[147] Robert de Neufbourg, said to have been a younger son of Henry, Earl of Warwick, occurs in connection with Warwickshire in 1130 (_Rot. Pip._, 31 Hen. I.). Mr. Yeatman characteristically advances "the idea that Robert de Arundel and Robert de Novoburgo were identical." He was afterwards Justiciary of Normandy (_Ord. Vit._), having sided with Geoffrey of Anjou (_Rot. Scacc. Norm._). He is mentioned in the Pipe-Rolls of 2 and 4 Henry II. According to Dugdale, he died (on the authority of the _Chronicon Normanniæ_), in August, 1158, a date followed by Mr. Yeatman. Mr. Eyton, however (_Court and Itinerary_, p. 47), on the same authority (with a reference also to Gervase, which I cannot verify) makes him die in August, 1159. The true date seems to have been August 30, 1159, when he died at Bec (_Robert de Torigni_). [148] The Maenfininus Brito (Mr. Birch reads "Mamseu"), who, in the Pipe-Roll of 1130 (p. 100), was late sheriff of Bucks. and Beds. Probably father of Hamo filius Meinfelini, the Bucks. baron of 1166 (_Cartæ_). See also p. 201, _n._ 2. [149] Turgis d'Avranches appears in the Pipe-Roll of 31 Hen. I. as having married the widow of Hugh "de Albertivillâ." We shall find him witnessing Stephen's second charter to the earl (Christmas, 1141). [150] William de St. Clare occurs in Dorset and Huntingdonshire in 1130 (_Rot. Pip._, 31 Hen. I.). He was, I presume, of the same family as Hamon de St. Clare, _custos_ of Colchester in 1130 (_ibid._), who was among the witnesses to Stephen's Charter of Liberties (Oxford) in 1136. [151] Odo de Dammartin states in his _Carta_ (1166) that he held one fee (in Norfolk) of the king, of which he had enfeoffed, _temp._ Hen. I., his brother, William de Dammartin. [152] Richard fitz Urse is of special interest as the father (see _Liber Niger_) of Reginald fitz Urse, one of Becket's murderers. He occurs repeatedly in the Pipe-Roll of 31 Hen. I. After this charter he reappears at the battle of Lincoln (Feb. 2, 1141):—"Capitur etiam Ricardus filius Ursi, qui in ictibus dandis recipiendisque clarus et gloriosus comparuit" (_Hen. Hunt._, p. 274). For his marriage to Sybil, daughter of Baldwin de Bollers by Sybil de Falaise (_neptis_ of Henry I.), see Eyton's _Shropshire_, xi. 127, and _Genealogist_, N.S., iii. 195. One would welcome information on his connection, if any, with the terrible sheriff, Urse d'Abetot, and his impetuous son; but I know of none. [153] William de Eu appears as a tenant of four knights' fees _de veteri feoffamento_ under Mandeville in the _Liber Niger_. [154] Richard fitz Osbert similarly figures (_Liber Niger_) as a tenant of four knights' fees _de veteri feoffamento_. He also held a knight's fee of the Bishop of Ely in Cambridgeshire. An Osbert fitz Richard, probably his son, attests a charter of Geoffrey's son, Earl William, to Walden Abbey. [155] A Ralph de _Worcester_ occurs in the _Cartæ_ and elsewhere under Henry II.
