' At Hargrave Domesday mentions only 

 half a hide, which Eustace held of William 

 Peverel. 



^ This holding, as i hide and i virgate, 

 was ' in demesne ' at the time of Domesday. 

 It must be the 'one hide and one virgate ' 

 which Ascelin (de Waterville) is found hold- 

 ing by payment of ten shillings a year, apart 

 from the manors which he held by knight- 

 service. {Chronicon Petroburgense, p. I 70.) 



' This appears to represent the 2\ virgates 

 there held in 1086, not by the lord of 

 ' Wahill,' but by ' Robert ' under the count of 

 Mortain. Domesday assigns also to William 

 Peverel i^ hides ' de soca ' there. 



* Domesday assigns to the bishop of Cou- 

 tances 6 hides and a virgate and a half in 

 Raunds and 5 hides in Denford. These 

 holdings had been broken up since his fief 

 had escheated to the Crown, and this Survey 

 treats of Denford under Ringstead and Cotton 

 (see also p. 389 below). 



* The entry 'Robert the King's son' must 

 have been made before Robert was created 

 earl of Gloucester. 



* This must represent the i hide and 3

* Held by ' Richard ' of the abbot of Peter- 

 borough in 1086. 



^ So also in Domesday. 



'" Entered as 2 hides in Domesday. 



" These entries are very obscure. Domes- 

 day gives under Harpole only 2^ hides which 

 were held by William Peverel. It would 

 seem as if the text of this Survey were cor- 

 rupt. In that case its meaning may be that 

 of 4 hides in Harpole, Peter held li of the 

 fee of Belvoir, while the rest (2i) was of the 

 fee of Peverel. But the former holding can- 

 not be found in Domesday. 



'« Held by Gilbert de ' Gand ' in 1086. 



'3 Part of the Mortain fief in 1086. 



'* Held by the count of Mortain in 1086.
