 THE BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 CHAPTER I. 
 
 The great work of Domesday is the foundation of feudal 
 history ; and a few observations upon its nature and value 
 may assist tlie learned reader in fairly considering it. The 
 great importance of this work does not arise because feudal 
 institutions were founded in England at this period, as so 
 many writers pretend, but because prior to this period writing 
 was rarely used, cither in the transfer or in the dealing with 
 lands and manors, and it is the first fiscal record that we 
 possess. The laws which then governed the country, especially 
 with regard to measurements affecting taxation of land, varied 
 from petty kingdoin to kingdom, and frequently in the same 
 territory, and it was only in those laws which affected the 
 Sovereign state that uniformity prevailed. It was chiefly in 
 order to assimilate these laws that the survey was made. Wc 
 find proof of the first proposition in the ever-varying customs 
 of manors which prevail at the present day, whilst Domesday 
 gives us distinct proof of the latter. 
 
 In Domesday we possess, probably, the sum of the law, 
 or as it was called the common law, to distinguish it from 
 local custom, which existed in England for centuries prior to

 its date, even so far back as the occupation of the Romans. 
 Each monarch, as he ascended the throne, undertook to govern 
 by the laws of his predecessors, and it is probable, though it 
 is by no means clear, that this undertaking was reduced into 
 writing, yet it is tolerably clear from the absence of contempo- 
 rary authority, that William the Conqueror, who gave the same 
 undertaking as did Canute and others, did not reduce his 
 charter of liberties into writing, for there is no evidence of its 
 existence at any time ; possibly he felt that it would be more 
 convenient to trust (as the English custom was) to the memories 
 of his chiefs ; and it was probable, upon finding them somewhat 
 treacherous, that he resolved to reduce the question of their 
 relative rights and duties into the form of Domesday. 
 
 However this may be, the Book of Domesday is the first 
 account we possess of the tenures of English estates, and so far 
 as regards Derbyshire, the onl}' comprehensive record for a 
 considerable period. 
 
 It is true that we shall find here and there in the charters 
 granted by the Crown to various religious houses, and in the 
 Pipe Rolls, and in some of the earliest public records, and in 
 occasional private charters, facts of importance to county 
 history ; but the first class. Abbey Cartularies, are not cotem- 
 porary records, these documents having generally been com- 
 piled as late as the thirteenth century ; and the writers of 
 them had too much concern for the special interests of their 
 orders to be invariably reliable, and as the earliest charters 
 recorded in their books must have perished before they were 
 compiled, it is obvious that they can only have been handed 
 down by tradition ; indeed, the fact that before the Conquest 
 writing was not employed in the transfer of land, .seriously 
 detracts from the little respect that can generally be accorded 
 to them. 
 
 That it was a fact, clear beyond dispute, that writing was 
 not employed in land transfer, we may Icain from the double 
 system of conveyancing, that by charter, and that by fine, with 
 livery of seizin (without charter), which prevailed down to the 
 time of Charles the Second. 
 
 And it is only after the Records of the County Court and 
 of the Aula Regis were reduced into writing (a system which 
 was inaugurated by the composition of Domesday), that we
 
 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 3 
 
 can positively state, apart from the evidence of Domesday, 
 what was the law affecting land in private hands, and who 
 were the holders, and the terms of their tenure ; yet, looking 
 at the tenacity with which the landowners clung to their rights 
 during the 450 years of which we have official record, and 
 indeed as regards under-tenants in private manors quite down 
 to the present day, we may safcl\' conclude that little change 
 was made for centuries before this period, yet this is at best 
 conjecture, and in endeavouring to write a history of these 
 institutions, it is necessary to rely strictly upon facts, and to 
 give the best positive proofs that can be supplied in support 
 of it. 
 
 Another reason why Domesday must be taken as the 
 groundwork of our history, is that the greatest mystery and 
 suspicion hangs over the question ; it is a fact that, until 
 within a very short period, the existence of the so-called Saxon 
 charters was unknown, even to so great an antiquary as Seldon. 
 He declared that he never saw one, and well knowing that the 
 English before the Conquest did not use writing in the con- 
 veyance of land, he, not unnaturally, doubted their existence. 
 
 Since the days of Seldon, however, a complete Sa.Kon litera- 
 ture has been unearthed ; when, where, and how, it is not the 
 province of this work to discover, but it may be remarked that 
 the vast majority of these documents betray their own untrust- 
 worthiness, by the fact that they contain no dates or details of 
 the smallest value, which were previously unknown, and which 
 can be tested by ascertained facts, whilst the authentic Norman 
 contemporary charters and chartularies upon which this work 
 is based are of the greatest value and interest, since they abound 
 with life and instruction, and give us an insight into the public 
 as well as the private history of estates ami individuals. 
 
 If the learned reader is desirous of following up the author's 
 views on this subject, he must refer to his books on " Early 
 p:nglish History," and that on " The Origin of the Nations of 
 Western Europe." Here they would be out of place, and are 
 only referred to for the pur[)osc of weighing the value of the 
 testimony of Domesday. 
 
 It must here be remarked that, although very i)rccious, 
 Domesday is not so comprehensive and so valuable as it is 
 generally supposed to be, and as both Sir Henry James and
 
 4 nOC^R OV DOMKSDAY. 
 
 Mr. LlcwelK'tin Jewitt insist. Both these learned writers seem 
 to sum up their estimate of it, by (luoting a passage from that 
 nixthical and wlioUy unreUable work, the Saxon Chronicle, 
 the gist of which is, that in the year 1085 King William, 
 hearing when in Normandy of a projected Danish Invasion, 
 came over to England " with so large an army of horsemen and 
 foot from France and from Brittany, as never before had sought 
 this land, so that men wondered how this land could feed all 
 that arm\', but the king caused the army to be distributed 
 through all this land among his vassals, and they fed this army, 
 each according to the measure of his land." 
 
 "After this the king had a great counsel and very deep speech 
 with his witan about this land, how it was peopled and by 
 what men, then sent his men over all England into every 
 shire, and caused to be ascertained how many hundred hides 
 were in the shire, what land the king himself had, and cattle 
 within the land, and what dues he ought to have in twelve 
 months from the shire. Also, he caused to be written how 
 much land his archbishops had, and his suffragan bishops, and 
 his abbots, and his earls, and though I may narrate somewhat 
 prolixly what or how much each man had who was a holder 
 of land in England, in land or in cattle, and how much money 
 it might be worth, so very narrowly he caused it to be traced 
 out, there was not one single hide, nor one yard of land (this 
 should be translated " Yardland " or Virgate), nor even (it is 
 shame to tell, though it seemed to him no shame to do) an 
 ox, nor a cow, nor a swine was left, that was not set down in 
 his writs, and all the writings were brought to him afterwards." 
 
 Now before referring to the errors and inaccuracies of 
 this account, it may be worth while to enquire who was the 
 author of it. 
 
 Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt calls it "a remarkable and important 
 passage from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle," but the date shows 
 that it could not have formed a portion of that Chronicle, 
 which was, in fact, that of Marianus Scotus, as the author has 
 proved in his " Early English History," and it was first called the 
 Saxon Chronicle by Archbishop Parker, who himself invented 
 the absurd compound term Anglo-Saxon, a word which 
 puzzles foreign archaeologists, since it compounds the native 
 with the foreign name of I'^nglishmen.
 
 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 5 
 
 Marianus Scotus probably concluded his portion of the history 
 about the year 1056, when he left this country ; but the writer 
 of this paragraph evidently resided here. He was probably 
 Florence of Worcester, who adopted and continued Marianus, 
 but whose work was so little thought of by William of Malnies- 
 bury, that in giving an account of the histories extant in 1 120, 
 he does not even refer to Marianus, the Saxon Chronicle, or to 
 Florence of Worcester ; indeed, none of these works were 
 brought to light until long afterwards, when a market was 
 created for the concoction of Saxon literature. 
 
 Now, first, as to the motive of the compilation — to find pro- 
 vision for the army. This is a palpable error. The army might 
 be billetted by necessity, but not by law, upon the people, for 
 the people were the army. A standing army was then unknown. 
 The king had no rights, and Domesday shows that he had no 
 rights, over the lands of his tenants, except as regards his 
 hidage, or, as Mr. Boult (Transactions of the Historic Society of 
 Liverpool, 1871), states, the "aids" due from the land to 
 the Crown, and the rights (courtesy, more properly), when the 
 king made his journeys (progresses) through the country, he 
 had nothing to do with the oxen, cows, or pigs on the estates, 
 except when in progress he consumed a part of them. Nor 
 could he intermeddle with the sub-rents of the tenants in any 
 way. Each barony, nay, each manor, was a separate kingdom ; 
 an iniperiiun in imperio, governed by its own laws. Florence 
 (or the writer of this paragraph) has blushed needlessly for the 
 king on this account. His mistake, no doubt, arose from the 
 mention of bovats or oxgangs, on which hides were payable ; 
 just as at an earlier period, instead of in money prices were 
 measured by so many oxen. 
 
 The rents which the king could exact were only rack, or dry 
 rents, and by no means represented the true value of the estate 
 to the holder, but only the hidage or aid due to the king. It 
 was originally a fi.\cd measiu'C of one pound — the old British 
 tunc pound — which every knight paid for his fee of .so many 
 ploughlands. The record strictly only takes in the number of 
 these ploughlands or bovates hidable in each village or town, 
 and sometimes we luckily get at the name of the tenant — though 
 very rarely more than his Christian name— but nothing more, 
 for the king had no interest in him or control over him, except,

 perhaps, as a measure of the number of fees in the village upon 
 which his tenant-in-chicf ouqht to pay In'dc. Tiio rents of the 
 sub-ti nant and the terms of his tc^nurc was a matter solely 
 between the under-lord and iiiniself, and of no importance to the 
 kinij. 
 
 A far more reliable account of the motives of the threat Survey 
 is to he found in the Register of Bermondsey under the }'cars 
 1083--^, from which it would seem that it was a mere register 
 of rents due to the Crown. It is quite clear, also, that, although 
 the Ci'inmissioners, probably in consequence of special instruc- 
 tions, made a return of all the fees in each village, they were not 
 all gcldable — that is, they did not all of them pay aid to the king, 
 for we frequently read that in certain places only so many 
 carucates were geldable, though others are mentioned, and 
 even in King Edward's time, the payment for a carucate was 
 variable. A carucate is only another name for ploughland ; 
 hide refers to the aid payable in respect of it. Carucate is the 
 cart team necessary to work it, supposed to be so called after 
 the Roman manner of four horses having been yoked abreast. 
 
 To show the variable nature of the tax, in Foston, four knights 
 had, in King Edward's time, two and a half carucates hidable ; 
 then, twelve villains and eight borders had three ploughs and 
 ten acres of meadow, of which the value was forty shillings. 
 
