of Fees, which were most of them made between Herbert's 

 succession and his death, much vahiable evidence is obtained as to 

 the terms under which his lands were held. An early report from 

 the hundreds of Hampshire sets forth the division of Warblington 

 between Matthew Fitz-Herbert and William Agoerlling in 1205, 

 showing that Matthew had two-thirds, and a later report shows 

 that the son held under Warblington the sub-manor of Eastney.^ 

 In Wiltshire he held Erlestoke and Yatesbury for one knight's 

 fee, and in the latter lie had four tenants by military service 

 owing him respectively a tenth, a quarter, a sixth, and a fifth part 

 of a fee.- In Devonshire Chittlehampton was held for one fee of 

 the Earl of Gloucester and may be that which Herbert's father 

 held in 1210—12, and his grandfather in 1166 : ^ Worthele, Coleton, 

 and Zujjcrinr/ were held of Keginald de Valletort, the two first of 

 the honour of Totton and the last of the honour of Trematon, in 

 Cornwall, of whom Matthew Fitz-Herljert also held two knights' 

 fees : * Huntsbeare was held of the King without any service, and 

 in Stafford and Aylcenncod Herbert liad enfeoffed one Michael de 

 Suthcoth of one thirty-second of a fee which he also held of the 

 King : ^ the manor of Oakford he held of Reginald de Mohun : 

 Little Modbury, which he had sublet to Kalph the lied, was a

 ham and Aveton were held of the honour of Plympton of the Earl 

 of Devon.*^ The honour of Plympton is said to have been granted 

 by Henry I. to Richard, the father of the Baldwin de Redvers, 

 first Earl of Devon,^ and Earl Baldwin was the close friend of 

 Stephen de Mandeville, who was the grandfather of Herbert Fitz-
