preserved at Exeter, dated 977,* wherein King Edward the MartjT 

 grants him the four Manors of Trefwurabo, (Trerabo or Traboc in 

 Kirrier 1), and Trefualoc, (Trevallack in Kirrier 1), Trefgrued and 

 Trefdewig. The same Manors were granted in 1059 to Aldred, 

 Bishop of Worcester, who became Archbishop of York in the 

 following year. 



Duke Ethelwerd was outlawed by Canvite in 1020.t His name 

 occurs in the Bodmin Manumissions, as witness to a manumission 

 by King Ethelred at S. Petrock's, :}: and again, together with his 

 wife Ethelfied, as himself manumitting a slave at Liskeard and at 

 S. Petrock's. || 



Eldred seems to have been succeeded by Bishop Ethelred, if 

 we may trust a Charter of King Ethelred to Shaftesbury Abbey,

The names of the remaining Bishops are free from all doubt. 



The next Bishop of Cornwall, and the last resident in the

 Manumissions as "Buruhwold Bisceop," in company with G-er- 

 manus, probably Abbot of Cholsey, IT and others, witnessing a