 In Alkmanton there were four ploughs, two in demesne, and 
 eight villains ; and then there were seven borders who had two 
 ploughs and twelve acres of meadow. The value was the same. 
 
 In Holloington, si.K thanes had one and a half carucates 
 geldable. and land for twelve oxen ; eleven villains and seven 
 borders had seven ploughs and eight acres of meadow, and a 
 little underwood, in the time of King Edward, and then it was i^ 
 worth forty shillings. 
 
 In Bradley, two knights had one carucate hidable, land for 
 two ploughs, and it was worth forty shillings. 
 
 In Snelston, six ploughs were valued at the same rate ; indeed, 
 so variable is the number of carucates, ploughs, bovates, and 
 acres for each forty or twenty shillings, that no rule can be laid 
 down on that measure ; and the only safe conclusion seems to be, 
 that for every separate holding in a village, one pound — the 
 ancient British tunc pound — was originally charged : that is, a 
 place was reckoned by .so many knights' fees, each of which
 
 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 7 
 
 was assessed at that sum. And in the course of centuries the 
 actual value and working capacity of the estate had greatly 
 increased, whilst the hide had not been raised. The king's 
 thanes held their lands at a much cheaper rate. It was 
 evidently originally taxed as the other land by pounds ; but 
 these were now generally measured by shillings, probably 
 according to the goodwill of the former sovereign at the time of 
 the grant. In early days, land given to favourites was described 
 as being held bv a fraction of a knight's fee, sometimes a 200th 
 part, or a nominal sum. 
 
 These thanes are a particularly interesting class, as they 
 represented the ancient nobility of the kingdom, and who were 
 allowed still to hold their ancient fiefs. Many more were 
 under-tenants of the Norman lords, but these men were never 
 displaced. Another class of men rated were those living in 
 towns where a hide or aid was paid for so many mansions or for 
 so many ploughlands adjacent to the town, and belonging to it. 
 
 Mr. Kemble ("Saxons in England," Vol. I., p. 488), who, with 
 a certain class of writers (unfortunately a very large one), 
 persists in ignoring the Celtic element in our laws, language, and 
 literature (though it is the chief element), has made a ridiculous 
 mistake in confounding the hide with the ploughland — that is, 
 the tax with the subject of taxation. He writes, " it is necessary 
 to bear in mind, that the hide is exclusively arable land," a state- 
 ment which is at once disposed of by the taxes upon towns. For 
 instance, Chester was assessed at 50 hides, whilst Exeter was 
 assessed at 5. Derby, in King Edward's time, had 243 
 burgesses ; then it had 100 burgesses, and 40 lesser ones, "whilst 
 103 mansions, which used to be assessed, were waste." In King 
 Edward's time the town had 12 carucates adjoining it, and 
 rendered £2^ ; then, with the ten mills and Litchurch, it was 
 worth ;^30. At the same period (King Edward's time) Notting- 
 ham had 173 burgesses, and only 6 carucates of land, for which, 
 with the burgesses works, they paid only 75 shillings and 
 7 pence. In King William's time there were only 136 men 
 dwelling there, 13 of whom had been put in by Hugh fitz Baldric, 
 the Sheriff. In the time of King Edward, Nottingham yielded 
 in rent ;^i8; at Domesday, ;^30. 
 
 It is very difficult to say at what hidagc each of these towns 
 was assessed, or whether they were assessed only according to

 the biiruess aid. The threat increa.sc from iJ'iS and ;^24 to j;^30 in 
 Nottiiii;hani and Derby, in spite of decrease in the number of 
 bur<:jesses in both, atlds to the difficultx-. 'I'lic mint at Nottin<^ham 
 paid ;^io extra. Mines, saltworks, fisheries, and other properties, 
 all contributed to make up the hides, so that many houses must 
 have gone to form a single hide Where a city was measured 
 by hides, the probability is that each parish in a city represented 
 one or more hides, just as did a vill in the country. It may 
 be, however, that the value at which these towns were assessed 
 was only in respect of the Luvls held by them adjacent to the 
 town, for the Pipe Rolls show that independently of the Dane- 
 geld there was a distinct burgess aid. The particulars given are 
 hardly conclusive on the point. Another class of land owners, 
 or rather of manors, which were enquired into were the Terra 
 Regis, the lands of ancient demesne, that land which had always 
 supplied the royal revenue. For the most part this was let to 
 the king's tenants, some of whom supplied food for the royal 
 tables ; whilst others were let to farm at substantial rents, called 
 fee-farm rents, just as the tenants-in-chief underlet their own 
 estates ; or perhaps at a nominal rent, if the estate were given 
 as a reward to a favourite. In only some instances, and probably 
 for these reason.s, is there any value placed on these lands. 
 Those lands so let at fee-farm could not be disposed of by 
 the sovereign, except for his life. Upon his death they re- 
 verted unfettered to his successor. 
 
 We see, therefore, that not only did not the king, "to his 
 shame," take an account of his subjects' cattle, but that he did 
 not tax all their lands, but only those which, doubtless, from time 
 out of mind, had been regularly taxed for the royal revenue, and 
 those which he himself had granted, but it would rather seem 
 that he increased the taxes on towns in proportion to their 
 works, and the number of their burgesses. 
 
 The following tables have been extracted from the MSS. of 
 the late Rev. Robert Eyton, now deposited at the British 
 Museum, and numbered 31924 amongst the Additional MSS., 
 and they give at a glance an important fact, wiiich supplies the 
 true reason of the Survey. Instead of the king growing richer, 
 the revenues of the Crown were, in country places at least, 
 being sensibly diminished. Omitting fractions, the gross value 
 of the five wai)en takes of Derbyshire had fallen from .^^587
 
 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 9 
 
 to ^455 ; and again, the measurement of a carucate varied 
 in each hundred, no doubt to the king's loss. This calculation 
 of the royal revenue, however, does not include the fee-farm 
 rents of the Crown. 
 
 We learn one important fact from the consideration of this 
 subject which is generally overlooked. Not only were many 
 ploughlands in vills which might have been taxed left out of 
 the calculation, but only those vills in which lands are taxed 
 are mentioned in Domesday, so that it is not a perfect record 
 even of the estates of the nobles. The author has found nearly 
 as many places in Derbyshire (many, if not most, of which must 
 have been manors at this period), and which are unmentioned in 
 Domesday as those which are given, and the numbc;r is con- 
 tinually increasing, a fact which teaches us that Mr. Eyton's 
 valuable tables must only be read as applying to Domesday, 
 that is. to only part of the county, and not as illustrative of the 
 whole ; unfortunately, we have no means of obtaining statistics 
 as to the rest. 
 
 The Rev. Mr. Eyton, in his Derbyshire Notes, has pointed 
 out various small distinctions observable in the different surveys 
 of Derbyshire and Stafford, with a view to determine under 
 which circuit they were severally surveyed, a matter of not very 
 great importance ; his criticisms, however, are of greater value 
 in determining the objects of the survey. In Derbyshire, mill 
 sites, churches, and portions of manors apportioned to others, 
 were mentioned, but not in StafTordshire, and tiie latter only 
 invariably gave the measurements of small woods. These 
 differences would appear to show that much was left to the 
 discretion of the Commissioners, that the Crown desired to learn 
 as much as possible, but that no special instructions were given 
 on some subjects and therefore it would seem to follow that 
 many items of property were referred to which were not taxable 
 at that period. 
 
 It would be interesting to learn whether the Conqueror took 
 any legislative action in consequence of the report, or whether 
 the laws relating to taxation remained unaltered, but were only 
 more strictly applied. Judging from the evidence of the Pipe 
 Rolls, it would seem that nothing was done, and no legislation 
 of any consequence appears to be recorded by contemporary 
 chroniclers.
 
 lO BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 It certainly appears from Eyton's studies that Derby was 
 surveyed by the same Commissioners who surveyed Yorksliire, 
 Iluntini^don, Nottingham, and Lincohishire, and that part of 
 Rutland which was included in Nottingham ; and it is probable 
 that the surveys of Lincolnshire and Yorkshire induced the 
 Commissioners to call the hundreds of Derbyshire wapentakes. 
 Why, it is not very clear, because there is nothing in common 
 in the derivation of the two words, indeed 'the latter is generally 
 used as a portion of the former, and there is one instance of 
 such a measure of a hundred in Derbyshire in the Manor of 
 Sawley. A portion of the wapentake or hundred of Morleston 
 is called itself a hundred, and it contained 12 carucates, the 
 standard measurement of the smaller kind of hundred. 
 
 There can be but little doubt that before the Conquest, and 
 when Derby formed a portion of the Kingdom of Mercia, it was 
 then divided into hundreds, like its sister counties on the south 
 and v/est. The name wapentake was only occasionally used in 
 Derbyshire down to the time of Edward I., or perhaps a little 
 later, when that of hundred became again permanently in use, 
 but even when it was used, both words were used indiscrimi- 
 nately. Eyton has expended a good deal of labour on this 
 point, which is scarcely intelligible. Had he examined the 
 records he would have seen that, whatever their meaning, the 
 terms were used interchangeably, as if identical ; just as hide 
 and carucate were afterwards confused. 
 
 That in Derbyshire a wapentake is equivalent to a hundred is 
 quite clear, from the fact that the modern hundreds are con- 
 terminous with the Domesday wapentakes, although some of 
 them have been sub-divided into two parts, or, perhaps more 
 properly, half hundreds ; and this at once disposes of Eyton's 
 idea that the county was divided into hundreds of 12 carucates 
 each. 
 
 Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt has not hazarded much upon the 
 question of measurements, nor has he formed a definite system 
 for Derbyshire ; perhaps in doing so he has exercised a wise 
 discretion. He gives a carucate as equivalent to a ploughland, 
 a rather indefinite expression ; a hide, which he also, with Mr. 
 Kemble, regards as a measure of land and not of taxation, 
 according to him varying from 30 to 120 acres. A bovat 
 or oxgang, a ploughland, equal to an eighth part of a carucate.
 
 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. II 
 
 and equal to a quantity varying from 8 to 24 acres. A virgate 
 as a fourth, or perhaps an eighth of a hide, which, tabulated, 
 omitting variations, leaves a virgate, and a bovat equal to an 
 eighth of a hide, and therefore equal to each other, and each 
 equal to eight acres, or it may be that one virgate equalled two 
 bovats of that amount. 
 
