At the close of the survey I have here discussed there is a list
of the knights of Peterborough (fos. 99_b_, 100) holding in
Northamptonshire. It ought to be carefully compared with the one
I have examined above (p. 131), being, it seems probable, about a
generation later. Such entries as these, at least, are conclusive for
the holding to which they refer:
Paganus de Helpestun terciam Roger fil[ius] Pagan[i] in
partem unius militis Helpestun terciam partem i.
(_Chronicon Petroburgense_, militis (Vesp. E. xxii.,
p. 171). fo. 100).
In the same way, Roger Marmion had been succeeded by Robert. This
second list is of special value from the fact that the Peterborough
_carta_ of 1166 gives no particulars of the knights or of their fees.

[Footnote 4: St. Evroul, Grantmesnil's in Domesday.]
[Footnote 5: St Andrew's Priory, Northampton.]
[Footnote 6: The heir of Guy de Raimbercurt.]
[Footnote 7: Clearly Fulk Paynel the first, Founder of Tykford
Priory.]
[Footnote 8: _Geoffrey de Mandeville_, p. 81.]
[Footnote 9: See also as to Twywell itself. _Mon. Ang._, ii.
603:
'Ego Albericus, regis camerarius terram de Twiwell quamdiu vixero
de domino abbate Guntero et monachis de Thorneya per talem
conventionem teneo adfirmam.'
'Ego Robertus filius Albrici camerarii regis terram de Twiwelle
quamdiu vixero de domino abbate Roberto et monachis de Thorneia
per eandem conventionem in feodi firmam teneo per quam
conventionem pater meus ante me tenuit.'
The Great Chamberlain occurs again on fo. 97_b_, where we
read:
'In alia Adington Albric[us] Camerar[ius], ii. hid. de feodo
Regis.']
[Footnote 10: If, as probable, the son of the Domesday Baron.]
[Footnote 11: _Chronicon Petroburgense_, pp. 168-9.]
[Footnote 12: _Holy Trinity Priory, York_, p. 35.]
[Footnote 13: Since this was written I have come across
a curious confirmation of the hypothesis advanced. In the
Lindsey Survey (Ed. Greenstreet), an entry on fo. 20, in the
original ran: 'Comes Odo [tenet] in Aldobi', above which a
later hand has interlined, 'De feodo Comitis Albemerle'. It
is curious that in the same survey another later
interlineation--'Comes Lincoln'--was, though distinguished by
Hearne, incorporated with the text by Mr Waters (see p. 151).]
[Footnote 14: Eudo was identified with Colchester.]
[Footnote 15: Giving a total of 2-5/8, instead of 2-1/2--a
trivial discrepancy.]
