EARL OK CARLISLEC 1 ) "to him and the heir's of his bod >/," with a giant of hinds to the value (») " The old belief was that the Conqueror conferred the Earldom of Cumberland, or Carlisle, on Randulf le Mesehin in 1072. This was corrected in the Introduction to the Pipe Rolls for Cumberland, &c. (1 R47) and in Mr. Hinde's paper on the subject (Arch. Journal xvi, pp. 217, &c.) Mr. Freeman in his Norman Conquest asserts that ' Cumberland now [1092] became an Earldom.' But in his William Rufus (Appendix ou ' Earldom of Carlisle') corrects himself and refers to Mr. Hinde as proving that the Earldom was not of Cumberland but of Carlisle, and was not founded by William Rufus, but by Henry I, Even this, however, is wrong, for, as Mr. Eyton rightly observes (Add'it. MSS. 31,930, fo. 171) Randulf was never ' Earl,' but merely ' Lord' of the district.*' Ex inform. J. Horace Round. () The Castle of Harcla is in Westmorland. (<•) Among those sum. to the Pari, of IS May (1321) 14 Ed. II, occurs " Magro Michi de Harcla." (< l ) According to Dugdale, in his argument "thatit seemeth not necessary that the title of an Earl should be accompanied with the title of Barony," neither Harcla, ci: Earl of Carlisle, nor (iaveston, or. Earl of Cornwall ; Clinton, rr. Earl of Huntingdon, &c, had any Barony at all." See Collins' " Precedents," p. 231. In many cases ?io Baronies appear to have been vested in the early grantees of Earldoms and Dukedoms, e.g. Corn- wall, 1308 ; Carlisle, 1 322 ; Cambridge, 134 0 ; Kent, 1360, &c, besides in numerous instances of the Royal family and those connected with them, as Beuufort, cr. Earl of. Somerset (1397); Fitzroy, cr. Uuk« of Richmond, (1525), &c.
