[Footnote 45: FERTÉ MACÉ--(Feritas Matthæi)--arrondissement of Dunfront. A sister of Odo bishop of Bayeux, and of Muriel, the wife of Eudo cum Capello mentioned before, married the lord of Ferté Macé, as we learn from Mr. Stapleton, and probably assisted at the conquest. His son is called in a charter quoted in a 'vidimus' of an archbishop of Tours, temp. St. Louis, as 'Guills de Feritate castro diius, nepos dñi Odonis Baiocensis episc.' _Ordericus Vitalis_, mentions a William de la Ferté as leading troops in Maine in 1073. In the Red book, 'In ballia de Passeis'--'Matheus de Feritate 2 mil. et sibi 15 mil.'] [Footnote 46: The lord of BOUTTEVILLE, arrondissement of Valognes, was at the conquest; see M. de Gerville, _Recherches_, No. 24. Whether Boutevile in the Battle Abbey roll be meant for the same name as the Boutevilain of Brampton and Wace, is not clear. See the foundation of Pipewell in 1143. _Monasticon_, v. 431. There appear to have been Bouttevilles in Somerset and Bedford, and Bouttevilains in Northamptonshire. A.L.P.] [Footnote 47: The name of Trossebot--afterwards TRUSSBUT in England--occurs both in the Battle Abbey roll, and in Brampton. From _Ordericus Vitalis_ it appears that William Trossebot was one of the new men, raised by Hen. I. from comparative obscurity. In 1132 Jeffery Trusbut, or Fitz Payne, founded the priory of Wartre, in Yorkshire. In the Red book, 'Gaufridus Trossebot 1 mil. de serjanteria foresteriæ.'] [Footnote 48: WILLIAM PATRY, lord of LA LANDE-PATRY, arrondissement of Domfront. See La Roque, _Histoire de la maison d'Harcourt_, and _La Chesnaye des Bois. William of Poitiers_ makes William receive Harold at Eu; and the Bayeux tapestry, in bringing the count of Ponthieu with his captive, seems to vouch for the same account. Again, he says, 'secum in Britanniam _duxit_,' which may appear to clash with the literal purport of Wace's narrative; but probably these statements will not be thought very difficult of reconciliation. In the Red book roll, 'Willus Patric de honore de Loanda 1 mil. et ad servitium suum 3 mil.'] [Footnote 49: The pays de Caux.] [Footnote 50: See note to next chapter, as to the use of the shield, and the enarmes, and guige.] [Footnote 51: RALF DE MORTEMER, not Hugh his son, appears to have been with the expedition. An instance of Wace's imperfect knowledge of this family has been noticed at the battle of Mortemer; where he omits all reference to Roger de Mortemer, Ralf's father. Roger lost his estates on that occasion; and though he was soon after restored, the fief of Mortemer remained with William Warren. Ralf, however, afterwards recovered this also, and made donations in favour of St. Victor-en-Caux, which in 1074 had been raised by Roger to the rank of an abbey. Ralf received large possessions in England: he was living in 1104, and then took part with Hen. I. In the Red book, 'Hugo de Mortuo-Mari 5 mil. et ad serv. suum 13 et dim.' See _Introd. Dom_., i. 455.]
