PREFACE. 

Amongst  the  manuscripts  which  the  Council  of  the 
Surtees  Society  has  suggested  as  being  suitable  for 
publication,  the  following  has  occupied  a  place  on  the 
list  for  many  years.  "  Feodarium  Thomae  de  Melsonby. 
A  survey  made  by  Prior  Melsonby  (1233-44)  of  the 
estates  belonging  in  his  time  to  the  Prior  and  Convent 
of  Durham,  of  the  same  nature  as  the  Boldon  Book  and 
Bishop  Hatfield's  Survey."  Such  a  compilation,  though 
never  recently  seen  by  any  one,  was  presumed  to  be  still 
existing,  incorporated  with,  or  accompanying,  a  rental  of 
1430,  among  the  well-preserved  records  of  the  Convent. 
"  Melsamby  Buk  "  is  referred  to,  as  a  well-known  muni- 
ment, in  a  paper  on  Durham  Records,  printed  in  Col- 
lectanea Curiosa,  vol.  ii.  Hutchinson  also  gives  an 
extract,  headed  "  Feodar.  Melsonby,  p.  60,  rentali 
feodarii  prioris,  A°  1430,"  apparently  from  Grey's  notes, 
in  the  third  volume  of  his  History  of  Durham,  p.  108, 
under  Billingham.     The  MS.   from  which  that  extract 

o 

(the  only  one  Hutchinson  had  met  with,  showing  the 
nature  of  the  record)  had  been  derived,  after  remaining 
unnoticed  for  some  time,  in  consequence  of  having  been 
placed  amongst  a  series  of  documents  with  which  it 
had  no  connexion,  came  to  light  in  1871,  and  forms  the 
groundwork  of  the  present  volume. 

It  is  not  a  separate  original  survey  made  by  Thomas

de  Melsambi,  but,  with  rare  exceptions,  a  rental  of  free- 
hold estates  only,  compiled  in  1430,  from  an  ancient 
feodary,  attributed  to  that  Prior,  and  from  other  muni- 
ments of  the  Convent  of  Durham.     Whether,   at  the 
time  of  its  compilation,  any  survey  made  by  Melsambi 
was  in  existence  or  not  it  is  impossible  to  say.     It  is 
plain,  from  a  passage  noted  in  p.  119,  referring  to  Mel- 
samby  Buk,  that   successive   feodaria   or  rentals   were 
compiled  from  time  to  time,  all,  doubtless,  based  upon 
the  original  one  of  Melsambi,  but  brought  up  to  the 
time  when  they  were  severally  made.     The  same  course 
appears  to  have  been  adopted  with  regard  to  the  estates 
of  the  Bishop  of  Durham.     No  episcopal  surveys  (ex- 
cept  copies  of  a  list  of  knight's   fees  in  the  time  of 
Bishop  Kirkham,   1249-60),  between  Pudsey's   Boldon 
Book  and  Hatfield's  Survey,  remain.    We  have  no  evi- 
dence of  the  existence  of  the  original  Boldon  Book  since 
the  early  copies  of  it,  to  which  we  owe  our  knowledge 
of  that  valuable  record,  were  made ;  and,  even   at  the 
time  of  the  making  of  them,  those  copies  plainly  indi- 
cated its  alteration  from  time  to  time.   Hatfield's  Survey 
not  only  refers  to  "  Boldon  Bok,"  but  also  to  "  antiquum 
rentale,"  and  an  annotator  once  says  "  videatur  antiquum 
rentale  Lodowici."    For  the  period  since  Hatfield's  Survey, 
at  the  end  of  which  Boldon  Book,  as  modified,  is  copied, 
we  have  some  other  surveys  of  the  tenancies  held  under 
the  Bishop  by  other  than  knight's  service,  and  also  two 
or  three  inventories  of  those  of  the   Convent,    one  of 
which  forms  the  second  document  printed  in  this  volume. 
The  evidence,  then,  shows  that  surveys  or  rentals  were 
made  from  time  to  time,  that  the  older  ones  were  not  at

once  destroyed,  on  the  making  of  a  new  one,  but  that, 
eventually,  they  were  made  away  with,  either  as  con- 
fusing and  unnecessary,  or  as  inconsistent  with  later 
pretensions. 

The  Feodarium  of  1430,  whatever  the  original  survey 
of  Prior  Melsambi  may  have  been,  is,^  per  sc,  by  no 
means  a  document  of  a  similar  nature  to  Boldon 
Book  or  Bishop  Hatfield's  Survey.  It  is,  as  has  been 
already  observed,  merely  an  account  of  the  free  holdings 
of  land  under  the  Prior  and  Convent,  such  as  would 
have  been  produced  for  the  episcopal  manors  had  the 
lists  of  Liberi  Tenentes  been  severed  from  the  rest  of 
Hatfield's  Survey,  and  such  as  is  found  with  the  military 
tenures  in  the  Testa  de  Nevil,  under  the  head  of  Soca- 
gium,  for  each  Northumbrian  barony.  It  contains  no 
list  of  the  inferior  monetary  and  servile  tenures,  nor  are 
there  found  in  it  any  notes  of  the  rents  and  duties  of 
their  holders,  such  as  form  so  large  and  important  a  part 
in  Boldon  Book,  and  to  some  extent  in  its  successors. 
The  Feodarium  is  one  liberorum  reddituum,  and  relates 
to  the  free  holdings  under  the  Convent,  and  not  to  such 
estates,  or  portions  of  them,  as  were  held  by  customary 
or  other  inferior  holders.  Though  it  is,  therefore,  by  no 
means  so  full  or  so  valuable  a  record  as  any  of  the 
earlier  episcopal  surveys,  yet  its  interest  is  very  great, 
and  it  demands  printing  at  the  hands  of  a  Society  which 
had  already  printed  Boldon  Book,  Hatfield's  Survey,  and 
the  Black  Book  of  Hexham,  and  was  further  proceeding 
with   the  preparation  of  Langley's  Survey,  and   other 

^  It  appears  certain,   from  the  evidence  quoted,  p.  119,  note  2,  that  the 
original  survey  included  inferior  tenures. 


IV  PREFACE. 

episcopal  muniments  for  the  press,  when  the  Durham 
episcopal  records,  notwithstanding  the  enormous  re- 
venues of  the  noble  franchise  liable  to  their  proper  con- 
servation, were,  unfortunately  for  local  interests  and  the 
objects  of  this  Society,  legally  or  illegally  removed  to 
London.  This  was  done  after  years  of  neglect  by  the 
owners  of  the  franchise,  and  the  result  has  been  the 
withdrawal  of  the  documents,  more  or  less,  from  the 
use  of  those  principally  interested  in  their  contents,  by 
whom  they  had  been  used  to  a  very  large  extent  for  legal 
and  literary  purposes. 

The  Feodarium,  it  will  l)e  found,  forms  a  very  small 
portion  of  the  volume,  though  it  is  the  groundwork 
upon  which  all  the  other  and  illustrative  materials  rest, 
and  in  connexion  with  which  they  place,  it  is  hoped, 
the  history  of  the  estates  of  the  Convent  of  Durham  on 
a  correct  basis. 

The  additional  and  illustrative  documents  are  these. 

I.  Two  charters  of  King  John,  printed  from  the  ori- 
ginals in  the  Treasury  of  the  Dean  and  Chapter  of  Dur- 
ham, but  which  are  also,  in  a  corrupt  form  as  regards 
nomenclature,  found  in  the  Rotuli  Chartarum  of  that 
King.  They  have  been  given  as  the  earliest  abso- 
lutely authentic  regal  confirmations  of  the  privileges 
and  estates  of  the  Convent,  because,  on  account  of 
their  being  entered  on  the  roll  of  King  John,  they  are 
entirely  without  suspicion.  In  the  appendix  to  the 
preface  will  be  found  an  almost  similar  confirmation  of 
King  Henry  the  Second,  and  therefore  an  earlier  regal 
confirmation  than  those  of  John  printed  in  the  body  of  the 
book.    There  is  no  reason  whatever  to  doubt  the  authen- 


PKEFACE. 


ticity  of  tlie  charter  of  Henry  11.  ;  but  as  it  only  exists 
as  an  original  one  amongst  the  muniments  of  the  Dean 
and  Chapter,  and  as  it  agrees  in  every  particular  with 
that  of  his  son  John,  it  seemed  best  to  the  editor  to 
print  as  the  royal  confirmation  of  greatest  authority, 
that  which  exists  not  only  at  Durham,  but  also  amongst 
the  archives  of  the  kingdom. 

II.  The  second  illustrative  document  is  an  Inven- 
tarium  Prioratus  Dunelmensis,  of  the  year  1464.  The 
inventory  consists  of  two  parts,  one  having  reference 
to  the  moveable,  the  other  to  the  immoveable  part,  of 
the  possessions  of  the  Convent.  The  latter  alone  is 
printed,  because  it  is  the  only  portion  of  the  record  which 
bears  upon  the  question  of  the  estates.  An  earlier  in- 
ventory, of  the  year  1446,  has  already  ])een  printed  by 
the  Surtees  Society  at  p.  cclxxxv  of  the  Appendix  to 
Historise  Dunelmensis  Scriptores  Tres.  The  inventory  is 
so  integral  a  part  of  the  history  of  the  estates  of  the 
Convent  that  it  could  not  be  omitted  in  the  present 
volume,  and  it  has  been  used  as  the  medium  through 
which  to  trace  all  the  various  portions  of  land  into  the 
possession  of  the  Convent,  This  has  been  done  in  the 
notes  to  the  Inventarium,  though  a  few  charters  of  title 
will  be  found  in  the  notes  to  the  Feodarium.  The 
editor  has  endeavoured  in  these  very  lengthy  notes  to 
show  the  channel  through  which  every  estate  passed 
into  the  hands  of  the  monks  ;  he  has  spared  no  pains 
in  his  endeavour,  and  he  hopes,  that  with  some  few  un- 
avoidable exceptions,  he  has  given  the  title-deeds  to  all 
the  land  mentioned  in  the  Feodarium. 

III.  The  third  document  is  one  which  was  commonly 


VI  PKEFACE, 

known  as  Le  Convenit,  and  was  an  agreement  ("  Priori 
et  Conventui  prsejudicialis  in  mult  is  '^  in  tlieir  estima- 
tion) made  between  Bishop  Eichard  "  dictus  Pauper " 
and  the  Prior  and  Convent,  in  the  year  1229.  As  the 
history  of  the  disputes  between  the  Bishops  and  the 
Convent  is  related  in  the  sequel,  it  is  not  necessary  to 
say  more  about  it  here  except  that  it  was  the  instru- 
ment by  which  those  disputes  were  finally  settled.  An 
interesting  account  of  the  culmination  of  these  disputes 
in  the  days  of  Bishop  Pauper's  predecessor  Bishop 
Richard  de  Marisco,  who  died  before  their  settlement, 
may  be  seen  in  Roger  of  Wendover's  Flores  Historiarum, 
under  the  year  1221.^  In  the  Appendix  to  the  preface 
will  be  found  two  charters,  of  Bishops  de  Puteaco  and 
de  Marisco,  which  are  illustrative  of  the  Convenit  and 
its  contents. 

IV.  The  Convenit  is  followed  by  a  curious  document 
relating  to  the  Placita  de  Corona,  one  of  the  matters  in 
dispute  between  the  Bishops  and  the  Convent.  This 
instrument,  there  can  be  little  doubt,  was  a  piece  of 
evidence  brought  forward  by  the  Convent  for  the  pur- 
pose of  the  final  settlement,  which  was  effected  by  the 
Convenit.  The  seals  of  the  thirty-eight  witnesses,  who 
attested  the  practice,  with  reference  to  the  pleas  of 
the  Crown,  within  the  lands  of  the  Convent,  are  still 
attached  to  it,  appearing  as  a  complete  fringe  along  its 
foot. 

V.  Two  series  of  examinations  of  witnesses  form  the 
fifth  illustrative  document,  perhaps  the  most  generally 
interestino;  one  in  the  volume.     Both  the  rolls  are  un-

PREFACE.  VU 

fortunately  imperfect  at  the  commencement.  They 
contain  the  evidence,  taken  down  apparently  at  the 
time,  of  the  witnesses  called  on  behalf  of  the  Bishop 
and  on  the  part  of  the  Convent,  with  respect  to  the 
various  matters  in  dispute  between  the  two  ecclesias- 
tical bodies.  Notwithstanding  the  indorsement,  which 
is  in  a  hand  at  least  two  centuries  later  than  the  rolls 
themselves,  internal  evidence  proves  that  they  were  taken 
during  the  episcopacy  of  Bishop  de  Marisco,  and  not 
that  of  Bishop  Pauper,  who  executed  the  Convenit.^ 
The  first  roll  is  that  which  contains  the  evidence  of  the 
witnesses  on  behalf  of  the  Bishop,  the  second,  of  those  on 
behalf  of  the  Convent.  A  marked  difference  in  the 
status  of  the  two  sets  of  witnesses  is  very  apparent. 
Those  who  were  called  on  the  part  of  the  Bishop  are, 
generally  speaking,  of  a  much  higher  grade  than  those 
who  gave  their  testimony  in  favour  of  the  Convent. 
This  is  only  what  might  be  looked  for  in  the  case  of  any 
Bishop  in  dispute  with  a  monastic  body  in  the  cathe- 
dral city,  but  was  likely  to  be  much  more  marked  w^hen 
the  Bishop  was  the  prelate  of  Durham,  who  had  temporal 
rights  and  powers  extending  far  beyond  those  usually 
possessed  by  the  occupants   of  an  ordinary  see.     It  is 

^  At  p.  270  Gaiifrid  de  Billmgham  given  in  the  time  of  Pauper,  though  it 

speaks  of  an  event  which  took  place  requires  some   straining  to  make  it 

twenty  j^ears  previous  to  the  time  of  fit  such  an  allowance  for  time,   but 

the  giving  of  his  evidence,  as  having  his  statement  that  an  event,  which 

been  during  the  episcopate  of  Bishop  occurred    thirty    years     previously, 

Philip  (de  Pictavia).    Taking  twenty  took  place  during  the  episcopate  of 

years  from  1228,  the  date  of  Bishop  Bishop  Hxigh  (de  Puteaco),  who  died 

Pauper's  accession,  we  get  1208,  the  in    March    1194-5,    seems    to    show 

last  year  of  Bishop  Philip.       So  far  conclusively   that  his  evidence   was 

there  is  nothing  in  his  evidence  which  given  during  the  reign  of  Bishop  de 

makes  it  conclusive  against  its  being  Marisco,  who  died  in  1225. 


