[fn 2] The suggestion that the name of Glanville is identical with those of Grandville, Granville, Morville, Stuteville, etc., I cordially agree with, and since this Introduction was in print I have discovered most important evidence in absolute confirmation of it. In Reg. Princip' Episcopi Norwic., xii., 267, there is the following entry:- "Petitionern Willi' de Bodeville Domino suo Galfrido de Glanville ut confirmavit canonicis St. Petri Gipwic donationem suam ecclesia St. Maria de Crew decinam de Letheringham et Thorpe, " etc. At the time of Domesday (20 Wm. I.) Letheringham was hold by Galfred de Magnaville, who was probably the co-founder with Wm. de Glanville of Bromholm when he is called G. de Glanville. The Bodevilles were tenants under the Glanvilles at a very early date. -- W.G-.R.

[fn 3] This has been entirely disproved. -- W.G-.R.

[fn 4] Walter is by no means an uncommon name in the Glanville family. -- W.G.-R.

[fn 5] Alice de Glanville might have married twice. -- W.G.-R.

[fn 6] The writer has quite mistaken what Lord Hervey has written. His suggestion, or guess, is that Herveas Bituricensis of Domesday was Hervey, Lord of St. Aignan in Berri, who afterwards succeeded, his elder brother Geoffrey as Baron de Donzi, and was grandfather of Hervey of Gien (or Yuon), also Baron of Donzi and Count of Gien in the Orleanois; and he has suggested further the possibility that Hervens Bituricensis may have been the same person as Herveus the father of Hervey Walter. Hervey of Leon was a totally different person, a Breton, in the reign of Stephen, the ancestor of the Vicomptes de Lehon and of the Ducs de Rohun (pp. 45, 46).

[fn 7] Mr. Pym Yeatman is referred to page 11 of Lord A. C. Hervey's Work. -- W.G.-R.

(Foxe.)

[fn 10] The measurements at this period are not the same as in the present day. A "lenca," or mile, far exceeded our standard English mile of 1760 yards. And an "acre" is a difficult thing to explain.

[fn 11] A view of ruins of Bromholm was published in 1738 by S. and N. Buck.

[fn 12] Vincent names Hervey William and Roger also as his sons, but I cannot find on what authority; and he entirely leaves out Bartholomew, who we know for a certainty was his son.

[fn 21] A Knight's Fee, says Jacob, "is so much inheritance as is sufficient to maintain a Knight with convenient revenue, which in Henry III. day was [pounds sterling]15." Sir Thomas Smith rates it at [pounds sterling]40, and by the statute for Knights (1 Edward I., II., Cap. 1), such as had [pounds sterling]20 per annum in fee or for life might be compelled to be Knights, which statute waa repealed by 17 Charles I. The number of Knights' Fees throughout the kingdom was 60,215. Coke says, "A Knight's Fee contains twelve plowlands or 680 acres, and a virgate contains twenty-four acres, a hide four virgates, and that five hides made a Knight's Fee."

[fn 38] The Manor of Leiston contains about 5000 acres of land.

[fn 39] The Glanvilles erected, and endowed seven monasteries, or religious houses, in various parts of the kingdom, viz.:- Bromholm Priory, Butley Priory, Leiston Abbey, Bungay Priory, Somerton Hospital, Coverham Priory, Stroud Priory, and Wooton-Glanville Chapel, besides various benefactions to different religious institutions.

[fn 40] "The Chief Justiciary was the greatest subject in England. Besides presiding in the King's Court, and in the Exchequer, he was originally, by virtue of his office, the Regent of the kingdom during the absence of the Sovereign, which, till the loss of Normandy, occurred very frequently. Writs, at such times, ran in his name, and were tested by him. His appointment upon these temporary occasions waa expressed, "Ad custodiendum loco nostro terram nostram Angliae et pacem regni nostri." And all persons were enjoined to obey him "tanquam justitiario nostro." Sometimes, however, the King issued his own writ de ultra mare. The first time when the dignity of this office was impaired was at the death of John, when the Justiciary Hubert de Burgh, being besieged in Dover Castle, those who proclaimed Henry III. at Gloucester, constituted the Earl of Pembroke governor of the King and kingdom, Hubert still retaining his office." - Hallam's "Middle Ages."

[fn 41] Davy's "Suff. Collection" says that Theobald de Valoins, founder of Campney Priory, married Avica de Glanville, and had a son William de Valoins, but there is no authority for such an assertion, so far as I have been able to find out.
