164 LANDOWNERS IN CORNWALL, 1165. 



died in childhood, but because he had issue, he held the Bodrugan 

 estates for the term of his life, according to the law of England 

 and upon his death in 1393, they reverted to the heirs of 

 Bodrugan; at the attainder of Sir Henry Bodrugan, Knt., in 

 1487, Tremodret, with other lands, was granted by Henry VII 

 to Sir R. Edgcumbe, ancestor of the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, 

 the present proprietor. 



12. Daniel de Botton hold one and a third Knight's fee. . 



The manor of Boyton is doubtless the Boietone of Domesday, 

 which had been purchased by Sitricius, abbot of Tavistock, for 

 that abbey, prior to the Conquest; before the death of his 

 successor, Graufridus, who died 1088, it had been forcibly taken 

 possession of by Earl Robert. Subsequently 2nd Edward II 

 (1308) Henry de Bodrugan died seized of this manor. Afterwards 

 it was part of the possessions of the Priory of Launceston, as 

 early as 20th Edward III (1346). 



13. William, brother of the Earl, holds four Knights' fees. 



This "William, surnamed ' de Tracy,' brother of Earl 

 Reginald, was another natural son of King Henry I, and his 

 name as a witness appears in the charter, (vide No. 4 ante). 

 In 4th John (1203) Henry, surnamed Eitz-Count, gave twelve 

 hundred marks for the lands of William de Traci ; which lands 

 Hugh de Courtenai and Henry de Traci afterwards enjoyed. 

 This Henry Fitz-Count was the elder of two illegitimate sons 

 of Beatrix de Vaus, lady of Torre and Karswell, by Reginald 

 Earl of Cornwall. In Scutage-roll (1196-1204) William, frater 

 Comsitis, is returned as holding four knights' fees, and must then 

 have been advanced in life ; his father, Henry I, having died 

 in 1135. William probably died before 1213, as in that year, 

 Henry, son of the Earl, is named in the Scutage-roll as holding 

 one knight's fee ; he must have been dead as early as 4th 

 John. 



14. Ralph de Borehard holds two Knights' fees. 



Reginald, Earl of Cornwall, between 1140 and 1175, granted 

 to the monks of Scilly, all wrecks ; whales and whole ships 

 being excepted ; and confirmed the grant, which is still extant,