VIU  PREFACE. 


true  indeed  that  many  of  the  gigantic  palatine  claims 
asserted,  and  to  some  extent  maintained,  by  later  Bishops, 
had  not  at  the  time  of  Bishop  de  Marisco  been  even 
heard  of;  nevertheless  the  Bishop  of  Durham  was  then 
possessor  of  privileges,  which,  in  ordinary  cases  of  tenure, 
belonged  only  to  the  Crown. 

The  historical  information  afforded  by  these  two  rolls 
is  both  varied  and  extensive,  and  throws  a  very  strong- 
light  upon  a  number  of  subjects  incident  to  the  times  of 
Bishops  Hugh  de  Puteaco  and  Philip  de  Pictavia.  In 
addition  to  much  graver  matter  there  are  a  good  many 
relations  of  an  almost  gossiping  nature,  which,  perhaps, 
give  a  more  vivid  and  hvely  impression  of  the  actors  on 
the  scene,  and  of  the  events  in  which  they  bore  a  part, 
than  any  strictly  formal  account  could  do.  There  are 
also  to  be  found  in  the  rolls  several  statements  having 
reference  to  both  civil  and  ecclesiastical  concerns,  of 
which  we  are  not  yet  in  a  position  to  understand  the 
full  force,  but  which  may  prove  of  great  service  to  some 
future  inquirer  into  the  history  of  the  See  of  Durham. 

VI.  The  last  document  is  part  of  a  Bursar's  rental,  of 
the  year  1539,  that  preceding  the  dissolution  of  the 
monastery.  It  brings  down  the  history  of  the  estates  of 
the  Convent  to  the  very  time  when  that  body  ceased  to 
exist,  and,  though  late,  it  is  useful  in  explanation  of  the 
general  items  of  the  Inventarium,  and,  in  some  degree, 
supplies  the  want  of  a  detailed  survey. 

It  is  not  intended  here  to  enter  into  any  lengthy  or 
circumstantial  history  of  the  Convent  of  Durham,  and 
of  the  earlier  monastic  or  semi-monastic  bodies,  of 
which  it  was  the  lineal  representative,  or  to  discuss. 


PREFACE.  IX 

with  any  minuteness,  the  question  regarding  the  relative 
position  of  the  Bishop  and  the  monasteries  with  which 
he  was  connected,  and  of  which  indeed  he  formed  an 
integral  part,  during  the  period  that  elapsed  between  the 
establishment  of  Christianity  in  Northumbria  and  the 
conquest  of  England  by  William  the  Norman.  Many 
and  important  changes  may  then  have  taken  place  in 
religious  bodies,  by  the  introduction  of  a  system  very 
different,  in  some  of  its  essential  parts,  from  that  which 
had  before  prevailed.  These  matters,  though  of  great 
interest,  could  hardly,  with  regard  to  the  understood  rules 
of  the  Society,  be  discussed  in  these  pages.  It  will, 
nevertheless,  be  necessary  to  make  some  short  inquiry 
into  the  history  of  the  origin  and  progress  of  the  Con- 
gregation of  Saint  Cuthbert,  as  represented  by  the 
Bishop  and  religious  persons  with  whom  he  was  con- 
nected, the  two  being  indeed  but  parts  of  one  general 
body.  Without  such  investigation  the  causes  of  dis- 
putes, which  originated  in  the  earliest  post-conquest 
days,  and  went  on  until  they  were  settled  by  the  execu- 
tion of  the  Convenit,  cannot  possibly,  I  think,  be  rightly 
understood.  Indeed  a  misapprehension  of  the  relations 
existing  between  the  two  ecclesiastical  corporations  has 
led  to  very  grave  mistakes,  and  has  been  one  principal 
reason  why  some  of  the  early  Bishops  of  Durham  have 
been  regarded  as  grasping  avaricious  robbers,  spoilers  of 
the  Church,  which,  from  their  office,  they  were  the  most 
bound  to  protect ;  as  ravening  wolves,  rather  than 
shepherds  of  the  flock,  desolating  when  they  had  the 
power,  and  afterwards,  on  their  death-beds,  becoming 
penitents  and  restorers,  and  making  restitution  of  their

unjustly  abstracted  possessions  to  an  offended  Saint. 
This  appears  to  me  to  be  an  erroneous  view,  and  it  will, 
I  hope,  be  corrected,  at  all  events  to  some  extent,  by 
the  statement  I  propose  to  give. 

Besides  this,  there  is  another  equally  important  and 
perhaps  more  difi&cult  question,  which  will  require  a 
somewhat  lengthy  discussion,  but  one  quite  unavoidable. 
It  will  be  noticed  that  I  repeatedly  speak  of  certain 
instruments  as  forged,  for  instance  the  charters  of  Bishop 
William  the  First  (de  Sancto  Carilefo).  These  represent 
the  foundation  deeds  of  the  Benedictine  monastery, 
established  by  that  Bishop  at  Durham,  and  form  one 
inseparable  and  complete  series  of  titles,  in  connexion 
with  confirming  instruments  of  King  WilHam  the  Nor- 
man, Archbishops  Lanfranc  and  Thomas,  and  bulls  of 
several  Popes.  This  series,  consisting  of  a  large  number 
of  varied  and  pretentious  documents,  I  am  compelled  by 
the  evidence  to  declare  to  be  a  tissue  of  forgeries,  an 
assertion  which  I  am  bound  to  verify  by  proofs.  Though 
a  difficult  task  it  is  not  one  uncertain  in  the  issue,  and  I 
doubt  not  that  I  shall  be  able  to  show,  in  the  very 
clearest  way,  and  through  more  than  one  line  of  argu- 
ment, that  the  instruments  in  question  are  spimous.  And 
here  it  may  be  well  to  state  that  I  lay  no  claim  to  the 
discovery  that  these  documents,  hitherto  universally 
accepted  as  genuine,  are  false.  That  discovery  is  due  to 
the  critical  sagacity  of  Dr.  W.  J.  O'Donnovan,  whose 
attention  was  directed  to  the  discrepancy  between  the 
date  of  some  of  the  instruments  and  the  time  of  the 
death  of  several  of  the  attesting  witnesses.  I  have  only 
followed  up    his  hint,   and  applied  other  and  equally

crucial  tests.  There  was,  however,  always  a  vague 
feeling  present  to  my  mind  that  this  series  was  not  al- 
together satisfactory,  as  regarded  the  authenticity  of  its 
various  component  parts,  but  the  impression  never 
became  sufficiently  strong  to  make  me  reject  the 
charters,  until  Dr.  O'Donnavan  showed  the  inconsistency 
of  the  witnesses  with  the  date  of  the  instruments.  It  is 
possible  that,  even  at  an  early  and  uncritical  period,  there 
were  misgivings  as  to  whether  these  writings  would 
stand  such  tests  as  would  then  be  applied  to  them. 
Roger  of  Wendover,  who  was  a  contemporary  of  Bishop 
de  Marisco,  and  who  writes  of  him  from  a  monastic 
point  of  view,  in  an  account  already  referred  to,  makes 
the  dispute  between  him  and  the  monks,  "  pro  quibusdam 
libertatibus  antiquis  et  consuetudinibus,  quas  iidem 
monachi  se  gavisi  sunt  multis  retro  temporibus,"  begin

suis  et  ecclesiae  suae  instrumentis,  ut,  siquid  in  eis  esset 
corrigendum  ad  perfectam  eorum  libertatem,  ipsius  arbi- 
trio  suppleretur;  prior  vero  et  monachi,  fraudem  episcopi 
habentes  suspectam,  instrumenta  sua  ei  nullatenus 
ostendere  voluerunt.  Episcopus  itaque,  cum  munimen- 
torum  inspectionem  habere  non  potuit,  juravit  quod 
omnia  bona  eorum  in  usus  suos  converteret,  adjiciens 
quod,  si  aliquem  ex  monachis  extra  portas  curiae  suae 
inveniret,  non  aliam  quam  caput  redemptionem  acciperet;

his  clerks  to  the  Pope  in  advance,  and  weakened  their 
cause.  The  end  of  the  matter,  Ijowever,  was  that  the 
Pope,  after  great  expense  had  been  incurred,  referred 
both  sides  back  to  some  bishops  in  England,  whom  he 
had  previously  commissioned  to  inquire  into  the  case. 

The  original  seat  of  the  Bernician  Bishopric  was  at 
the  Island  of  Lindisfarne,  now  Holy  Island,  and  the 
religious  community  there  dates  back  almost  to  the  time 
of  the  earliest  preaching  of  the  Gospel  in  Northumbria. 
The  first  settlement  of  the  body  of  religious  on  the  island 
was  in  the  year  635,  when  Oswald,  King  of  Northumbria, 
established  some  Scottish  monks,  from  lona,  at  the  place, 
and  made  Aidan,  one  of  them,  the  first  Bishop.  The 
sixth  Bishop  was  Cuthbert,  who  ruled  from  685  to  688, 
and  with  whom  both  the  Bernician  episcopate,  and  the 
monastic  body,  first  seated  in  Lindisfarne,  and  ultimately 
at  Durham,  became  identified  in  the  most  intimate  way. 
The  joint  ecclesiastical  bodies,  the  Bishop  and  the 
Monks,  became  in  time  the  Congregation  of  Saint  Cuth- 
bert,^ from  which  originated  those  two  magnificent  cor- 
porations, the  Bishop  and  the  Convent  of  Durham. 

For  nearly  two  hundred  and  fifty  years  the  seat  of 
the  Bernician  see  remained  in  Lindisfarne,  but  in  the 
year  875,  the  ravages  of  the  Danes  compelled  the  Bishop 
Eardulf  to  leave  the  place,  with  the  Congregation  and 
the  body  of  Saint  Cuthbert.  After  several  years  of 
wandering,  they  finally  settled  at  Chester-le-Street  in 
883,  which  then  became  the  resting-place  of  the  Saint,

and  ill  consequence  the  seat  of  his  Congregation.  At 
Chester-le-Street  they  remained  for  little  more  than  an 
hundred  years,  when  again,  in  995,  they  were  compelled 
by  the  Danish  incursions  to  leave  it,  and  after  a  brief 
term  of  wandering,  they  rested,  and  for  the  last  time,  at 
Durham,  induced  most  probably  to  select  that  site  on 
account  of  the  admirable  defensive  qualifications  of  the 
place.  Surrounded  as  it  is  almost  entirely  by  the  river 
AVear,  whose  precipitous  banks  form  a  natural  and  all 
but  impregnable  fortress,  the  spot  seems  especially  fitted 
by  its  many  natural  gifts,  for  the  site  of  what  became 
in  after  time  the  Palatine  See  of  Durham,  as  well  as 
of  one  of  the  wealthiest  and  most  powerful  monastic 
houses  in  England. 

The  Bernician  see,  at  the  time  of  the  flight  from 
Chester-le-Street,  and  the  settlement  of  Saint  Cuthbert 
and  his  Congregation  at  Durham,  was  presided  over  by 
Aldhun,  who  thus  became  what,  by  anticipation,  may  be 
called  the  first  Bishop  of  Durham.  A  church  was  built 
by  him  for  the  reception  of  the  body  of  Saint  Cuthbert, 
in  which  it  was  deposited  in  the  year  999.  This  build- 
ing did  not  remain  for  quite  an  hundred  years,  and  in 
1093,  Bishop  William  of  Saint  Carilef,  who  had  ]3re- 
viously  established  the  Benedictines  at  Durham,  com- 
menced that  magnificent  Cathedral,  which,  after  various 
changes  and  additions,  still  exists.  It  crowns  the  rocky 
height  of  Durham,  not  only  one  of  the  most  glorious 
examples  of  Norman  architecture  in  England,  but  in 
virtue  of  its  great  beauty  of  proportion,  its  solemn  and 
most  impressive  massiveness,  and  the  peculiar  but  strik- 
ingly effective  details   of  its  various  parts,  one  of  the

grandest  churches  of  a  country,  which  is  second  to  none 
in  Europe  in  those  marvellous  creations  of  Christian  art. 

It  would  be  a  very  difficult  if  not  an  impossible  task 
to  determine  the  exact  ecclesiastical  condition  of  the 
body  of  religious,  who  were  settled  successively  in  Lin- 
disfarne,  at  Chester-le-Street  and  Durham,  nor  does  it 
strictly  come  within  the  scope  of  this  preface.  It  is 
very  doubtful  whether  they  were  ever  monks  according 
to  the  strict  rule  which  ordered  such  bodies  in  other 
places,  and  later  at  Durham  itself.^  At  the  time  of  the 
accession  of  Bishop  William  of  Saint  Carilef,  the 
clergy,  whom  he  found  at  Durham,  were  in  no  sense 
monks,  though  whether  they  could  be  designated  as 
canons,  in  the  fullest  acceptation  of  the  term,  may  admit 
of  dispute.  In  place  of  the  existing  body,  of  whatever 
nature  it  precisely  was,  that  Bishop  established  a  regular 
monastery  after  the  ordinary  fashion  of  the  Benedictine 
order.  This  monastic  body  he  gifted  with  lands  and  other 
privileges,  consisting  for  the  most  part  of  those  to  which 
the  new  body  was  considered  as  in  some  respect  equitably 
entitled,  as  successors  of  the  previous  custodians  of 
the  body  of  Saint  Cuthbert.  It  will  now  be  expedient 
to  make  some  inquiry  into  the  relative  position  of  the 
Bishop  and  the  other  members  of  the  Congregation  of 
Saint  Cuthbert,  with  regard  to  the  estates  jointly  or 
severally  possessed  by  them. 

