[Footnote 18: Probably HUGH DE LA MARE. The family remained both in Normandy and England; and is supposed to have sprung from the fief of la Mare, in the commune of Autretot, near Ivetot. A charter of St. Louis, of 1259, gives to Jumieges all that had fallen to that prince of the tenement of William de la Mare, knight, and of other tenements in the valley of la Mare; but the historian of the abbey is ignorant where that valley was. A.L.P. Mr. Stapleton observes, in correction of this statement, that the great fief of La Mare was at St. Opportune, arrondissement of Pont Audemer; the castle being built upon piles near the lake, still called Grand-mare.] [Footnote 19: NEHOU, in the arrondissement of Valognes--Neel's hou or _holm_, (place surrounded by water, or liable to be so, as in this case)--'Nigelli humus' in charters; see _Gallia Christ_, xi. This fief belonged to the Neel or St. Sauveur family, and afterwards passed to that of Reviers, and Reviers-Vernon; with whom it remained till the end of the thirteenth century; see M. de Gerville's _Recherches_, No. 17. Either the same person is again enumerated below by Wace as Reviers; or some vassal or junior member of the family held one of the fiefs at the conquest. In the Red book roll, 'Richardus de Vernone 10 mil. de honore de Nehalhou, et ad servitium suum 30 mil. in Constant: idem de com. Mort. 5 mil: idem 16 mil. de honore Vernone, ad custodiam castri de Vernone.'] [Footnote 20: PIROU, near Lessay, in the Cotentin; see M. de Gerville's _Recherches_ No. 48. William de Pirou signs as 'dapifer' in a charter of Hen. I. A charter to Lessay in _Gall. Christ_, (temp. Hen. II. not Hen. I. as there called) names several lords of Pirou. See _Introd. Domesday_, ii. 347.] [Footnote 21: BEAUFOY, Beaufou, or Belfai--Bellus fagus. The scite of the caput of this barony is in the environs of Pont l'Evesque. The lords of Beaufou descended in the female line from Ralf, count d'Ivry, uterine brother of duke Richard I. The Beaufou of the conquest is called Robert both in _Wace_ and _William of Poitiers_, but Raoul in contemporary documents; so also in Domesday we find Radulf de Bellofago; see _Introd. Domesday_, i. 379, 380. In the Red book, 'Richardus de Belphago 2 mil. et ad servitium suum 6 mil. et tres partes.']
