In Houton' [Hanging Houghton], of the 

 fee of St. Edmund, i hide." There also 



in Domesday as appurtenant here to Geoffrey 

 de Wirce's manor of Welford. This is an 

 entry of importance, because it implies that 

 Roger de Mowbray had been preceded in his 

 tenure of the forfeited lands of Geoffrey de 

 Wirce by his father Nigel de Albini.

 the last three.

 where it is held by William Peverel. The

'® This entry identifies as Aubrey de Vere 

 the ' Albericus ' who held 3 virgates there of 

 the bishop of Coutances in io86. Compare 

 p. 362 and note '' on p. 367 above. 



" The same in Domesday (i hide and 3 

 virgates). 



" Held in 1086 by Countess Judith as 2 

 hides and I virgate. 



" This entry illustrates by the Earl's name 

 the corruptness of the text in places. I have 

 shown above (p. 362) that the above holding 

 probably includes the 2f hides held, with 3 

 virgates at Scaldwell, by ' Aubrey ' of the 

 bishop of Coutances, although Domesday 

 assigns them to Wadenhoe. The addition 

 of the Crown's share of Wold would about 

 give him the holding, which is represented in 

 the text by that of his heir, Aubrey earl of 

 Oxford. 



^° This was the King's in Domesday, and 

 had been granted to Balliol since. 



" Held of the Countess Judith by Fulcher, 

 as 3 hides and 3 virgates, in 1086.
