LANDOWNERS IN CORNWALL, 1165. 163 



10. The Prior ' de Triwar&reiV (Tywardreath) holds one 

 KnigMs fee. 



The Benedictine Priory of S. Andrew at Tywardreath was 

 subservient to the abbey of SS. Sergius and Bacchus at Angers, 

 the former capital of Anjou. The founder is not known, but 

 there is good reason to suppose he was Richard, Steward of the 

 Household, styled in Domesday, Ricardus Dapifer, holding then 

 twenty-nine manors. Doneeheniv, (Downeckney) a manor in the 

 parish of Treneglos, was one of these, and the said Richard 

 gave the church of ' Trenegles,' so early as the time of the 

 Conqueror, to the priory of Tywardreath. This Richard was the 

 grandfather of Robert Fitz-William, whose sister was the wife 

 of Earl Reginald. Refer to (3). 



The prior at this time was Osbert who was one of the witnesses 

 to the confirmation of Treneglos church by Bishop Chichester 

 at Bodmin, anterior to February 14th, 1154. 



1 1 . Ralph de Tremodret holds two Knights' fees. 



The manor of Tremodret in the parish of Roche, retains 

 its Domesday name ; in the time of Edward the Confessor, it 

 was held by Godwin; and in 1083, by Hamelin. In the Scutage- 

 roll (1196-1204) Ralph de Rupe (Roche) held three knights' fees ; 

 he was probably, son of Ralph de Tremodret. In 25 Edward I 

 (1297) Odo de la Roche is recorded as being the owner of lands 

 worth £20 or more per annum ; it may be reasonably supposed 

 that he was the last of the family. 



In the Roll of the Seizin, Launceston Castle, 11th Edward 

 III, (1337) William de Bodryngan (Bodrugan) holds in Tremodret. 

 This William de Bodrugan, was son of Sir Otho de Bodrugan and 

 Margaret his wife, to whom a certain Herbert de Skewyek 

 granted the manor of Tremodred, and other lands, which had 

 passed to him from the family of Bloyou. Sir William de 

 Bodrugan died without issue male ; his only daughter Elizabeth 

 became the wife of Sir Richard Sergeaux, Knt., whose father 

 dying in 1362, he was called upon to pay the relief for 3£ 

 knights' fees in Tremodret which had belonged to William de 

 Bodrugan. Sir Richard Sergeaux had by his wife, Elizabeth 

 Bodrugan, a daughter, named Elizabeth after her mother, who
