[Footnote 22: PACY SUR L'EURE, arrondissement of Evreux. Pacy seems at the conquest to have belonged to William Fitz-Osbern. But there certainly was a William de Pacy in 1080, who possibly held under him. _Ord. Vit._ 527--576.] [Footnote 23: COURCY has occurred before. The lords of Courcy known to have held the office of seneschal were Robert, under the empress Matilda, and William, under Hen. II.; and there is no other authority than Wace's for its belonging to earlier members of the family. It is possible that one of the Courcys of Wace stands for Courceilles. In the Bayeux inquest, 'Gosellinus de Corcella feodum v mil. in Corcella et in Berneriis.' In the Red book is a similar entry, substituting Rogerus for Goscellinus. He appears among the jurors, and is there called Gangelinus. Roger de Corcelles is a landholder in Domesday, _Introd_. i. 401.] [Footnote 24: LACIE also has occurred before. Here the expression is peculiar, 'un chevalier de Lacie,'--which was intended perhaps to distinguish him from the superior lord, before mentioned.] [Footnote 25: GACÉ, arrondissement of Argentan. Robert de Gacé, grandson of archbishop Robert, and son of Ralf 'caput Asini,'--who was concerned in the murder of Gilbert count of Brionne--died without children before the conquest, and the duke seized his lands. _Orderic. Vit_. 488 and 681. Who held Gacé afterwards under the duke does not appear.] [Footnote 26: The cradle of the noble family of D'OILEY is, on the authority of M. Le Prevost and M. Galeron, to be sought at Ouilly-le-Basset, arrondissement of Falaise. Robert d'Oily was the one at the conquest. His daughter Maud married Milo Crespin, who had with her Wallingford castle. _Introd. Domesday_, i. 458; ii. 361.] [Footnote 27: SASSY, arrondissement of Avranches, near Pontorson. Jourdain de Sacey appears in a charter of Richard de Subligny, bishop of Avranches, about the middle of the twelfth century; and see M. de Gerville's _Recherches_, No. 93. A.L.P.] [Footnote 28: VASSY, arrondissement of Vire. Robert and Ivo de Vassy--Vesci in English orthography--were in William's expedition, and settled in England. A.L.P. In the Bayeux inquest, 'Enguerandus de Vaceyo, vavassor, sed servit pro dimidio mil.' In the Red book is 'Juliana de Vaacio 4 mil.' In the _Mém. Ant. Norm_. viii. 28, William Vassy and Robert his brother appear in a charter, which is afterwards quoted p. 143, giving their names as Waace,--apparently the same name as the poet's.] [Footnote 29: LE TOURNEUR, near Vire. A.L.P.] [Footnote 30: PRESLES, arrondissement of Vire. In the Red book, 'In ballia de castro de Virâ,' are 'Joannes de Praeriis dim. mil.' and 'Mattheus de Praeriis 4 partem.']
