A HISTORY OF DORSET 



suney gives the demesne as 12! not iil hides. It was assessed at 30 hides. Robert fitz Ceroid had 7I 

 hides in demesne at Corfe Mullen (no. 239), assessed at 10 hides. *-5 In 1303 Lvtchett IMatravers belonged to 

 the hundred.*^ It was held by Hugh of William of Eu in 1086 (no. 260) and was assessed at 12 hides. This 

 makes a total of 90 hides, as opposed to the 86 hides of the Geld Roll. 



XVIII. LOOSEBARROW HUNDRED 



In Loosebarrow hundred^s there are 410 hides. 

 Thence the king has ^6 os. 6d.*^ for 20 hides less 

 4 acres and the king's barons have in demesne —

The hundred takes its name from Charborough (nos. 9 and iv), a manor of 5 hides, previously held by 

 Earl Harold but held by the king in 1086. It had 3! hides in demesne. Hugh Gosbert's land must be his 

 unnamed virgate (no. 495). William of Aloyon's manor is probably Spetisburj' (nos. 274 and Ixxxiv). It was 

 assessed at 7 hides, i virgate, and 6 acres, with 3 hides, i virgate, and 10 acres in demesne. The Count 

 of Mortain also had a manor at Spetisbun,- (no. 173), of which he himself held i virgate and 3 acres and 

 Robert held 3 virgates and 6 acres. It was assessed at il hide. William de Dalmar held a manor in an 

 unspecified localit)' (no. 494), assessed at 3 hides and 2i virgates."" The Abbess of Shaftesburv' had 7 hides 

 and I virgate in demesne at ^Nlapperton (in Aimer) (no. 137), the nearest amount to that recorded in the 

 Geld Roll. Mapperton was assessed at 11 hides. Ulvric the huntsman held Morden (no. 437), assessed at 2.V 

 hides. In the same vill his brother's wife held i hide and i virgate. She is presumably identical with Ulveva. 

 Walter de Claville held a manor called IMorden (nos. 315 and clxi), but according to Exon. Domesday he 

 had li virgate in demesne, not 2 virgates. Aiulf held 3 virgates in Morden (no. 337) and William Chernet 

 held I hide and i virgate in Morden of the wife of Hugh (nos. 385 and cxvii). Robert, perhaps Robert fitz 

 Ivo, held I hide in Morden (no. 172) of the Count of Mortain. In 1303 Tarrant Crawford belonged to this 

 hundred."" It was held in 1086 by Edward of Alvric (no. 436) and was assessed at 2 hides. This brings the 

 hidage of the hundred to 40 hides, 3' virgates, and 6 acres, just 2I virgates short of the Geld Roll figure.
