Extract

The Manor and Soke of Rothley, in the county of Leicester, compose a franchise described in Domesday as having been held by the Confessor, and being held, as ancient demesne, by the Conqueror at the date of the Survey. After one or two temporary alienations, manor and soke were granted by Henry III., in the twenty-ninth year of his reign, to the order of the Temple, when they were at once erected into a preceptory.
