THE HOLDERS OF LANDS 



But Grim gave the king 30 shillings in his 

 place ( pro eo), and holds the land by permis- 

 sion (licentiatn) of Hubert de Port (portu) 1 , 

 and it is worth 20 pence. 



LXXXIIII. THE LAND OF ULVEVA 

 WIFE OF PHIN 



HUNDRET OF BERDESTAPLA [BARSTABLE] 



In PICESEIA [Pitsea*] there were in King 

 Edward's time 3 hides, which are held by 

 Ulveva. Then 2 ploughs on the demesne, 



fo. 98b 



and i villein with (de) half a plough, and 4 

 serfs, and i mill. (There is) pasture for 60 

 sheep, (and) half a hide of wood(land). 4 

 Now (there are) 2 ploughs on the demesne, 3 

 bordars, and 5 serfs. It is worth 60 shillings. 

 To these (3) hides there are now added 3 

 other hides with (*f) 30 acres of wood(land), 

 on (in) which dwell 8 free men with 2 

 ploughs ; there is pasture for 130 sheep. In 

 all (inter totum) it is worth 60 shillings ; 5 

 and these three hides remain in the Icing's 

 hands (remanent regi). 



HUNDRET OF WITBRICTESHERNA [DBNGIE] 



LACENDUNA [Latchingdon 8 ] was held by 

 Phin, a free man, as a manor and as 5 hides 

 and 15 acres in King Edward's time. Now 



1 He held Mapledurwell, Hants, in chief, and 

 is found in the eastern counties acting as an officer 

 of the Crown (see p. 518, note 9). The mention 

 of the Englishman who had lost his land through 

 not being able to pay the fine he had incurred for 

 an offence is of much interest. 



* See Introduction (p. 348). 



* This is satisfactorily identified as the manor 

 which afterwards belonged to St. John's, Colches- 

 ter, by the number of its hides. The cartulary of 

 St. John's contains a charter explaining how it 

 passed to Eudo, the founder of St. John's. 



4 The pasture and woodland (see p. 376) are 

 here inserted out of place in the entry. 



* The clause is somewhat obscure, but this 

 valuation probably refers to the second ' 3 hides.' 



1 The identity of this manor is obscure, and 

 the obscurity is increased by Morant's confusion. 

 He makes it to be Tiled Hall in Latchingdon, 

 which, on his own showing, paid castle-guard rent 

 to Dover, a proof that Montfort had held it. And 

 the same proof applies to what he termed ' the 

 king's manor' of Latchingdon (i. 353). Yet he 

 assigned Montfort's Domesday manor of ' Lachcn- 

 tuna ' to what he termed ' Lachendon Barnes ' in 

 Purlcigh (i. 348), though it was not held of Mont- 

 fort's Honour. Domesday's manors at Latchingdon 

 are Ulveva's (5 h. ov. 15 a.), Hugh de Montfort's 

 (3 h. 2 v. zo a), Christchurch, Canterbury (2 h. 

 6 v. 6 a.), and the king's, which seems to have 

 been under 2 hides. 



U[lveva] holds (it). Then 6 villeins ; now 3 

 bordars. Then 4 serfs ; now 5. Then as 

 now (semper) 3 ploughs on the demesne, 7 

 rounceys (runcint), 13 beasts (animaJia), 31 

 swine, (and) 245 sheep. It is worth now 

 as then (semper) 4 pounds. 



LXXXV. In the Hundret of CEFFEURDA 

 [Chaffbrd] Edward son of Suan held half a 

 hide. 7 Now Edeva (who was) his wife holds 

 it. 8 Then i plough ; now half (a plough). 

 (There is) pasture for 30 sheep. It is worth 

 10 shillings. 



LXXXVI. THE LAND OF TURCHIL 

 THE REEVE (PREPOSITI) 



HUNDRET OF CELMERESFORT [CHELMSFORD] 



In WALFARAM 9 [Walkfares 10 ] Tfurchil] 

 holds I hide less 10 acres. Then as now 

 (semper) 3 bordars, and I serf, and i plough 

 on the demesne. Then half a plough among 

 the men. 11 (There is) wood(land) for 40 

 swine, (and) 6 acres of meadow. It was then 

 worth 20 shillings ; now 30. 



And a certain servant (famu/us) of the king 

 holds 8 acres, and (this) is worth 2 shillings. 



LXXXVII. 1 * And a certain free man, 

 Stanard' by name, held and holds of the king 

 30 acres, and they belong to WITHERESFELDA 

 [Wethersfield is j. Then as now (semper) 3 

 bordars. Then I plough ; now half (a 

 plough). (There is) wood(Iand) for 8 swine, 

 7 acres of meadow, and now as then (semper) 

 I mill. It is worth 8 shillings. 



LXXXVIII. And Goduin the deacon 

 held and holds 9 acres, and (this) is worth 16 

 pence. 



* This entry occurs in the form shown in the 

 text. The scribe must have taken it straight from 

 the roll of the Hundred. 



8 See Introduction, p. 355. 



8 The final m is indicated by the usual abbre- 

 viation, but the scribe probably inserted it, from 

 habit, in error after ' In.' 



10 A manor in Boreham. 



11 Presumably there was none at the time of the 

 survey. 



11 All these entries follow consecutively, without 

 a break, from the land of Turchil the reeve to 

 the bottom of the folio ; but numerals are placed 

 against those which relate to Stanard and to 

 Godwine, and their names are rubricated. 



18 There seems to be no allusion to this holding 

 in the entry of the royal manor of Wethersfield on 

 p. 431 above.
