The same William holds ETINGEDENE [Yat-

 win * held it of King Edward in alod. Then as

parts of the Honour of Dudley, the fief of Roger de 

 Sumery. One of these is in 'Estyldesl' (p. 122). 

 'Estildesl' is given as in the Hundred ofCumpton 

 (p. 132), and answers to ' Hisleleu ' of the Text and 

 to East Ilsley. At Dudelei (Dudley) William son 

 of Ansculf had his castle (Domesday, Vol I. fol. 

 177) (F.W.R.).

* Now in the Hundred of Faircross. 



3 In Testa de Nevill (pp. in and 122) Stam- 

 ford (Stanford) is given as in the Honour of Dud- 

 ley ; and (page 132) it appears as Stanford Willelmi 

 in the Hundred of ' Rughebergh.' But under this 

 Hundred are included in Testa all the vills which 

 the Domesday Text has under 'Roeberg' and 

 'Borchildeberie' (except Benham (Abingdon Fee), 

 ' Borchildeberie ' the vill, and ' Crochestrope ' 

 (unidentified), none of which are named in this 

 list in the Testa. In Feudal Aids, 1 3 1 6, i. 49, the 

 Hundred of 'Burghildeburg' is restored as separ- 

 ate from ' Roubergh ' Hundred, and it contains 

 Stanford held in part by Herbert son of John. 

 'Burghildeburg' (the vill) is given to Reading 

 Hundred. In 1428, feudal Aids, i. 69, Stanford 

 is given as held by Robert Dyngley and formerly by 

 Reginald son of Herbert. But like most of the vills 

 in 'Burghildeburg' and all in 'Roubergh' Hun- 

 dred, and some others, it is transferred to the Hun- 

 dred of Bella Cruce (Faircross). This supports 

 the identification, but the question of the changes 

 in the Hundreds is too long for discussion in a 

 note (F.W.R.).
