296 CORNISH LANDOWNERS, 1256. 



had of the gift of Lulce de Ka'irminou, to Thomas Peticru and his 

 heirs, to be held of the said Robert and his heirs for homage 

 and service. 



According to " Testa de Nevil," in 1235, Roger de Kayrminou 

 held one acre of land in Dobelboys, containing one carucate 

 Cornish. He also was witness to an undated charter relating to 

 Trenant, circa 1220, which is still in the muniment room at 

 Tregothnan. Robert de Carmeneu, who held the 16 librates, was, 

 perhaps, the father of Sir Roger de Oarminow, who married 

 Sara, daughter and co-heir of Grervas de Hornicote alias Tintaioel, 

 and heir of her niece, Margery. 



In 1263, Stephen Beauchamp assigns to Jno. Le Petit and 

 Alice his wife, inter alia all the services of Robert Carmiinow ( Vide 

 No. 3 De Bellocampo ) 



'' The Carminows, whose property, as well as the family, 

 spread far and wide, both continuing to be esteemed among the 

 first in the county, till the reign of Queen Elizabeth, appear on 

 record here for the first time." — Lysons. 



(6.) Willi, filius Roberti — 15 librates. 



In the Scutage-Roll, No. 2, nobert Fitz-Walter held 11 

 knights' fees of the fee of Richard de Lucy, his maternal grand- 

 father, who died 1179, and it is owing to his marriage with 

 Maud, eldest daughter of the Justician, that Walter Fitz-Robert, 

 father of Robert, acquired his Cornish property. Walter died 

 in 1198, and Robert, his son and successor, died at tlie siege of 

 Damietta, in 1234. 



We now, in 1256, find William Fitz-Eodert holding 15 librates 

 of land; and in 1261, Robert Fitz-Robert, probably a younger 

 brother, was admitted, by Bishop Bronescombe, to the rectorv of 

 Gwinear, on the presentation of the Lady Jane Champernown, 

 daughter of Thomas Champernown. 



It was not until the reign of Richard II that the name of 

 Fitzwalter appears among the Sheriffs of Cornwall, and then, in 

 1384, Sir William Fitzwalter, Knt., fills that office, and dies in 

 the following year. His father, Robert Fitzwalter, murried 

 Jane, daughter and heir of Robert Fleming, by Hester, daughter 

 and heir of John Berkeley, son of Sir Simon Berkeley, Sheriff 

 of Cornwall 1287 and 1288.
