72 Several persons of this name are mentioned in the Survey, and it is not easy to identify them. Ligulf of Fornethorpe (Thornthorpe, near Malton) was a benefactor to St. Mary's Abbey. Possibly he was the son of Forne, who had a house in York (afterwards given to Odo Balistarius), and considerable property in the East Riding; his chief lordship being Skirpenbeck.

73 A certain Yorkshire thane, Kilvert, son of Ligulf, married Ecgfrida, daughter

of Aldun, Bishop of Durham, by whom he had a daughter Sigrida, who became the wife of Archil, and was mother of Gospatric. Perhaps this Chilvert, who had land in Boulby, was his son by another wife (Yorks. Arch. and Top. Journal, iv. 392). See note 72, supra.

74 A name of frequent occurrence in the Survey. Perhaps the person mentioned here may be the same as Turchil, the King's thane, who held land at "Badetorpes," near York, the site of which was, probably, afterwards occupied by Middlethorpe and Bustardthorpe.
