 Haimo to his niece's husband, Robert Earl of 

 Gloucester, and were part of the Honour 

 of Gloucester. The statement in Testa de 

 Nevill that Titsey was held of the Honour 

 of Gloucester from the Conquest is in itself 

 absurd, as the Honour of Gloucester did not 

 exist. 



8 In the list de Serjantiis in the Red Book 

 of 1212-1217, Ralph Postel held land in 

 Coombe by the service of collecting the 

 Queen's wool. See above, under Kingston,

Of this land, Walter (holds) i hides, 



* Godgifu, countess of Boulogne, sister to 

 king Edward. Hedley was afterwards a De 

 Clare manor, and this may not be the same 

 place. There is an Elderbury Wood in 

 Hedley, and there is just a possibility that 

 Hedley might be meant by the manor of 

 Richard de Tonebrige called Eldeberie (35, b. 

 i.), only that is in Blackheath Hundred, which 

 makes the identification with Albury more 

 likely. 



* A blank in the MS. 



5 Probably Westcott, in Dorking parish. 



6 ./Ethelsige, abbot of St. Augustine's and 

 of Ramsey. 



7 His name does not appear in the list of 

 tenentes in capite. Rainald, his tenant, is 

 substituted for him.
