 Regis)" 



In HALLESTED [Halstead] Norman de Verdon

a These entries present great difficulty. Thorpe 

 Satchville is not mentioned by name in Domesday, 

 and in view of the tendency for the assessments of 

 1086 to be lower than those recorded in the present 

 document, it is not easy to believe that the iyf 

 carucates above are distributed in Domesday among 

 other manors in the neighbourhood. It seems more 

 probable that the Domesday scribes have inadvertently 

 omitted the statistics relating to Thorpe Satchville, as 

 they have almost certainly done in the case of Eaton 

 below. 



33 4 \ carucates are assigned by Domesday to Twy- 

 ford as belonging to Rothley soke. 



31 It has not been possible to identify these 10 

 bovates in Domesday. 



3i Domesday gives 4^ carucates here to Robert 

 Dispensator. 



36 Including the 4^ carucates held in this vill by 

 Geoffrey de Wirce in 1086. 



i7 Domesday assigns 2 carucates to the king in 

 Tilton. 



34 Held by Robert Dispensator in 1086. 

 39 As in Domesday. 



10 This may possibly include the half carucate 

 which Herbert 'serviens' held here in 1086. 



41 Domesday assigns 6 carucates in Cold Newton to 

 Geoffrey de Wirce. 



43 Including the 9 carucates held by the Countess 

 Judith in 1086. 



13 The king possessed a manor of 3 carucates in 

 Whatborough in 1086. The distinction between 

 * demesne ' here and ' sokeland ' elsewhere should be 

 noted. 



44 Entered in Domesday as part of Rothley soke. 



346 



In CAHIHAM [Keyham] 4 carucates of the 

 king's sokeland. 46 The earl of Leicester 2 

 carucates. 47 



In HUNGERTON 9 carucates. 48 



In SIGLEBIA [Sileby] 9 carucates, 6 bovates 

 belonging to (de) the earl of Leicester. 49 In the 

 same place the earl of Chester 3 carucates. 50 In 

 the same place Richard Basset 2 carucates." 

 Robert de Ferrers 5 bovates. 62 



HUNDRED OF BARKBY 



In the same vill 5 carucates of the fee of 

 Belvoir. 53 



In HAMELTON [Hamilton] and in THORP 

 [Barkby Thorpe] 6 carucates of the same fee S4 

 and i carucates of the fee of the earl of 

 Leicester. 65 



In THORMEDESTON [Thurmaston] the canons 

 (of St. Mary de Castro, Leicester) 3 carucates. 56 



45 Domesday assigns lo carucates here to Crow- 

 land Abbey. 



4 " As in Domesday. 



47 It is impossible to identify these two carucates in 

 the Domesday fief of Hugh de Grentemaisnil. 



48 In Domesday Robert de Todeni is assigned 6 

 carucates in Hungerton as appurtenant to his manor 

 of Barkby. 



49 Including the 8J carucates held by Hugh de 

 GrentemaisniL in 1086. 



60 Domesday assigns one carucate here to the earl of 

 Chester as part of the soke of Barrow. 



61 Clearly representing part of the zj carucates 

 which Domesday enters as belonging to Rothley soke. 



" It is probable that these 5 bovates include the 

 2 bovates out of the 2j carucates mentioned in the 

 previous note, which had not been granted to Richard 

 Basset. 



53 See next note. 



M Domesday assigns 1 8 carucates to Robert de 

 Todeni in Barkby, but goes on to state that 6 of these 

 carucates were situated in Hungerton. They would 

 therefore be accounted for above, under Beeby 

 Hundred. On the other hand, neither Hamilton 

 nor Barkby Thorpe appears in connexion with Robert 

 de Todeni's fief in Domesday, and it is probable 

 that the 6 carucates assigned here to these places were 

 included in the 1 8 carucates at which Barkby was 

 assessed in 1086. The whole of the latter sum 

 will thus be accounted for with the exception of 

 one carucate. 



M This apparently represents the ij carucates 

 which Domesday assigns to the wife of Hugh de 

 Grentemaisnil as in Barkby. 



56 Probably these 3 carucates represent the 3$- 

 carucates which in 1086 were held by ' William ' of 

 Hugh de Grentemaisnil. The canons of St. Mary 

 de Castro received the land in question from Robert,
