Elsewhere the two chaplains are identified as Roger of Tockenham and Richard Pincun (Liant. A.1, I, no. 59; II, no. 3).

^{page 8 note 1} I have used the form ‘Llanthony Secunda’ to describe the house established at Gloucester. The place-name, deriving from Llanthony-in-Ewias, is Lanthony.

^{page 8 note 2} Only once did it appear that in volume A.9 there might be preserved a charter of Earl Miles not to be found elsewhere in the Llanthony muniments, but the rubricator had simply made an error in an initial letter. A similar slip in a marginal note to B.M., Add. MS. 47182, aggravated by a partial emendation in print, produced an interesting possibility. The manuscript, formerly in possession of the earls of Egmont, is a seventeenth-century collection of charters relating to peerages and titles of honour. In the report which the Historical Manuscripts Commission issued on the manuscripts of the earls of Egmont there is a note that the manuscript contains a charter of King Stephen creating Miles earl of Hereford (Hist. MSS Comm., Appendix to Third Report (1879), p. 233Google Scholar; the report was drawn up by A. J. Horwood). The charter in question is Stephen's confirmation to Miles of totum honorem suum de Gloucestria. The charter is to be found in a number of manuscripts and was printed by Round from two transcripts in B.M., Lansdowne MSS 229, fo. 109, and 259, fo. 66 (Round, J. H., Geoffrey de Mandeville (London, 1892), p. 11Google Scholar). The marginal note in B.M., Add. MS. 47182, reads Miles de Glocestria factus comes Gloucestriae per regem Stephanum, and this false rubric was only partly corrected by A. J. Horwood.

^{page 9 note 2} Henry II issued a number of charters at Brug (i.e., at Bridgnorth) in the summer of 1155, and Earl Roger appears among the witnesses (Eyton, R. W., Court, Household and Itinerary of King Henry II (London, 1878), p. 11).Google Scholar

^{page 9 note 3} After his death the abbot of Gloucester preferred to secure land provided by Walter of Hereford and confirmed by his charter in exchange for the 100 solidates of land which Earl Roger gave, with the assent of his brother, when he became a monk there (see below, no. 76).

^{page 9 note 4} His death is recorded in the annals of Tewkesbury under this year. These annals are consistent with a year beginning at about Christmastide (Annales Monastici, ed. Luard, H. R., i (R.S., 1864), p. 49).Google Scholar

Regesta, ii, no. 1490), and his confirmation was probably issued after that date. Walter of Gloucester died c. 1126, and his son's charter cannot have been issued much before the limiting date, 1127.

^{page 31 note 1} The list of rents falls short of half a mark by two pence, and it seems likely that the half a mark of the charter is intended as a rough figure for 6s. 6d.

^{page 31 note 3} William served three generations of the Gloucester family, and held land in Gloucester. I take him to have been a fully-equipped knight holding a feudum loricae, and it looks as if he was a permanent member of the garrison of Gloucester Castle. His gift of a hauberk to Earl Roger was symbolic of his position, which must have been very similar to that of a household knight. His tenement in Gloucester can scarcely have provided suitable support for a knight, but he may well have occupied the position of a tenant by serjeanty, as, in a later century, his name would imply.

I have not found any indication that he served in the earl's household, but the grant is very similar to a grant made to Brecon Priory by Henry of Hereford and Mahel of Hereford: they increased a grant of 2s. made by Earl Miles to one of 5s. Henry of Hereford did this pro Godefrido coco faciendo monache qui mihi et antecessoribus meis honorifice servivit usque ad monachatum.

Potto Hicks. Since then I have been able to see the MSS through the kindness of Lady Vestey and Dr C. D. Ross. I am indebted to Lady Vestey for permission to print the charters from the Cirencester cartularies, and to Dr Ross, who is preparing an edition of the Cirencester cartularies, for enabling me to examine them while they were in the Library of Bristol University.

^{page 36 note 1} The butler is not named in the MSS. The identification is made possible from a series of charters issued by Ralph and other members of his family to Llanthony Secunda (Liant. A.1, VI, especially nos 3, 4, 5, 14 and 18; some of these charters occur in A.4, fos 101–2).

^{page 37 note 1} Roger de Pîtres, husband of Adeliza, had been succeeded by his brother Durand as sheriff of Gloucestershire before 1086. His son, Walter the constable, died some forty years later, and Adeliza could still then have been alive. Walter's death (c. 1126) provides the later limit of date for this charter. An earlier limit is provided by the suggestion, argued very forcibly by Mr G. H. White, that Walter obtained the office of a royal constable in 1114, when it was forfeited by Robert, son of Urse d'Abetot (‘The Constables under the Norman Kings’, Genealogist, xxxviii (1922), pp. 113–27Google Scholar, and ‘The Household of the Norman Kings’, Trans. Roy. Hist. Soc., Fourth Series, xxx (1948), pp. 127–55Google Scholar; his case is presented clearly in summary on p. 150).

