[Footnote 226: It enables us to correct such an entry in the Black Book as 'Radulfus Maindeherst', by identifying him with Ralph Mowyn, the tenant at Hurst. It supplies an entry as to Henry de 'Wichetone' (Whiston) which is omitted in _L.R._, and entered in _L.N._, with wrong name and wrong holding; and, better still, it shows that Silvester of Holwell held only 2 hides, not 12, as given in error, both in _L.N._, and _L.R._ The existence of this error in both bears, of course, on their relation (cf. p. 287, _supra_).] [Footnote 227: _Const. Hist._, i. 357. Gneist writes that Matthew's statement 'is for good reasons called in question by Stubbs' (_C.H._, i. 255, note).] [Footnote 228: _Cartulary of Abingdon_, ii. 3.] [Footnote 229: _Historia Eliensis_ (ed. 1848), p. 276.] [Footnote 230: _Ibid._, p. 274.] [Footnote 231: 'Praecepit illi (_i.e._ abbati) ex nutu regis custodiam xl. militum habere in insulam.' _Ibid._, p. 275. This is the very _servitium debitum_ that appears under Henry II.] [Footnote 232: Compare for the initiative of the crown, the Domesday phrase, 'miles jussu regis', and the statement that Lanfranc replaced the drengs of his See by knights at the royal command ('Rex praecepit.')] [Footnote 233: Madox writes (_Baronia Anglica_, p. 114) bitterly and unjustly: 'In process of time, several of the religious found out another piece of art. They insisted that they held all their land and tenements in frankalmoigne, and not by knight-service.' In the cases he quotes, 'this allegation' was perfectly correct, and was recognized as such by the judges.] [Footnote 234: Turoldus vero sexaginta et duo hidas terrae de terra ecclesiae Burgi dedit stipendiariis militibus' (_John of Peterborough_, ed. Giles).] [Footnote 235: _Cart. Abingdon_, ii. 3.] [Footnote 236: _Liber Eliensis_, p. 275.] [Footnote 237: 'De militibus Archiepiscopis.' 8th Report on Historical MSS., i. 316.] [Footnote 238: _Ibid._]