It  is  almost  certain  that,  on  the  first  establishment  of 
the  Bernician   see  in  Lindisfarne,  the  Bishop  was   an

integral  part  of  one  general  body,  having  indeed  a  dis- 
tinct status  and  governing  power,  but  possessing  no 
interest  in  any  estate  apart  from  the  body  as  a  whole.^ 
Still  more  certain  is  it  that  the  monastery,  or  whatever 
else  it  was,  or  might  be  called,  had  no  separate  interest 
apart  from  the  Bishop.  It  is  possible,  of  course,  that 
even  in  early  times  a  division  of  interests  might  arise,  as 
we  know  came  to  pass  in  much  later  days,  but  the  evi- 
dence which  we  possess  does  not  appear  to  me  to  warrant 
any  such  view.  The  Bishop  seems  to  have  lived  in 
Lindisfarne,  at  Chester-le-Street,  and  afterwards  at  Dur- 
ham, amongst  the  Congregation,  and  forming  part  of  it, 
with  little  or  no  separate  interest  more  than  the  Abbot 
of  a  monastery  possessed  apart  from  the  house  over 
which  he  presided.  The  evidence  on  this  point  is  but 
scanty,  and,  to  some  extent,  obscure,  yet,  on  the  whole, 
it  is  rather  in  favour  of  an  oneness  of  ownership  and

interest  than  of  a  diversity.  The  only  sources  of  infor- 
mation which  can  be  rehed  upon  as  giving  any  authentic 
evidence  upon  this  very  difficult  matter  are  the  well- 
known  work  of  Symeon  of  Durham,  Libellus  de  exordio 
atque  procursu  Dunhelmensis  Ecclesice,  and  two  still 
more  venerable  and  trustworthy  records,  the  Historia 
de  Sancto  Cuthberto,  by  an  uncertain  author,  and  the 
Liber  Vitse.  From  these  accounts  I  proceed  to  give 
those  passages  which  appear  to  throw  any  light  upon  the 
subject,  and  I  will  endeavour  to  show  how  they  are  in 
favour  of  the  view  stated  above. 

The  early  gifts  are  all  spoken  of  as  being  made  to 
Saint  Cuthbert  in  his  own  person,  whether  living  or 
dead,  and  not  to  any  body  as  apart  from  him.^  Bishop 
Ecgred,  we  are  told,  built  the  church  at  Gainford,  and 
also  the  two  vills  of  Ileclif  and  Wigeclif,  and  gave 
them,  with  Billingham,  in  Hartness,  to  Saint  Cuthbert." 
This  gift,  as  it  would  seem,  was  made  out  of  his  own 
lands,  for  Symeon,^  in  his  account  of  Ecgred's  gift  of 
Gainford  and  Billingham,  relates  that  he  was  of  noble 
birth,  and  therefore  probably  in  a  position  to  give  estates 
even  as  large  as  those  in  question.  They  were  the  first 
acquisitions  of  Lindisfarne  between  Tyne  and  Tees,  and 
were  locally  situated  within  the  bounds  of  the  diocese  of 
Hexham,  which  had  come  mysteriously  to  an  end  in 
820,  or  about  that  time.  Gainford  had  previously  pos- 
sessed a  monasteiy,  which  may  have  been  dissolved. 
King  Ceolwlf  and  the  same  Bishop  gave  to  Saint  Cuth- 
berht  Wudecestre,  Hwitingham,  Eadulfingham,  and  Eag-

wlfingham,  and  the  Bishop  is  further  said  to  have  con- 
secrated the  churches  of  these  vills.^  The  land  between 
Tyne  and  Wear,  in  accordance  with  the  results  of  an 
appearance  of  the  Saint  to  Abbot  Eadred/  was  given  to 
Saint  Cuthbert,  and  it  is  spoken  of  as  being  given  in 
the  same  personal  terms  as  the  other  grants.  It  would 
comprise  the  lands  of  the  destroyed  monasteries  of 
Gateshead,  Jarrow,  and  Wearmouth,  and  Symeon,  per- 
haps with  the  view  of  strengthening  the  title  of  his 
house  to  Bishop  William's  gifts  of  the  two  latter  estates, 
makes  this  very  large  and  sweeping  grant  to  be  to  Saint 
Cuthbert,  "  et  in  mea  secclesia  ministrantibus."  ^  The 
same  Abbot  bought  of  King  Guthred  the  vills  of  Seletun, 
Horetun,  two  Geodenes,  Holum,  Hotun,  and  Twiling- 
gatun,*  and  gave  them  to  Saint  Cuthbert.  Bishop 
Cutheard  bought  "de  pecunia  Sancti  Cuthberti"  the 
vill  of  Ceddesfeld  (Sedgefield),  and  all  belonging  to  it, 
"  prseter  quod  tenebant  tres  homines,  Aculf,  Ethelbyriht, 
Frithlaf."^  Over  this  excepted  land,  however,  the 
Bishop  is  said  to  have  had  sac  and  socn.  The  same 
Bishop,  we  are  told,  bought,  also  with  the  money  of 
Saint  Cuthbert,  Bedlingtun,  wdth  its  appendages.'^ 
Symeon,  in  his  History  of  the  Church  of  Durham,*^ 
speaking  of  the  same  Bishop,  without  mentioning  in 
particular  any  vills,  says  "quas  et  quot  villas  ipsius

turn  continet,  manifeste  declarat."  Tilred,  Abbot  of 
Hefresham,  in  the  time  of  King  Eadward,  bought  lodene 
Australis  (South  Eden) ;  the  half  of  this  he  gave  to 
Saint  Cuthbert,  that  he  might  be  a  brother  in  his  mon- 
astery, the  other  half  "  apud  Northam,"  that  he  might  be 
Abbot  there.  At  the  same  time  Bernard  the  priest  gave 
his  vill  of  Twinlingatun  to  Saint  Cuthbert,  that  he 
might  be  a  brother  in  his  monastery.  Then  follows  a 
remarkable  and  instructive  story.  Elfred  son  of  Birih- 
tulfinc,  flying  the  pirates,  "venit  ultra  montes  versus 
occidentem,"  and  seeks  the  mercy  of  Saint  Cuthbert, 
and  of  Bishop  Cutheard,  that  they  might  lend  him  (prse- 
starent)  some  lands.  Then  Bishop  Cutheard  lends  him 
"Esingtun,  Seletun,  Thorep,  Horedene,  lodene,  duas 
Sceottun,  lodene  Australem,  Holum,  Hotun,  Twinling- 
tun,  Billingham,  cum  suis  appendiciis,  Scurufatun." 
Amongst  these,  it  will  be  observed,  is  South  Eden,  just 
before  given,  in  respect  of  monastic  privileges,  by  Tilred, 
and  yet  here  dealt  with  by  the  Bishop  as  if  his  own. 
Then  follows  this  passage,  "  Has  omnes  villas,  sicut  dixi, 
prsestitit  Episcopus  Elfredo,  ut  sibi  et  Congregationi 
fidelis  esset."^  We  next  read  another  story  equally 
instructive,  how  that  Edred,  after  the  commission  of 
sundry  crimes,  "  ad  patrocinium  Sancti  Cuthberti  con- 
fugit."  He  remains  three  years,  cultivating  in  peace  the 
land  lent  to  him,  "  a  Cuthardo  Episcopo  et  a  Congrega- 
tione."^  Included  in  this  land  is  Geagenforda  (Gain- 
ford),  given  to  Saint  Cuthbert,  as  we  before  read,  by 
Bishop  Ecgred.  This  brings  us  down  to  the  time  of 
King  ^thelstan,  who  gave  to  Saint  Cuthbert  "Wire-

mutlie  Australem,"  afterwards  called  Bishop  Wearmouth, 
with  its  appendages,  "  Westun,  Uffertun,  SylcesAvurthe, 
duas  Eeofhoppas,  Byrdene,  Seham,  Setun,  Daltun,  Dal- 
dene,  Heseldene."  ^  The  gifts  of  Styr  the  son  of  Ulf,  and 
Snaculf  the  son  of  Cytel,  are,  by  the  anonymous  author 
or  his  continuator,  represented  as  having  been  made  to 
Saint  Cuthbert  merely,^  and,  though  Symeon  includes 
them  in  lands  "  ad  sufficientiam  Sancto  Confessori  min- 
istrantium,"  ^  they  were  eventually  episcopal  and  not 
conventual  estates.  We  next  find  an  important  notice 
in  the  relation  that  "  Aldhun  Episcopus  et  tota  Congre- 
gatio  Sancti  Cuthberti"  lent  to  three  Earls,  by  name, 
Ethred,  Northman,  and  Uhtred,  a  large  number  of  vills, 
which  it  is  unnecessary  to  specify.*  Then  follows  the 
gift,  by  King  Cnut,  of  Staindrop  with  its  appendages,  to 
Saint  Cuthbert,^  an  estate  which  afterwards  was  given 
by  Prior  Algar  and  the  Convent  of  Durham  to  Dolfin 
son  of  Uchtred.  Symeon,  in  recording  the  gift  of  Cnut, 
says  that  he  gave  it,  "  ei  (Saint  Cuthbert)  suisque  servi- 

toribus Hsec  itaque  ea  quidem  ratione  dedit,  ut 

prseter  eos  qui  ipsi  Sancto  in  secclesia  deservirent,  nemo 
se  intromitteret."  Some  entries  in  the  Liber  Vitse  also 
appear  to  strengthen  the  view  that  there  was  up  to  that 
time  no  distinction,  at  all  events  as  regarded  property, 
in  land  and  money,  between  the  Bishop  and  the  Congre- 
tion  of  Saint  Cuthbert.  The  date  of  the  following  gifts, 
which  are  all  recorded  together,  cannot  have  been  long 
after  Aldhun's  loan  to  the  three  earls,  as  one  of  them  is 
the  restorer  of  Ediscum  \Jiodie  Escombe],  which  Aldhun

From  another  early  tract,  "  De  obsessione  Dunelmi 
et  de  probitate  Uchtredi  Comitis,"  we  gather  some  very 
valuable  evidence,  which  shows  how  Bishop  Aldhun  dealt 
with  land  which  had  been  given  to  Saint  Cuthbert. 
The  Bishop,  we  are  told,  gave  to  Uchtred,  son  of  Earl 
Waltheof,  in  marriage  with  his  daughter  Ecgfrida, 
"has  villas  de  terris  ecclesise  Sancti  Cuthberti,  scili- 
cet, Bermetun,  Skirningheim,  Eltun,  Carltun,  Heaclif, 
Heseldene."  Eepudiated  by  Uchtred,  who  with  her  gave 
back  the  vills,  after  various  vicissitudes  in  marriage, 
which  it  is  not  necessary  to  inquire  about,  Ecgfrida  took 
the  veil,  apparently  at  Durham,  and  returned  "  Ber- 
metun et  Skirningheim  et  Eltun,  quas  in  propria  manu 
habebat  .  .  .  et  ecclesise  et  Episcopo  suas  proprias  terras 
secum  reddit."  The  whole  of  the  vills  originally  given 
by  the  Bishop,  with  his  daughter,  appear  to  have  been 
taken  possession  of  by  Arkil,  son  of  another  Ecgfrida, 
who  married  Sigrida,  daughter  of  Ecgfrida,  Aldhun's 
daughter ;  the  expression  is,  "  sibi  arripuit  illas  terras 
jam  vastatas  et  inhabitavit."  His  wife  dying,  Arkil 
gave  to  Saint  Cuthbert,    "Heseldene   .    .  .   et    Heaclif

et  Carl  tun,  quas  aclhuc  ecclesia  possidet."^  Barmtou, 
Skerningham,  and  Elton  seem,  therefore,  to  have  been 
retained  by  Arkil.  It  is,  however,  difficult  to  under- 
stand, having  only  the  shreds  of  evidence  we  now 
possess,  how  matters  stood  exactly.  Barmton  and 
Skerningham  certainly  were  afterwards  (Arkil  having 
become  an  exile)  in  the  hands  of  Eilsi  de  Teise,  the 
husband  of  another  descendant  of  the  first  Ecgfrida  ; 
the  history  of  Elton  is  obscure.  Any  difficulty  of  detail 
does  not  affect  the  position  I  have  assumed  with  regard 
to  the  ownership  of  the  lands  in  question  generally, 
which,  under  any  circumstances,  were  dealt  with  by 
Aldhun  as  if  they  were  his  own. 

It  appears  plain,  on  an  examination  of  each  individual 
statement,  as  well  as  from  a  general  view  of  the  scope 
and  intention  of  the  whole,  that  the  estates  given  to 
Saint  Cuthbert,  or,  in  other  words,  to  the  Congrega- 
tion of  that  Saint,  were  gifts  made  to  one  body,  of 
which  the  Bishop  and  the  monks  were  each  parts.  And 
if  there  was  any  separate  control  it  was  by  the  Bishop 
and  not  by  the  monks ;  for  if  we  read,  in  some  of  the 
extracts,  quoted  above,  of  the  Bishop  giving  or  lending 
lands  belonging  to  the  Church,  though  generally  it  is 
the  Bishop  and  Congregation  collectively,  who  act  in 
the  matter,  we  have  no  instance  where  the  monks  are 
recorded  as  dealing  alone  with  any  of  the  property  of 
Saint  Cuthbert. 

