[296] This, apparently, refers to Depden, as forming part of Peverel's fief, which had been an escheat, in the king's hands, as early as 1130 (_Rot. Pip._, 31 Hen. I.). [297] Hasculf de Tany was ancestor of the Essex family of Tany, of Stapleford-Tany, Theydon Bois, Elmstead, Great Stambridge, Latton, etc. He appears repeatedly in the Pipe-Roll of 31 Hen. I. (pp. 53, 56, 58, 60, 99, 152), when he was in litigation with William de Bovill and Rhiwallon d'Avranches. [298] "Graelengus" is proved to be identical with "Graelandus de Thania," the Essex tenant-in-capite of 1166, by Stephen's second charter (Christmas, 1141), which gives his holding as 7½ fees, the very amount at which he returns it in his _Carta_ (see p. 142). But his contemporary, Graeland "fitz Gilbert" de Tany, on the Pipe-Rolls of Henry II., was probably so styled for distinction, being a son of Gilbert de Tany who figures on the Essex Pipe-Roll of 1158. [299] Compare the phrase "superplus militum" in _Rot. Pip._ 31 H. I. (p. 47). [300] "Predictis;" "ei quod omnia;" "et sint inforciata" (Mr. Birch). [301] Bushey in Hertfordshire. Part of Mandeville's Domesday fief. [302] Mr. Birch reads "pertinuerunt." [303] "Pertinuit"—Mr. Birch's conjecture. [304] "Quod aliquando"—Mr. Birch's conjecture. [305] Mr. Birch reads "placito hac teneat." [306] Mr. Birch reads "tre mee." [307] Mr. Birch conjectures "ponantur in (placitum)." [308] Mr. Birch conjectures "Baldewino Comite Devonie." [309] On Robert Arundell, see Yeatman's _History of the House of Arundel_, p. 49 (where too early a date is suggested for this charter), and p. 105 (where it is implied that he was a tenant of the Earl of Gloucester). He occurs repeatedly in the Pipe-Roll of 31 Hen. I., and again in the Westminster charters (1136) of Stephen. (See Appendix C.) [310] Robert Malet also was a west-country baron. He figures in connection with Warminster in the Pipe-Roll of 31 Hen. I., and is among the witnesses to the Westminster charters (1136), being there styled "Dapifer" (see Appendix C.). The _carta_ of the Abbot of Glastonbury (1166) proves that he was the predecessor of William Malet, _dapifer_ to Henry II. [311] Another west-country baron. He was one of the rebels of 1138, when he held Castle Carey against the king (_Hen. Hunt._, p. 261; _Ord. Vit._, v. 310; _Gesta_, p. 43). According to Mr. Yeatman, he was son of "William Gouel de Percival, called Lovel," Lord of Ivry (_History of the House of Arundel_, p. 136). He is however wrongly termed by him "Robert (_sic_) Lovel" on p. 268. He witnessed an early charter of the Empress to Glastonbury (_Journ. B. A. A._, xxxi. 390).
