58. THE COLLEGE OF HASTINGS 78 



The College of St. Mary of the Castle of 

 Hastings was founded by Robert, count of Eu, 

 probably about 1090. It is not mentioned in 

 Domesday, when all its subsequent endowments 

 are found in the hands of various tenants, but 

 was presumably in existence in 1094, when 

 Anselm consecrated Robert bishop of Lincoln in 

 the church of St. Mary in the Castle of Hastings. 79 

 It was possibly the successor of an earlier colle- 

 giate establishment, as in the thirteenth century 

 the canons claimed to be of the foundation of 

 Edward the Confessor, and said that the Con- 

 queror gave ' the castle and chapel with the 

 prebends ' to the count of Eu ; but ' la livre 

 domus dei ' to which they appealed does not 

 support their claim. M 



Of the original endowment of the college we 

 derive most of our information from a charter of 

 confirmation granted early in the twelfth century 

 by the founder's grandson Henry, count of Eu. 81 

 From this we learn that there were ten prebends ; 

 of these, which are here distinguished by the 

 names of their holders, the first was that of 

 Gwymund, to which Count Robert had given 

 the chapels of Wartling, Hooe, and Ninfield, 

 certain tithes of money and salt and a house in 

 the castle and another in the bailey by the 

 bridge. To the prebend of William fitz Allec 

 belonged the churches of Bexhill, afterwards 

 recovered by the bishop of Chichester as appur- 

 tenant to his see, and ' Stutinges,' 82 the chapel of 

 Bulverhythe and land by the 'minster' in that 

 place, 83 an annual render of 2,000 herrings and 

 other fish dues, tithes at Chiceam 84 and else- 

 where, a house in the bailey and another below it. 

 The prebend of Hugh de Floscis was founded 

 by Walter fitz Lambert who gave the tithes of 

 his own lands and those of his vavassours, and 

 one'hospes' or squatter at Hailsham; Walter 

 reserved to himself and his heirs the right of 

 appointing a canon to this prebend when vacant 

 with the common consent of the chapter ; 

 Geoffrey, brother of Hugh de Floscis, gave the 

 church of Guestling and certain tithes, and the 

 count gave a house in the castle. The prebend 

 of Ulbert had only tithes of ' Malrepast ' and 

 ' Agintune,' but Count Henry gave a meadow 

 beyond the mill below the castle ; that of 

 Eustace was endowed by Reinbert the sheriff 

 with the churches of Salehurst, Mountfield, and 

 Udimore, tithes in Etchingham and elsewhere,