There  does  not  appear  indeed  to  have  been  any  occa- 
sion for  a  separation  of  estates,  as  the  two  bodies  seem 
to  have  formed  one  community,  living  together,  draw-

ing  their  subsistence  from  the  same  lands,  and  having 
an  identity  of  interests  as  well  as  of  purpose.  In 
illustration  of  this  it  will  be  well  to  refer  to  a  few  par- 
ticular cases.  Bishop  Cutheard  is  said  to  have  bought 
Sedgefield  and  Bedlington,  "  de  pecunia  Sancti  Cuth- 
berti."  The  expression,  though  not  decisive,  would  seem 
to  imply  that  the  money  came  from  the  general  hu7'sa 
of  the  Congregation  ;  no  such  phrase  is  used  in  con- 
nexion with  Bishop  Ecgred's  gift  of  Gainford  and  Bil- 
lingham,  which  have  already  been  assumed  to  have 
belonged  to  his  private  estates.  The  offering  of  valu- 
ables of  one  kind  or  another  to  the  Saint  was  continually 
going  on,  and  in  this  way  the  "  pecunia  Sancti  Cuth- 
berti "  was,  from  time  to  time,  replenished,  and  expended, 
amongst  other  ways,  in  the  purchase  of  land.  There  can 
be  little  doubt  that  even  in  the  early  times  in  question, 
as  was  the  case  in  later  middle-age  days,  the  large  reli- 
gious communities  were  amongst  the  money  lenders  of 
the  country  ;  and  many  an  estate  of  land,  which  was 
apparently  given,  really  came  into  the  possession  of  the 
monasteries,  by  a  process,  which,  to  all  practical  intents, 
was  very  much  like  our  modern  fore-closer  of  mortgage. 
Abbot  Tiked  is  said  to  have  given  the  half  of  South 
Eden  to  Saint  Cuthbert,  that  he  might  be  a  brother  in 
his  monastery.  Here,  if  anywhere,  we  might  expect  a 
separate  estate,  belonging  to  the  monks,  to  have  been 
created,  if  any  such  thing  existed.  But  South  Eden 
never  was  the  property  of  the  monks,  as  apart  from  the 
Bishop.  We  cannot,  perhaps,  argue  anything  from 
Bernard  the  priest,  and  his  gift  of  Twinlingatun,  made 
with  the  same  object,  because  it  is  not  certain  what 


PREFACE.  XXlll 

place  is  alluded  to  under  that  designation  ;  but  if,  as 
Mr.  Hodgson  Hinde  conjectures,  Willington  in  the  parish 
of  Brancepath  is  meant,  then  that  estate  never  belonged 
to  the  monks.  The  story  of  Elfred,  son  of  Birihtulfinc, 
need  not  again  be  specially  referred  to,  for  the  evidence 
it  aifords  has  been  already  sufficiently  considered. 

The  joint  ownership  of  the  lands  of  Saint  Cuthbert 
is,  however,  very  strongly  marked  by  the  expression, 
that  certain  land  was  lent  to  Edred,  "  a  Cuthardo  Epis- 
copo  et  a  Congregatione,"  and  the  same  joint  o^\^lership 
is  further  brought  out  by  the  fact  that  one  of  the  vills 
so  lent  was  Gainford,  mentioned  above  as  having  been 
given  to  Saint  Cuthbert  by  Bishop  Ecgred.  The  gifts 
of  the  two  kings,  ^thelstan  and  Cnut,  taken  together, 
throw  a  strong  light  upon  the  question  of  the  owner- 
ship in  common.  The  first  gave  South  Wearmouth, 
the  other  Staindi'op,  to  Saint  Cuthbert,  the  term  used 
being  the  same  in  both  cases,  and  yet  we  find  that 
afterwards  the  one  estate  belonged  to  the  Bishop,  the 
other  to  the  Prior  and  Convent,  the  gift  by  Cnut  of 
Staindrop  being  specifically  mentioned  hj  Symeon  the 
monk,  with  a  distinct  object  according  to  his  ideas, 
whilst  that  of  Wearmouth  is  not.  From  which  it  would 
appear  that  the  estates,  which  originally  belonged  to  the 
whole  body  as  one,  were,  when  two  separate  corporations 
had  been  established,  allotted  in  some  way  between 
them,  and  the  history  made  to  accord  with  the  division. 
The  gift  of  Earl  Thureth  is  said  in  the  Liber  Yitse  to 
have  been  made  to  Saint  Cuthbert's  "  stowe,"  that  is, 
to  his  house,  luit  the  land  is  that  which  is  afterwards 
found  to  belong  to  the  Bishop.     It  is  needless  to  refer 


XXIV  PREFACE. 


again  to  the  history  of  Bishop  Alclhun's  daughter 
Ecgfrida,  and  the  dealing  of  the  Bishoj)  with  the  lands 
of  Saint  Cuthbert,  the  fact  of  the  Bishop  treating  them 
as  if  they  were  his  own  being  quite  inconsistent  with 
the  monks  having  any  right  in  them  as  apart  from  the 
Bishop. 

If  then  the  lands  of  Saint  Cuthbert  were  originally 
held  in  common,  and  not  in  severalty,  by  the  Bishop 
and  the  monks,  or  by  whatever  name  the  persons  form- 
ing the  Congregation  of  Saint  Cuthbert  are  to  be 
designated,  we  have  an  explanation,  in  that  very  fact 
itself,  of  many  of  the  dissensions  which,  in  early  post- 
conquest  days,  arose  between  the  Bishop  and  the 
Convent  of  Durham.  From  one  cause  or  another,  the 
exact  bearing  of  which  it  is  impossible  now  to  appreciate, 
certain  estates  were  regarded  by  the  monks  as  having 
belonged  to  the  monastery  rather  than  to  the  Bishop, 
and  it  is  quite  possible,  that,  in  an  age  little  critical 
where  documentary  evidence  was  concerned,  they  might 
be  able  to  show  something  of  a  title  to  these  coveted 
possessions.  During  the  reign  of  BishojDS,  like  Gal- 
frid  and  William  the  Second,  the  monks  were  enabled 
to  obtain  somewhat  of  a  hold  over  estates,  which 
they  could  not  retain  under  a  strong-willed  and  even 
masterful  man  like  Hugo  de  Puteaco.  These  estates 
longed  for,  claimed,  and  for  a  time  possessed,  were 
again  reclaimed  by  the  Bishop,  and  then  arose  the 
clamour  of  robbery  and  spoliation,  a  clamour  not  per- 
haps always  raised  with  knowing  injustice  on  the  part 
of  the  monks,  but  arising  out  of  a  somewhat  vague  and 
not  to  be  proved  right  to  the  lands  in  question,  originat- 


PREFACE.  XXV 


ing  in  what  had  once  been  a  joint  ownership,  the  exact 
nature  of  which  was  at  the  time  forgotten.  Though 
one  party,  the  monks,  certainly,  as  the  forged  charters 
abundantly  testify,  and  the  other  party,  the  Bishop,  in 
all  probability,  had  recourse  to  very  irregular,  if  not  to 
dishonest,  means,  in  the  prosecution  of  their  respective 
claims  to  the  lands  in  dispute,  the  excuse  may  in  justice 
be  made  for  them,  that  each  party  believed  that  the 
lawful  ownership  was  vested  in  itself,  such  an  impression 
having  its  origin  in  the  at  one  time  joint  possession  so 
often  before  referred  to. 

These  disputes,  commencing  in  the  time  of  Bishop 
Ranulf,  went  on  until  the  reign  of  Bishop  Richard 
Pauper,  when  the  execution  of  the  Convenit,  an  agree- 
ment, as  has  already  been  mentioned,  by  no  means  satis- 
factory to  the  Prior  and  Convent,  put  an  end  to  them. 

After  the  death,  by  violence,  of  Walcher,  the  first 
Norman  Bishop,  King  William  appointed  to  the  see  of 
Durham  William  of  Saint  Carilef,  Abbot  of  the  Monas- 
tery of  Saint  Vincentius.  Though  brought  up  a  secular 
priest,  he  had  become  a  monk  under  the  Benedictines, 
and  showed  himself  to  be  strongly  averse  to  the  secular 
clergy,  and  inclined  to  the  discipline  and  order  of  the 
monastic  rule,  which  he  had  adopted.  He  found  at 
Durham  the  body  of  Saint  Cuthbert  in  the  charge 
of  canons,  whom  Symeon^  designates  as  not  being 
**  regulares  "  .  .  .  "  nomen  tantum  Canonicorum  haben- 
"  tes,  sed  in  nullo  Canonicorum  regulam  sequentes." 
We  must  remember  that  it  is  a  monk  of  Durham 
who   is    speaking,    and   a  writer,    moreover,    who    was 

1  Hist.  Eccl.  Dimelm.  pp.  220,  224. 


XXVI  PREFACE. 


strongly  prejudiced  in  favour  of  the  body  of  which  he 
was  a  member ;  it  is,  therefore,  probable  that  the  state 
of  things  at  Durham,  on  Carilef's  accession,  was  not  so 
bad  as  is  here  represented.  Symeon  himself  previously 
tells  us  ^  that  Walcher  found  at  Durham  clergy,  imitat- 
ing certain  monastic  customs,  which  they  had  learned 
from  the  traditions  of  their  progenitors,  who  had  been 
brought  up  amongst  the  early  monks,  and  that  he 
taught  them  the  usage  of  the  clerical  order,  to  which  he 
himself  belonged.  But  Walcher,  nevertheless,  placed 
monks  afresh  at  Jarrow  and  Wearmouth,  and  intended 
to  bring  them  to  Durham,  where  he  commenced  the 
requisite  buildings  for  their  accommodation.^  Making 
every  allowance,  therefore,  for  a  prejudiced  statement,  it 
is  likely  that  the  Congregation  of  Saint  Cuthbert  had 
not  only  fallen  from  its  former  severity  of  life  and 
observance,  but  might  be  incapable  of  effectively  adopt- 
ing any  rule  recognised  elsewhere,  and  might  justly  be 
considered  as  ill  fitted  to  have  the  continued  custody  of 
so  valuable  a  charge  as  the  incorrupt  body  of  the  gTeat 
Bernician  Saint,  and  in  consequence  the  status  of  the 
most  important  establishment  of  religious  in  the  diocese. 
We  can  well  understand  how  the  confused  state  of  the 
country,  both  before  and  after  the  conquest  of  England 
by  William,  had  added  to  the  laxity  which  had  gradually 
come  to  prevail  in  many  of  the  English  monasteries,  and 
in  no  place  was  that  influence  more  likely  to  have  been 
felt  than  in  Bernicia,  where  disorder,  and  in  consequence 
poverty  and  crime,  had  been  more  rife  than  in  other  and 
southern  districts.  In  addition  to  any  reasons  arising  from

PEEFACE.  XXVll 


the  lax  condition  of  the  Congregation  of  Saint  Cuthbert, 
Bishop  WilKam  was  a  Benedictine  monk  of  Normandy, 
thoroughly  imbued  with  all  the  feelings  then  so  com- 
mon, and  influenced  by  the  practices  at  that  time  so 
prevalent  in  his  native  country.  A  Norman,  he  must 
have  seen  noble  Benedictine  monasteries  rising  into 
existence  on  every  hand,  established  by  the  energy  of 
the  old  Norse  blood,  engrafted  upon  the  fervid  religious 
sentiment  of  the  older  Gaulish  stock. 

Within  three  years  of  his  accession  to  the  see,  Bishop 
William  of  Saint  Carilef,  in  1083,  after  letters  received 
by  King  William  and  Archbishop  Lanfranc  from  Pope 
Gregory  to  that  effect,  proceeded  to  the  foundation  of  a 
Benedictine  monastery  at  Durham.  In  order  to  do  this, 
he  brought  to  Durham  the  monks,  who  had  not  long 
before  been  replaced  by  Walcher  at  Jarrow  and  Wear- 
mouth,  after  those  ancient  sites  had  lain  desolate  as 
monasteries  for  many  years.  The  reason  assigned  for 
this  transference  is,  that  the  size  of  the  bishopric  was 
too  small  to  admit  of  its  supporting  three  distinct 
monasteries.  A  more  probable  motive  may,  perhaps,  be 
suggested.  Jarrow  and  Wearmouth  had  been  gifted  by 
Bishops  Walcher  and  Wilham  with  considerable  estates 
in  their  own  neighbourhood,  and  it  would,  therefore,  be 
desirable  that  such  lands  should  be  brought  together  for 
the  maintenance  of  one  single  body,  which  the  Bishop 
had  scarcely  the  means  of  otherwise  adequately  endowing, 
in  the  then  desolated  condition  of  the  country,  and  con- 
sistently with  a  due  regard  to  the  future  dignity  of  the 
episcopal  franchise.  By  such  an  union  dangerous  elements 
of  dissension  between  independent  and  contiguous  mon-

asteries  would  l^e  avoided.  The  estates  were,  apparently 
(for  the  most  part  at  least),  those  which  had  belonged  to 
Jarrow  and  Wearmouth  in  their  former  days,  but  were 
now  under  the  control  of  the  Church  of  Durham,  through 
the  grant  of  the  land  between  Tyne  and  Wear,  confirming 
to  the  bishops  all  estates  which  had  been  abandoned  by 
their  ancient  owners,  who  were  unrepresented.  It  does 
not  appear  whether  the  grants  to  the  new  coming  monks 
at  Jarrow  and  Wearmouth  received  the  sanction  of  the 
Congregation.  Whatever  the  facts  may  have  been, 
matters  were,  evidently,  in  such  a  transitional  state  that 
a  total  reconstitution  became  a  necessity. 

