Hobcrt ih: Cavdllf's seal haa disappeared. We have met with him already in a 

 dated charter of 1227 (see p. 17), and this quit-claim may provisionally he assigned 

 to tlie year 1233 or thereabout. 



For Reginald do. Kcrnct .see pp. 35, 40 ; and for Roger Husscll see p. 40. 



There were at least two people named Eis Bckct, who are concerned in these 

 charters, and they were probably father and son. The elder, who appears here, 

 must be of kin to the ' Resus Bechet ' who witnessed a grant of land in Idronc to 

 Mary's Abbey in 1202 ;' and we take him as identical with the man who witnessed 

 no. 50 about 1255, and no. 60 in 1256. Then we meet with ' Eis Beket junior ' 

 in 1278 (Charters 71, 72), the signature indicating that the elder man was still 

 alive. In the later charters 77, 80, 81, ' Eis Beket ' is named without any note 

 of juniority, so that Eis Beket the elder had probably died previously to their 

 execution. = 



The presence of Robin de Garetu as a witness recalls the fact that it was a 

 Carew deed which the earliest of the Eis Bekets witnessed in 1202. 



Alfred Bhuid appears again in the next Charter (47).

Robert de Cardiff has appeared before (see pp. 40, 72), and we learn from this 

 charter and from no. 60 that he had two sons, Walter and Eichard, his wife's 

 name being almost obliterated in the deed before us. Seskiii is still the name of a
