Bound up in the York volume of the Royal Archæological Institute.] [Footnote 14: Stapleton indeed exposed himself unconsciously by stating on the very same page that William Meschin's lands had passed to his heirs 'prior to 1138', so that he could not be the Earl of 1139.] [Footnote 15: See on this point the important letters of Mr Greenstreet and Mr J. A. C. Vincent to the _Athenæum_, May 9 and June 27, 1885.] [Footnote 16: _Geoffrey de Mandeville_, p. 420 _et seq._] [Footnote 17: Ed.

Palmer, in his admirable little treatise on the Marmion family (1875), duly inserts this intermediate Robert. Mr Palmer has shown himself by far the best authority on the subject, and has printed a valuable charter of Stephen to Robert Marmion.] [Footnote 30: Paper on 'Holy Trinity Priory, York', p. 208 note. This identification is accepted by no less an authority than Mr A. S. Ellis (_Domesday Tenants of Gloucestershire_, p. 69).] [Footnote 31: i.e. according to Stapleton's pedigree.] [Footnote 32; And Mr Palmer independently had done the same in his _History of the Marmions_ (1865).] [Footnote 33: Lodge's _Scrivelsby: the Home of the Champions_.] [Footnote 34: See p. 174.] [Footnote 35: See p. 174.]