Robert, earl of Gloucester, had some interest in the land, and issued a charter of confirmation at some time between 1122 and 1147 (Glouc. Cart., i, p. 189Google Scholar, no. 77). After 1143 Roger, earl of Hereford, gave the monks permission to build a house on this land (above, no. 34). Earl Robert's confirmation may have been connected with this further grant. If, on the other hand, it should be associated with Adeliza's grant, it would provide the slightly narrower limits of date, 1122–c. 1126.

^{page 37 note 2} The endowments of St Owen's were absorbed into those of Llanthony Secunda when it was founded by Miles of Gloucester. St Owen's was dedicated at the request of Walter of Gloucester by Bishop R. of Hereford, who issued a charter of confirmation (Llant. A.1, I, no. 52). This bishop is identified as Robert by the rubricator of A.1. If this identification is soundly based, he is Robert de Losinga (†26 June 1095), who could reasonably be expected to act in the neighbouring diocese of Worcester after the death of Bishop Wulfstan on 18 Jan. 1095. I have accepted the rubric and dated the charter accordingly (see Trans. Bristol and Glos. Arch. Soc., lxxix, part ii, p. 179Google Scholar). If the rubricator was in error, the alternative datings are provided by the episcopal years of Bishop Reinelm (cons. 11 Aug. 1107; †27 or 28 Oct. 1115) or Bishop Richard de Capella (cons. 16 Jan. 1121; †15 Aug. 1127). A slight indication, though by no means a decisive one, that the earlier date is to be preferred is that the grantor used the style of Gloucester, and not that of constable, an office which he acquired at a later date (see above, p. 37, n. 1). But we do not have enough of Walter of Gloucester's charters to know what his normal practice might have been.

^{page 38 note a} The order of the following grants differs slightly in A.5. The grant of Cerney is followed by that of Chirton, then Lockeridge, Barrington, Haresfield, Little Hereford, Ullingswick and Caldicot.

^{page 38 note 1} The date was suggested by Round. Miles of Gloucester was married in 1121. His daughter Margaret, a witness to this charter, was presumably the only child of the marriage at that time. His son Roger was married in 1137 and cannot therefore have been born much after 1123. The latest date for the issue of this charter is fixed by the death of the grantor, c. 1126.

^{page 39 note 1} The latest limit of date is provided by the death of the grantor, c. 1126.

^{page 39 note 2} Earl Roger gave the land which he held of the fee of Walter de Lacy and confirmed the grant of Cuple after 1148 (above, nos 17, 18). Cecily's charter was presumably issued soon afterwards and while her husband was still alive.

^{page 39 note 3} The limits of date are provided by the deaths of Earl Roger and William fitz John. I assume that the charter was passed after the death of Earl Roger since he is not associated with this grant. As herberglator Osbert was presumably responsible for making arrangements for lodging and provisions for Payn fitz John.

^{page 39 note 4} W. St C. Baddeley published the charter on two occasions, an extract, very inaccurately transcribed in 1918–19, and a full and much corrected version ten years later.

^{page 60 note 1} See p. 10.

^{page 60 note 2} The later limit of date is supplied by the clear indication that Henry II was still alive. Since Humphrey de Bohun, the constable, is not included in the pro anima clause, the latest possible date for the charter should probably be 1181.

^{page 61 note 1} The dates are provided by the episcopal years of Robert Foliot (cons. 6 Oct. 1174; †9 May 1186). Since this charter is associated with the grants made by Earl Miles and his sons, and with the confirmations by Henry II of their grant of the chapel of the castle of Gloucester, the capellaria of Margaret's barony would seem to be the oblations of her chapel, wherever she might be within her barony.

^{page 61 note 2} The limits of date are those of William fitz Stephen's tenure of office as sheriff of Gloucestershire.

^{page 62 note 1} See p. 10. The later limit is provided by the attestation of William fitz Stephen. As Henry de Bohun is the first witness, the charter was presumably issued after the death of his father. This is the more likely since, in an earlier charter to Philip the monk (above, no. 98), Margaret had required him to do homage to Humphrey de Bohun, her heir.

^{page 62 note 2} William, bishop of Worcester, was consecrated on 21 Sept. 1186 and died on 3 May 1190; these are the outside limits of date for this charter. Henry II renewed his crusading vow in Jan. 1188, and the charter probably belongs to the last 18 months of his reign.

The rubricators of the Llanthony cartularies distinguished between 105 and 107 as charters concerned with South Cerney given in exchange for Quedgeley, and no. 106 as a charter concerned with South Cerney and its liberties. I have retained the order of these three charters as they are copied in A.1 and A.9.

^{page 73 note 1} See p. 10. An Osbert of Westbury was associated with Walter of Gloucester (see above, no. 60). This charter of Margaret de Bohun establishes the association between Osbert and Earl Miles. Earl Roger gave Osbert lands to augment his fee (see above, no. 53). Margaret was served by Roger son of Osbert, while Henry de Bohun, earl of Hereford, confirmed the family's estates to Richard son of Roger. Whether Osbert was long-lived, or whether father and son of the same name followed each other cannot be established.