 The term hide does not appear to be used in the Derbyshire 
 Domesday, nor does" virgate appear till a later period. Eyton 
 has, according to the writer's ideas, fallen into great confusion 
 by insisting upon the terms hide and carucate being identical, 
 simpl}' because he supposed that he found that each contained 
 48 geld acres (fol. 6) ; he, however, rejects the measure hide as 
 applied to this county. He describes the county of Derby as 
 divided into wapentakes, carucates, bovats, and geld acres, 
 whilst his own tables show that some of these measures bear 
 no sort of proportion to each other, and indeed that they vary 
 in each hundred. Omitting fractions, in Apletre there were 
 512 acres to the carucate, in Morleston 261, in Hameston 736, 
 and so on. Of course this discrepancy may be accounted for 
 by supplying the acres which were not geldable, but taking it 
 as true, this would give 64 acres to the bovat in Apletre, 
 32 in Morleston, and 92 in Hameston ; yet in another part of 
 his treatise, he has broadly stated that a Derbyshire carucate 
 or ploughland measured 120 acres (fol. 12), and the mode he 
 arrives at this calculation is so remarkable that the whole 
 passage is transcribed. 
 He writes : — 
 
 " While on the subject of the ploughland, I would fain add 
 from the Derbyshire Survey a corroboration of my theory 
 adopted long since on other grounds, that the ordinary Terra 
 ad unam caracam measured 120 statute acres. The passage 
 describing Henry dc Fcrrars' two manors of Hertshorne runs 
 as follows : — Doms 80, 274, 3, 2. Mancrium in Heorteshorne 
 habebat Aluricus iiii carucatas terra,- ad geldam. Terra iiij 
 carucis, wasta est, silva pastilis dimidia Icuva longa ct dimidia 
 (Icuva) lata. Terra arabilis tantundcm T. R. K. valcbat iiij

 "Manerium in alia Heorteshorne habetat Aluricus ij caru 
 tcrr.x ad geldam. Tcrr.i ij carucis, wasta est, silva pastilis 
 dimidia Icuva longa ct dimidia Icuva lata. Terra arabilis
 
 12 BOOK Ol'" DOMESDAY. 
 
 tantundcm T. R. E. valcbat xl solidos modo valet x 
 solidos." 
 
 In each case the plough capacity (Terr. 4 car., Terr. 2 car.) 
 is calculated perhaps on that ordinary feature of the carucate 
 or hide, that each carucate or hide involved one ploughland, 
 or it may have been that the Domesday Commissioners found 
 actual record that 4 teams and 2 teams had been employed 
 at some previous period on the two estates respectively. 
 There could be no other adaptability or normal capacity ot 
 the ploughland, for \vc sec that in one manor the four plough- 
 lands co-ordinated with just the same quantity of arable land 
 as did the two ploughlands of the other. The expressions terr 
 iiij car, terra ij carucis, are used then either technically, erro- 
 neously, or else with reference to some known antecedent, to 
 correct the glaring inconsistency or inaccuracy, and to certify 
 the Commissioners' opinion about adaptability or present 
 capacity. They added, perhaps, those unusual words, measur- 
 ing the arable land by an exact measure. 
 
 The whole case will best be stated algebraically. In one 
 manor, of 4 ploughlands = | league x J a league = 360 statute 
 
 acres, 
 
 or I ploughland = 90 statute acres. 
 
 In the other manor, 2 ploughlands = |- league x ^ a league 
 = 360 statute acres, 
 
 or I ploughland = 1 80 statute acres. 
 
 It is not likely that the Domesday Commissioners were 
 ignorant of the doctrine that two things equal to the same 
 were equal to one another, but it is not improbable that, to 
 point inaccurate or suspected premises, they might use a process 
 akin to what logicians term a reductio ad absurdam ; they used 
 other furmulse suggestive of a similar suspicion, e.g., terra est 
 ij carucis sed tamen ibi iiij carucis. 
 
 In all such questions, if we cannot surely interpret the text 
 and intention of isolated passages of Domesday, we can estab- 
 lish pretty safe conclusions by adding further premises and 
 calculating general results. In the present case, the question 
 of the average measurement of a Domesday ploughland, we 
 need to add no further premises, we need only to combine 
 the two seemingly discordant premises. The added equations 
 will be : —

 4 pis. + 2 ploughs. = 360 a. + 360 a. 
 
 6 ploughs. = 720 a.

 and such is the exact conclusion to which I arrived when 
 
 studying the Dorset Survey, and arguing from other lights. — 
 
 (See Key to Domesday, 23, 24.) 
 
 It is only fair to point out that this MS. was not prepared 
 for the press, and had it been, probably the learned author 
 would himself have corrected it. 
 
 Now, putting aside the extraordinary reasoning which could 
 satisfy a man of such undoubted talent as Mr. Eyton, let us look 
 at these entries, and two facts are at once apparent. First, that 
 there is no other instance in the Derbyshire Domesday where 
 arable land is measured by leagues ; it is invariably measured 
 by carucates or land measures. That woods and underwoods, 
 on the other hand, are never measured by carucates or plough 
 measures, but always by lineal measures. And we shall see at 
 once that, curiously enough, the scribe has used the words 
 "arable land " twice, in mistake for underwood. In no instance 
 in this Domesday is land, whether arable or not, given after 
 wood ; besides, the land, although waste, was already measured, 
 by land and not by lineal measure. Why, then, measure it twice 
 over.' This is not done in any other instance, as Mr. Eyton 
 himself has discovered. But assuming that arable land was 
 intended and only described by lineal measure, because, like 
 wood, it was of little value (as a fact, waste lands are never so 
 measured), how possibly could a simple addition and division 
 sum, magnified here into an equation, solve the difficulty .-' 
 There is literally nothing in the entries ! In the first manor the 
 tenant paid £4 for four carucates, and in the second £2 for a 
 couple, that is the old tunc pound for each carucatc. Both 
 manors being waste, they were each reduced to the nominal 
 payment of half a hide. 
 
 The truth is, that many ancient terms, as hundred, hide, 
 acre, etc., etc., have several distinct meanings, and at various 
 periods cither lose their true meaning or arc misapplied. The 
 important question for Derbyshire history is, what was the 
 meaning of these terms in this county ? I'olidorc Vergil states 
 a hide to be 20 acres ; whilst Agard fixes it at lOO ; and other 
 instances as high as 240. Sir George Sitwell has furnisiied a
 
 14 HOOK i)l" l)OMi:.SDAV. 
 
 Dcrb\'shire record, wherein a bovate is stated i)ro[)crly to 
 contain 80 acres (Charter concerning land at Barlhorough), 
 but a question ny<\y arise whether this quantity was general 
 throughout the count}', or only applicable to a particular 
 manor ; or, in fact, whether it was not a generous bovat. 
 
 Mr. Frederick Seebohm, in his interesting work, "The Village 
 Community," has paiil great attention to the origin and meaning 
 of the word hide, antl although he has missed its correct 
 etymology (probably he had not the advantage of reading Mr. 
 Boult's admirable paper upon the subject), he is not very far 
 wrong in its application. He writes, p. 398, " The word hide, 
 which still baffles all attempts to explain its meaning, may 
 possibly have had reference to a similar tribute. Even in 
 England it does not follow that it was, in its origin, connected 
 with the plough team." He was referring to the Frisians, with 
 wh.om existed the custom of the tribute of a hide for every so 
 many oxen, which, he adds, " was as ready a mode of assessing 
 the tribute as counting the plough teams would be in an 
 agricultural district." 
 
 Mr. Seebohm has given a very interesting table of measures 
 for Huntingdonshire, taken from the Hundred Rolls, from which 
 it appears that in nineteen cases the number of virgates in a hide 
 varied from 4 to 8 ; in seven cases the number was 4 ; in five it was 
 5 ; in six it was 6 ; and in one, 8 ; whilst the number of acres in 
 a virgate varied from 15 to 48. The number of acres in a hide 
 was less variable : in eight cases there were 120 acres to a hide ; in 
 four, 125 ; the other seven all differing from them. Mr. Seebohm 
 calculates that the normal virgate or yard land was one-fourth 
 of a hide, and contained 30 acres. But in the face of such varia- 
 tions it seems almost idle to endeavour to arrive at a definite 
 solution of the question, and all that can positively be predicted 
 is that the hide, or carucate, really represents an uncertain 
 amount of land, varying according to soil and climate, which a 
 single plough-team could work. 
 
 This learned writer seems to think that carucate is a later 
 word than hide, and supplanted it subsequently to the period of 
 the Hundred Rolls, but this is obviously a mistake. Both are 
 to be found in Domesday, and both probably were of Gaelic 
 origin, the one describing the tax or aid (eid), and the other the 
 thing by which the aid was measured. It is, therefore, not
 
 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 1 5 
 
 strictly accurate to describe the hide as varying ; what varied 
 was the subject of the hide. 
 
 Perhaps the true cause of the variable quantity of the carucate 
 is to be found in its unit. It is clear from the statute of 33rd 
 Edward I., wdiich fixed the acre at 40 perches in length and 4 
 in breadth, that its variable nature was a source of contention 
 and strife, which it was desirable to avoid. The shape of the 
 acre shows that it w^as so many furrows ; and we learn an 
 important fact from Mr. Seebohm's book that down to a late 
 period the idea of every acre being a specific part of a carucate 
 or plough-team was no fiction, but a reality ; and that the joint 
 owners of the carucate were also the joint owners of the 
 plough team, and took their part in the ploughing in a 
 regular rotation. This is proved conclusively by the descrip- 
 tion of the virgate of one John Moldeson, in the manor of 
 Winslow, which consisted of over 68 half-acre strips of land, 
 scattered in different common fields of the manor. In 66 cases 
 his land on one side abutted upon the land of John Watkins ; 
 on 43 of the other to Henry Ward's land ; and in 23 to John 
 Mayn's land. These four men, therefore, each held one or a 
 part of one virgate of the carucate, and jointly owned the 
 plough team. And we get at this further fact, that the fields 
 would be each of 2 acres (40 rods in length, by 8 broad), 
 which would constitute a double day's ploughing for a full 
 team of oxen, or perhaps only one day in a light soil. 
 
 It is in the history of this system of co-operative ploughing 
 that the confusion between the hide and the carucate and bovat 
 arose. Our only true measure of what was the English law 
 before the Conquest is to be found in the Welsh, the ancient 
 British laws ; and from these we learn that the common profits 
 of the common undertaking were divided nominally between 
 the oxen, in a regular system of rotation the place in the team 
 depending as much, perhaps, upon the share of its owner, as 
 upon the strength and capal^ilitics of the ox. 
 