Symeon^  tells  us  that  King  William,  having  know- 
ledge of  the  consent  of  Pope  Gregory  to  the  scheme  of 
Bishop  William,  granted  license  for  carrying  it  out,  by  a 
document  witnessed  by  Queen  Matilda,  Archbishop 
Lanfranc,  and  others  of  his  barons.  No  such  charter  of 
William  is  now  in  existence,  nor  does  the  earliest 
cartulary,  which  dates  from  the  beginning  of  the 
thirteenth  century,  contain  a  copy  of  it.  The  King  is 
also  said  to  have  confirmed,  and  that  for  the  second  time, 
"  leges  Sancti  Cuthberti."  This  confirmation  also  does 
not  exist,  either  in  the  original,  or  in  a  copy. 

Immediately  upon  the  arrival  of  the  monks  at  Dur- 
ham, on  Whitsunday,  three  days  after  that  event,  Bishop 
William,  as  we  learn  from  Symeon,^  exhibited  to  the 
people  the  command  of  the  Pope,  and  the  consent  of  the 
King.  Neither  of  these  documents,  both  of  them  of  the 
greatest  importance  to  the  new  monastery,  and  which 
would  naturally   have   been   preserved  with   the  most

PREFACE.  XXIX 


jealous  care,  is  now  in  existence,  and  if  they  had  not 
been  destroyed  previous  to  the  compilation  of  the  earliest 
cartulary,  it  was  not  thought  desirable  to  place  them  on 
record  in  that  transcript. 

For  the  maintenance  and  clothing  of  the  monks, 
Symeon  says  ^  Bishop  William  proceeded  to  sever  certain 
lands,  and  gave  them  to  the  monastery  free  and  quit  of 
service  to  the  Bishop,  and  of  all  custom.  And  he  adds 
what  not  unnaturally  he  might  do,  as  one  of  the  fraternity, 
and  as  living  at  a  time  when  the  monks  were  making 
large  claims,  and  supporting  them  by  means,  which,  to 
speak  the  least  harshly  of  them,  were  of  questionable 
honesty :  "  Antiqua  enim  ipsius  secclesiae  hoc  exigit 
consuetudo,  ut  qui  Deo  coram  Sancti  Cuthberti  corpore 
ministrant,  segregatas  a  terris  Episcopi  suas  habeant." 
This  statement,  as  has  been  already  sho\vn,  is  not  borne 
out  by  those  of  earlier  and  more  disinterested  writers, 
and  cannot  be  considered  as  of  any  great  value,  inasmuch 
as  Sjrmeon  is  not  reporting  what  he  knew  of  his  own 
experience,  but  what  (not  to  accuse  him  of  a  directly 
dishonest  intention)  was  little  more  than  the  legitimate 
creation  of  his  own  wishes. 

King  William,  apparently  at  the  time  of  the  Bishop's 
severance  of  lands,  granted  to  the  monks  Billingham, 
which  he  had,  on  a  former  occasion,  during  the  time  of 
Bishop  Walcher,  restored  to  the  Church,  the  gifts  in  both 
cases  being  stated  rather  specially,^  as  for  the  health  of 
the  King  and  his  sons,  and  for  the  purpose  of  providing 
food  for  those  who  ministered  to  God  and  Saint  Cuth- 
bert.    The  only  charter  as  to  Billingham,  now  existing,  is

one  of  a  King  William  to  Saint  Cuthbert  and  his  monks, 
mentioning  no  former  grant,  couched  in  no  special  terms, 
and  witnessed  by  a  chancellor  of  William  the  Second.^ 

Symeon  immediately  afterwards  says,^  "  Episcopus 
quoqne  aliquantulum  quidem  terras  monachis  largitus 
est,  verumtamen  ut  sine  indigentia  et  penuria  Christo 
servirent,  siifficientes  ad  victum  illorum  ac  vestitum 
terras  eis  una  cum  Eege  ipse  providerat,  et  jamjamque 
daturus  erat ;  sed  ne  id  ad  effectum  perveniret,  primo 
Eegis  ac  postea  Episcopi  mors  impedimento  fuerat."  At 
first  sight  this  seems  to  be  fatal  to  the  authenticity  of  the 
foundation  charters  of  Bishop  AVilliam.  The  evidence  is 
of  the  very  highest  authority,  for  Symeon  is  witnessing 
against  himself,  as  representing  the  body  of  which,  as  a 
monk,  he  was  one,  and  we  cannot,  therefore,  for  a 
moment  suppose  that  he  would  have  related  this  circum- 
stance if  it  had  not  been  true.  What  we  learn  then 
from  the  monks  themselves,  in  the  person  of  Symeon,  is, 
that  Carilef  had  given  them  a  small  quantity  of  land, 
which  he  had  it  in  his  mind,  by  the  leave  or  by  the 
assistance  of  the  king,  to  increase,  had  not  his  death 
stopped  it.  What  we  learn  from  the  alleged  founda- 
tion charters  of  the  Bishop  is,  that  he  endowed  the 
new  monastery  with  very  large  estates  of  land.  But 
the  two  witnesses   are  not,   in  this,  necessarily   incon-

sistent  with  each  other ;  and,  without  further  proof  of 
falsity,  of  which  there  is  however  abundance,  the  circum- 
stance, so  far  (and  so  far  only)  as  to  ancient  Durham 
estates,  is  not  fatal  to  that  charter  commencino^  "  Eo^o," 
in  which  the  Bishop  uses  the  word  tradidi,  a  word  not 
inappropriate  to  the  severance  of  the  old  lands,  supposed 
to  belong  more  to  the  canons  than  to  the  Bishop. 

The  further  proof  alluded  to  must  now  be  entered  into 
more  fully.  The  foundation  charters  of  William  of  Saint 
Carilef,  the  confirming  charters  of  King  William  and  of 
Pope  Gregory,  and  the  attesting  deeds  of  Archbishops 
Lanfranc  of  Canterbury  and  Thomas  of  York,  have  hither- 
to been  regarded  as  the  authentic  and  legal  titles  by  which 
the  Convent  of  Durham  held  their  principal  estates,  and, 
as  such,  documents  of  the  greatest  importance  and  of  the 
deepest  interest.  And,  indeed,  if  they  were  really  what 
they  profess  to  be,  their  claim  to  that  high  consideration 
could  not  be  disputed,  for  they  would  form  a  series  of 
evidences  such  as  is  possessed  by  the  representatives  of 
no  other  body  in  the  kingdom.  That  claim,  however, 
cannot  be  sustained  ;  they  are  unquestionably  forgeries, 
of  an  early  date, indeed,  but,  nevertheless,  neither  executed 
by  the  parties  by  whom  they  were  professedly  delivered, 
nor  belonging  to  the  time  at  which  they  purport  to  have 
been  so  issued.  They  appear  to  be  all  of  one  period, 
possibly  the  production  of  at  least  three  scribes,  and  they 
seem  to  have  been  written  about  the  first  quarter  of  the 
twelfth  century.  Though  false  themselves,  as  professing 
to  be  deeds  of  persons  who  never  executed  them,  it  is 
not  to  be  understood  that  their  contents  are  entirely,  or 
even  in  the  main,  false.    The  lands  and  other  possessions, 


XXXU  PREFACE. 

which  apparently  passed  under  them,  were  to  a  great 
extent  those  abeady  belonging  to  the  monastery,  either 
by  the  severance  of  Carilef,  or  by  genuine  gifts,  some 
simply  handed  over  without  any  attesting  document  of 
the  transfer,  others  having  the  further  strength  a  written 
attestation  of  the  transfer  afforded.  There  were,  probably, 
two  reasons  for  the  fabrication  of  the  charters  in  question : 
the  one  to  provide  written  and  readily  authenticated 
proof  of  ownership  of  estates  to  which,  though  belonging 
to  the  Convent,  there  was  no  book  title ;  the  other,  to 
establish  claims  to  privileges,  to  which  the  monks  had 
no  evidence  of  right,  and  which  were,  probably,  assump- 
tions without  authority.  Amongst  these  last,  the  claim 
of  the  Prior  to  the  first  seat  after  the  Bishop,  and  to  be 
Archdeacon  over  his  own  churches,  seems  to  have  been 
the  most  coveted.  It  is  remarkable  that  Symeon  ^ 
represents  Carilef  as  conferring  on  the  Prior  the  dignity 
and  powers  of  Archdeacon  throughout  the  episcopate,  a 
gift  set  aside  and  abandoned  without  a  struggle,  probably 
through  its  own  inherent  illegality,  as  being  ultra  vires, 
whatever  might  be  alleged  in  favour  of  a  limited 
ofiicialty  jurisdiction  over  the  churches  assigned  to  the 
patronage  of  the  monks. 

The  historical  relation,  depending  upon  the  testimony 
of  Symeon,  a  contemporary  writer,  has  been  considered 
somewhat  in  detail  above.  There  is  no  reason  to  dis- 
credit his  testimony  with  regard  to  these  events,  for, 
apart  from  his  whole  narrative  showing  a  sufiiciently 
honest  desire  for  accuracy,  the  circumstances,  under 
which  he  wrote,  were  such  as  to  prevent  him  from  un-

derstating  ttie  case,  with  regard  to  the  Bishop's  endow- 
ments, or  the  way  in  which  they  were  authenticated. 
Indeed  we  need  not  have  felt  surprise  if  we  had  found 
in  Symeon  an  almost  exact  reproduction  of  the  forged 
charters,  for  there  can  be  no  doubt  whatever  that,  at  the 
time  he  wrote  his  history,  the  Monks  were  putting  forth 
at  least  some  of  the  claims  they  asserted  against  the 
Bishops  of  Durham.  He  was  living  during  the  reign  of 
Bishop  Flambard,  from  whom,  when  dying,  the  Monks 
obtained  the  restitution  of  important  estates,  to  which 
he  had  denied  their  right.  It  is  instructive  to  observe 
that  Staindropshire,  the  most  important  of  these  estates, 
was  alienated  by  them,  at  a  rent  charge  of  4li.,  two 
years  after  their  acquisition,  and  during  the  vacancy  of 
the  see.  The  really  beneficial  possession  of  Blakeston 
also,  another  of  these  estates,  seems  to  have  been  almost 
immediately  regained  by  relations  of  the  grantee  of  the 
repentant  Bishop. 

Taking  then  the  relation  by  Symeon,  of  the  circum- 
stances connected  with  the  foundation  of  the  monastery, 
to  be  true,  we  learn  from  him  that  Bishop  William  never 
completed,  by  the  then  usual  form  of  conveyance,  some 
proposed  transfer  of  estates,  by  arrangement  with  the 
King,  beyond  the  old  lands  he  had  severed,  and  a  small 
quantity  of  land  previously  bestowed  by  himself.  Al- 
though the  first  impression  left  by  Symeon's  language  is 
that  no  regular  conveyance  was  made  to  the  Convent, 
yet  there  is  nothing  to  impeach  the  authenticity  of  some 
certificate  by  the  Bishop,  of  what  he  had  been  able  to 
accomplish,  by  the  severance,  and  by  his  own  gift  of 
lands  purchased.     The  charter  ascribed  to  Bishop  Wil-

XXXIV  PREFACE. 

liam  the  First,  commencing  "  Venerabilibus,"  dated  in 
1093,  and  addressed  to  Archbishop  Lanfranc,  is,  for 
more  reasons  than  one,  false,  but  that  commencing  "  Ego 
Willehnus,"  might,  for  much  of  its  internal  evidence,  be 
genuine.  This  would  refer  especially  to  that  edition  of 
it,  in  a  more  contracted  form,  which  has  been  preserved 
to  us  by  its  entry  in  the  Liber  Vitse  Dunelm.,^  although, 
to  a  great  extent,  it  is  a  mere  duplicate,  in  the  first  per- 
son, of  Symeon's  chapter  Ixi.,  in  the  third.  The  copy  in 
the  Liber  Vitae  omits  the  later  matter  about  the  limits 
of  the  see,  the  relative  rights  of  the  Bishop  and  Prior, 
the  gift  of  divers  churches,  and  the  fatal  termination 
containing  a  date  (1082)  inconsistent  with  the  wit- 
nesses. Any  argument  in  favour  of  the  existing  later 
editions  of  the  "  Ego  "  charter  (could  they  otherwise  be 
sustained),  founded  upon  the  position  that  the  wanting 
parts  might  have  been  omitted  merely  at  the  discretion 
of  a  copyist,  is  stopped  by  the  fact  that  the  early  version 
contains,  in  limitation  of  the  immunities  of  Elvet,  an 
interesting  clause :  "  nisi  forte  maceries  civitatis  sit 
reparanda,  ad  quam  non  majus  quam  de  tot  civitatis 
mercatoribus  opus  ab  eis  exigatur,"  words  which,  for  ob- 
^dous  reasons,  are  wanting  in  the  existing  enlarged  copies. 
The  property  comprised  in  the  edition  entered  in  the 
Liber  Vitse  is,  moreover,  consistent  with  the  history 
by  Symeon.    It  consisted  of  the  following  items.

XXXVl  PREFACE. 

consistent  documents.      No  original   copy  of  the  first 
edition  of  the  "  Ego  "  charter  exists  at  Durham. 

