PRINCIPAL LANDOWNERS IN CORNWALL. 383 



Eeginald de Valle Torta, in Cornwall and Devon. By the Inq. 

 p.m. of Edmund, Earl of Cornwall, these fees are found to be 

 made up of Breton, Hautebray, and Bray Manors, the last 

 being in Cornwall. The next mention of this family in Cornish 

 records occurs in 40th Henry III, when Marc le r> Flamanc is one 

 of 13 persons who held in the county 15 librates of land or 

 more by military service, and were not knights. Marc held 16 

 librates. 



10. Robert de Tintagel. — 5 knights' fees. 



In 1196, Grervas, son of William, alias Gervas de Hornicote, 

 held these 5 fees. In 1207, he died, when Eobert de Tintaioel 

 (Tintagel) gave forty marks to have the whole of the inheritance 

 which belonged to his father, Gervas de Hornicote. In 1220, 

 the Sheriff of Cornwall, William Lunet, was commanded to 

 resume into the King's hands all the lands which Henry Fitz- 

 Count had given out of the King's demesnes to his knights and 

 servitors during the time he held the County of Cornwall, except 

 the lands which belonged to Eobert de Tintajel. (Eot. Fin. 5th 

 Henry III). Eobert de Tintaiol died before 31st March, 1224. 

 His granddaughter, Sara de Hornicote married Sir Boger de 

 Carminow, and thereby added largely to the fortunes of the 

 family of Carminow. 



11. Henry Fitz- William. — 4 knights' fees. 



In 1196, William, brother of the Earl, held the same 

 number as Henry the son of William now holds. 



12. William de Albemarle. — 5 knights' fees with the relict of 

 Robert de Bikehat. (Eobert de Bikeleia). 



William de Albemarle possessed his estate in right of his 

 wife, the relict of Eobert de Bikehat. Bikeleia, in Eot. Cancel. 

 3rd John, held 5 knights' fees. This William was, probably, a 

 cadet of the Earls of Albemarle, who were connected with the 

 Mandevilles, Earls of Essex, and we find that at this time 

 Eobert de Mandeville held 1 knight's fee in Cornwall. Henry 

 d' Abemar (Albemarle) was one of the witnesses to Cardinan's 

 charter to Lostwithiel, circa 1196; and Henry de Albemara 

 tested a charter to the Priory of Tywardreth, in 1235.