 The autiior has derived very great benefit from the labours of 
 Major-Gencral Wrottcsly for the William .Salt .Society for 
 Staffi^rdshirc. They cannot be t(.'0 highly commended, since 
 they su[)ply, in an admirable form, the most important imforma- 
 tion relative to that county. It is to be hoped that the learned 
 author will continue his lai)ours in this direction. General

 Wrottcsly lias noted that the assessment for that county only 
 varied one penny chirinf;!; the reis^ns of Henrj^ I. and II. ; and he 
 informs us that in 8 Henry II., it was reduced to ^42 os. 7d. 
 His table of land measures seems too fanciful to be of real value 
 to Derbyshire students. He would give a knight's fee as equal 
 to 3000 acres, or three hides, or four carucates ; three virgates, 
 or 750 acres, being equal to one carucate. The Evesham 
 Cartular)' suggests the following table : — " Twelve acres 
 to a virgate, four virgates to a hide, eight hides to a 
 scutage ; a carucate being only equal to three virgates." 
 Derbyshire Domesday only mentions carucates, bovats, and 
 acres ; and from that book itself the relation of bovats to 
 carucates can be certainly adduced, and from several instances. 
 In the king's manor of Langdendale, it is shown that eight 
 bovats go to the carucate ; so it would appear from Snelston, 
 though there is an error of one bovat in the calculation. But it 
 is quite clear again from Henry de Ferrers' manor of Burnaston, 
 so that Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt's estimate of from eight to twenty- 
 four bovats would seem not to apply to Derbyshire, since it is 
 there a fixed and not a variable measure. In Geoffry Ascelins' 
 manor of Braideston we appear to get the measure of a carucate. 
 Gilbert de Gant held there two carucates of land, one mile in 
 length and three furlongs in breadth, which would give 120 
 acres to the carucate and fifteen to the bovat, counting 640 acres 
 to the square mile. Curiously, this exactly agrees with Mr. 
 Eyton's calculation respecting the number of acres in a carucate. 
 Hubert fitz Ralf's manor of Middleton is measured by one 
 mile in length and four furlongs in breadth. One carucate was 
 geldable in it, and there was land for one plough, but it was 
 waste, and little evidence can be gathered from this estimate. 
 
 Whatever may have been the case in Derbyshire, it would 
 seem that the normal measure generally throughout the country 
 was twelve acres to the bovat and eight bovats to the 
 carucate, and eight carucates to the knight's fee, or scutage, 
 and the virgate, which we do not find in Derbyshire until long 
 after Domesday, was in some places equivalent to a bovat, and 
 in others to a double bovat. 
 
 As already observed, Domesday is not what it is generally 
 supposed to be, an account of every yard of land and, of all the 
 creeping things upon it (that is a record of the national
 
 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 1 7 
 
 property), but simply an account (with occasional additional 
 facts, suggestive of an attempted increase in taxation) of the 
 number of carucates within each county which were hidable, 
 that is, a merely fiscal document, and it becomes a very interest- 
 ing problem to ascertain how far this can be proved by, and 
 compared with, subsequent records. The earliest records which 
 we possess bearing directly upon the question are the Pipe 
 Rolls ; and at irregular periods, as necessity compelled a levy, 
 we find the scutages, as they were then called, paj^able by 
 those knights who held estates which were liable to 
 pay danegelt. It would be a mistake, perhaps, to confound 
 danegelt with the geld payable at the time of Domesday. 
 These taxes were probably payable on other occasions besides 
 those when danegelt are exacted : that is, whenever the State 
 required a subsidy ; and Domesday records the very manors 
 and the fractions of the scutage which each manor or soke 
 was liable to contribute upon these occasions. Unfortunately, 
 we can only gather from the Pipe Rolls the gross amount of 
 scutage payable in each county. But these figures se^m to 
 prove that, if the Conqueror took any action in consequence 
 of this Domesday Survey, it soon died out, and the ancient 
 order of things was restored, for the amount of scutage 
 remained the same, whilst that of levy still continued to 
 decrease. We have a scutage in a Pipe Roll which I\Ir. 
 Hunter has attempted to date as that of the year 
 31 Henry I., and unthinking persons accept that date as 
 conclusive, although Dugdale and the older writers, whose 
 opinions should not lightly be discarded, considered that it was 
 of the date of 5 Stephen; others thought the 15th of that 
 king ; others the 1st ; whilst some writers, even of the present 
 day, have supposed that it supplied the missing Roll of i 
 Henry H. (if, indeed, that roll is missing), the .series of tlie.sc 
 records being perfect fn)u\ the second year of that king. And 
 there is more weight in this suggestion tlian is generally 
 accorded to it. It is usually .set aside without considerati«Mi, 
 because the .sheriffs in this Roll and tliat of 2 Henry II., 
 are different, but that is surely to be expected, fur necessarily 
 Henry II. would find Stephenitc sheriffs when he came to the 
 throne, and would speedily replace them by his own friends. VVc 
 hardly know upon what facts <»r evidence Dugdale ami tlie 
 3
 
 l8 BOOK OF 1)OiML;SDAV. 
 
 elder writers relied, but the truth seems to be that each of the 
 contending parties have stron<i[ evidence drawn from different 
 Rolls in support o( their separate views, and each may be right 
 with regard to tiicse different Rolls, for it by no means follows 
 that it is a Roll of one year : it may be a collection of the 
 fragments of several. The Roll is imperfect, many counties 
 being omitted ; and this fact alone should warn the positive 
 guessers of uncertainty and danger. Whether this be the case 
 or not, it is undoubtedly of a very early date, and most probably 
 about fifty years later than Domesday. We, then, beyond all 
 question, have the Roll of 2 Henry II., which was exactly 
 seventy years later, and the following notes, extracted from 
 these Rolls, shows conclusively that there was essentially no 
 difterence between the assessments of these two periods; and 
 this assessment continued the same for centuries afterwards. 
 It is submitted that the discrepancies between them arose from 
 accident —from manors falling" out of cultivation, or from 
 ignorance or mistake, and not from any change in the law or 
 from Resign. On the fourteen following counties, the difference 
 in the assessment was under ;^I0, although the difference in the 
 actual receipts was much greater. The large sums allowed for 
 waste in 2 Henry II. shows the misery which ensued from 
 the violence suffered under King Stephen, and the diminution 
 in the amount of tax between the time of Domesday and that 
 of the end of Henry I.'s reign may well represent the waste 
 occasioned by the rebellions against, and the violent conduct of, 
 that monarch. 
 
 It would be very interesting to contrast the relative amount 
 assessed under Domesday for tlie whole country, but the labour 
 would be too great. The rate of the assessment of Henry II. 
 is, fortunately, quite clear from the Pipe Roll for the county 
 of Worcester. The bishop said he had only fifty knights who 
 ought to be assessed, for which he paid ;^40 los. into the 
 Treasury (and for which payment of ;^I9 los., was excused), 
 or exactly at the rate of £i per scutage. The author has 
 roughly calculated the amounts assessed in Nottingham and 
 Derbyshire. They are, unfortunately, lumped together in the 
 Pipe Rolls as one county : why, is not so clear. Other counties 
 besides Nottingham and Derby had the same sheriff, as 
 Yorkshire and Northumberland, Cambridge and Huntingdon,
 
 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 J9 
 
 Wilts, and Dorset, Dorset and Somerset, Bucks, and Beds., and 
 some others. The last two counties are lumped together in 
 2 Henry II., but kept separate in Henry T. The author 
 has calculated roughly the amount of scutage levied in both 
 Notts, and Derby at the date of Domesday ; and for Derbyshire 
 his calculation is within a couple of carucates of that of the 
 Rev, Mr. Eyton, so that both are probably nearly accurate. 
 Mr. Ey ton's gives the sum of 698 carucates, with a fraction, for 
 Derbyshire, and the author has calculated that Nottingham had 
 a little under 500 hidable carucates. Now, dividing the sum 
 of the two counties by eight, we find that Derb}'shire and 
 Nottingham between them possessed about 149 scutages, or 
 knight's fees. Taking it at the sum of £1 per scutage, we see 
 that it had sunk in the time of Henry I. in about the same 
 proportion as the scutage of that year had fallen in the time of 
 Henry II., that is generally, throughout the country. The 
 proportionate waste in Derbyshire was excessively high, probably 
 because so large a portion of it was devoted to the chase.

 These returns are interesting, as showing the relative importance 
 of the several counties ; but the}' are immensely valuable 
 in proof of the practically identical assessment at these two 
 periods, and their agreement with Domesday. The item of 
 waste, tempe Henry II., shows that the account was made up 
 relatively to an earlier one. That of Henry I. unfortunately 
 omits this series of items. Unfortunately, too, we have no 
 account of the waste created prior to Domesday in the amoimts 
 of assessable land. We know that it was then .so mucli, l)ut we 
 have no record what it was in the time of Edward the Confe.s.sor 
 — that is, probably, the time of Canute. Wc get the dccliiu; in

 It will be seen that Mr. Eyton has contrasted the gross value 
 of the manors with that of the scutage, but they appear to have 
 no relation to each other ; and this is apparent from the 
 variation of the proportions to a carucate in each hundred. 
 The gross value of the wapentakes is ^587 6s. od., and the 
 number of carucates over 100 more. This would give a 
 hidage of nearly seven times the proper amount. But the 
 hidage was never variable : it always was fixed at the same sum 
 for the whole of England, usually 20s. So, too, the calculations 
 of the number of acres to a carucate are useless. They are 
 inserted from respect for Mr. Eyton, and because some persons 
 will prefer his reading of the document ; but it is confidently 
 submitted that, although the gross value of the wapentakes bore 
 a certain proportion to the cultivated acreage of the county, it 
 had no relation whatever to the hidable carucates. The latter 
 quantity, in fact, depended upon the generosity or caprice of 
 previous kings, who had assessed some knights or thanes 
 strictly, or the reverse. We see that the gross value of the 
 wapentakes had fallen from £s8j 6s. T.R.E., to ^455 i8s. at 
 Domesday, or nearly 23 per cent. It is improbable that the 
 decrease occurred during William's reign. Much as he loved 
 sport, he valued money more. Nor is it probable that it 
 occurred during the reign of Edward the Confessor, for no 
 forests or chases were laid down in most of the wasted manors ; 
 we know that, from the record of the population remaining. 
 We therefore necessarily conclude that the assessment of T.R.E. 
 was the old assessment of King Canute and his Danish 
 successors, and hence possibly in hatred of the tax, we find 
 it still called Dane gelt in the reign of the Plantaganets : this, 
 and not the popular notion of it, is probably the truth. The 
 learned reader inust also be cautioned from a too great reliance 
 upon other portions of Mr. Ey ton's tables, especially those of 
 wood acreages. The Domcsda}' Commissioners calculated 
 them very roughly, rarely condescending to a less measure 
 than half a mile. A wood of two miles long by one and a half 
 broad, and so fortii, evidently mere guesses, for in a hilly county 
 like Derbyshire it would be difficult, even in these days, to find 
 a wood at all similar in shai)c to a parallelogram. 
 
