of Vassy held by the service of 2 knights (H. de F., 619a). He had succeeded to his lands in 1198 (Rot. Scacc., ii, 471, see also H. de F., 695c, 707c).

See Fontenai.

VIEUXPONT. On the roll of 1172 two families of Vieuxpont are mentioned.

1. William of Vieuxpont is stated to owe the service of 2 knights and to have 11 in his service (R.B., ii, 631). Register A adds the words "in ballia Sagieusi " (H. de F., 695h), and this fief would therefore seem to be identical with that mentioned in the Feoda Normanniae and the register of 1220 as in the bailiwick of Exmes (Ibid, 706e, 636e). There is a Vieuxpont south of Ecouché near Argentan. Now fees of William of Vieuxpont are mentioned at Ecouché (C.N., no. 283) and at Nonant, in the same district, south of Exmes (H. de F., 636e). This William, who was alive in 1224 (C.N., no. 326, in connection with an inquiry concerning Domfront), was probably the grandson of the William of Vieuxpont who was alive in 1172; in 1198, the land of Robert of Vieuxpont at Chaioullé, north of Séez, was in the king's hand (Rot. Scacc., ii, 389), and it is reasonable to suppose that this land belonged to the same fief and that the lord was recently deceased.

2. The relationship, if any, between William of Vieuxpont and Fulk of Vieuxpont is obscure. In 1172 Fulk owed the service of 2 knights and had that of 101 (R.B., ii, 629). He was alive in 1198 (Rot. Scacc., ii, 402, 407). In John's reign the lord of Vieuxpont (Vieuxpont-en-Auge, Calvados, arr. Lisieux) was Robert of Vieuxpont, who was lord of Courville in France (Eure-et-Loir). In 1202, after the outbreak of war between Philip and John, he went into France, and his lands at Vieuxpont were granted to his brother William and afterwards to his nephew Robert (R.N., 49, 55, 91). This Robert last-mentioned was very active in John's service during 1203; he was bailiff in the Roumois, with charge of the king's interest at Rouen, and also in Caen. After the separation he was equally active, as lord of Westmoreland, in England. His father, William, apparently died between the 13th July 1202, when Vieuxpont was granted to him (R.N., 55) and the 6th May 1203, when it was granted to Robert (Ibid, 91). William's eldest son, Ivo, succeeded to his English lands, Hurdinstone in

Northamptonshire, and Alston in Tyndale (Stapleton II, cclxv-vii). But in the civil war Ivo took sides against the king, and Robert was, as John's adherent, granted Hurdinstone in 1217 (cf. Farrer, Lancashire Pipe Rolls, p. 258).

In the meantime Vieuxpont was held by the widow of Robert the elder. She brought up the heir in France (H. de F., 619j; cf. the reference, 6841). See Stapleton II, cclxvi.

1. For a time, unless the addition in Register A is misleading, William of Vieuxpont had the honour after 1204 (H. de F., p. 695b). This could not be the English baron, the brother of Robert, who was dead; he was perhaps the baron mentioned in the early part of this discussion, who lived in the bailiwick of Séez.
