^{page 180 note a} This peculiar name, Jernegan or Jarnogon, as also the name Koald (which will presently be met with), are Breton appellatives. They occur frequently among the names of parties and witnesses to the charters of the eleventh and twelfth centuries, printed in the second volume of Dom. Lobineau's Histoire de Bretagne (for examples see pp. 170, 174, 199, 241). They were, it is needless to add, first introduced by the vassals of Alan of Brittany, lord of the honour of Richmond temp. Will. Conq. Roaldus, or Ruallus, appears to be the Latinized form of the Breton Rhiwallon.

^{page 180 note c} See Kirkby's Inquest, Surt. Soc., Preface, p. viii. and p. 148, for the reasons for assigning this survey to the fifteenth year of Edw. I. so far as Richmondshire is concerned. In the wapentake of Halykeld (p. 181) Avicia is recorded as mesne lady between Alan and Robert de Eskelby and the Earl of Richmond in respect of five carucates of land in Estkilby (Exelby) and Lemynge. In Karethorp she held, apparently in demesne, eleven carucates immediately of the earl. In East Tanfelde Robert de Clesely held six carucates of her, and she held other two, making up the entire vill, of John de Vescy, and he of the king. In West Tanfelde she held eleven carucates, the entire vill, of the earl. In Wath she held under Brian FitzAlan, who held of the earl, two carucates. In Melworby four carucates were held by the Abbat of Fountains under Avicia, who held of the earl. In the wapentake of Gilling East (p. 175) Avicia is mentioned as holding in Langton Parva four carucates of the earl. Manfield, situate in this wapentake, two miles south of Pierce Bridge, is not mentioned in the Inquest. Binsow I cannot identify. In Hang wapentake (p. 162) Avicia was mesne between the Abbat of Jervaulx for one carucate only in Burgh, held of Roaldus de Richmond, who held of the earl.

^{page 188 note a} See Glover's Inquisition 1584–5 (p. 464 ed. Foster) in the church notes of Catterick church. He notices “Argent, on a saltire sable five swans argent beaked and membered gules, William Burgh; impaling, Sable, a cross patonce or, Matildis Lascelles.” The coat sable, a cross patonce (al. flory) or, occurs in the ordinaries and rolls of arms for Lascelles of Sowerby in Eichmondshire and Allerthorpe.

Canon Eaine has through inadvertence engraved at the head of his sheet pedigree a cross flory without tincture as the arms of Richmond, which it was not.

^{page 189 note a} According to Dugdale, Bar. ii. 162Google Scholar, citing Pat. 2 Edw. IV. pars 1, m. 1, the duke's grant included all the Percy lands in Tyndale called Talbot's lands. Prudhoe was an old Umfreville possession, and as their heiress married Talbois, that name, I suspect, should be read for Talbot.

^{page 193 note a} Symon de Montagu at Carlaverock bore on his banner, Azure, a griffin or. His seal to the Baron's letter 1301 gives three fusils in fess, but with two griffins by way of supporters.

The seal of Simon de Montacute, Bishop of Ely 1337–1345, presents a small escutcheon of his arms, Bendy, on an inescutcheon threo fusils in fess, while the griffin appears at the foot of the Bishop's effigy, placed in an elegantly foliated panel.

George Neville, Bishop of Exeter, and afterwards Archbishop of York and Lord Chancellor, next brother to John Lord Montagu, had also a signet with the griffin, as appears from Claus. 4 Edw. IV. m. 9 dorso. apud Kymer, xi. 515, where there is a memorandum that on April 10 4 Ed. IV. (1464) George Bishop of Exeter, Chancellor of England, at St. Albans, sealed certain patents with the Great Seal then in liis custody, and afterwards put it into a bag of white leather and sealed it with his signet, bearing a figure “vocatum le Griffon,” in white wax, and sent it to the Master of the Rolls to keep. Lord Montagu used the griffin for crest and supporters in his seal preserved at Durham, engraved in Drummond's Noble Families (Neville). On this seal his arms are thus marshalled:—Quarterly, 1 and 4, Montagu, three fusils in fess, quartered with Monthei-mer, an eagle displayed ; 2 and 3, Nevill, a saltire.

^{page 197 note a} At Ellerton in Swaledale very near Catterick was a small Priory of Cistercian Nuns, to which Dame Alice no doubt belonged. Glover's Visitation calls her Prioress of Ellerton.

^{page 197 note b} The Visitation of 1584–5 (ubi supra) attributes to William II. the following sons:-1. William. 2. George. 3. Richard (m. Elinor, dau. to the Lord Spencer). 4. Thomas. 5. Sir John Borough, Knight of Rhodes. James is omitted. Three daughters are named, Alice, Ellen (m. to James Marshall), and Catherine (m. to Allen Fulthorpe). Canon Raine gives a son Henry.

^{page 194 note c} The brass is figured by Whitaker, , Richmondshire, ii. 28Google Scholar. I am indebted to Sir John Lawson for rubbings from the inscription which he has been good enough to take for me whilst these sheets have been preparing for the press. These rubbings confirm the date of William Burgh II.'s death as 1465, not 1462. The final of the date , might however be easily misread ; whence probably the mistake in the Obit.

^{page 195 note a} Several “vaccaries ” vaccariœ are mentioned in an extent of the honour of Richmond, 15 Ed. III., printed in Whitaker's, Richmondshire, i. 54Google Scholar. Among others, quœdam vaccaria vocata Sleightholme. These seem to have been dairy farms in the great forest among the hills west of Eichmond. Sleightholme itself is in Stanemore Forest, on a little river of the same name, north-west of Richmond.

^{page 196 note c} Probably from the match between these parties descended Edward Weldon of Colborne in Catterick parish, who made Ralph Lawson of Burgh, Esq. and Elizabeth (Burgh) his wife supervisors of his will, dated 1581, calling them his “singuler frends,” and begging “their worshippes to vouchsafe for God's sake and the consanguinitie betwixte them to take paynes.”—Richmondshire Wills, Surtees Society, p. 140, note.
