157 See above, note 1 54. 

 118 Held by Robert Dispensator in 1086. 

 159 See above, note 1 54. 



' Held in 1086 by Geoffrey de Wirce, as sokeland 

 appurtenant to Pickwell. 



161 If the present survey can be trusted, Newbold 

 was assessed at 4^ carucates which were divided equally 

 between Gosecote, Gartree, and Framland Wapentakes 

 (see above, notes 22 and 58). Domesday assigns 3 caru- 

 cates there to Henry de Ferrers without specifying the 

 wapentakes in which they lay, so that it is impossible 

 to tell whether the present I ^ carucates are represented 

 among the Domesday 3 carucates, or not. 



162 Not entered by name in Domesday, but possibly 

 included in the figure given for Stapleford. 



163 Held by Geoffrey de Wirce in 1086. 



164 Probably representing part of the 5j carucates 

 held of the king by Aschil in 1086. 



55 This important vill is entirely omitted from the 

 Domesday Survey, in which it should have been 

 entered among the lands of Robert de Todeni. It is 

 possible, however, that part of Eaton may be included 

 in the 5j carucates assigned by Domesday to 'Aschil' 

 in Eastwell. In the Chartulary of Croxton Abbey it 

 is stated that Eaton and Branston (see below) were 

 assessed at 1 2 carucates each. (Belvoir MSS. Hist. 

 AfSS. Com. Ref>. iv, 176.) 



166 As in Domesday. 16r Omitted in Domesday. 



68 For the impossible assessment assigned to Melton 

 Mowbray by Domesday see above, Introd. p. 295. 



169 Held by Geoffrey de Wirce in 1 086 as sokeland 

 of Melton Mowbray. 



ing to (de) the honour of Blyth. 170 Robert de

In SIXTENEBIA [Sysonby] 4 carucates and a

 place King David 4 carucates and a half. 176 







In ALEBIA [Welby] 9 carucates belonging to 

 the fee of Roger (de Mowbray). In the same 

 place King David 3 carucates. 



HUNDRED OF NETHER BROUGHTON 

 (' DROCTONA ') 



In the same vill the count of Mortain 12 ca- 

 rucates. 177 



In THORP [Thorpe Arnold] the earl of Leicester 

 12 carucates. 178 



In BRANTINGBIA [Brentingby] 6 carucates 

 belonging to the same fee. 179 



In RINGOLFESTORP [Goldsmith's Grange] 2 

 carucates and 2 bovates belonging to the same 



170 Held by Roger de Busli in 1086. 



171 Held by Henry de Ferrers in 1086. 



172 Representing the 10 carucates assigned by 

 Domesday to Geoffrey de Wirce in Freeby. 



173 Held by Geoffrey de Wirce in 1086. 



174 This is the ' Chitebie ' of Domesday which was 

 held as 8 carucates by Geoffrey de Wirce. 



175 Held by Geoffrey de Wirce in 1086. 



176 The details which follow are given differently by 

 Domesday, but the total assessment of Welby and 

 Sysonby (21 carucates) is the same as in the present 

 survey. Thus the Countess Judith's portion of these 

 vills consisted of half a carucate in Sysonby and 

 8| carucates in Welby as against 7^ carucates assigned 

 here to her descendant King David. Geoffrey de 

 Wirce in 1086 held 7! carucates as against 9 caru- 

 cates now in the possession of Roger de Mowbray in 

 Welby. It seems evident that ij carucates must 

 have been transferred from the Countess Judith to 

 Geoffrey de Wirce or his successors, and in the de- 

 scription of the countess's land we find a distinct estate 

 of ij- carucates which was held of her by a certain 

 Godwin, and probably represents the holding in 

 question. 



177 The king's in Domesday. All the crown lands, 

 in Framland wapentake had been given by Henry I 

 to his nephew Stephen, count of Mortain. 



178 Domesday assigns 1 8 carucates in Thorpe Arnold 

 to Hugh de Grentemaisnil, a sum which represents 

 the present 12 carucates and also the 6 carucatei 

 entered under Brentingby below. The latter vill 

 does not appear by name in Domesday.
