DOMESDAY SURVEY 



William de Margellis, may be a descendant of Roger de margella, who held land of 

 Roger Arundel in 1086.2' Gerbert does not appear in the Pipe Rolls after 1 179. Between 

 1 179 and 1 184 the sheriff accounted for various sums de exitu terre quefuit Mathildis de 

 Arundel at Lulworth.^^ On the death of Gerbert the land seems to have been divided 

 between co-heirs.^^ In 1180 Roger de Poles proferred £100 pro habenda medietatem de 

 honore de Poostoche, presumably Powerstock, held in 1086 by Roger Arundel.^^ Roger 

 de Poles died at Acre in 11 90 and his land passed to his brother, Robert. ^s In 11 94 

 Robert de Poles and Robert Belet paid £2° scutage on the barony, Robert Belet having 

 in the same year obtained custody of the land quefuit Rogeri de Novo Burgo.-^ By 1212 

 Robert de Novo Burgo or Newburgh, had given Powerstock to King John in exchange 

 for the manor of Herdecote (Som.).^? He was presumably the son of Roger de Newburgh 

 {Novo Burgo) and a minor at the time when Robert Belet obtained custody of the 

 land. This part of the barony continued in the possession of the Newburghs, but 

 Robert de Poles's half passed to Robert fitz Payne, described as his brother in the Pipe 

 Roll for 1189.2^ In 1236 Robert fitz Payne, presumably a son of the same name, held 

 Worth, RoUington, and Blandford, all of which had belonged to Roger Arundel in 

 1086.29 He married Margery de Lincoln, who held the manors in 1242-33° and their 

 son Robert was heir, both to Roger Arundel's lands and also to some of Alvred of 

 Lincoln's lands. 



Robert fitz Gerold's heir was his nephew, William de Roumare, son of his brother 

 Roger and Lucy, widow of Ivo Taillebois and later wife of Ranulf le Meschin, Earl of 

 Chester. She held Bolingbroke and other lands in Lincolnshire. 3' The honor of 

 Bolingbroke appears to have been composed of the lands of Lucy and those of Robert 

 fitz Gerold.32 ii^ the reign of Henry I William de Roumare claimed the honor of Corfe 

 (Mullen)^' which he eventually received. When, however, William de Roumare (III) 

 died without heirs, the Lincolnshire lands passed to the earls of Chester as the 

 descendants of Lucy by her third marriage, but the manor of Corfe Mullen was given 

 to Hubert de Burgh, who held it in 121 2 de dono regis Johannis?^ 



Most of the Dorset manors held by Earl Hugh are later found as part of the honor of 

 Chester, with the exceptions of Burstock and Catsley.^s One manor, Little Mayne, 

 passed to the Knights Hospitallers, in whose possession it is found in the 13th century. ^^ 

 Fifehead Magdalen (no. 220) was given to the canons of St. Augustine's, Bristol, by 

 Robert fitz Harding, the gift being confirmed by Earl Ranulf.^*" This manor was held 

 T.R.E. by Eadnoth the staller, whose son, Harding, survived the Conquest and became 

 the ancestor of the Berkeleys. It is possible that Robert who gave Fifehead Magdalen to 

 St. Augustine's was Harding's son and the grandson of Eadnoth. ^^ The land of 

 Edward of Salisbury passed to his son Walter, whose son Patrick was created Earl of
