying 

 the daughter of Will, fitz Walchel, or Walkehn. Mr. Yeatman, 

 in his ^' Fiudal History of Derbyshire," states that the charter of 

 King Henry, as well as King John's confirmation of it, are still 

 at Hardwick Hall. 



In the Iiu]. Post. Mart, (anno 27 Edward I., No. 45) it is 

 stated that the "Treasury Rolls" of 7 Henry III. record that 

 Robert le Sauvage surrendered at Swy?ia/m (?), before the king, 

 all his lands which he held in chief, to the use of John Sauvage, 

 his son, who did homage for the same. 



It seems probable from Inq. Pos . Mort., 4 Edward I., that 

 Robert, the first of the Sauvages of Steynesby, acquired this 

 manor by his marriage with Andeluya, the heiress of William 

 fitz Walchel, for we find that on the death of her son, John 

 Sauvage, she was entitled to one third of the manor for her 

 dowry ; and that Hawysia, the wife of John the son, was entitled 

 to a third of the two remaining shares. 



The succession of the Sauvages will be better seen from the 

 accompanying pedigree than from a detailed account. 



In the Inq. Post. Mort. of 4 Edward I., the manor was held 

 in chief, and in socage, at the yearly rent of a soar sparrow 

 hawk for all services. The manor was then worth ;^2o 13s. 6d. 

 yearly. The hawk might be compounded for by 2s. paid into 

 the exchequer. Anno 27 Edward I., the manor house and 

 garden were valued at 3s. per annum. There were fifty acres of