 The author has not been able to discover the data on which 
 Mr. Kyton founds his reputed arable acreages. It is probable
 
 ^A 
 
 I'.OOK oi i>nMi':sn.\v 
 
 that ho obtained it l)y .ukliiii; the miinber of cariicates and 
 bovatcs, which are invariably set down in Domesday after the 
 enumeration o\ the liidal assessment. If, instead of calculating 
 this sum in acres, it liad been left in carucates, it would have 
 been of far orreater value, as it would have shown how many 
 carucates escaped as.sessment. Takintj^ the liberty of calculating 
 it upon this basis, and with Mr. Eyton's table of 48 acres 
 to the carucate, we find that only 693 carucates were gcldable, 
 out of a gro.ss number of 18S7, or little more than one-third of 
 the land under plough cultivation ; and, taking the gross 
 acreage only, that number, out of 8825, or calculating it in acres, 
 only 33,264 acres were hidable, out of a gross sum of 423,594, 
 or only about one-thirteenth of the whole county. The accuracy 
 of this calculation, however, depends upon the correctness of 
 Mr. Eyton's assumption that a carucate contained only 48 
 acres. In all probability the true measure of a carucate is 
 nearly three times as much. 
 
 It would appear that much of the confusion which exists 
 between the terms hide and carucate, is attributable to the 
 changes made in the assessment of landed property by Arch- 
 bishop Hubert, in 1 198, a most important event in feudal 
 histors', which will be noticed hereafter. His Commissioners, 
 in order to prevent loss to the Exchequer, determined in a 
 kind of sub-parliament (equivalent to a sitting of the House 
 of Commons), that in future the carucate throughout the whole 
 country should consist of lOO acres, and thus confusing the 
 ploughland with the hide. 
 
 General Wrottesly observes that " Staffordshire was assessable 
 to the geld tax to the extent of only 440i hides, and which 
 left a large area ungeldable, not," he observes, " by reason of 
 the accidental privilege in favour of the king's writ, but of 
 immemorial prescription." He adds that " the rate of assess- 
 ment for the year was 2.s. per hide." This is probably arrived 
 at by calculating the scutage at ten hides, and dividing by the 
 well-known amount of £j per knight's fee.

 {Thfse Entries an- taken from the Nottinghamshire Survey.') 
 
 In the Borough of Derby, T. R. K., there were residing cc. and 
 xliii. burgesses, and to that borough adjoins xii. carucates of land 
 hidable, which viii. ploughs can plough. This land was divided 
 between xli. burgesses, who had xii. ploughs, ii. parts of the tax 
 and toll forfeitures, and of every custom, are the King's, and a \ 
 part the Earl's. In the .same borough there was in the King's 
 demesne i. church with vii. clerks who held freely ii. carucates of 
 land in Chester. There was likewise another church of the 
 King's, in which vi. clerks likewise held ix. bovates of land freely 
 in Cornun and Detton. In the town itself there were xiv. mills. 
 Now, there are c. burgesses there, and xl. other le.sser ones. c. 
 and iii. houses are waste, which rendered tax. There are now x. 
 mills there, and xvi. acres of meadow. Underwood, iii. furlongs 
 in length and ii. in breadth. T. R. E., it rendered in the whole 
 x.xiv. pounds ; now, with the mills and the town of Ludecerce it 
 renders xxx. pounds. 
 
 M. In Ludecerce the King has ii. carucates of land hidable. 
 Land for iii. ploughs. There is i. soke-man, and ix. villanes 
 having ii. ploughs and xii. acres of meadow. 
 
 In Derby, the Abbot of Burton has i. mill, and i. masure of 
 land with sac and soc, and ii. masures of which the King has soc, 
 and xiii. acres of meadow. 
 
 Geoffrey Alselin has i. church, which belonged to Tochi. 
 Ralph Fitzhubert i. church, winch belonged to Leuric, with i. 
 carucate of land. Norman de Lincolia i. church, which belonged 
 to Brun. Edric has there i. church which belonged to Coin his 
 father. Earl Hugh lias ii. masures and i. fishery with sac and 
 soc. Henry de Ferrers in like manner, iii. masures with sac and 
 soc. Osmer, the priest, has i. bovate of land with sac and soc. 
 Godwin, the priest, in like manner, i. bovate of land. 
 
 At the feast of Saint Martin the burgesses render to the King 
 xii. thraves of corn, of which the Abbot of Burton has xl. sheaves.
 
 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 69 
 
 Moreover, in the same borough, there are viii. masures with sac and 
 soc. These belonged to Algar, now they are the King's. 
 
 The two parts of the King's moneys and the Earl's 3, which 
 
 and censur 
 
 issue from Apletree in Derberic Wapentake, are in the hand of 
 the Sheriff, by the testimony of the two shires. 
 
 Of Stori, the ancestor of Walter de Aincurt, the Jury find, 
 that without the license of any one, he might for himself make 
 there a church on his own land and soke, and assign as much of 
 his tithe as he pleased. 
 
 In Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, if tlie King's peace, given 
 by his hand or seal, should be broken, it is made good by xviii. 
 hundreds. Each hundred viii. pounds. Of this amend the King 
 has ii. parts, the Earl the ^. That is to say, xii. hundreds 
 compensate the King, and vi. the Earl. If any one should be 
 outlawed according to law for any offence, no one but the King 
 can restore to him peace. A thane having more than vi. manors 
 does not give relief for his land, except only viii. pounds to the 
 King. If he has only vi. or less, he gives iii. marks of silver to 
 the Sheriff as a relief, wherever he resides, in the borough or 
 without. If a thane having sac and soc should forfeit his land, 
 the King and the Earl have the moiety of his land and chattels 
 between them, and the lawful wife with his lawful heirs, if there 
 are such, have the other moiety. 
 
 Here are noted those who have soc and sac and thol and 
 thaem, and the King's custom of ii. pence. 
 
 The Archbishop of Vork, upon his manors, and Godeva the 
 Countess, upon Newerk Wapentake. And Ulf Fcnisc upon his 
 land. The Abbot of Burgh upon Colingeham. The Abbot of 
 Bcrtune. Earl Hugh upon Marcheton. The Bishop of Cliester. 
 Tochi. Suen, the son of Suanc. Siuuard birn. Azor, the son 
 of Saleue. Ulric cilt. Elsi illinge. Lcuuin, the son of Aluuin. 
 The Countess yElveva. The Countess Goda. Elsi, the son of 
 Cashin upon Werchessope. Henry de Ferrers upon P2dnodcs- 
 tunc and Dubridge and Breilesfordhani. Walter do Aincurt 
 upon Granebi and Mortune and Pinncslcig. Of all these no one 
 could have the ^ penny of the h^arl unless by his consent, and 
 that only as long as he lived, except the Archbishop and Ulf 
 Fenisc and the Countess Godeva. 
 
 Upon the Soke which is at Cliftune, tiic Earl ought to have 
 tile :, part of all customs and work.s.

 The king's under-tenants at Domesday were very few in 
 
 number; perhaps they were purposely oiriitted. 
 WiUiam Pcverel kept for the king ICdensor, Mope, and Mapelton. 
 Coin held Peverewie. 
 Robert, Tibcel.
 
 72 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 Hildcbrand, Aeston and Serdelau. 
 
 In the time of Kiiiij Edward several of the Royal Princes held 
 
 part of these demesnes. 
 Earl Algar held Bretibi, Middelton, Nentonc, Rapendon, Red- 
 
 lavcston, Waletune, and Westune. 
 Lewin and Edwin (two of the Princes) held Oneston and 
 
 Normantune ; with Levenct, Leuric held Dentine ; and with 
 
 Chetel, Langelic and Chatworde ; he also alone held 
 
 Chesuuorde and Chetesuarde and Padfeld. 
 Hundolf held Waletune. 
 
 Ligulf, Langedenedele, Tornscte, and Tibcel. 
 Brun, Lodeuuorde. 
 Caschin, Aiune. 
 Eliner, Ceolchal and Hedfelt. 
 Godric, Chendrc and Begele. 
 Stapuline, Maperlie. 
 
 No. II. THE LAND OF THE BISHOP OF CHESTER. 
 
 The Bishop himself held Salle, Draicot, Aitone, and Biibdene. 
 We do not know the value of the great manor of Salle. Sawley 
 was a hundred in itself; nor is the value of Draicot and 
 Opeuuelle given. Eaton was worth ;^8 ; Bubdene, £]. His 
 only tenant was Ralf fitz Hubert. For Opeuuelle there is no 
 record of any tenant T. R. E. No doubt these manors were 
 then part of the Bishop's possessions. 
 
 No. III. THE TENANTS OF THE ABBOT OF 
 
 BURTON. 
 
 The Abbot of Burton held the whole of his estate in demesne. 
 He held Ufre, with its berewites ; Parva Ufre, Findre, Potlac 
 and its sokes ; Snellestune, Berucrdescote, Dellingeberie, 
 Hougen, Redesleie, Sudberie, Hiltune and Sudtun, Apelby, 
 Wineshalle, Cotune, Stapenhille, Caldewelle, and Tichenhalle. 
 It was worth altogether ;^22 ; in the time of Edward, £2>Z ^O^. 
 Then Earl Algar held two carucates in Cotune ; and Abbot 
 Leuric made over a carucate in Apelby to the Countess Goda ;
 
 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 73 
 
 whilst Alfric held Caldewelle, which manor, however, did not 
 belong to the Abbey T. R. E., King William having given it to 
 the Monks for his beneficium. 
 
 No. IV. THE EARL OF CHESTER 
 
 Had only a small holding in this County. He had in demesne 
 Merchestone (which had been Earl Siward's, worth only £^) and 
 its berewites of Chenuestun and Macheuorde and Adelardestreu, 
 v/hich Gozelin held of him, and Colle of Gozelin, for los. 8d. 
 yearly. 
 
 No. V. THE LAND OF ROGER POICTOU. 
 
 Of the barony of this great personage we know but little. 
 He was evidently out of favour with the king, for he had his 
 estates in his hands, but not, as it would seem, as an escheat ; for 
 here, as in other places, Roger de Poictou is still styled the 
 tenant-in-capite. The manors were Sutton, Bectune, Lunt, 
 Steinesbi, Tunstal, Blanghesbi, Hertstolf, and VVinfeld, and 
 Steinulf held the whole of them T. R. E. but the last, which 
 Elnod then held ; and at the date of Domesday Robert 
 (probably de Heriz) held this manor of Earl Alan, who held it 
 under William Peverel. This manor of South Winefeld was the 
 only one held by Earl Alan (Richmond) in this county. 
 
 No. VI. THE TENANTS OF HENRY DE FERRARS. 
 
 The Earl of Ferrars held in demesne fifty-seven manors : — 
 Winbroc, Eltune, Branzintune, Bradburne, Tizincton, Hortedun, 
 Salham, Pilsburie, Lodouuelle, Etelaue, Ednunghalle, Bolun, 
 Linctune, Wivelslei, Stantunc, 2 Heorteshornes, Farulveston, 
 Scrotun, Brocton, 2 Holmtune, 2 Sirelic, Braidclci, Mcschctune, 
 Faitunc, Stretune, Northberie, Roschinton, Duvcllc, Bradelci, 
 Holbroc, Mulcford, Maclienie, Mcrdibi, Spondunc, Pirchiie, 
 Longcsdune, Stantunc, Barcoucre, llortcl, Giolgravc, Middcltunc, 
 Gratune, Wrucnelc, Muchcdcsuucllc, Barvve, Sorchestun, Erles- 
 tune, Tuifordc, Stcintune, Osmundcston, Codetunc, Estun, 
 Radburne, Edncsuvrc.
 
