54 Distributed in the Recapitulation as follows:- under "Scard hundret," Lanton, 18 car., Cheretorp, 2 car. 5 bov., Bredale, 6 car.; under "Hacle hundret," -Redrestorp, 1 car.; and under "Toreshou hundret," Schiresburn, 9 car., Eslerton, 3 car.; the sum total exceeding by 5 bovates the quantity given in the text, the difference being, apparently, in "Cheretorp."

The churches were probably at Langton and Sherburn. That at the firstnamed place was given to the canons of Malton by Burga, wife of William de Vesci, who had with her "in maritagio

villam de Langetone." William and Burga were buried "ante ostium capituli domus de Alnwyke." Isabella (de Beaumont), widow of their great-grandson John de Vesci, held ten carucates in Langton, of the fee of Wake, in 1302-3.

26 Of which 3 car. were in Norton and 1 car. 3 bov. in Welham.

57 The name of the patron saint of this church, which is at Norton, is, I believe, not known.

the lords Byron, one of whom has given the name a wide and lasting renown. They probably came from Burun Baron, a parish in the canton of Evrecy, near Caen. Erneis de Burun was sheriff of Yorkshire circa 1084-5. He appears to have had a son, Hugh, who was subject to epilepsy; but it is not known whether he left any descendants (Yorks. Arch. and Top. Journ., iv., 240).

72 In the Recapitulation, only half a carucate is assigned to Erneis, which, added to the three carucates and two bovates held by Gospatric (see his land, postea), agrees with the text.

74 The six carucates were equally divided.

7 In the 31st Edward I., there appears to have been only one "Brame," which

contained one carucate. Braham Hall,
in the township of Plumpton, was for
several generations the residence of the
family of Paver, of whom some particu-
lars are given in the History of the Fore

rightly placed in Skyrack. This allocation of the group to Craven was a mistake of the Domesday scribe. The form "Heldeton" existed (as Hatheltona, Hadeltona and Haddeltona) at least until the Dissolution (Rievaux Chartulary, ed. Surt. Soc., 283, 284). But I do not think it is known locally, which is to be regretted, for it is an interesting reminiscence of St. Hilda.-R. H.

77 Orig., fo. 329a, col. 1.-Facsimile Edit., page lxiii.

78 He is supposed to have been a younger son of Godfrid, viscount of Arques, near Dieppe (by the daughter and heiress of Gozelin, the previous viscount), and grandson of Osbern de Bolbec, husband of Aveline, one of the sisters of the Duchess Gunnora.

Before 1088, he gave lands in Appleton (Roebuck), Hessay and Poppleton, with two houses in St. Saviourgate (perhaps those which had belonged to Brun the priest, see vol. xiii., page 324), to St. Mary's abbey, York. He was sheriff of Yorkshire temm. Henry I. The date of his death is not known. His heir was his son William, who, with Ivetta, his wife, founded a priory at (Nun) \Monkton in

the reign of Stephen. He died without
male issue. His daughters and co-heir-
esses were (1) Ivetta, married, 1st, Roger
de Flamville, 2ndly, Adam de Brus, of
Skelton, who had with her the manor of
Thorp Arch. She died in 1152, and was
buried at Gisburn. (2) Matilda, another
daughter of William de Arches, became
prioress of Nun Monkton; (3) Agnes,
married Robert, son of Fulk, son of
Reinfrid, by whom she had a daughter,
Adeliza, the wife of Herbert de St. Quin-
tin, and foundress of the priory of Nun
Appleton. The above-named Reinfrid
served under William de Perci at the
siege of York in 1069, and afterwards
became a Benedictine monk, and prior of
Whitby. Fulk was sewer to Alan de
Perci, and the tenant of Osbern de Arches
at Catterton, and elsewhere. He may
also have been the same person as Ful-
cher, the tenant of William de Perci at
"Inguluestuet" and Pallethorpe. Sce
