THE PROIRS OF TTW ARDRETH. 317 



coheir of Sir Robert Corbet, and he was dead in 1175. Their 

 son, "Will (II.) de Botreaux, married circa 1171, Isabella de Say, 

 the Lady of Clune, and died circa 1211. The 5 witnesses 

 common to both charters are : — Will. fil. Eoberti, Walterus fil 

 Eoberti, Roger de Duneham, Roger Russel, and Luca de 

 Molendino. The fact of Will. fil. Roberti signing as witness, is 

 a proof that he could not have been the grantor, Wm. Peverel, 

 as was supposed. This Botreaux charter I should date circa 

 1206. 



There is a Scutage-RoU which may be dated (1196-1204), 

 which contains three of the names of those who witnessed 

 Peveril's charter, viz. — Robert de Cardinan, Richard fil. Juonis. 

 and Lucas fil. Bernardi, who is described in this Roll as Seneschal 

 of Reginald de Valletort, (who lived temp. Rich. I.), and is 

 mentioned in the same Scutage-Roll as holding 51 Knight's fees. 



It now only remains to notice the charter of Robert de 

 Cardinan to Tywardreth priory, which contains 5 witnesses 

 common to it and the Peverel charter, viz. — John, Stephen, and 

 Richard, sons of Robert. Roger Russell, Roger son of Lucas, 

 (Nicholas de Haveland, Robert de Karmino, and Henry de 

 Albemara, are found in the charter of Robert de Cardinan to 

 Lostwithiel circa 1196). 



With regard to Robert Peverel who held 9 Knight's fees of 

 the fee of Richard de Lucy, the Scutage-roll is of later date than 

 that above mentioned, and an earlier date than 1213 cannot be 

 assigned to it, as in that year, Archemaund Flandrensis succeeded 

 his father Stephen, who died 14th John, and is in the prior Roll 

 of 1196-1204. It has been suggested by Lysons that Robert 

 Peverel held the 9 fees only in trust for Roesia de Lucy, assign- 

 ing as a ground for this supposition that Rohesia's husband's 

 mother was one of the co-heiresses of Pain Peverel of Cambridge- 

 shire. If this were the case, it would fully account for the 

 non-appearance of a Peverel in the list of 1 3 distinguished names 

 40 Hen. Ill (1256). 



My conclusion, from the facts stated, is that William Peverel 

 the grantor to Tywardreth, is the first recorded lord of Hamatethy, 

 that the grant took place in or about the year 1170; and that 

 Will. fil. Robert is not proved to have been a Peverel; that
