LANDOWNERS IN CORNWALL, 1165. 155 



Walter Hay, under whom Robert Eitz- William is said to 

 hold twenty of his knights' fees, in 1166, had, probably, a son 

 of the same name, for, in a scutage-roll of not earlier than 1196, 

 a Walter Hay is stated to hold 20 knights' fees in right of 

 Agnes, his wife. Lysons says, "we have not been able to find 

 anything further relating to this great land-holder, or who his 

 wife, Agnes, was." However, in the " History of Trigg -Minor,'" 

 we learn that Walter Hay (a probable grandson of the first- 

 named Walter) held, of the family of Dynham, the manors of 

 Pencarrow in Egloshayle, and Ammel in St. Kew, which, with 

 other lands, he left to his grandaughter, Johanna, and the heirs 

 of her body, with remainder, if she died without lawful issue, to 

 her sister, Thomasine, and her heirs and assigns for ever. 

 Johanna married Sir Richard Stapledon, knight, brother of 

 Walter, Bishop of Exeter (1307-27). In 1301, on the death of 

 Joceus de Dynham, Richard de Stapledon, we find, held of him 

 half a fee in Pencarrow and Ammel, of the value of 100 s -, and 

 John Fitz-William held in Ammel, of Richard, the ninth part of 

 a fee worth 60 s -. This manor was derived from his wife's grand- 

 father, Walter Hay, and seems to have been divided ; one part 

 designated Amal-eglos, from the chapel founded thereon, whilst 

 the other part was called Amal-Richard. 



Johanna dying without issue, her sister and co-heir, 

 Thomasine, who, before 1282, had married Bartholomew de 

 Penhargarth, succeeded to her estates. The family of De 

 Penhargard held the manor of Penhargard, in Helland, from 

 which they derived their name, and also the manor of Polhorman 

 and other extensive possessions in different parts of Cornwall. 



4. William de Boterell holds 12 knights' fees. 



William de Boterell (I) married Alice, daughter and co-heir 

 of Sir Robert Corbet, of Alcester, county Warwick, whose other 

 daughter, Sybell, was mother of Reginald, Earl of Cornwall. 

 In 1131, this William Boterell (I) paid, in Cornwall, two shillings 

 for a pardon (31st Henry I, Rot. Pip.), and died a few years 

 after. 



William (II) de Boterell, or Botreaux, his son, married, 

 circa 1171, the Lady Isabella de Say. After her death, if not 

 before, he confirmed, by charter undated, for the good of his
