HUNDRED OF SUTTON 



In the said ('eadem') vill [King's Sutton] 

 the King has in demesne 4 hides.** 



In the same (' eadem ') vill William de 

 Quency I hide (and) a half and a small virgate 

 of land of the earldom (' comitat[u] ') of 

 Leicester.** There also Alfred 8 small vir- 

 gates of Gilbert de Pinkeny.*® There also 

 Payn ('Paganus') I hide and a half and I 

 small virgate of the fee of the earl of Leices- 

 ter.** Robert Fitz Osbert held (it).*' 



* Domesday gives only the half hide of 

 Ramsey Abbey there. 



* This estate was he' i as 3 hides by 

 Reginald son of Berenger le Moyne, in 1 166, 

 of the Abbot, as one knight's fee. 



' Domesday states that '3 knights' held 

 2^ hides of Peterborough Abbey. The above 

 three holdings represent, in all, an excess of 

 half a virgate over 2^ hides. 



* Domesday only allows 5 hides to Arm- 

 ston and Kingsthorpe together, a total exceeded 

 in this Survey by Armston alone. The above 

 holdings, therefore, are difficult to identify. 



* Entered in Domesday as half a hide held 

 by the Abbey in demesne. 



® 4^ hides in Ashton (in Oundle) were 

 held, in 1086, by the abbot of Peterborough 

 in demesne, but Ivo also held of him half a 

 hide there. Thus there had been a further 

 subinfeudation of half a hide since 1086. 

 The Liber Niger [circ. 1125) shows us Ralf 

 ' Papilio ' and Leofnoth {^Levenothui) holding 

 half a hide apiece in Ashton. 



' So also in Domesday. 



* Abbot Turold is recorded to have given 

 Vivian (of Churchfield) ^ hide in Oundle 

 [Chronicon Petroburgense, p. 175). 



* Stibbington in the north-west corner of 

 Hunts. These two hides were held by his 

 predecessor, Richard (Engaine), as at ' Stabin- 

 tone.' 



'" Held by his predecessor William Fitz 

 Ansculf in 1086. 



** Held by the Abbot as i| hides in 1086. 



** Doubtless appendant to his Easton estate 

 adjoining. 



" Simon de Lindon. This holding had 

 escheated to the Crown on the death of ' Eudo 

 Dapifer,' who had held it, as i^ hides, in 

 1086. 



** Entered as 3 hides in Domesday. 



** Domesday assigns there to Hugh de 

 Grentmaisnil, the earl of Leicester's prede- 

 cessor, one holding corresponding in size with 

 each of the two above, namely, ' a hide and 

 a half and the tenth of a hide.' 



*^ This would seem to represent the 3^ 

 virgates held there, in 1086, by two of the 

 King's almsmen, for 8 'small' virgates 

 would amount to the same. 



" It should be observed that, as at Charlton 

 below, exactly 4 hides are accounted for in 

 this second half of Sutton.
