166 LAND OWNERS IN CORNWALL, 1165. 



by Ordericus Yitulis as " Henry, son of Joselin de Pomere, stationed 

 at Pont-Antou," (at the confluence of the Eisle with the river 

 of Antou) during the winter, 1123-1124, when there was a 

 cessation of Arms, and King Henry I garrisoned the fortresses, 

 entrusting them to his best officers, among whom was Henry de 

 Pomere. In 1137, he was witness to a deed in Normandy. In 

 1155, he was charged for Danegeld in Devonshire ; and in 1164, 

 he paid £7 12s. 6d. for the scutage of Wales. Soon after 1166, 

 when he was returned as holding three fees in Cornwall, he 

 probably died. His wife, Rohesia, was a sister of Reginald, 

 Earl of Cornwall, but there is no evidence to show whether she 

 was a daughter of Henry I, or of Herbert Eitz-Herbert, his 

 Chamberlain. Sibilla Corbet was undoubtedly mother both of 

 Reginald, Earl of Cornwall, and his sister Rohesia. She survived 

 her husband, and in 1214, presented to the church of Stockleigh 

 Pomeroy in right of her dower. In 1175 she owed three marks 

 "pro foresta." Joscelin de la Pomerai, described as nephew of 

 Herbert and William Fitz-Herbert, and of Reginald, Earl of 

 Cornwall, was her second son. Their eldest son, Henry de la 

 Pomerai (n) gave land to the Priory of St. Nicholas, at Exeter, 

 " Rohea, matre mea" and "Joscelin, fratre mea," being witnesses. 

 It was this Henry who joined John, Earl of Mortain, in his 

 rebellion against King Richard his brother, and seized St. 

 Michael's Mount. He died circa 1195. His first wife was 

 Matilda de Vitrie, from whom the Pomeroys of Berry-Pomeroy 

 derived their descent. He married secondly Rohesia, sister of 

 Doun Bardolf, whose second husband, John Russell, claimed 

 lands in right of his wife, against Henry de la Pomerai, 2nd 

 John (1201) and he and Rohesia, his wife, in 15th John (1214) 

 claimed to present to the church of Stockleigh against the abbot 

 of Yalle. These claims being in respect of Rohesia's dower as 

 widow of Henry de la Pomerai." Note on Rohesia de la Pomerai, 

 Yol. IX of this Journal, 1867, p.p. 273, 275,— gives full details, 

 and has been used to illustrate this name.