 74 HOOK OF DOMESDAY. 
 
 The cMcler of these manors is that of Domesday. 
 
 The foUowinG^ are the names of his tenants which are to be found 
 in Domcsdaj', and tlu\\-, probabl}', arc the very knij^hts, or the 
 ancestors of tlie 26 kniL;hts asserted by WilHam, Earl Ferrars, 
 early in the reign of iienry II., to have been enfeoffeed by 
 Robert de Ferrars, his grand I'atlier, not out of his demesne, but 
 out of that of his father, that is, of Henry de Ferrars of Domesday. 
 (Red Book of the Exchequer.) It must be noted that the attempt 
 to identify them with the families who subsequently held the 
 estates is only tentative.. It is made with the full knowledge that 
 great danger of falling into error exists in taking this course, and 
 that very possibly after enquiries will cause an alteration. It is also 
 made with this reserve, that although generally all the manors 
 are grouped under one name, it by no means follows that there 
 were not several persons of the same name, and that is especially 
 probable in the first name which follows ; and it may be the case 
 also, that where the names are separated, the entries properly 
 relate to one person : — 
 
 1. Alcher held Estune, Sudberie, and Somersale. These 3 
 
 manors were held by the Montgomeries subsequently. 
 
 4. Segishale. Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt identifies this place with 
 
 Sedsall, neither of which places are found in Lysons. 
 
 5. Eiton. This manor was held by Tuberville. Wm. fil 
 
 Alcher and Geoffery his son were knights of the Earl of 
 Derby, tcmpe Henry II. 
 
 2. Alric held Somersale. Probably the same person as Alcher. 
 
 3. Alsi held Gheveli. Probably the same person as Elsin No. 8. 
 
 4. Amalric held Chelardestun and Normanton. The ancestor 
 
 i:irobably of the family of the name of Cheladestun, who 
 became extinct about the time of King John. Robert 
 fil Rich de Normanton was a knight of Earl Ferrars, 
 tempe Henry II. 
 
 5. Ascelin Goisfred held Turalveston. This was probably the 
 
 fee which Robert de Chauccs held, tempe Henry I. 
 
 6. Clielel held Moggington. 
 
 7. Cola held Winstune and Geldeslie. Robert, his son, sold 
 
 them to the Monjoies.
 
 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. 75 
 
 8. Elsin held Brailsford, the 2 Bubdens, Osmondestune, Torver- 
 
 destune, and Geveley. 
 
 9. Godric held Sothell and Walestune. The first place is clearly 
 
 Shottle in Duffield ; and Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt identifies 
 Walestune also with a vill in that great manor. 
 
 10. Gulbert held Chedelestune. Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt identifies 
 
 this place with Kedleston, if that be so, this knight was 
 probably the ancestor of the Curzon family. 
 
 11. Henry held Burnaleveston and Bereuuerdicote. This knight 
 
 was probably Henry de Cambrics, who is mentioned in the 
 certificates of said \Vm. Ferrars, and who attested his 
 charter to Wm. Pantoul. 
 
 12. Henry held Morlei. 
 
 13. Herbert held Bradestune. Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt identifies 
 this place with Breaston, Earl Roger de Busli's manor, but 
 this appears to be doubtful. 
 
 14. Hugh held Toxenai. Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt identifies this 
 
 place with Trusley, and Lysons would identify his descen- 
 dants with Hugh le Arbalaster of the time of Henry H., 
 but at that time Robert de Trusley was a Knight of this 
 Barony, and in Henry L reign William de Trusley, his 
 father, held his fee. 
 
 15. Nigel held Chetune. This was undoubtedly Nigel Albini, 
 
 who married the daughter of Henry de Ferrars. 
 
 16. Orm held Widerdestune, Dulvestune, and Iretune. 
 
 17. Radulf Barchetune and Alchementune. This, no doubt, was 
 
 de Bakepuz. 
 
 18. Radulf held Snelleston and Cobelai. This is equally clearly 
 
 the ancestor of tlic Montgomery family. 
 
 19. Radulf held Benelei. 
 
 20. Robert held Eissi, Hiltune, and Turvadestune. This was 
 
 probably Robert Avenel de Bosciiville. 
 
 21. Robert held Bradeshelle and Mcrchencstunc. This was 
 
 probably Robert de Dun. 
 
 22. Roger held Crocheshale and Stretton. This was probably 
 
 the ancestor of de Camville, who brought it to Curzon. 
 
 23. Roger held Sapcrtunc, Bfjilston, Merchenestunc.
 
 76 BOOK OP^ DOMESDAY. 
 
 24. Suan held CoUei. Adam fil Swain licld it in the time of 
 
 Henry II. 
 
 25. Saswalo held Hoge, Hatune, and Etewell. His sons Henry 
 
 and Fulc held 9 manors tcmpe Henry I., and in the reign of 
 his grandson thc\' were held l>y the co-heirs of Henry, yet 
 the Heralds claim these Knights as the ancestors of the 
 noble house of Shirley. 
 
 26. Wazelin (Wachiline) held Sutton. 
 
 27. William held Sedenefield. Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt identifies 
 
 this place with Sinfin. If this be so, the probability is that 
 this William is the ancestor of the family of Toke, of whom 
 both William and Humfrey flourished in the reign of 
 Henry II. 
 
 No. VII. THE TENANTS OF WILLIAM PEVEREL. 
 
 William Peverel himself held the land of the Forest of 
 Pechefers, which Gernebern and Hundinc held T. R. E. Brade- 
 welle, which Leuing, Sprot, and Owini held ; Heselbec and 
 Leitun, which Lewine held ; and Hochelai, Habenai, and 
 Waterfeld, which Ernui, Hundulf, Uluric, Suuan, and Lewine had 
 held, at that period they were waste. 
 
 Robert (de Heriz .'*) held Bolsover, which Lcuric had held. 
 T. R. E. Silo (de Pleslie ?) held Glapwelle, also held by Leuric ; 
 Drogo held Esnotrewic formerly Aldene's ; Edwin held Norman- 
 ton, formerly Elfag's ; and Warner (dc Insula?) held Sireland, 
 Uftune, Cotenoure, Hainoure, Langeleleie, and Smithcote, part 
 of which Leuric had held ; and the rest, which 8 Thanes formerly 
 held. 
 
 No. VIII. THE LAND OF WALTER AINCOURT. 
 
 Walter de Aincourt kept the whole of his Derbyshire manors 
 in demesne. T. R. E. Swain Cilt the younger had held all but 3 
 and h bovates and 4 acres, which Wade held. 
 
 The names of his 1 1 manors were Mortune, Oughedestune, 
 Winstanestunc, Brandune, VVadescel, Pinneslei, Caldecotes, 
 Wilelmstorpe, with Soke in Winefelt and Toptune, Holmesfelt,
 
 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. JJ 
 
 Helmetune, and Holtune. They contained together 6 car. 4 bov., 
 I, J, and 12 acres, and were worth hy the year ^19 5s. 4d. 
 
 No. IX. THE LAND OF GOISFRED ASCELIN. 
 
 Goisfred Ascelin had in his demesne the manors of Aelwoldes- 
 tune, Emboldestune, Torulfdestune and Aleuuoldestune, Ednod- 
 estune and Hoilant, Ochebroke and Breaston, all which Tochi 
 held T. R. E. Azelinus (Anselin or Lanceline, his chief tenant 
 in Nottingham) held Eghintune, which Tochi also held, and 
 Etewelle, formerly held by Dunstan. It measured 22 carucates 
 and I bovate altogether, besides the waste, of which there was 
 probably much, for its value had been £2<^ T. R. E., now it was 
 only worth £\6 19s. 6d. 
 
 No. X. THE LAND OF HUBERT FITZ RALE. 
 
 He held in demesne 12 manors with their berewites — Echinton, 
 Moresburg, Bettune, Ougcdeston, Middelton, Heresage with its 
 berewites, BanforJ, Heret, half Offerton, two parts of Middletune, 
 Hortil, Boletune, VVilletune, Langelei, Beledene, and Engelbi, 
 land at Wirksworth, Lede, and Tincslege, part of Crich, Cliptane, 
 Ripley, and Pentricc, Bareuue, and Werradune. 
 
 1. Robert (de Meincl .^), his chief tenant held for 5 Knights' fees 
 
 7 manors in Barlburg, Witeuuelle, Clune, 2 Stratunes, Tcges- 
 ton, and Henelege, which Levenet and Lewric, the princes 
 before mentioned, held T. R. E. 
 
 2. Goisfred (de Ridel .') held Dachcmanestun, which Leuenct 
 
 held, and which afterwards Geoffry Ridel, the son of 
 Richard Basset, held by inheritance of the old feoffment. 
 
 3. Raynouard held Paltreton, Scardecliff, and Tunestal. 
 
 4. Ralf (fil Eudo ?) held Ncwtonc and Crich and Scochctorpe. 
 
 He eventually married the co-heiress of liis lord. Lcuric and 
 Lcuenot held the.se manors T. R. E. 
 
 5. Serlo (de Plcslic?) held Es.sovre, which the same tenant held 
 
 T. R. E. 
 
 6. Leuinc iield Wistancstune, soc to Crich. 
 
 7. Nigel held Uffretunc with its Berewic in Pentricc. 
 
 8. Colic held P.ohunc.
 
 yS HOOK or DOMESDAY. 
 
 No. XI. THE LAND OF RALF DE RURUN. 
 
 Ralf de Biiriin had but a .small holding in Derbyshire, only 
 between 7 and 8 carucate.s worth £y los., which Ul.si, Turgar, 
 O.-^niond. and Duii-stun had held T. R. E. He held in demesne 
 Horslee, Halun, and Herdibi. Westune was held of him by 
 Gulbert, and a knight unnamed held Denebi. 
 
 No. XH. THE LAND OF ASCUIT MUSARD. 
 
 He also had only a small Barony in this county, of which 
 Staveley was the head, the whole of which he held in demesne. 
 It consisted besides of Barleie, Holun, Wadecel, and Brantune, 
 and part of Ciiinewolde Marsh. His holding was nearly similar 
 in size and value to that of Ralf de Burun. 
 
 Hacon, Dunninc Bramuine, and Aluuold were the tenants 
 T. R. E. 
 
 No. XIII. THE LAND OF GILBERT DE GAND. 
 
 Ilkeston, Halun, Stanton and Shipley comprised this small 
 Baronj^ and the whole of it was held under the Earl by Malger 
 (no doubt his steward of Rolleston), and the ance.stor of that 
 family. Ulf Fenisc, Brun, and Odincar held it T. R. E. 
 
