LANDOWNERS IN CORNWALL, 1165. 167 



Eiulfus occurs in the Confessor's time, as holder of the 

 manor of Treurgen; in 1083, Joinus was owner. The name of 

 Eiulfus occurs only once in Domesday. 



20. Erkenbald son of S. . . .holds eight Knights' fees. 



Erchenbald held at the time of the Domesday Survey, six 

 manors in Devonshire, and 3 in Cornwall. Among those in 

 Devonshire was Brotone, now Bratton. His son " Stephen Fitz- 

 Archembald, Lord of Bratton, paid a fine of ten silver marcs to 

 the King for trespass, 4th Stephen (1139); and in 1145, he 

 witnessed the charter of Henry de Tracy to the abbey of 

 Barnstaple by the name of Stephen of Flanders, his son, 

 Archembald being also a witness." Stephenus Flandrensis et

 He was a great baron of Ireland, and that dignity subsequently 

 known as that of a lord of parliament, continued to be enjoyed 

 by his descendants until they were excluded from their seat in 

 parliament by the penal laws ; a period of more than five 

 hundred years. This Archembald we take to be the "Erkenbald" 

 son of S..., (Stephen) of this record. He and his brother 

 Baldwin, are witnesses, (Erkenbald and Baldwin Flandrensis) 

 together with William de Bottreaux, to an undated charter of 

 Hug 1 Ralegh de Netelcomb. William des Boteraus, (as styled in 

 this document) was, probably the sheriff of Devon, 1158-60, who 

 married Alice Corbet, — vide (4). Erchenbald's brother Baldwin, 

 instead of going to Ireland with Henry II in 1171, appears to 

 have attached himself to the good King David I, and was the 

 ancestor of the Flemings, Earls of Wigton. He was rewarded 

 by a grant of the lands of Biggar, in Lannark, of which county
