The Kings Thanes I might here proceed to recite out of this most excellent Record what Mannors each of these had and who had them in King Edward's time before the Conquest but to avoid repetition I shall only do it as I mention the several Townships in each Wapentac and begin with the most Southerly Rushcliff there written Risclive so called probably because the usual meeting place of the Hundred was at or near some Rushy Hill or Bank it now contains another Hundred which the Book of Doomsday in some place calls Plumptree Hundred In the Record called Nomina Villarum made in the ninth year of the Raign of King Edward the second Riseclive is returned but half a Wapentac and the King Lord of it in which there is no mention of the Town of Plumptrée nor of many other Villages which yet lie promiscuously amongst those that are there named so that we cannot certainly from thence conclude that those omitted made up Plumptrée Hundred Ioan the Wife of Thomas de Holland Chr. was found to be Sister and Heir of Iohn late Earl of Kent 26 E. 3. and aged 25 years who died seized of the Town of Allerton under Shirewood as in that place will also be noted and a certain Wapentac of Riscl and Plumptrée of the Towns there adjoining with the Pleas of Court then valued at l. 3s. 4d. per annum which I suppose was the Hundred Court The several Townships which now constitute or are contained in this Wapentac shall follow beginning with Stanford before named which is near the Town of Lughborough in the County of Leicester towards which 't is like there was some Stony ford in the River Soure upon which this Town of Stanford is scituate which occasioned its name Before the invasion of the Normans Elsi had a Mannor here which was charged to the Danegeld or Tax of those times as ten Bovats or Oxgangs The Land was then sufficient for two Ploughs or was esteemed two Carucats but afterwards it became the Fee of Roger de Busli whom King William the Conquerour made the greatest man of Lands in this County by many degrees for the great survey taken in that Kings Raign shows that in this small Shire he had one hundred seventy four Mannors being the best part of ninety Townships besides very many other Towns which were partly or wholly Soc to some of them His Seat in this County was at Blyth and in Yorkshire at Tikhill Here he had one Plough-land or Carucat five Sochmen or Free-holders three Villanes or Husbandmen two Bordars or Cotagers having two plows plow-lands or Carucats here was half a Mill six shillings eight pence and eleven Acres of Medow All which in the time of King Edward the Confessor were valued at thirty shillings but when this Doomsday Book was made viz. in the latter part of the Conquerors but at ten shillings having Soc in Normentune Ernaldus Rogerus de Busli ob 1099-Muriel Jordan de Bully Rogerus sine prole temp H. 1.

And in the year 1291. William Rotherfeild Prebendary of Bekingham resigning for that purpose the said Arch-bishop at his request and by the consent of the Chapters of York and Southwell did ordain the Church of North Leverton before a part of the Prebend of Bekingham to be a distinct one of it self and the Prebendary to have his Stall in the Quire on the North side next that of the Sacrist and his place in the Chapter-house duely assigned by the Chapter and to have and pay his Vicar Choral as the other Canons used and the said William Rotherfeild to enjoy Bekingham so divided during his time which made the number of the Prebends Sixteen as they now are which have been and are thus valued viz.   l. 3. d.