 No. XIV. THE LAND OF NIGEL DE STAFFORD. 
 
 This Baron had no under-tenants. He kept the whole of the 
 manors in demesne. It contained altogether 14 carucates and 3 
 bovates, and was then worth £6 14s. 6d. Some of the manors 
 were valued at a nominal rate — one at 4d., another 2d., — so that 
 they were probably greatly wasted. The names of his manors 
 were Drackelowe, the head of the Barony, Hethcote, Stapenhiil, 
 Suardingecotes, Fornewerche, Engelbi, Tichenhalle, Smidesbi, 
 Ravenestun, Durandstorp, Achetorp, Trangesby, and the tenants 
 T. R. E. were Godric, Elric, Ulchel, Eduin, Ernuin, and Elnod. 
 
 No. XV. THE LAND OF ROBERT FITZ WILLIAM 
 
 Consisted only of the manor of Stanley, which Ursar held 
 T. R. E., of the value of only los.
 
 BOOK OF DOMESDAY, 79 
 
 No. XVI. THE LAND OF ROGER DE BUSLI. 
 
 This great Nottingham and Yorkshire Baron had only one 
 manor, Rvgetorn, in demesne in this county. His chief tenant, 
 Ingram, held Norton and Elstretvne, which formerly Morcar's 
 (the Earl) Godeva (the Countess) and Bada held. Leuuine held 
 Bretune and Dore, which Swain (of Colley ?) and Eduuin formerly 
 held ; and Fulco held Braidestune and Riseleia, formerly held by 
 Leuuine, Ligulf, and Godric. 
 
 The King's Thanes were few in number, only 19, and some of 
 them did not hold the estates they formerly possessed. The 
 manors they held were neither important nor numerous, but 
 several of them will be found holding manors under Norman 
 Loris, with many others of their nation. 
 
 1. Alden held Ulwritune, which Alun formerly held. 
 
 2. Algar held Ednunghall. 
 
 3. Dolfin held Topton and Taptune, which Bada formerly held. 
 
 3, Edmund held WUitune, formerly Auti's. 
 
 4, Ernuin held Clune T. R. E. and now, and Stanton, which 
 
 Edward formerly held, 
 
 5, 6, 7. Godrich, Edric, and Turgisle held Chinewaldcmersh. 
 
 8. Leuuine held Estune, formerly Tolf s and Stanley formerly 
 
 God rice's. 
 
 9. Leuuine, the son of, held Risley, which his father held 
 T. R. E. 
 
 10. Levenot held Mers, which was then waste. 
 
 11, 12. Leuric and Uctred held Barlcie. 
 
 13. Osmund Benz T. R. E., and then held Tichelston and part of 
 
 Sandiacre and Cellesden. 
 
 14. Toli held part of the two former places, which Canute and 
 
 Gladwin formerly held. 
 
 15. Tochi had part of Sandiacre. 
 
 16. Raven held part of Henlcie. 
 
 17. 18. Stinnulf and Dunning held Calehale, which formerly 
 Sberne and Hacon held, and whicii Dolphin then claimed. 
 
 19. Tolf held Totingleie.

 Note. — The modern names of many of these manors are 
 offered, but with great hesitation. For some of them proofs will 
 be given hereafter in the Parochial History ; for others, the author 
 relies upon the writings of Mr. Llewellynn Jewitt, Lysons, Eyton, 
 and WoUey, and other Derbyshire historians ; especially the 
 first-mentioned, whose valuable work upon Domesday has been 
 frequently referred to with advantage. The fear, however, is 
 entertained that far too many of the derivations here given 
 are mere guesses, and, as such, liable to error. County 
 Historians, as a rule, are too anxious to identify places, and 
 too ready to adopt any similarit}- in sound as proof of identity 
 in name. But it should be remembered that many Domesday 
 manors were waste even at that time, and that many more 
 must have become so since ; and the very site of some of such 
 places is lost, and that, on the other hand, manors were 
 frequently created down to the date of the statute which prohibi- 
 ted subinfeudation, and, also, that often old names (those of their 
 lords) were given to them. And, above all, it must be borne 
 in mind that nearly half the names of the present places in 
 Derbyshire are not mentioned in Domesday — some of them 
 now, and perhaps then, large towns, such as Belper, Matlock, 
 Borrowash, Butterley, Chapel-en-le -Frith, Clay Cross, Pleasley^ 
 and scores of others, many of which, no doubt, existed, at 
 any rate as vills, before Domesday, but were not visited by the 
 Commissioners, becau.se it was known that they paid no hide. 
 It is considered certain that the Commissioners had written
 
 BOOK OF DOMESDAY. S7 
 
 instructions to guide them. It is difficult to believe that 
 Chesterfield is identical with the small place mentioned in 
 Domesday, a mere Berewic of Newbold ; or that Alfreton is 
 to be found under the name of Elstreton. Both were probably 
 important stations even at that date, but for some cause — 
 perhaps they were the head-quarters of different members of the 
 royal family, or of some court favourite — they were especially 
 exempted. With regard to Alfreton, it is tolerably clear that 
 Roger de Busli succeeded here, as well as elsewhere, to the 
 possessions of Earl Morcar and the Countess Godiva, who held 
 Alfreton and Norton ; and these two small places comprised the 
 Barony of Ingelram, whose son Ranulf was Sheriff of Notting- 
 ham and Derby. Yet Elstreton, of Domesday, was assessed 
 at 30s. (it had previously been 20s.), and Norton at is. 6d. Is 
 it possible that so small a holding could have formed the 
 barony of so important a person as Ranulf fil Ingleram ? 
 Again, Peak Castle is not assessed at all, although the land, 
 about it, is assessed at 40s. ; and a castle at Bolsover is not even 
 mentioned. But it is clear from the geographical position of 
 both places (as from the actual mention of Peak), that both 
 were great strongholds at this period, and long previously. 
 These facts should prevent a too rash acceptance of an identity. 
 Besides, it must be recollected that frequently the same names 
 were given to more than one place, especially to newly-created 
 manors, and that we have now perhaps only knowledge of one 
 of them. 
 
 A curious instance of the danger of rashly accepting a 
 possible identity exists in the case of Abney. Every Derbyshire 
 historian without exception identifies it with Henry Ferrars' 
 wasted manor of Habenai, which, with other places, was wasted 
 (probably purposely) for the chase. But actual proof exists in 
 numerous charters, of the Abney family, that their name, and 
 the name of the manor, was Albini, a family who had but little 
 connection with the County at this early period, and whose 
 name has no affinity with Habenai. 
 
 With reference to Chesterfield, it is quite clear that there 
 were two places of this name in Derbyshire. Of this we have 
 actual proof in that most valuable record, " The Testa de 
 Ncvil." Hut the lesser Chesterfield is lost. The Testa records 
 "That there was one carucate in Chesterfield in Wingcrworth,
 
 88 BOOK or DOMESDAY. 
 
 anciently of the soke of Chesterfield," and it was given to^the 
 ancestor of Wachiline de Ferrars by King William the Bastard. 
 Now, it niij^ht have been contended that Chesterfield was a 
 berewite o( Wingerworth before it became a bercwite of 
 Newbokl. But that is impossible in face of the finding of the 
 jury that formerly the Chesterfield in Wingerworth was of the 
 soke of Chesterfield : that is, that the smaller Chesterfield was 
 a member of the latter. It is a curious fact that Wingerworth 
 itself, at Domesday, was not recorded as a member of Chesterfield, 
 as it is now esteemed ; that record states that it had a soke of 
 its own. In later times it is treated as a chapelry of Chesterfield, 
 and ecclesiastical reasons may account for this fact. Again, 
 Chesterfield had a church, for William Rufus gave it to Lincoln, 
 Very possibly the bishop had the town as well. It is im- 
 probable that a mere berewite to Newbold would have one. 
 Wm. Rufus gave the church of Chesterfield, with those of 
 Mansfield, and two other manors ; and he actually includes the 
 lands and chapels which belonged to each of those four manors 
 (calling them manors in the document). It is clear that the 
 second Chesterfield, which was then soke to the greater, was not 
 the berewite of Newbold, or it would have been described as of 
 the soke of that place ; and it is clear, also, that Chesterfield at 
 the time of Domesday was an important place, holding eccle- 
 siastical sway over many surrounding places, including Newbold 
 itself, just as it does at the present day. So, too, with 
 regard to Eckington, it is hardly likely that this important 
 manor, the head of Ralf fitz Hubert's barony, which Domes- 
 day records contained four carucates, and had been worth 
 £y, was identical with the berewite of that name in Newbold. 
 Newbold, with seven berewites, including Chesterfield, had only 
 seven carucates, and had been worth only £6, although then 
 the relative values had altered. Besides, the fact that Eckington 
 was recorded separately as a manor, is sufficient to show it is 
 a different place altogether from the Newbold berewite. If 
 that were situated in Eckington Manor, it would have been 
 described, not as a berewite, but as a soke of Newbold in 
 Eckington. This .second Eckington may be found somewhere 
 else. The learned reader must therefore accept these possible 
 derivations as intended generally to identify the name and not 
 the place.

 The Author has the gratification to receive permission to publish the 
 following very generous criticism of the First Part of this Work from the 
 pen of Mr. Thomas Helsby, the learned Editor of the last edition of 
 Ormerod's Historv of Cheshire, who writes : — 
 
 " I have had the pleasure and profit just lately of perusing an admirable book of 
 the kind (Mr. Pym Yeatman's recent \vorl< on the Earls of Arundel), which contains 
 a great amount of entirely orii,'inal matter, with all doubtful points acutely raised, and 
 well — almost intensely — argued, showing the zeal and pains which have backed up the 
 learned Author's judicinl powers and natural acumen. Of course, like all other 
 history, this one of a family which represents in tiie aggregate avast extent of Norman 
 and English territory, is of a tentative character, but the valuable historical and 
 genealogical matter is purified from the ordinary dross of such productions by having 
 had the advantage of passing through a mind evidently thoroughly capable of reducing 
 it into that slate best suited for the critical reader ; although repetitions may be found 
 numerous enough in works of this kind, they have their use in constantly keeping 
 before the mind of the reader facts and arguments that less tenacious and ordinary 
 minds would let slip." 
 
 And the following from Sir Bernard Burke, Ulster King at Arms, 
 with reference to the whole book : — 
 
 " What a wi.ndrous store of information you have laid up for genealogists in your 
 grand ' History of the House of Arundel.' I am at every leisure moment poring over 
 its contents."

 FHiST NOTICE. 
 
