71 A farm in the parish of Ripley, detached.

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.

In

These had soke and sac and tol and thaim and all customs in the time of King Edward :--Earl Harold, Merlesuen, Ulffenisc, Turgod-lag [man], Tochi, son of Otta, Eduin and Morcar upon the land of Ingold. only, Gamel, son of Osbert, upon Cotingeha' (Cottingham) only, Copsi upon Cucualt (Coxwold) only, and Cnut. Of these, he who committed trespass [that is, incurred forfeiture] made amends to no one, except to the King and the Earl.

In the demesne manors the Earl had nothing at all, nor the King in the manors of the Earl, except what pertains to the spiritual jurisdiction, which belongs to the Archbishop."

53

In all the land of St. Peter of York, and St. John, and St. Wilfrid, and St. Cuthbert, and of the Holy Trinity, in like manner, neither the King, nor the Earl, nor anyone else, had any custom there.

The King has three ways by laud and a fourth by water. In these, every forfeiture is the King's and the Earl's wherever the ways lead, whether through the King's land, or the Archbishop's, or the Earl's.

34

If the King's peace, given under his hand or seal, should be broken, amend to the King only is to be made by twelve hundreds ; each hundred eight pounds.

Peace given by the Earl, and broken by any one, amend to be made to the Earl himself by six hundreds, each hundred eight pounds.

If anyone should be outlawed according to law, no one, except the King, shall give him peace. But if the Earl or the Sheriff shall have sent anyone out of the district, they themselves may recall him, and give him peace; if they will.

Those thanes who shall have had more than six manors, give relief of lands to the King only. The relief is eight pounds.

But if he shall have had only six manors, or less, he gives to the sheriff, for relief, three marks of silver.

But the burgesses of the city of York do not give relief.