As  far  as  mere  estates  go,  the  additions  to  the  certifi- 
cate are  practically  confined  to  the  churches  in  the  enu- 
merated estates  of  Elvet,  AyclifFe,  Heselden,  and  Dalton, 
and  to  the  churches  of  Howden,  Welton,  Walkington, 
and  Brantingham  in  Yorkshire,  and  to  the  tithes  of  the 
bishop's  demesnes  there.  Howden  and  Welton  were 
estates  which  did  not  belong  to  the  see  of  Durham  until 
a  King  William  granted  them  to  Saint  Cuthbert  and  to 
Bishop  William  I.,  by  separate  charters,  which,  in  the 
Liber  Vitse,  follow  the  certificate,^  and  precede  an  enu- 
meration of  the  ancient  episcopal  estates,  and  those 
which  King  William  11.  gave  to  the  Bishop  in  Allerton- 
shire. 

If  there  was  ever  any  genuine  certificate,  on 
which  the  later  documents  were  founded,  it  has  long 
disappeared.  Probably  it  was  ill  calculated  to  support 
the  claims  of  the  Monks.  It  is  in  favour  of  the  exist- 
ence of  such  a  certificate  that  none  of  the  estates  in 
dispute  between  the  Bishops  and  the  Convent  occur  in 
any  of  the  versions  of  the  "Ego"  charter.  In  the 
"  Venerabilibus  "  charter  some  of  them  are  found,  but, 
singularly  enough,  Staindropshire  is  omitted.  This 
charter  also  professes  to  have  been  granted  by  Bishop 
William  of  Saint  Carilef,  but  is  couched  in  the  plural 
number,  and  there  is  no  word,  such  as  tradidi,  to  tend 
to  reconcile  it  with  Symeon's  history,  and  with  the  old 
condition  of  the  lands.  The  possessions  are  "  possessiones

laicorum  prsedivitum  largione,"  and  those  words  "  Priori 
et  Conventui"  deprive  "  diversis  temporibus "  of  any 
value  in  support  of  the  instrument. 

I  propose  now  to  enumerate  all  the  copies  of  the  so- 
called  foundation  charters,  still  preserved  at  Durham, 
to  print  each  one,  noting  the  variations  between  the 
copies,  to  notice  their  peculiarities  in  regard  to  names 
of  witnesses,  handwriting,  and  seals,  and  after  this,  to 
suo-o-est  a  time  and  a  reason  for  their  fabrication  in  the 
shape  in  which  we  now  find  them.  The  very  multi- 
plicity of  copies  in  itself,  not  to  speak  of  Symeon's 
chapter  Ixi.,  and  the  entry  in  the  Liber  Vitse,  suggests 
fraud. 

It  has  already  been  mentioned  that  the  charter  com- 
mencing "  Ego  Willelmus  "  has  greater  claims  to  repre- 
sent what  may  have  been  a  genuine  diploma,  than  any 
other  of  the  charters  under  consideration,  though  cer- 
tainly in  its  present  form  it  is  clearly  spurious.  I  have 
therefore  printed  it  first.  Two  copies,  both  professing 
to  be  original  documents,  and  having  once  had  the 
attestation  of  what  passed  for  the  seal  of  Bishop  William 
de  Sancto  Carilefo,  still  remain  in  the  Treasury  of  the 
Dean  and  Chapter  of  Durham.  They  are  respectively 
numbered  1""*  1""*  Pontificalium  No.  2.  a.  and  No.  2.  b., 
the  two  foraiing  the  old  1'"'^  1'"*  Pont.  B.  i.  The  first 
one.  No.  2.  a.,  has  been  used  as  the  text,  and  any  dif 
ferences  which  are  found  in  No.  2.  b.  are  placed  within 
brackets,  with  the  addition  of  b.  at  the  end  of  each  such 
passage.  The  copy  2.  a.,  to  which  a  portion  of  the  seal 
is  still  attached,  by  a  parchment  label,  is  well  written  in 
a  tall  hand,  on  a  large  sheet  of  good  parchment,  of  a 


XXXVlll  ■  PKEFACE. 

rather  peculiar  soft  texture,  similar  in  character  to  that 
upon  which  almost  all  the  spurious  documents  are  written. 
The  copy  2.  b.  is  written  more  closely  in  a  squarer  hand, 
upon  a  smaller  sheet  of  similar  parchment.  The  seal  is 
wanting,  though  the  label  by  which  it  was  once  at- 
tached is  still  present.  In  both  copies  the  names  of  the 
witnesses  are  written  continuously  in  the  same  hand, 
and  they  form,  as  it  were,  part  of  the  body  of  the  docu- 
ment.

et  Willelmo,  et  Rodberto  [Roberto  b.]. 

The  evidence  wbicli  the  charter  itself  affords  with 
regard  to  its  authenticity  has  now  to  be  considered. 

Not  to  dwell  upon  the  differences  between  the  two 
copies,  which  may  be  held  to  be  an  argument  equally  in 
favour  of  the  charter  as  against  it,  the  test  of  the  wit- 
nesses will  be  found  to  be  fatal  to  any  claim,  the  docu- 
ment may  put  forth,  to  its  being  even  a  true  statement 
of  any  acts  in  the  year  1082.  The  charter  declares  that 
the  grants  contained  in  it  were  made,  at  the  Council  of 
London,  in  that  year,  in  the  presence  of  certain  persons, 
whose  names  are  subscribed,  as  having  been  present  when 
this  special  act  took  place.  These  persons  must  all  then 
have  been  living  at  the  time  in  question,  and  if  any  one 
of  them  was  then  dead,  the  charter  makes  a  false  state- 
ment, and  cannot  possibly  be  considered  as  authentic. 
AVe  shall  find  that  more  than  one  error  of  this  kind, 
besides  others  equally  fatal  to  the  charter,  exists  amongst 
the  witnesses. 

William  Bishop  of  London  died  in  1075.  There  was 
no  see  at  Sherborne  in  1082  ;  it  had  been  previously 
transferred  to  Salisbury  by  Herman,  who  was  dead  in 
1078,  when  Osmund  became  Bishop.  Walter  Bishop  of 
Hereford  died  in    1079.     The  see  was  removed  from 


xliv  PKEFACE. 

Dorchester  to  Lincoln  in  1078,  and  the  designation  of 
Remigius,  as  Bishop  of  Dorchester  or  Lincoln,  is  in  itself 
a  suspicious  circumstance.  There  was  no  see  at  Norwich 
until  1091,  when  Herbert  (Losinga)  removed  it  from 
Thetford.  Arfastus,  who  was  Bishop  of  Elniham,  trans- 
ferred the  see  to  Thetford  in  1078,  and  therefore  the 
description  of  Herfast,  as  Bishop  of  Elmham  or  Norwdch, 
is  a  false  one,  for  no  see  of  Norwich  was  then  in  exist- 
ence. Peter  removed  the  see  from  Lichfield  to  Chester 
in  1075,  and  therefore  was  not  Bishop  of  Lichfield  in 
1082. 

Amongst  the  Bishops  then  who  professedly  were  pre- 
sent at  the  Council  in  1082,  we  find  that  two,  William 
of  London  and  Herman,  wrongly  called  of  Sherborne, 
had  been  dead  for  some  years.  Besides  these  patent 
errors,  and  the  suspicious  case  of  Dorchester  or  Lincoln, 
there  is  the  placing  of  a  Bishop  at  Norwich  nine  years 
before  it  w^as  made  the  see,  and  the  mention  of  Peter  as 
Bishop  of  Lichfield,  seven  years  after  the  see  had  been 
removed  to  Chester.  So  far  as  the  Bishops  are  con- 
cerned, the  evidence  against  the  authenticity  of  the 
charter  is  more  than  sufiicient. 

The  date  1082  is  manifestly  ^Tong  (if  such  a  term 
can  properly  be  applied  where  all  is  false).  The  Pope's 
letters  were  not  written  until  6th  January  1082-3,  and 
before  that  date  no  foundation  by  Bishop  William  could 
have  taken  place.  The  date  intended  is  no  doubt  1084, 
and  one  copy  of  the  charter  (2.  a.)  inserts  amongst  the 
witnesses  the  notification  that  it  was  executed  in  the 
fourth  year  of  the  Episcopate  of  Bishop  WilHam,  which, 
dating  from  his  consecration,  would  commence  3d  January 


PREFACE.  xlv 

1083-4,  or,  if  from  his  election,  would  commence  9tli 
November  1083. 

If  the  date  of  the  charter  is  to  be  taken  as  1084,  then 
the  statement  that  Bishop  William  established  the  mon- 
astery, amongst  other  pious  uses,  "pro  salute  tam  cor- 
poris quam  animse  Matildis  Reginse,"  is  incorrect,  for  the 
Queen  had  died  Nov.  3,  1083.  Such  a  statement  as  this 
might  not  in  itself  be  sufficient  to  prove  the  falsity  of 
the  document  in  question,  if  the  expression  could  be 
held  to  refer  to  a  condition  after  death,  but,  taken  in 
connexion  with  other  and  stronger  proofs,  it  still  further 
confirms  the  view  that  the  charter  is  a  forged  one. 

The  next  charter,  in  point  of  ostensible  date,  of  Bishop 
William,  is  one  beginning  "  In  nomine  Patris  et  Filii  et 
Spiritus  Sancti,  Amen."  It  was  professedly  executed  at 
AVestminster,  in  the  fourth  year  of  the  Episcopate  of  the 
Bishop,  which  would  be  the  year  of  our  Lord  1083-4. 
It  exists  in  four  copies,  all  purporting  to  be  original  and 
attested  documents,  to  three  of  which  a  pretended  seal 
of  Bishop  William  is  still  attached.  They  differ  to  a 
considerable  extent,  two  of  them,  respectively  classed  as 
ima  imne  p^j^^^  3  j^  ^^^  ^  g  ^^^^  ^^^^  forming  thc  old  1™* 
-j^mae  Pqjj^^  q  j^^  having  no  very  important  variations,  the 
remaining  two,  1™^  1"'""  Pont.  4.  a.  and  4.  b.  (the  two 
forming  the  old  1™*  1"'"^  Pont.  d.  i.),  omitting  a  large 
portion  of  3.  a.  and  3.  b.,  and  containing  other  points  of 
difference.  The  witnesses  are  the  same  in  3.  A.  and  3.  b., 
but  the  witnesses  to  4.  a.  and  4.  b.  differ  not  only  from 
3.  A.  and  3.  B.,  but  also  vary  between  themselves.  The 
two  copies  3.  A.  and  3.  b.  are  written,  each  on  a  large  sheet 
of  parchment ;  in  the  case  of  3.  b.,  of  the  same  nature  as

that  mentioned  above  in  connexion  with  1™^  1™*  Pont. 
2.  A.  and  2.  B.,  in  the  case  of  3.  a.  on  parchment  having 
a  more  glazed  surface.  The  handwriting  is  the  same  in 
both.    It  is  the  long  hand,  the  same  as  that  in  which 

2.  A.  is  written.     The  seal  is  still  attached  to  3.  a.,  and 

3.  B.  has  a  part  of  the  label  left.  The  names  and  crosses 
of  the  witnesses  are  placed,  at  the  bottom  of  each,  in 
four  lines,  written  in  the  same  hand  as  the  body  of  the 
charter,  and  do  not,  as  in  the  case  of  2.  A.  and  2.  B.,  form 
a  continuous  portion  of  the  writing.  The  copies  4.  A. 
and  4.  b.  are  written  on  smaller  sheets  of  parchment,  of 
the  same  soft  nature  as  that  above  mentioned,  and  in  dif- 
ferent hands  from  each  other,  and  from  that  of  3.  a.  and 
3.  B.  The  seal  is  still  attached  to  each.  The  names  and 
crosses  of  the  witnesses  are  at  the  bottom  of  the  charters, 
arranged  in  three  lines  in  the  case  of  4.  A.,  and  in  eight 
in  that  of  4.  B.,  which  is  written  on  a  long  and  narrow 
strip  of  parchment.  The  names  of  the  witnesses,  in  each 
case,  are  written,  either  by  a  different  scribe  from  the 
writer  of  the  body  of  the  document,  or  if  by  the  same 
scribe,  then  in  a  disguised  hand.  Though  the  two  copies 
appear  to  be  written  by  a  different  scribe,  it  is  certain 
that  the  same  person  wrote  the  names  of  the  witnesses 
in  each  case.  His  writing  for  this  purpose  is  most 
peculiar.  It  is  not  exactly  cursive,  but  differs  con- 
siderably from  the  set  hands  of  mediaeval  date,  the  pen 
having  apparently  had  a  rounded  or  sharp  end  (making 
all  the  strokes  of  much  the  same  thickness),  and  not  the 
square  or  diagonal  termination,  which,  like  an  engrossing 
clerk's  pen  of  the  present  day,  forms  a  clear  difference 
between  thick  strokes  and  thin  ones.

lii  PREFACE. 

If  the  authenticity  of  the  above  four  charters  is  tested 
by  the  witnesses,  the  only  discrepancy  which  occurs  is 
in  the  case  of  4.  b.,  where  one  of  the  witnesses  is 
Osmundus,  Bat'  Episcopus.  As  the  see  of  Bath  was  not 
founded  until  1090,  the  entry  is  false,  nor  indeed  was 
Osmund  ever  bishop  of  that  diocese  ;  the  prelate  meant 
is  probably  Osmund,  who  at  the  time  in  question  was 
Bishop  of  Salisbury. 

