376 PRINCIPAL LANDOWNERS IN CORNWALL. 



Albemarle in Eoll B holds 5 knights' fees in right of his wife, 

 the relict of Bobert de Bikehat. Alan Bloyou, in Boll A holds 

 7 knight's fees, and in Boll B Balph Bloyou is stated to hold 

 the same number. Stephen Flandrensis, in Boll A held also 

 7 fees, which in Boll B were held by Archemaund Flandrensis 

 (Fleming). William, Earl Beginald's brother, when the entry 

 respecting him on Boll A was made, continued to hold the 

 same 4 knights' fees which he held in 1165; and Henry Fitz- 

 William, probably his son, held the same number in Boll B. 

 In Boll A Alan de Dunstanville is stated to hold 1 knight's 

 fee, which in Boll B is held by Walter de Dunstanville. In 

 the latter roll, we find, for the first time, the name of Henry de 

 Bomeroy, but the number of knights' fees which he held is not 

 specified. In the 40th of Henry III (1255) this family was 

 returned among the first class of land-holders, and they con- 

 tinued to possess considerable landed property in Cornwall for 

 several generations, their chief seat being at Tregony. This 

 Henry de Bomeroy, the younger, was son of that Henry who, 

 in the reign of Bichard I took possession of St. Michael's 

 Mount by stratagem. In the year 1204, he gave 60 marks to be 

 restored to certain possessions of his father's, which he had 

 before entering the castle on St. Michael's Mount. 



The Honor of Middleton. 



The Manor of Mideltone was held, in the reign of Edward 

 the Confessor, by Alwin, and afterwards, before 1083, by 

 Hamelin, under the Earl. The site of this manor is supposed 

 to have been at a place now called Milton, in Morwinstow, 

 where was a chapel dedicated to S. Mary, which was licensed 

 by Bishop Stafford on March 20, 1408. 



This Manor of Middelton was probably a Tithing, for as 

 early as the first year of Bichard I (1189) we find, in the Great 

 Boll of the Pipe, that the men of Middelton were returned under 

 the account for Tallage, as owing twenty -two shillings and four 

 pence de Bono. 



In the Chancery Boll of the 3rd John (1202) Bichardus 

 Flandrensis, then the vice-comes or sheriff, rendered an account 

 of twenty marks received from Nicholas de Middelton for 10 

 knights' fees of the honor of Moreton; and in the same roll,
