A HISTORY OF DEVONSHIRE 



purchase, and continued with the Valletorts until 1275. In 1301 it was 

 claimed by Henry de Pomeray and Peter Corbet as next heirs,^ but in 1 3 1 5 

 judgement-was given against them,' and the Hurberton moiety was granted 

 to the holder of the Totton moiety, probably by purchase from the crown. 



The other moiety constituting the barony of Totton, after being awarded 

 to William de Braose,* passed first to his son Giles, bishop of Hereford, and then 

 to his third son, Reginald de Braose, the husband of Graecia, daughter of 

 William Briwere.* Reginald died in 1221 and was succeeded by his son, 

 William de Braose, who married Eva, sister and coheiress of Walter Marshall, 

 earl of Pembroke," and died in 1229, when, by the marriage of his daughter 

 Eva,' this moiety passed to William de Canteloup, and on the latter's death in 

 1253 '' t° ^is s°"' George Canteloup. George having died without issue on 

 I March, 1273,* it fell to the share of the younger of his two sisters, Mili- 

 cent, wife of Eudo or Ivo de la Zouche, who on Ivo's death remarried John 

 de Montalt or Monhaut.' The Zouches shortly after 13 15 acquired the 

 other moiety or honour of Hurberton, and held the united honours until 

 John, Lord Zouche, sustained a forfeiture in 1485. The barony then came 

 to an end, but most of the estates passed by grant of Henry VII to the family 

 of Edgecombe.^" By far the largest under-tenant of Juhel was Ralf de 

 Pomeray, but nowhere did the Pomeray family continue to be under-tenants 

 of Totnes, In one group, consisting of seven fees, Richard son of Stephen 

 had taken their place in 1286," and in another group of seven fees, Jacob or 

 Avice de BoUey.^''
