Another Mannor here was which Tori Lord of Aslacton and many other Towns in this and other Counties had in which he was succeeded after the Normans came by Walterus de Ayencurt whose Fee it was and whose Man or Tenent Walchelin who held Aslacton also of him held it being rated to the Tax at two Bovats and an half and one Acre The Land one Carucat Here one Bordar plowed one Bovat and here was three Acres of Medow this was 10s. value in the Confessours time when the Conquerour took his Survey but 5s. That Roger before named who held that of Roger de Buslies Fee here held several very considerable Mannors of him in this County besides this viz. at Flintham Wisoe Gresthorp Normanton Clifton below Newark Tireswell Gringley Walkringham and Wirksop as the Book of Doomsday manifesteth in all which he was succeeded in the time of King Henry the first by William de Luvetot a very great man who by the consideration and consent of Emme his wife and their children which Emme I therefore conjecture was heir of that Roger did amongst the rest of the Churches of his Demesne of the honour of Blyth the Seat of the said Roger de Busli give this Church of Coleston to the Priory of Radford by Wirksop which he then Founded and besides his other endowments gave to it the tenth penny of all his set Rents both in Normandy and England Richard de Luvetot son of the said William the Founder by the consent of his own son and heir William confirmed and inlarged his Fathers gifts as here in Colestun the Church and two Bovats of his Demesne with one dwelling house In Wyshou also two Bovats of his Demesne and the like which Matilda de Lovetot daughter and heir of the latter William and wife of Gerard de Furnivalle also confirmed Yet the first William de Lovetot had another son besides Richard called Nigellus whose Barony lay in Huntingtonshire having only five Knights Fees of the Honour of Blyth added to it as by the Red Book in the Exchequer is manifest which five Knights Fees in this County lay all on this South side the River Trent And the said Richard and his posterity who had also Sheffeild and Halomshire in the County of York inherited only those Lordships of the first William Lord Lovetots which lay on the North side that River in this County of which Wirksop was the chief which accordingly descended through the Lords Furnivalls Nevill and Talbots Earls of Shrowsbury to the present Duke of Norfolk as in Wirksop more particularly will be declared Nigellus de Lovetot had his Seat at Wishou as in the Notes concerning that place may be observed as also the confirmations both of himself and of his sons as particularly that of his son Richard who by the consent of his brethren Roger Nigellus Robert and William de Lovetot his other sons confirmed the gifts of his and their ancestors to the said Priory of St. Cuthbert at Radford by Wirksop to which Robert de Lovetot who it seems had his residence here so as to be called of Coleston by the consent of Hugh his heir gave the Church of Coleston and the whole Village or Town of Sloswiâ— His next successour here whom I suppose son of Hugh was Robert de Lovetot who held a Knights Fee in Carcolinston of the honour of Tikhill whose son and heir was Oliver de Lovetot who had a son called Iohn who died about 26 E. 1. seized of this Mannor or Capital Messuage and Lands in Flintham c. leaving his three sisters his heirs Ioan first married to Robert Morin of Kilvington and then to Roger de Whatton called in several Records Roger de Skerington from his interest or residence there at that time having that Mannor of Scarington Isabell the second sister wife of Ranulf Morin and Alice the youngest then wife of William Morin The said Roger de Skerington and Ioan his wife and the rest of the said sisters and heirs of the said Iohn de Lovetot with their said husbands did homage and had Livery of their Lands 27 E. 1. and divided them and 28 E. 1. paid Relief for a Knights Fee here held of the honour of Thekill To Roger de Whatton King Edward the second committed the Mannor of Kesclingbury which was Warinus de Insula's and the Rent which Iohn de Insula had there being forfeited for Rebellion but upon the said Iohns making Fine to the King he had order to deliver it back the same year viz. 16 E. 2. so that I suppose neither he nor his posterity was much the richer for it His interest here which he had by the division of this Mannor went with Scarrington in which share happened to be some of the Lands of Deincourts Fee also which descending to Cheyney as in Scarrington may be observed came amongst others to William Vaux Lord Harowdon before named who 20 Ian. 8 Eliz. sold it being three Closes and twelve Oxgangs of Land to William Alvey for 161l. 13s. 4d. who settled it on Robert Alvey his younger brother whose son Robert Alvey sold two Medow Closes of which his said Father had good share at the inclosure of this Lordship whereof he is said to have been a principal promoter to Robert Earl of Kingston which are now the Marquess of Dorchesters And his son the third Robert Alvey sold about half the remaining part to Henry Sherwin of Nott. and not many years after viz. about 1669. the rest to Isaac Hodgekin of London Vintner Ranulf Morin who married Isabella de Lovetot the second

