A HISTORY OF LEICESTERSHIRE In THORP [Thorpe Satchville] and in TWYFORD Richard de Roll(os) 9 carucates less i bovate. In the same place Henry de Ferrers 9 carucates less I bovate. 33 Also 5 carucates of the king's sokeland. 33 Of these Grimbald holds half a carucate and King David I carucate. In NORTON [East Norton] (there are) 10 bovates. 34 Walter de Beauchamp 6 carucates. 3 ' Also Roger de Mowbray 4 carucates and 3 vir- gates, HUNDRED OF BEEBY In the same vill the abbot of Crowland 12 carucates. M HUNDRED OF TILTON In the same vill 2 carucates less I bovate of the king's sokeland. 37 In the same place Walter de Beauchamp 3 carucates. 58 The archbishop (of York) i carucate. 39 In NEUTON [Cold Newton] Walter de Beau- champ 4 carucates. 40 Roger de Mowbray 8 carucates. 41 In LOUSEBIA [Lowesby] King David 12 carucates. 42 In WATEBERGIA [Whatborough] 4 carucates (belonging to) the king's demesne (Dominicum Regis)" In HALLESTED [Halstead] Norman de Verdon 3 carucates less i virgate. 44 a These entries present great difficulty. Thorpe Satchville is not mentioned by name in Domesday, and in view of the tendency for the assessments of 1086 to be lower than those recorded in the present document, it is not easy to believe that the iyf carucates above are distributed in Domesday among other manors in the neighbourhood. It seems more probable that the Domesday scribes have inadvertently omitted the statistics relating to Thorpe Satchville, as they have almost certainly done in the case of Eaton below. 33 4 carucates are assigned by Domesday to Twy- ford as belonging to Rothley soke. 31 It has not been possible to identify these 10 bovates in Domesday. 3i Domesday gives 4^ carucates here to Robert Dispensator. 36 Including the 4^ carucates held in this vill by Geoffrey de Wirce in 1086. i7 Domesday assigns 2 carucates to the king in Tilton. 34 Held by Robert Dispensator in 1086. 39 As in Domesday. 10 This may possibly include the half carucate which Herbert 'serviens' held here in 1086. 41 Domesday assigns 6 carucates in Cold Newton to Geoffrey de Wirce. 43 Including the 9 carucates held by the Countess Judith in 1086. 13 The king possessed a manor of 3 carucates in Whatborough in 1086. The distinction between
- demesne ' here and ' sokeland ' elsewhere should be
noted. 44 Entered in Domesday as part of Rothley soke. 346 In CAHIHAM [Keyham] 4 carucates of the king's sokeland. 46 The earl of Leicester 2 carucates. 47 In HUNGERTON 9 carucates. 48 In SIGLEBIA [Sileby] 9 carucates, 6 bovates belonging to (de) the earl of Leicester. 49 In the same place the earl of Chester 3 carucates. 50 In the same place Richard Basset 2 carucates." Robert de Ferrers 5 bovates. 62 HUNDRED OF BARKBY In the same vill 5 carucates of the fee of Belvoir. 53 In HAMELTON [Hamilton] and in THORP [Barkby Thorpe] 6 carucates of the same fee S4 and i carucates of the fee of the earl of Leicester. 65 In THORMEDESTON [Thurmaston] the canons (of St. Mary de Castro, Leicester) 3 carucates. 56 45 Domesday assigns lo carucates here to Crow- land Abbey. 4 " As in Domesday. 47 It is impossible to identify these two carucates in the Domesday fief of Hugh de Grentemaisnil. 48 In Domesday Robert de Todeni is assigned 6 carucates in Hungerton as appurtenant to his manor of Barkby. 49 Including the 8J carucates held by Hugh de GrentemaisniL in 1086. 60 Domesday assigns one carucate here to the earl of Chester as part of the soke of Barrow. 61 Clearly representing part of the zj carucates which Domesday enters as belonging to Rothley soke. " It is probable that these 5 bovates include the 2 bovates out of the 2j carucates mentioned in the previous note, which had not been granted to Richard Basset. 53 See next note. M Domesday assigns 1 8 carucates to Robert de Todeni in Barkby, but goes on to state that 6 of these carucates were situated in Hungerton. They would therefore be accounted for above, under Beeby Hundred. On the other hand, neither Hamilton nor Barkby Thorpe appears in connexion with Robert de Todeni's fief in Domesday, and it is probable that the 6 carucates assigned here to these places were included in the 1 8 carucates at which Barkby was assessed in 1086. The whole of the latter sum will thus be accounted for with the exception of one carucate. M This apparently represents the ij carucates which Domesday assigns to the wife of Hugh de Grentemaisnil as in Barkby. 56 Probably these 3 carucates represent the 3$- carucates which in 1086 were held by ' William ' of Hugh de Grentemaisnil. The canons of St. Mary de Castro received the land in question from Robert,
