the Queen-Mother. Here our patient antiquary will turn to his 
law-books to discover whether such pardon carried with it restitution 
to goods and lands, or extended only to personal immunity from 
the consequences of the act. All that we can definitely state, at 
present, is that not long subsequently the whole of the lands which 
can be traced as having formed part of the Foliot inheritance are 
found in the possession of Henry le Tyes. Did they come to him 
by descent, in right of any wife, or by grant from the Crown? 
Not, apparently, by his wife, for we find them subsequently in his 
son’s possession not in his widow’s; if by royal grant, we have - 
failed to find it; not by descent, for we have never seen the arms 
of Foliot quartered by any of the descendants and representatives 
of Henry le Tyes. Next to nothing is known, or at any rate printed, 
that we are aware of, touching the services and descent of Henry le 
Tyes. In the “Complete Peerage” (1896) he is even described as 
“de Tyes,” a misnomer left uncorrected in the ‘“ Corrigenda ”’ 
(1898), and yet the substitution of one letter for another tends to 
conceal what may prove to be the most interesting fact about him. 
And here a whole field of fact is open for the painful antiquary to 
explore. We have all heard of ‘‘ Henry the Almain,” the King’s 
cousin, and of “merchants of Almain” galore. What were the 
precise geographical limits of ‘“Almain’’? And when a man is 
called ‘‘ Teutonicus”’ in a Latin record what place of origin does it 
indicate, and what, strictly, is it the Latin for? Le Tyes? 
Certainly. The same man is called indifferently “ Teutonicus ” 
and ‘“‘le Tyes.” Part of Lydiard Tregoze was called ‘‘ Lydiard 
Tyes.” Follow out its history and you will find it was Foliot land 
and that it came to “le Tyes.” But what was “le Tyes”? Is 
the word French, or English, or Low Dutch, for where? But let 
us leave the question to the antiquary and pass on to Henry le Tyes 
himself. He was summoned to Parliament, and, as a baron, sealed 
the letter to the Pope. Was the letter to the Pope ever sent, and if 
it was, why are there two copies of it in Fetter Lane and none in the 
Vatican? But again leaving this question, in that letter le Tyes 
described himself as ‘“‘dominus de Chilton.” This of course was 
Chilton Folyat. If you turn to the “ Cartulary of the Monastery