of the Illustrious owners of that place notwithstanding what will be done by my excellent friend Mr. Dugdale in his great work of the Baronage of England or in a particular one which was almost ready for the Press at the death of the last and most Noble Frances Countess of Rutland May 19. 1671. but for want of such a Mother and Nurse is like enough to be abortive and make no further appearance I shall begin therefore with the great Norman Robert de Toâ—neâ—o esteemed the builder who Founded a Priory near his Castle of Belvidere and made it a Cell of St. Albans To the endowment of Tythes and Lands which he made to it his son Berengerius was a Witness which Berengerius de Todeni the Book of Doomsday shows to have been Lord of divers Mannors in this County of Nott. But it seems his Father out-lived him because after having buried his wife Alice he the said Robert for her soul by the conâ—ent of his sons William and Geoffrey gave a Carucat of Land in Sapertun to the Church of St. Mary at Belvoyr and that William was his son and heir of his honour who I think was called William de Albini Brito from his being born in England notwithstanding in the Charter of Confirmation made by Thomas Lord Ros there seems to be two persons however he was a great Baron in the time of King Henry the first and witness to many of his Charters particularly in the year of our Lord 1133. 33 H. 1. as in several places of the Monasticâ—â— Angl. may be observed He seems to be the son of Matild de St. Liz sister of Walter son of Robert son of Richard Earl of Clare son of Gilbert but the time will scarcely bear it therefore we may rather suppose she was his wife and Mother of William de Albini his son whom I have sometimes seen called also Briâ—â— as his Father was yet it appears William de Albini Brito if that be not this second William too had another wife called Cecilia who together with himself and his son and heir William were benefactors to Thorney Abby and to his gift were Witnesses Roger and Robert his sons and his three Nephews 〈◊〉 son of his brother Galfr. â—wan and Gaâ—fr de Caâ—iâ—in one of his Deeds is to Alexander Bishop of Linc. in the time of H. 1. When the first William died I find not but I suppose both him and his son William dead 14 H. 2. for in the Pipe Roâ—â—s of that year I find though he be there named for paying the Scuâ—age for the Aid for marrying Maâ—d the Kings daughter for thirty three Knights Fees and for four more of new yet William Basset the then Sheriff of Warewiâ—h and Legrecester-shires accounted for 26l. 16s. 11d. of the issues of the honour of Belvier and for providing for the Children of William de Albineio thirty nine weeks and one month 15. and 21d. by the Kings Writ it may indeed be otherwise but I find no more of him afterwards William de Albeni the second was called sometimes Meschines and had two Wives Adeliza his first and Cecilia his second by whom he had his son and heir William de Albeni the third who was abroad with King Richard the first in his Army in Normâ—â—dy and therefore had a Quittance for his Scurage 6 R. 1. in the Counties of Bucks and Bedford It appears 10 R. 1. and 1 Ioh. that he gave DC Marks to have Agatha Trussebâ—t with her inheritance she was his second wife but I do not find he had issue by her By the consent of William de Albini the fourth his son and heir he Founded an Hospital at the Bridge of Wass between Offâ—ngton and Stanford for the health of his own soul and hers the said Agatha and for Margarets his former wife his sons William de Albini and Odinellus Nicolas and Robert de Albini were Witnesses William de Albini the fourth for the health of the soul of the Noble Lord William de Albini his Father and the soul of Margery de Vmfravile his Mother and the souls of his own wives Albreda Biset and Isabel confirmed to this Church of St. Mary of Newstead by Uffington Bridge what his Father had given Isabella this last Williams only daughter and heir who was the wife of Robert de Ros is said to be buried in this Newstead in the year 1301. The first Ancestor of this Robert that I know of was Peter de Ros who married Adelina the youngest as William de Bussey did Hawisia the eldest and Nicholas de Traisâ—y Albreda the second of the three sisters and heirs of that great and Potent Bâ—ron Walter de Espec who having an only son by his wife Adelina called also Walter Robertus de Belvedeir sive de Totencio Adelaâ—â— 2 Will. de Albini Brito 33 H. 1 -Matild de St. Liz Willielmus de Albeni Brito -Adeliza-Cecil Willielmus de Albeni -Margeria de Umfravile -Agatha Trusbut Pip. 10 R. 1.
