HUNDRED OF KNOSSINGTON " 

 In the same vill 2 carucates of the honour of 



as in possession of the archbishop's land. In 1086 

 Tur Langton was held of the archbishop by one 

 Walchelin and had been sublet by him to an equally 

 unknown Herbert. Neither of these men can be 

 connected with Hugh de Port, Henry's Domesday 

 predecessor. 



3 In 1086 Hugh de Grentemaisnil, the earl's 

 predecessor, only held 4 carucates in Shangton, in 

 which vill, however, the king possessed z carucates as 

 sokeland to great Bowden. 



9 Held by Robert de Veci in 1086. 



10 Held by Robert de Veci in 1086. 



11 In Domesday Robert Dispensator, the uncle of 

 Walter de Beauchamp's wife, is credited with I if 

 carucates in Kibworth, a sum which apparently 

 includes part of the carucate assigned below to Rich- 

 ard Basset. 



12 See the previous note. 



13 Held by Hugh de Grentemaisnil in 1086. 



14 See next note. 



ls In Domesday Hugh de Grentemaisnil is assigned 

 1 1 carucates in Carlton Curlieu. This sum includes 

 the 10 carucates ascribed to the earl of Leicester in 

 the present survey and also the I J carucates possessed 

 by the monks of St. ' Arnulph.' The latter name is 

 clearly a scribal error (Arnulphi for Ebrulfi), for in or 

 before 1082 Hugh de Grentemaisnil had given 5 

 virgates in the present vill to the famous abbey of 

 St. Evroul. It will be noted that the assessment of 

 Hugh de Grentemaisnil's portion of Carlton Curlieu 

 in Domesday is less by one bovate than the sum 

 discussed in the present note. 



16 In 1086 the king possessed 6 bovates in this vill 

 belonging to the soke of Great Bowden. 



17 This hundred lies quite apart from the main 

 body of Gartree wapentake, to which it belongs, and 

 itself falls into three divisions which are geographically 

 separate from each other; first, a group of 30 \ caru- 

 cates round Owston and Newbold ; secondly, the 1 5 

 carucates assigned to Pickwell and Leesthorpe which 

 form an island in Framland wapentake; and thirdly 

 the vill of Baggrave (;$ carucates), in the civil parish 

 of Hungerton in the wapentake of Gosecote. 



In the other Marefield 3 carucates. 2

18 Held by Roger de Busli in 1086. 



19 Domesday does not assign any land in Knossington 

 to Henry de Ferrers, Robert's predecessor, but it 

 states that the king possessed 3 carucates there 

 belonging to Oakham soke. These 3 carucates may 

 represent part of the above. 



80 Held by the Countess Judith in 1086. 



" Including the 14 carucates which Geoffrey de 

 Wirce possessed in Pickwell and Leesthorpe in 

 1086.

 estate in Newbold.

 to Robert Dispensator, the Marmion predecessor 

 elsewhere. But see below, p. 351.
