 one of the Chamberlains to Henry I. 1 Matthew received as the 

 dower of his wife the fief of Olonde in Normandy 2 and the manor 

 of Erlestoke. 3 He seems also to have come into possession of the 

 manor of Stokenham (Devon) in the same way, for his charter is 

 found in the Cartulary of Montebourg confirming a grant of land 

 in the neighbouring parish of Strete. This had been before con- 

 firmed by Eoger de Mandeville, and was now confirmed " by the 

 wish and with the consent of Johanna Patrick his wife." 4 



On the death of Matthew Fitz-Herbert in 1231, his widow, Joan, 

 the last of the Erlestoke De Mandevilles, surrendered all the lands 

 which she and Matthew had held of her inheritance, in favour of 

 Herbert Fitz-Matthew, their son and heir. 5