Anno 1155. King Henry the second disinherited William Peverel because of poyson given to Ranulph Earl of Chester About those times there were three Peverels of great note viz. Peverel of Dovor and Peverel of London and our Peverel of Notingham who is certainly intended by the last noted Chronicle as may further appear by an Instrument yet remaining in Sir Iohn Cotton's Library Sealed by Henry Duke of Normans c. afterwards King Henry the second being then at the Divises to Ranulph Earl of Chester wherein he gave him besides the said Earls own Inheritance in Normandy and England wholly as his Ancestors ever had it that in Normandy very particularly recited the whole Honour of Earl Roger Pictavensis where-ever and all the said Duke Henries Honour of Blye where-ever it was in England and the Honour of Eye as Robert Malet Uncle of the said Earl Ranulphs mother ever had it Moreover he gave him Stafford and Staffordesir and the County or Earldom of Stafford wholly whatever he had there in Fee and Inheritance except the Fee of the Bishop of Chester and of Earl Robert de Ferrariis and of Hugh de Mortuomari and of Gervas Paganell and except the Forest of Canoc which he the said Duke then retained in his hand He gave him the Fee of Alan de Lincolne who was also Uncle of the said Earls mother and the Fee of Ernis de Burun as his own Inheritance and the Fee of Hugh de Scoteiney where-ever it was and the Fee of Robert de Chalz where-ever it was and the whole Fee of Robert Fitz or son of Odo and the whole Fee of Norman de Verdun and the Fee of Robert de Stafford where-ever it was and 30l. Land which the said Duke Henry had in Grimesby he gave him and Notingham Castle and the Borough and whatever the said Duke had in Nottingham in Fee and Inheritance he gave to him and his heirs and the whole Fee of William Peverell where-ever it was unless he could dirationare se clear himself in the said Dukes Court of the wickedness and Treason except Hecham And if Engelram de Albamarlâ— would not take with the said Duke nor Earl Simon and he the said Duke could take the said Hecham by force he would restore it to the said Earl Ranulph if he would have it and Torchesci and Oswardebec Wapentac and Derby with all the Appurtenances and Maunsfeld with the Soch and Roclar with the Soch and Stanley by Coventre with the Soch and of Belvar he would hold him right as soon as he should be able as of the said Earls Inheritance and to the said Earls six Barons he would give each an hundred pound Land which they should chuse of those which the said Duke should happen to get of his enemies and to all the said Earls friends parentibus he would restore their Inheritance whereof he had power c. Howbeit the said Earl Ranulf of Chester did not enjoy any long possession of those places in this County for the Sheriffs answered to the King for the profits of the Lands of William Peverell and the Scutages of the Tenants of his Fee as in the Pipe Rolls of Henry the second and the succeeding Kings may be seen and in divers other places of this Book for the rest Margaret the daughter and at length heir of William Peverell of Nottingham was wife of William Earl of Ferrars and Derby son of Robert the younger Earl of Ferrars and of Nottingham and she had a son Robert Earl of Ferrars who in the time of King Henry the second perhaps because he could not inherit was the more willing to burn Nottingham which he did it seems together with his son William Grandson of the said William and Margaret which said William Earl of Ferrars the Grandson was outed of his Earldoms of Nottingham and Derby by King Richard the first who gave them to Iohn Earl of Moreton afterwards King his brother who thereupon 't is like grew more willing to interest himself in these parts which he did by granting a Charter to this Town of Nottingham and some way or other pleasing of the Gentry of the Country so well that he led the most of them into Rebellion as in sundry places of this Book concerning divers particular persons of them may be observed But of these Peverells I have found no more saving that there was a Fine in the Kings Court at Nottingham the Fryday after the Feast of St. Bartholomew 4 Ioh. before I. Bishop of Norwic Hugh Bardulf Iohn de Gestling Mr. Roger Arundell Hugh de Bobi the Kings Justices and others then there present between William Peverell Petent and Beatrice de Curcon Tenant of two Bovats of Land in Palterton thereby passed to her and her heirs paying 6d. per annum c. 'T is certain then that from the beginning of the Reign of Henry the second this Castle of Nottingham hath for the most part belonged to the Crown neither is there any place anything near so far distant from London that I know of in all England which hath so often given entertainment and residence to the Kings and Queens of this Realm since the Norman Conquest It is said that in the year 1194. King Richard being first loosed from his bonds the Castles of Nottingham and Tykehull resisted with force but the Castles of Lancaster and Merleburg and Mount Michael rendred themselves King Iohn in the sixth of his Reign commanded Reginald de Clifton that immediately upon sight of his Letters he should deliver to Robert de Veteriponte the Castle of Nottingham c. The like Command at that time had Hugh de Nevill for the Castle of the Pec William de Briewer for that of Bollesour and Sampson de Straclee Strelley concerning the Castle of Hareston Raph Fitz-Nicholas 10 H. 3. was Warden of Nottingham Castle he was Steward to William de Ferrariis Earl of Derby it seems King Henry the third being at Windsor 29 April 32 H. 3. committed to Robert le Vavassur the Countys of Nottingham and Derb. to be kept paying to the King 100l. per annum at his Exchequer for the issues of the said Counties besides fifty Marks which he was to pay every year to the Warden custodi of Nottingham Castle for the keeping thereof After the Battel at Lewes between King Henry the third and the Barons for determining the strife Edward the Kings eldest son was delivered for Pledge and afterwards was freed from
