1 See note on p. 311. This, like ' Rotelei,' is 

 in ' Honesberie ' Hundred. 



2 This word is omitted in the text. 



3 See note on p. 31 o. It was in ' Stanlei ' Hun- 

 dred. This entry is suspiciously like the previous 

 one, in which the Count of Meulan appears as 

 holding Muitone 2 hides (as here), with I plough 

 and 2 serfs in demesne (as here), and 3 ploughs 

 out of demesne (as here), and 2 mills worth 70 

 shillings (as here), and a value of 6 pounds (as 

 here), but in several respects differing from the 

 particulars here recorded. However, it is against 

 the one entry being a repetition of the other that 

 the total hidage recorded in the three entries 

 amounts to 5 hides. 



fThe differences appear to be too great for 

 duplicate entries. Compare Introduction, p. 296. 

 -J.H.R.) 



4 It will be remembered that the former entry 

 relating to Myton states that the z-hide estate 

 in it had been held T.R.E. by Earl Algar. This 

 and the ubsequent entry speak of its tenure by 

 Algar's son Earl Edwin.

 for 6 ploughs. In the demesne are 2, and 

 4 serfs ; and (there are) 9 villeins and 10 bor- 



6 This brings us back (for one entry only) to 

 ' Honesberie ' Hundred. 



6 This rendering is probable, but not certain.
