of his father Henry I, to the abbey of Tavistock, of all the 

 churches of Sullye, with their appurtenances, and the lands 

 which had belonged to the monks and hermits temp. Edward 

 the Confessor. This Confirmation charter of Reginald's is 

 witnessed by Radulphus de Bosco-Roardi, who is, we have no 

 doubt, the Ralph stated above, as holder of two knights' fees. 

 In the Scutage roll, (1213-20) William de Bosco Roardi hold two 

 knights' fees, and was probably, son of Ralph. In 1337 we 

 find William of Rowardswood holds in Hemmeston, in Devon, 

 of the honour of the castle of Launceston. The name of Bosca- 

 Roard, Anglicised Rowards-wood, is found in the Dives roll,

 Guiltaume du Bosc-Roard. 



15. Hoel and Jordon hold three Knights' fees. Not identifiable.

The manor of Sheviock anciently belonged to the family of 

 D'Auny, or Dawney ; Sir Payn D'Auny, of D'Auny Castle, in

 at Aeon, now Acre, 4th Richard I (1192). Having slain a 

 Saracen prince, and afterwards killing a lion, he cut off its paw, 

 and presented it to the king, who, in token of approbation, 

 took the ring off his finger and presented it to the knight, and 

 ordered that he should bear as his crest a demi Saracen with a 

 lion's paw in one hand and a ring in the other ; the family crest

 Dawney was married to Sir Edward Courtenay, circa 1370.

 to the Abbey of S. Marie du Yal, in St. Omer, Normandy, the 

 churches of Berry Pomeroy, Stockleigh-Pomeroy, together with
