thus says the charter
  of Thorney.            of donation. Guy de Croun, in obedience to the divine
                         inspiration, out of his ability, gave a certain parcel of
                         his estate to GOD and St. Nicholas, for the soul of William
                         the king, and Maud the queen, and for the soul of William
                         the First, that the Lord would grant him success in his
                         reign, and bring him to a good end; one carucat of land in
                         Spaldingue, with the appurtenances; his wife, all his sons
                         and daughters, and brothers, consenting thereto, for the
                         good of his soul.----He likewise gave ten carucats of land
                         in Pynchbeck to the abbey of Croyland, and two carucats in
                         Spalding to the same.

Alan de Croun = Muriel.
  Baron Croun.
  He was in highest favour with king Hen. I. to whom he was great steward of the
houshold. Petrus Blesensis says he was dear to the king above all other barons of the
court, and whose counsel he valued most. He so far excelled in industry, honesty,
wisdom, and sanctity, that he was called the King’s God, by the soldiery. In his
country at Frieston, he was called _Alan Open-doors_, because he kept so great a
house, says Leland in his Itinerary, Vol. VII. p. 126. He owned Southwarnburn, com.
Southampt. He founded the priory of Frieston for Benedictin monks, subject to the
abbot of Croyland, anno 1142: he was buried at Croyland abbey, on the south side of
the high altar. See the _Monasticon_, and History of Ingulfus and Continuation, and
Dugdale’s Baronage.                           |