The  last  alleged  charter  of  Bishop  William  is  that 
commencing  "  Venerabilibus  patribus,"  which  purports 
to  have  been  executed  at  Gloucester  in  the  year  1093. 
It  only  exists  in  one  copy,  numbered  1'"^  1™*  Pont., 
No.  1.  It  is  written  on  a  large  sheet  of  parchment, 
of  the  texture  already  before  alluded  to,  in  the  square 
hand,  and  has  the  seal  attached  by  a  cord  of  green  silk. 
In  addition  to  the  impression  of  a  vesical  seal,  with  the 
usual  figure  of  a  bishop  in  j^ontificaUbus,  in  the  act  of 
benediction,  but  from  a  different  matrix  than  that  which 
produced  the  impression  already  noticed,  there  is  a 
secretum,  the  design  of  which  is  not  now  to  be  deter- 
mined. The  names  of  the  witnesses  are  written  at  the 
bottom  of  the  charter,  in  an  apparently  different  hand 
from  that  of  the  text,  and,  as  in  the  case  of  the  "  Ego 
Willelmus  "  document,  are  written  continuously,  there 
being  no  break  between  them  and  the  body  of  the 
charter.  In  an  early,  but  not  a  coeval,  indorsement  it 
is  designated  as  "  Principalis  carta  Willelmi  Episcopi 
primi."

assensu  multitudinis  cleri  Anglias,  a  Domno  T.  Eboracensi

prassentia  reverendi  Confessoris  Sancti  Cutliberti  minus  honeste 
servientium,  et  multa  alia  qufe  ibi  emendanda  erant,  propter 
scandalum  etiam  occasionis  piee  memorise  Walcheri  Episcopi, 
prsedecessoris  nostri,  quatinus  nobis  et  successoribus  nostris 
de  simili  casu  in  posterum  salubrius  provideremus,  antiquum 
morem  Lindisfarnensis  monasterii  in  ecclesia  Dunelmi  renovare 
euravimus,  ut,  sicut  aliquando  illic,  ita  profecto  modo,  hie 
monasticus  ordo  servaretur.  Ea  propter  monachis  nostri  Epis- 
copatus, de  Gyrue,  scilicet,  et  Weremutha,  hujus  honoris  et 
oneris,  quantum  nostra  intererat,  facultatem  plenam  obtulimus, 
et  omnia  ordini  monastico  competentia,  secundum  situm  loci, 
sufficienter  nos  donaturos  promisimus.  Sed  ipsi  multo  amplius

tentes  desiderio  nostro  inde  nullatenus  adquiescendum  dux- 
enint,  donee  omnes  libertates,  quas  Beatus  Papa  Sanctus 
Gregorius  theologus,  ad  monasteriorum  et  monachorum  quietem 
pertinentes,  ab  Episcopis  minime  violari  decrevit,  et  quas 
Abbates  et  monachi  Lindisfarnensis  monasterii  segregatim  ab 
Episcopo  suo  prius  habuerant,  preesentis  cartse  testimonio  et 
apostolico  scripto  eis  confirmandas  promitteremus.  Nos  itaque 
pro  eorum  sancta  conversatione,  et  monastici  ordinis  reverentia, 
petition!  eorum  annuentes,  illustris  Eegis  Willelmi,  Domini 
mei,  Archiepiscoporum  etiam,  et  Episcoporum,  sed  et  quarum-

The  test  of  the  witnesses  when  applied  to  these  names 
is  fatal.  The  charter  professes  to  have  been  written  in 
1093,  but  Archbishop  Lanfranc,  to  whom,  with  Arch- 
bishop Thomas  of  York,  it  is  addressed,  and  who  is 
made  to  attest  it  with  the  sign  of  the  cross,  was  dead  in 
1089.  Stigand,  Bishop  of  Chichester,  died  in  1087. 
"William,  Bishop  of  Thetford,  died  in  1091,  and  it  is 
probable  that  before  1093,  the  see  had  been  transferred 
from  Thetford  to  Norwich.  Amongst  the  Abbots  occur 
the  names  of  ScoUand  of  Saint  Augustine,  Aelsi  of  Bath, 
and  Turstan  of  Pershore.  According  to  the  Anglo-Saxon 
chronicle,  and  Florence  of  Worcester,  whose  statement 
is  copied  in  the  Northern  Chronicle,  called  that  of 
Symeon,  these  three  died  in  1087.  Out  of  eleven  attest- 
ing archbishops,  bishops,  and  abbots,  six  were  dead  at 
the  time  when  the  charter  affects  to  have  been  executed, 
a  fact  which  in  itself  is  quite  sufficient  to  destroy  any 
claim  made  for  it  to  be  an  authentic  document. 


PREFACE.  Ivii 

The  evidence  afForded  by  the  seals,  and  some  other 
questions,  connected  with  the  authenticity  of  the  char- 
ters of  Bishop  William  the  First,  remain  to  be  considered 
more  fully. 

Two  different  seals  are  attached  to  the  forged  charters, 
but  this  in  itself  is  no  proof  of  their  being  false  ;  that 
will  depend  upon  their  being  inconsistent  in  character 
and  workmanship  with  seals  of  the  time  at  which  the 
documents  profess  to  have  been  executed,  and  upon 
their  being  identical  with  seals  contemporary  with  those  in 
use  at  the  time  when  it  is  supposed  that  they  were  forged. 
English  ecclesiastical  seals  of  the  time  of  Bishop  de 
S.  Carilef  are  so  rare  that  it  is  impossible  to  test  them  by 
a  comparison  with  such,  and  I  shall  therefore  endeavour 
to  show  that  they  are  unlike  the  seals  of  the  immediate 
successors  of  that  Bishop,  and  that  they  are  almost 
identical  with  one  of  the  seals  of  Bishop  William  de  S. 
Barbara. 

It  will  be  necessary  to  give  a  fuller  description  of  the 
seals  of  Bishop  de  S.  Carilef  than  has  already  been  done. 

Impressions  of  the  first  seal,  as  it  might  be  called, 
were  the  documents  genuine,  are  attached  to  l"'""  l™®Pont. 
No.  2.  A.,  3.  A.,  4.  A.,  and  4.  b.  They  are  all  of  white  wax, 
and,  with  the  exception  of  4.  B.,  have  been  varnished  in 
ancient  times.  The  seal  is  dish-shaped  and  vesical  in 
form,  and  has  on  it  a  Bishop  in  pontijicalihus,  in  the  act 
of  benediction,  the  pastoral  staif  being  turned  inwards. 
The  mitre  assumes  somewhat  of  the  appearance  of  two 
horns,  and  has  lappets  attached  to  it  on  each  side.  The 
orfrays  of  the  chasuble  are  ornamented  with  a  pattern, 
apparently  of  very  small  sunk  circles.     The  folds  of  the 


Iviii  PREFACE. 

alb  appear  iu  equal  plaits,  there  being  no  indication  of 
the  limbs  underneath.  A  maniple  is  hanging  on  the  left 
wrist.     The   legend  is  >^  sigillvm   willelmi   dvnel- 

MENSIS  EPISCOPL 

The  second  seal,  which  exists  only  as  attached  to 
-|^ma  -j^mse  p^^^^  -^q  I  ^  ig  ^f  ^^ite  wax,  vamislied.     It  is  of 

the  same  general  character  as  the  first,  but  the  chasu- 
ble has  no  ornament  on  the  orfrays,  and  the  alb  shows 
the  limbs  underneath.  The  legend  is  the  same  as  in  the 
j&rst  seal.  It  has  in  addition  a  secretiim,  apparently  an 
impression  of  a  Roman  gem,  or  an  imitation  of  one,  but 
of  very  poor  execution,  the  device  of  which  is  unintelli- 
gible. It  may  be  well  to  remark  that  the  earliest  genuine 
secretum  on  an  episcopal  seal  of  Durham  is  of  Bishop 
Philip  de  Pictavia,  though  it  is  at  the  same  time  certain 
that  the  seal  in  question,  with  its  secretum,  false  though 
it  may  be,  is  much  earlier  than  the  time  of  Bishop  Philip. 
As  has  already  been  noticed,  this  seal  is  attached  to  the 
charter  by  cords  of  green  silk,  the  others  being  all  by 
labels  of  parchment.  It  is  engraved  in  Surtees'  History 
of  Durham,  Seals,  PI.  i.  fig.  1.  Both  the  seals  have  a 
line  within  the  legend  which  is  wanting  in  the  seal  of 
Bishop  Flambard. 

The  genuine  seals  of  the  early  Bishops  of  Durham  have 
now  to  be  described,  commencing  with  that  of  Bishop 
Flambard.  All  those  which  remain  are  of  white  wax, 
varnished,  attached  to  the  charters  by  parchment  labels, 
and  placed  transversely.  The  seal  is  slightly  dish-shaped, 
and  contains  a  Bishop  in  2^07itijicalibus  in  the  act  of 
benediction.  The  pastoral  staff  is  turned  inwards.  The 
chasuble  tapers  unusually,  and  the  orfrays  are  ornamented 


ruEFACE.  lix 

with  a  pattern  of  small  beads,  the  front  of  it  is  also 
decorated  with  crosses,  having  below  them  a  tressure 
flory.  There  is  no  maniple.  The  folds  of  the  alb  are 
rather  artistically  treated,  and  from  their  nature  prevent 
the  limbs  from  being  seen  through  the  alb.  If  there  is 
a  mitre,  it  is  merely  a  close-fitting  cap.     The  legend  is 

►J<    STGILLVM    RANNVLFI    DVNELMENSIS    EPISCOPI,    the    C 

being  of  the  early  square  form,  the  E  of  both  the  round 
and  square  form.  The  seal  is  engraved,  but  very  inac- 
curately, in  Surtees,  PI.  i.  fig.  2. 

The  seals  which  remain  of  Bishop  Galfrid  Rufus  are 
of  white  wax,  varnished.  The  seal  is  flat,  but  resembles 
that  of  Flambard  in  its  transverse  position,  the  artistic 
treatment  of  the  alb,  the  absence  of  the  maniple,  and 
apparent  want  of  a  mitre,  though  it  is  possible  that 
some  very  plain  cap-like  mitre  may  be  represented  by 
the  round  bushy  appearance  of  the  head.  The  inscrip- 
tion has  the  square  form  of  C  in  Episcopi  but  not  in 
gracia,  and  reads  ►J^  sigillvm  gavfridi  dei  gracia 
DVNELMENSIS  EPISCOPI.  The  seal  is  inaccurately  en- 
graved in  Surtees,  PL  i.  fig.  3. 

For  Bishop  William  de  S.  Barbara  two  seals  appear, 
used  so  closely  together  in  date,  that  if  it  had  not  been 
for  the  preceding  seal  of  Bishop  Galfrid,  it  might  have 
been  difficult  to  state  which  was  the  earlier.  The  diffi- 
culty is  further  increased  by  the  circumstance  that  the 
seal  resembling  Bishop  Galfrid's  is  not  placed  trans- 
versely but  vertically,  whereas  the  other  seal  is,  on  two 
occasions,  placed  transversely,  but  in  one  case  with  the 
attachment  of  silken  cord,  which  does  not  appear  on  the 
seals  of  the  previous  Bishops,  though  it  is  found  of  much 


Ix  PREFACE. 

the  same  quality  on  the  "  Veiierabilibus  "  charter  ascribed 
to  Bishop  William  the  First.  The  first  seal  is  attached 
to  duplicates  of  an  instrument,  dated  1  Kal.  Dec.  1147, 
and  the  interest  of  this  document  is  enhanced  by  the  fact 
that  the  two  parts  are  written  in  different  hands,  one  being 
the  long,  the  other  the  shorter  and  squarer  hand,  fami- 
liar to  us  from  the  forged  charters  of  Bishop  de  S.  Carilef, 
and  both  being  on  the  same  kind  of  parchment  upon 
which  so  many  of  the  forged  charters  are  written.  It  is 
remarkable  that  in  this  instrument  the  question  about  the 
seat  of  the  Prior,  which  is  affected  to  be  disposed  of  by 
the  spurious  charter,  is  treated  as  a  matter  in  dispute, 
to  aid  in  the  settlement  of  which  the  "  seniores  "  of  the 
Bishopric  were  called  as  witnesses,  no  mention  being 
made  of  any  earlier  documents  on  the  subject.  It  is

Suspended  to  this  document  is  the  seal  to  which 
allusion  has  already  been  made.  It  very  closely  re- 
sembles that  of  Bishop  Galfrid,  but  a  maniple  now 
makes  its  appearance,  and  there  is,  though  the  impres- 
sions are  poor,  an  evident  low  horn-shaped  mitre. 

Another  instrument  exists  referring  to  the  same  ques- 
tion, which,  from  the  subject-matter,  the  names  of  the 
persons  concerned,  and  the  witnesses,  appears  to  be  of 
nearly  the  same  date.  The  seal,  however,  is  a  different  one. 
It  is  dish-shaped,  and  much  more  pointed  than  the  first 


Ixii  PREFACE, 

one.  Again  there  is  the  maniple,  and  the  mitre  is  more 
developed  than  in  the  first  seal.  The  square  C  is  now 
wanting.  The  legend  is  *i*  sigillvm  willelmi  dvxel- 
MENSis  EPiscoPi.  The  seal,  which  is  engTaved  in  Sur- 
tees,  PL  I.  fig.  4,  bears  in  every  respect  the  very 
strongest  resemblance  to  the  alleged  seals  of  Bishop 
de  S.  Carilef.  The  document  in  question  is  printed 
from  the  original,  1""*  1™*  Archidiaconalium,  No.  2.

The  same  seal  which  appeal's  on  the  last  printed 
charter  is  also  attached  to  two  documents  almost  dupli- 
cates, purporting  to  be  the  grant  of  Wolsingham,  from 
Bishop  William  de  S.  Barbara  to  the  monastery  of 
Newminster,  and  which  is  addressed  to  the  Prior  and 
Convent  of  Durham,  and  had  of  course  to  be  confirmed 
by  them.  As  the  early  history  of  Wolsingham  is  very 
interesting  in  connexion  with  King  Stephen  s  grant  of 
the  mine  of  Weardale  to  his  relative  Bishop  Hugh,  the 
charter  is  printed  from  the  original,  1™''  2*^*  Pont.  No.  3^'.

