second time to Matthew Fitz-Herbert,a son of Herbert Fitz-Herbert, 
one of the Chamberlains to Henry I.! Matthew received as the 
dower of his wife the fief of Olonde in Normandy ? and the manor 
of Erlestoke.* He seems also to have come into possession of the 
manor of Stokenham (Devon) in the same way, for his charter is 
found in the Cartulary of Montebourg confirming a grant of land 
in the neighbouring parish of Strete. This had been before con- 
firmed by Roger de Mandeville, and was now confirmed “ by the 
_wish.and with the consent of Johanna Patrick his wife.” 
On the death of Matthew Fitz-Herbert in 1231, his widow, Joan, 
the last of the Erlestoke De Mandevilles, surrendered all the lands 
which she and Matthew had held of her inheritance, in favour of 
Herbert Fitz-Matthew, their son and heir.’
