[Footnote 9: With its hamlet of Manthorpe and Toft with
Lound.]
[Footnote 10: Ed. Sparke _Historiæ Anglicanæ Scriptores_
[1723].]
[Footnote 11: Professor Tout throws out the unlucky
suggestion: 'the _Wake_, i.e. apparently the watchful one'.]
[Footnote 12: See the new _Monasticon_ on Deeping Priory, and
the rubric to Baldwin's charter. The true parentage of Baldwin
fitz Gilbert will be shown _infra_ in the paper on 'Walter
Tirel and his wife'.]
[Footnote 13: _Norman Conquest_ (1st Ed.), iv. 455-6.]
[Footnote 14: _Norman Conquest_ (1st Ed.), iv. 484. Professor
Tout, however, follows Mr Freeman, and accepts an earlier
'flight from England' as a fact. One must therefore insist
that 'the whole story has no historical basis'.]
[Footnote 15: I am tempted, indeed, to suggest that Hugh may
have had before him that lost local 'account of Hereward's
doings', which was inserted (but, according to my own view, in
an abbreviated form) into the earlier chronicle, according
to Professor Earle (see _Norm. Conq._, iv. 461, note 3). This
solution would explain everything, and would, if accepted,
greatly increase the importance of Hugh's chronicle.]
[Footnote 16: Cf. William of Malmesbury _in loco_.]
[Footnote 17: _Dictionary of National Biography_.]
[Footnote 18: Appendix on 'the Legend of Hereward', _ut
supra_.]
[Footnote 19: The names of the churches he bestowed on the
Priory illustrate the constituents of the Honour of Bourne.]
[Footnote 20: The name of Ralf de Nevilla occurs in full in
the Lincolnshire 'Clamores' (i. 376_b_), annihilating the
old assertion that this famous surname is nowhere found in
Domesday. (See my letter in _Academy_, xxxvii. 373.)]
[Footnote 21: It is specially interesting to trace his holding
at Winwick, Hunts, which then lay partly in Northants. As
'Eustachius' he held _in capite_ at 'Winewincle' (i. 228),
as 'Eustachius Vicecomes' at 'Winewiche' (i. 206), and as
'Eustacius', a tenant of the Abbot, at 'Winewiche' (i.
221). In the first two cases his under-tenants are given as
'Widelard[us]' and 'Oilard[us]', doubtless the same man. For
'Winewincle' we should probably read 'Winewicke'. See also p.
222, _infra_.]
