 of the fee of the earl (of Leicester). 80 



In CROPESTON [Cropston] 4 carucates. 81

HUNDRED OF GREAT DALBY 



In the same vill the bishop of Lincoln 9 caru-

In the same place William the chamberlain

' 6 Including the 9 carucates held in System by Swegen 

 of Hugh de Grentemaisnil. 



77 In Domesday the earl of Chester is assigned 

 2 carucates in Brooksby as part of Barrow soke. 



73 Representing the six bovates held of the Countess 

 Judith in 1086 by Wulfsige ( ' Wlsi ' ). 



79 In Domesday Robert de Todeni is assigned z\ 

 carucates in Quenby ( ' Queneberie ' ) and 5 in 

 'Croptone' (probably South Croxton). These figures 

 probably include the 6 carucates assigned above to 

 Quenby, for the present survey only accounts for 2 T 3 F 

 carucates in Croxton, which in Domesday are probably 

 included in the assessment ofBarsby. See above under 

 Barkby hundred. 



80 Domesday assigns 9 carucates in Thurcaston to 

 Hugh de Grentemaisnil. On the other hand it only 

 assigns 8 carucates to him in the adjoining vill of 

 Birstall as against 9 carucates entered in the present 

 survey as belonging to the Leicester fief (see above, 

 Ashby hundred), so that the combined assessments 

 would be equal in both documents. 



61 Cropston is not surveyed by name in Domesday. 

 bl As in Domesday. 



83 This represents the 8 carucates with which the 

 bishop is credited in Dalby by Domesday, and probably 

 includes part of the 4. carucates which the latter record 

 assigns to him in South Croxton. 



84 Robert de Buci held I carucate in Great Dalby 

 in 1086. 



"Held by Humfrey the chamberlain in 1086. 



86 In Domesday the earl of Chester is assigned 3 caru- 

 cates in Frisby belonging to Barrow soke, and entered 

 in two portions of I \ carucates each. 



87 As in Domesday (Rothley soke). 



M Domesday assigns only 2 J carucates in Rotherby 

 to the earl of Chester. 



InAsFORDEBiA [Asfordby] the earl of Leicester 

 13 carucates. 89 



In WARTNADEBY [Wartnaby] 6 carucates of 

 the king's sokeland. 90 



HUNDRED OF DALBY ON THE WOLDS 



In the same vill 9 carucates of the fee of 

 Edward of Salisbury. 91 The earl of Leicester 

 3 carucates. 92 



In GRIMESTONA [Grimston] 3 carucates less 

 I bovate and a half of the king's soke(land).' j3 

 Richard Basset 3 carucates. 94 



In SAXEBIA [Saxelby] the earl of Leicester 



5 carucates 

 (land). 96 



also I carucate of the king's soke- 



In SIWALDEBIA [Shoby] the earl of Leicester 

 6 carucates. 97 



In COSINTON [Cossington] the earl of Chester 

 6 carucates. 98 



In HORTON [Hoton] Robert de Jor(z) 2 caru- 

 cates. 99 



69 In Domesday Asfordby, assessed at 1 2 carucates, 

 formed part of Rothley soke. It is possible that there 



is a scribal error in the present MS. (xiii for xii). 

 Henry IPs great charter to Leicester Abbey (Mon. 

 Angl. vi, 467) confirms the whole manor of Asfordby 

 to the monks, but unfortunately does not state the 

 number of carucates at which it was assessed. 



90 As in Domesday. 



91 Held in 1086 by Robert of Ralf fitz Hubert. 

 Edward of Salisbury's connexion with him has been 

 much discussed ; see Feudal England, 213. 



"These 3 carucates are not entered separately in 

 Domesday, nor is it easy to account for them among 

 the possessions of Hugh de Grentemaisnil in this part 

 of the county. 



93 As in Domesday. 



84 Robert de Buci's in 1086. 



85 See below, note 97. 

 96 As in Domesday. 



97 ' Siwaldebia ' here represents the ' Seoldesberie ' 

 of Domesday, which is entered as 1 1 carucates as part 

 of the forfeited fief of Earl Aubrey of Northumbria. 

 The 1 1 carucates in question clearly represent the 

 6 carucates which the present survey assigns to Shoby, 

 together with the 5 carucates with which the earl of 

 Leicester is credited above in the adjoining vill of 

 Saxelby. Earl Aubrey's land in Wanlip had likewise 

 passed to the earl of Leicester. 



68 As in Domesday. 



89 These 2 carucates clearly torm part of the holding 

 which Robert ' de Lorz ' possessed in Hoton (Holetone) 

 in 1086 as one of the king's Serjeants, but which 

 according to Domesday he held unlawfully (Robertas vi 

 possidct). The present survey contains no entry relat- 

 ing to the 6 carucates in Hoton which Domesday 

 assigns to the earl of Chester as part of the sokeland 

 of Barrow.
