302 CORNISH LANDOWNERS, 1256. 



ville, second Thomas Corbet, Sheriff of Shropshire, in 1249 ; the 

 other sister married Pomeroy of Berry-Pomeroy, county Devon, 

 and Tregony Castle. Eoger had, 14 years before his death, 

 resigned his right and interest in the manor and castle of 

 Trematon to Eichard, Earl of Cornwall, after Corbet and 

 Pomeroy, descendants of the two sisters, had petitioned for the 

 recovery of the manor and honor of Trematon, alleging 

 that Eoger when he made the deed of gift in favour of the Earl, 

 was not compos mentis; their suit was without success in 1315, 

 and renewed in 1327 with like result. Finally, in 1339, Henry 

 de Pomeroy, in consideration of an annuity of £40, released to 

 Edward the Black Prince, all right and title as heir of Eoger de 

 Yalletort to the honor and castle of Trematon. 



(12.) Richard de Grenuile — 50 librates. 



The largest landowner named in this record, which, it must 

 be remembered, is only a list of 13 persons of full age who were 

 required to take up knighthood, is Richard de Grenville. His 

 mother, it is reasonably supposed, was the heiress of Thomas 

 Filz-Nicholas de Middleton. Although long settled in Devon, 

 this is the first time that the name of Grenville appears in Cornish 

 records. Until 1295, all the heirs male of the Grenville family 

 bore the christian name of Eichard. The owner of 50 librates, 

 STXCceeded his father, circa 1217, and is supposed to have married 

 Jane, daughter of William Trewynt. In consideration of a fine, 

 levied 22 Henry III, 1237, he conveyed the advowson of the 

 church of Kilkhampton, and the advowson of the church of 

 Bideford, in Devon, to Ealph, abbot of Tewkesbury. Notwith- 

 standing, he, on A.pril 26, 1261, presented Henry de Bratton to 

 the rectory of Bideford. At his death he left two sons, both in 

 their minority, Eichard and Bartholomew. 



(13.) Henricus de Bones — 15 librates. 



Tonkin takes this Henry de Dones "to be the same with 

 Dawney." We are disposed to consider le Daneys the family 

 named, and that Bones should be Banes. 



The manor of Lesnewith, together with the advowson of the 

 church thereto annexed, was, in the 13th century, in the 

 possession of the family of Denys, then styled Le Baneys, who 

 held of the family of Pomeroy as of their manor of Tregony.
