55 A mural inscription in the church at Hampsthwaite claims that William Simpson, of Gilthorne and Felliscliffe, who died in 1776, "was the 26th in direct descent from Archil, a Saxon thane, who, in the reign of Edward the Confessor," possessed "Wipeley,""which he held as a King's thane." He had previously "resided in York." This tablet was erected by the late Dr. Simpson, of Knaresbrough.

55 Whipley was owned partly by Gospatric, partly by Archil, T. R. E. But the Recapitulation shows that at the survey Erneis de Burun had a manor of half a carucate and the king one of a carucate and a half. Of this carucate and a half, the King (ante, xiii., 334) still retained a carucate, the half carucate being still tenanted by this former owner

61 Third son of Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury, by Mabel, heiress of Alençon. His sister, Matilda, was the wife of Robert, Count of Mortain, the tenant in capite (see vol. xiii., page 507). He acquired the name of "the Poitevin " by his marriage with Almodis, only aughter of Adelbert III., Count of La Marche (a province separating Poictou and Berri), and sole heiress of her brother, Count Boson III., who was killed in

1091, when he became Roger, Count of La Marche, in right of his wife.

In the early days of the Conquest, Roger the Poictevin had possessed alt the land between the Ribble and the Mersey, and extensive estates in various other counties in England had been granted to him; but, at the date of the Survey, he only retained those in Essex, Lincolnshire and Suffolk. Clitheroe, in Lancashire, appears to have been the caput of his honour, and here a castle was built before the date of the Survey Amounderness (containing more than 60 vills), of which Preston was the capital, had belonged to him (see vol. xiii., page 351).

In 1094, as "Rogerus comes Pictavensis," he gave for his own soul, and the souls of Roger of Shrewsbury, his father, Countess Mabel, his mother, and his brethren, to St. Martin's abbey at Sees, in Normandy, the church of St. Mary, at Lancaster; with lands, &c. To the

abbey of St. Peter, at Shrewsbury, founded by his father, he gave other lands in Lancashire.

In 1101, he joined in the rebellion of his eldest brother, Robert de Belesme, Count of Alençon, and thus forfeited all his honours and estates. Being banished from England, he retired to his castle of Charroux, near Civray, which he possessed in right of his wife, Almodis. She died in 1116. By her, Roger (who was living in 1123) had three sons:Count Aldebert IV., Eudo and Count Boson IV., and three daughters, Ponce, wife of "Taillefer" II., Count of Angoulesme, Marquise, wife of Guy IV.,

Viscount of Limoges, and Sybil, who witnessed her father's charter to St. Martin's abbey. Adeline of Lancaster, wife of William Peveril of Nottingham, may, Mr. Planché suggests, have been another daughter of Roger.

With a few exceptions, the estates of Roger the Poictevin in England were given by Henry I. to Count Stephen, his nephew, who, when King, granted nearly the whole of them to Rannulph, Farl of Chester. Robert de Rumeli and Alan de Perci appear to have acquired the lands of his fief in Craven.

By another wife, the heiress of Annandale, in Scotland, it is said, he was father of Robert, ancestor of Robert "the Bruce, of Bannockburn," King of Scotland.