 " In an age when the press teems with stately folios, lumbering weak-backed 
 quartos, and even with octavos, of History, Genealogy, and Archieology, every one 
 of taste and learning may be congiatulaied on the birlh of a new folio of great 
 originality and meiit, and from the true historical standpoint. ' The History of the 
 House of Arundel,' taking us back for a jicriod of looo years, is one of those Works 
 which may well have emiJJoyed the valuable hours of a member of the learned pro- 
 fession to which the Author, Mr. Yealmaii, belongs. The judicial f;icullics which he 
 has brou'^ht to bear upon his subject have, on the whole, thrown so searching a light 
 upon some lf)ng-binied points in national history, as well as genealogical problems, 
 that the volume will be hailed by every scholar of unbiassetl mind with the cordiality 
 it ficserves. 'The I'^nrly History of the House of Arundel' is that of many of the 
 most Hisl(jiic Eamilies in this country and in France ; and the bridge, which hitherto 
 has been almost of the flimsiest character, is now fairly established u])on the sound 
 Ija'-is of numerous, if often fr.igmcntary, facts — worked together, it may be, by some 
 defective arguments, by much necessary repetition, dry and wearying details, but, on 
 the whole, with a sagacity and acumen that redeems the work from all reproach."
 
 " Notliiii£^ can well he of fjreator interest to the student than the genealogical 
 connection of this kingiloni with that of our continental neij4lil)t)urs and the old 
 nuchies of Normandy and Hrittany. Absolutely little of coMse(|uence was known 
 (and this far from accurately) until the inihlication by the late distinguished Herald, 
 Mr. Planche, of his 'William the Conqueror and his Companions.' Sir Francis 
 Palgrave in his Work was barred from going into all those details of history so neces- 
 sary to a just appreciation of the connection of the ruling houses of England and 
 Normandy, but his elo(]uenl sketches of the Duchy will never fade from the memory 
 of the cultivated ^o long as history holds its domain in the human nund. Other 
 gentlemen of repute have since written upon this subject more or less fully ; but it 
 Sfcms to have remained for the present learned Author to unearth from the various 
 archives of the French Republic, and from the great stores of materials in the Pipe 
 Rolls and the Red Hook of the ICxchequer, and those in the possession of the Duke of 
 Rutland and Lord Aruntlel of Wardour (extending in date from the reigns of the 
 Dukes of Normandy and regularly down to the time of Henry III. of England), a 
 large amount of original information, which, although of so fragmentary a character 
 in many cases as to necessitate the utmost industry, skill and circumspection in using, 
 lias enabled Mr. Veatman to give to the reader something approaching a sound and 
 reliable Work on this interesting period of Anglo-Norman history." 
 
 SECOND NOTICE. 
 
 " To handle all the multitude of facts in this book (far exceeding in number, and 
 often in abstruse significance any disclosed in the greatest cause cclebr'e), and to deal 
 with them in a comprehensive manner, giving full effect to the numerous subtleties 
 of meaning they often disclose, requires a grasp of intellect which can never be too 
 fully appreciated. It is not surprising then if some should slip out of hand, 
 and it would ill become the critic to score his page with black marks where there 
 is abundance of merit so conspicuous to compensate for almost any degree of 
 shortcoming, especially in a costly first edition which cannot easily very soon be 
 supplanted by a second. 
 
 "In conclusion, the least that can be said of 'The History of the House of 
 Arundel ' is, that it is an admirable collection of facts ; and, if for this reason 
 only, is very valuable, but its facts are skilfully arranged, and the learned Author 
 has placed them in the most candid manner in every conceival)le light before the 
 reader, however laboured his efforts may occasionally appear ; and after the judg- 
 ment and research displayed in this work, if he has failed to command, he has 
 certainly deserved success. As a volume for the earnest student of both direct 
 and circumstantial evidence, it is to be warmly commended ; and the many tabular 
 pedigrees will repay the perusal of every one interested in the stream of history 
 which connects so many of the past and present races with those of our own. We 
 cordially congratulate Mr. Yeatman on the production of this admirable book." 
 
 From the " Bristol and Gloucester Archeelogical Journal," 
 Vol. VII., Part I., a criticism by Sir John MacLean of Bicknor 
 
 Court : 
 
 "The chapter on the settlement of the house of St. Sauveur, in the West of 
 Englaml, will be found of special interest to our readers, inasmuch as it gives the 
 origin of many ancient families in the western counties, but the space at our 
 disposal will not admit of our entering into details. 
 
 " To compile an authentic pedigree of one ancient family is no light task, 
 but to grapple with those of many of the Norman nobility and trace their 
 descendants respectively from original authorities is a work of Herculean labour, 
 and Mr. Yeatman's Book, when completed, will form a monument of industry and 
 patient research. He seems to be well acquainted with the several personages who 
 come within his range, and, throughout all their shifting scenes, maintains, upon 
 the whole, a firm grasp of their individuality. That there are many, and possibly 
 important, mistakes in such a work would be unavoidable, and some of the state- 
 ments made seems to us not to be vouched for by sufficient evidence ; nevertheless 
 allowing for all these errors and shortcomings, the Work will prove a most useful 
 contribution to English history and genealogy."

 " Every one must own the clearness ot style, the cogency of argument, the wealth

 the criticism on the Aryan Theory, &c., will seem like an unpleasant revelation, but 
 we strongly suspect it will be found far from easy to answer this book." — The Metro-

 " Mr. Veatman is one who has had the courage to combat popular opinion on 
 Philology. Should the statements contained in the boolc lying before us be true, 
 and to bear testimony without prejudice, we think it will be no light task to prove the 
 basis of his theory to be untrue, the Oxford School of Philology is undubitably 
 worthless, especially Max Miiller's Aryanic Theory, which, in plain language, rejects 
 the Mosaic Account of the Early History of Mankind, and holds up the Sanscrit to 
 be the parent of all languages." — The Auckland Times [ist Notice), 26//^ Sept., 1879.

 "The work of transcribing, translating and editing these archives was entrusted 
 to the capable pen of Mr. Pym Yeatman, and most ably has he done his task. The

 "The work has been most ably done by Mr. Yeatman, than whom no one could

 value." — The Reliquary, April, 1S85.— 15y the Editor. 
 
 " This little book deals with a subject that is very interesting just now, and the 
 records quoted by the Author, from documents relating to the Borough Courts of 
 Chesterfield, are exceedingly curious. Mr. Yeatman gives some curious facts from 
 Manor records and elsewhere, and his essay appears to us to contain some important 
 facts wliich are well worth close attention from those whose special study it is to 
 reconsider the history of land-holding in England." — 'The Antiquary, December, 1884.

 AN INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF EARLY

 " 01(i-faslnonc(l people who believe in ' Mangnall's (^)ucsti()ns,' ' Pinnock's 
 Catechism of English History,' or in Hume and Suxjliett, will read this work with 
 fear and trembling. We are not prepared to endorse all the views set forth in these 
 pages, but the i)Ook is so immeasurably above the ordinary run of histories, whicii 
 are mere repetitions of facts previously invented and judiciously arranged, that we 
 must cordially advise every reader to study it intently.'
 
 Evening Standard, 12th November, 1874. 
 
 "This is a in.ist original Work, ovcrllowing vvilh learning, .-ind marked through- 
 out willi a coniplole mastery over the most minute details of this extensive sul)ject. 
 By (av the most inicrestini; portion of the Woik is the jiatient research shewn by the 
 Author into the oriL;in of the English language, and his dissertation on our Saxon 
 literature, laws, and customs. Some of the most dangerous errors of Drs. Marsh and 
 Latham are freely exposed, and with success ; with like freedom and success the his- 
 torical errors of Mr. Freeman, Lord Macaulay, and Sir Kdwaril Creasey, are brought 
 home to their several authors." 
 
 The Press, Philadelphia, 20th November, 1874. 
 
 "The present volume is a reniaikablc example of oriuiinal thought, historical 
 research, philosophical deduction, and hold disregard of the merely traditional views 
 of previous writers, who, taking too much for granted, have been content to travel in 
 beaten tracks merely because they are old. To a large extent the Author ignores the 
 claims of the Saxons as founders of either the language or the laws of England, and 
 doubts whether, indeed, they had a distinct nationality. The Work is earnest and 
 able." 
 
 The Law Review (EngHsh), Vol. III., N. S., p. 1139 (1S74). 
 
 " Mr. Yeatman writes vvilh all the spirit of a true antiquary. He has an ardent 
 appreciation of his subject, and pursues it with a keenness and a zest known only to 
 those who have for some time indulged in antiquarian research. His work turns up 
 much fertile soil, and though we do not concur in his main views, yet we willingly 
 recognise the general value of his treatise. Its main object seems to be to unearth 
 those jural elements that lie deep at the base of our laws, and to assign them, if 
 possible, to a British rather than a Saxon origin. In this view he is undoubtedly 
 nearer the truth than those writers — and they are legion, including the great 
 Blackstone himself — who ascribe a Saxon origin to our Common Law. 
 
 " His description of the influence of Roman jurisprudence on modern law 
 indicates much literary grace and skill. It is clear that Mr. Yeatinan is a rheto- 
 rician, and a poet of no mean order. If ever he divests his thoughts from the 
 Common Law, a boundless and more fertile field will lie before him in the domain of 
 general liteiature. He certainly has all the qualities that constitute a vigorous 
 writer. There is not anything improbable in most of Mr. Yeatman's views. His 
 work indicates great facility of composition, and an intimate familiarity with all the 
 leading arcana of Celtic lore." 
 
 The American Law Review, Vol. IX. (1^74-75), p. 123. 
 
 " Mr. John Pym Yeatman possesses at least two qualities in common with the 
 distinguished Englishmen whose name he bears — inde})endence and courage ; v\'ithout 
 the former he could not have written, without Hie latter he would hardly have 
 published, the extraordinary book which forms the sul)ject of this notice. Mr. 
 Yeatman has produced a remarkable book." 
 
 The Freeman's Journal (Dublin). 
 
 " Under this unpretending title Mr. Yeatman has given to the world a very 
 valuable book. His introduction is not, as such works usually are, a mere transcript, 
 more or less abridged, of the standard and approved authors on the subject. It is as 
 remarkable for the boldness and originality of its views as it is for patient research and 
 easy vigour of style. The author sets out with the theory that falsehood and exaggera- 
 tion have mingled so largely with the writings of English historians, more especially 
 since the Reformation, that it has become almost impossible to recognise the truth in 
 its twisted, distorted form. He contends that it is not in the history of the .Saxons, 
 but in the ignored history of the Celtic race, that England has to look for the origin 
 of all that she possesses that is valuable or noble — her language, her literature, her 
 Common Law, and her Constitution. In the course of his very able work he boldly 
 exposes the innumeraljle misrepresentations with which English hi>tory is underlaid, 
 and advances many strong and ingenious arguments in support of the theory he has 
 adopted. The book is characterised thrf)Ughout by a patient, industri"us, laborious, 
 and patient research, and an honest flesire to discover and declare the truth at all 
 hazards and under all circumstances."
