_Norman Pedigrees_. In reference to your correspondent "B.'s" inquiries, he will find much information in the Publications de la Société des Antiquaires de Normandie. Under their auspices, M. Estancelin published in 1828 a full history of the Earls of Eu. I am not aware of any full collection of pedigrees of the companions of William the Conqueror: the names of several of the lands from which they took their designations yet remain. W. DURRANT COOPER. {267} _Norman Pedigrees._--In answer to "B.'s" query (No. 14. p. 214.), an excellent Gazetteer was published in Paris, 1831, entitled _Dictionnaire Complet Géographique, Statistique, et Commercial de la France et de ses Colonies; par M. Briand-de-Verzé_, pp. 856. Many of the names of the Conqueror's Norman companions will be found in that work; as, for instance, Geoffrey de "_Mandeville_, village. Calvados arrondissement, 31½ O.N.O. de Bayeaux," &c. Norman de _Beauchamp_: three Beauchamps are mentioned; that 51. from Avranches will be the one in question. C.I.R. Oxford, Feb. 19. 1850. _Norman Pedigrees._--Your correspondent "B." (No. 14. p. 214.) would probably find part of the information he seeks in _Domesday Book, seu Censualis Willelmi Primi Regis Angliæ_. But query? Is "B." right in supposing the prefix "De" to be _French_? Does it not rather originate in the _Latin_? "Domesday" is written in Latin throughout; and the "de," denoting the place, is there occasionally followed by what seems to be the Latin ablative case. I copy an example:-- "Canonici de Hansone ten. l. hida de Sansone," (i.e. loc. in co. Stafford.) Then of the person it is said-- "Sanson ten. de rege, &c.... iii. hid. træ in Hargedone," &c. J.S. _Translation of Ælian._--In answer to the query of "G.M." in No. 15. p. 232., I beg to state that in Lowndes's _Manual_, vol. i. p. 13., is the following notice under the head of "Ælianus Claudius:"-- "Various Histories translated by T. Stanley, London, 1665, 8vo. 5s. This translation is by the son of the learned editor of Æschylus, and was reprinted 1670. 1677." C.I.R. _Ave Trici and Gheeze Ysenoudi._--I regret that I cannot give "H.L.B." any further information about these ladies than the colophon I transcribed affords. To me, however, it is quite clear that they were sisters of some convent in Flanders or Holland; the name of their spiritual father, Nicolas Wyt, and the names of the ladies, clearly indicate this.