To  the  first  printed  and  larger  of  the  copies  tlie  seal 
in  question,  and  that  of  the  confirming  Convent,  are 
attached  by  cords  of  green  silk,  as  has  been  above  re- 
ferred to  in  connexion  with  the  attachment  of  the  seal 
of  the  "  Venerabilibus "  charter  of  Carilef,  which  is  by 
silk  of  a  similar  character.  The  second  and  smaller 
copy  has  the  Bishop's  seal  only  appended  to  it,  in  a 
rough  way,  by  a  cord  of  yellow  silk.  It  is  not  easy  to 
understand  how  it  happens  that  the  two  copies  difier,  or 
why  that  which  has  the  seal  of  the  Convent  attached  to 
it  should  be  amongst  the  Conventual  records.  If  the 
second  copy  had  been  a  mere  duplicate  of  the  larger  one, 
it  might  be  supposed  to  have  been  that  directed  to  the 
Convent  by  the  Bishop  on  his  making  the  grant,  but  the 
difference  between  the  two  seems  to  forbid  that  supposi- 
tion. Both  copies  were  probably  returned  by  the 
Monastery  of  Newminster,  on  their  exchanging  Wolsing- 
ham  for  Chop  well,  during  the  Episcopacy  of  Bishop  Hugh 
de  Puteaco,  though  they  might  then  naturally  have  been 
expected  to  have  been  amongst  the  Episcopal  muni- 
ments. It  may  be  that  the  Convent  received  them  as 
their  justification  for  confirming  the  grant  of  Chopwell. 
This  difficulty,  and  the  peculiar  workmanship  of  the 
seal,  which  is  inferior  to  those  immediately  preceding 
and  following  it,  might  raise  suspicions  as  to  its  genuine- 
ness, did  it  not  occur  on  other  documents  (relating  to 
Yorkshire  estates),  which  are  beyond  impeachment,  and 
were  it  not  that  the   Convent  had  no  very  apparent

reason  for  tampering  with  charters  relative  to  the 
episcopal  possessions  at  Wolsingham.  Whatever  the 
character  of  the  seal  may  be,  those  attached  to  the 
spurious  charters  of  Bishop  de  S.  Carilef  closely  agree 
with  it,  in  style  and  workmanship,  and  were  probably 
engraved  by  the  same  hand.  Thus  both  seals  and  hand- 
writing synchronize  with  a  dispute  about  a  matter  of 
ecclesiastical  precedence,  which  it  was  desirable  to  set  at 
rest  by  new  evidences  of  title,  found,  it  is  submitted, 
in  the  forged  charters  so  often  referred  to. 

Another  series  of  documents  which  may  be  called 
foundation  charters  comprises  four  of  King  William  the 
First,  all  of  which  will  be  found  to  be  spurious.  Of 
these,  three  still  exist  in  what  were  intended  to  pass  for 
originals,  the  fourth  is  found  in  Cartuarium  Vetus, 
written  about  the  commencement  of  the  thirteenth  cen- 
tury, and  also  in  Cartuarium  primum. 

The  charter  which  is  first  printed  (l™''  1™*  Regalium, 
No.  1),  is,  to  some  extent,  a  duplicate  of  that  which  is 
printed  next  in  succession  {l^^  1'"^  Reg.,  No.  11).  It 
professes  to  have  been  executed  before  the  establishment 
of  the  monks  at  Durham,  and  sanctions  the  removal  of 
the  secular  canons,  in  anticipation  of  that  event.  Like 
No.  11,  it  is  declared  to  have  been  made  at  Westminster, 
in  the  eighteenth  year  of  King  William  (1084).  It  is 
written  on  a  long  strip  of  parchment,  of  a  different 
nature  from  that  upon  which  the  charters  of  Bishop 
William  are  engrossed.  The  handwriting  is  apparently 
the  same  as  that  in  which  1'"*  l'"""  Pont.,  4.  b.  is  written, 
and  there  cannot  be  the  least  doubt  that  the  names  of 
some  of  the  witnesses  are  from  the  hand  of  the  same

scribe  as  those  in  1'"''  1"'*  Pont.,  Nos.  4.  a.  and  4  b.  There 
is  no  seal  now  remaining,  but  the  parchment  label,  to 
which  it  was  once  attached,  is  still  left.  The  names  of 
the  witnesses  are  placed  at  the  bottom  of  the  document, 
in  six  rows.  They  appear  to  be  written  by  two  or  even 
more  different  persons,  and  if  they  are  due  to  the  same 
hand,  the  scribe  has  designedly  altered  his  writing, 
apparently  with  the  object  of  making  it  seem  as  though 
some  of  the  witnesses  had  not  only  affixed  the  mark  of 
the  cross,  but  had  further  attested  the  document  by  the 
testimony  of  their  own  handwriting.

The  next  charter  (l"'"^  1"^"'  Reg.,  No.  11)  is  written 
upon  a  long  strip  of  parchment,  similar  both  in  shape 
and  nature  of  material,  to  that  upon  which  the  last 
noticed  one  is  engrossed.  The  handwriting,  though  in 
general  character  much  like  that  of  No.  1,  appears  to  be 
the  work  of  a  different  scribe.  No  seal  is  now  left,  but 
part  of  the  label,  to  which  it  was  once  attached,  still 
remains.  The  names  of  the  witnesses  are  written  con- 
tinuously, and  are  in  the  same  handwriting  as  the  body 
of  the  document.

quos  prius  habuerant.  Volo  eciam  et  prsecipio  ut,  sicut  tempore 
Beati  Cuthberti,  qui  Episcopus  et  Prior  fuit,  ut  omnes  Priores

vicarios  suos,  presbiteros,  libere  et  quiete  constituant,  qui

monachis  per  omnia  intendentes  existant,  ut  redditus  suos 
quantum  potuerint  semper  de  eis  augeant  et  accrescant.  Prae^

honorifice  teneant,  et  absque  omni  Episcopi  exactione  vel  per-

Concedo  eciam  eis  et  coufirmo  quicquid  Episcopus  Willelmus 
de  Episcopatu  suo  monachis  dedit,  in  terris,  et  aquis,  villis,  et

It  will  be  remarked  that  William  is  described  as  Rex 
Anglise,  and  though  this,  perhaps,  might  not  be  con- 
sidered as  sufficient  in  itself  to  invalidate  the  genuine- 
ness of  the  charter,  it  is,  nevertheless,  so  contrary  to  the 
style  of  the  undoubted  documents  of  that  King,  as  to 
weigh  considerably  against  it. 

The  third  charter  of  Kino-  "William  exists  in  two 
documents,  which  differ  in  some  trifling  matters  of  spell- 
ing, and  in  one  (2.  b.)  having  a  witness,  whose  name  is 
wanting  in  the  other.  They  are  numbered  1"*  1™*  I^cg., 
No.  2.  A.  and  2.  B.  The  latter  has  been  taken  as  the  text, 
the  difierences  in  2.  A.  being  noted  where  they  occur. 
The  copy  2.  b.  is  written  on  a  small  square  piece  of 
parchment,  of  the  same  nature  as  that  akeady  mentioned 
as  characterizing  the  charters  of  Bishop  William.  The 
handwriting  is  small,  of  the  long  form,  and  seems  to  be 
the  work  of  a  diflferent  scribe  from  any  of  those  hitherto 
noticed,  but  the  names  of  the  witnesses  have,  on  the 
whole,  very  much  the  same  appearance,  though  there 
are  minute  variations,  as  those  in  l™"^  1"'®  Pont.,  4.  A.  and 
4.  b.  They  are  written  in  four  columns.  The  seal  now 
attached  to  the  document,  by  a  label  of  green  silk 
threads,  is  a  fragmentary  one  of  the  great  seal  of 
Henry  ii. 


Ixxii  PKEFACE. 

The  copy  2.  A.  is  of  a  much  later  date  than  any  of 
those  ab?eady  mentioned,  and  cannot  be  earlier  than  the 
end  of  the  twelfth  century.  It  has  for  the  seal  a  portion 
of  that  of  Bertram,  Prior  of  Durham  (1189-1209),  exhi- 
biting a  seated  figure  reading.

The  name  of  Herbertus  Episcopus,  as  one  of  the 
witnesses,  is  conclusive  against  the  genuineness  of  the 
charter,  for  during  the  reign  of  King  William  there  was 
only  one  Herbert,  a  bishop,  and  he  did  not  become 
bishop  (of  Thetford)  until  the  year  1091. 

The  last  charter  of  William  is  printed  from  the  copy 
in  Cartuarium  Vetus,  fo.  65,  6.,  compared  with  that  in 
Cart,  primum,  fo.  46,  a.

Two  arcliiepiscopal  documents  remain  to  complete  the 
series  of  the  foundation  charters  of  the  monastery  of 
Durham,  the  one  of  Lanfranc  of  Canterbury,  the  other 
of  Thomas  of  York,  neither  of  which  can  be  substantiated 
as  genuine  instruments. 

The  charter  of  Lanfranc,  l"'"*  1'""^  Archiepiscopalium, 
No.  3,  is  written  upon  a  long  strip  of  parchment,  of  the 
same  nature  as  that  so  often  before  mentioned.  The 
names  of  the  witnesses  are  written  continuously,  at  the 
bottom  of  the  charter,  and  in  the  same  handwriting  as 
the  body  of  the  document.  The  seal  is  gone,  but  the 
label  to  which  it  was  attached,  a  slip  cut  from  the 
parchment,  is  still  there. 

The  charter  of  Thomas,  1'"'"  1"'^  Archiep.,  No.  1,  is 
written  on  a  broad  slip  of  parchment,  of  the  same  texture 
as  that  of  Lanfranc,  and  of  exactly  the  same  width.  The 
names  of  the  witnesses  are  written  continuously,  and 

^  Cart.  prim,  adds  "  eis." 


PREFACE.  IxXV 

are  in  the  same  handwriting  as  the  body  of  the  docu- 
ment. A  portion  of  the  seal,  attached  by  a  label,  cut 
from  the  bottom  of  the  charter,  still  remains.  The  part 
remaining  shows  the  lower  half  of  a  figure,  apparently 
vested  after  the  usual  episcopal  fashion,  and  in  the  act 
of  benediction. 

The  two  charters,  of  Lanfranc  and  Thomas,  are  cer- 
tainly in  the  same  handwriting,  apparently  of  the  scribe 
who  wrote  one  of  the  copies  (!"''•  1™*  Pont.,  4.  A.)  of  the 
deed  of  Bishop  William,  which  commences  "  In  nomine 
Patris  et  Filii  et  Spiritus  Sancti,  Amen.  Quia  rerum 
status."  This  very  fact  is  in  itself  strongly  against  the 
authenticity  of  the  documents,  for  the  charter  of  Lan- 
franc professes  to  have  been  executed  at  London,  that 
of  Thomas  at  York.

insuper,  confirmo,  et  prsecipio,  ut  tam  ipsi  quam  ipsorum  vicarii

dempnetur.  Amen.  Valete.  Teste  Aldredo  Decano,  Diirando 
Archidiacono,  Willelmo  filio  Durandi,  Willelmo  de  Duniu- 
tune,  EanuKo  Tesorario,  Fulco,  Serlone,  Tusti,  Magistro  Siuro,

The  charter  of  Archbishop  Thomas  having  no  date, 
and  the  witnesses  being  persons  of  comparatively  little 
importance,  it  is  not  possible  to  test  the  genuineness  of 
the  document  in  the  way  in  which  the  "Ego"  deed  of 
Bishop  William  was  so  easily  shown  to  be  spurious. 
There  are  other  tests,  however,  w^hich  may  be  applied 
to  it,  and  by  which  it  may  be  shewn  to  be  false,  though 
not  with  that  degree  of  certainty  as  in  a  document  where 
the  date  and  the  witnesses  do  not  accord.  The  subject 
matter  in  itself  is  remarkable,  if  not  strange,  in  its 
character,  and  the  very  wording  begets  suspicion.  The 
miracle  which  is  recorded  in  it,  a  matter  of  the  greatest 
importance,  as  connected  with  the  history  of  the  church 
of  Durham,  is  not  mentioned  either  by  Symeon  or 
Keginald,  an  omission  very  difiS.cult  to  account  for,  if 
the  charter  in  question  had  been  genuine,  and  the  event, 
which  forms  so  prominent  a  feature  in  the  document, 
had  in  consequence  been  well  known  in  the  monastery. 
There  is  also  a  wide  departure  from  the  simplicity  and 
terseness  of  expression  usually  belonging  to  similar 
instruments  of  the  time  when  it  professes  to  have  been 
written,  and  indeed  so  suspicious  is  its  character  that  it 
is  difficult  to  understand  how  it  has  ever  been  accepted 
as  a  genuine  charter  of  Archbishop  Thomas. 

The  whole  of  it  is  found  in  Roger  of  Houeden,  but, 
in  connexion  with  this,  there  is  a  circumstance  which 


IXXX  PREFACE. 

has  a  most  important  bearing  on  the  question  of  its 
authenticity.  Houeden  copies  directly  from  the  Northern 
Chronicle,  known  as  the  Historia  post  Bedam ;  in  fact, 
that  part  of  his  history  is  a  mere  transcript  of  earlier 
writers,  but  the  instrument  is  not  found  in  them.  The 
presumption,  therefore,  is  strong  that  both  story  and 
charter  were  the  products  of  the  period  between  the 
time  of  the  earlier  histories  and  that  of  Houeden. 

In  the  Appendix  to  the  Preface  will  be  found  printed 
(No.  I.)  a  notification  by  King  William  the  Second  of 
an  agreement  between  Bishop  William  de  S.  Carilef  and 
the  Earl  of  Northumberland.  It  is  a  document  of  great 
interest,  and,  under  any  circumstances,  whether  it  is 
authentic  or  not,  it  will  be  found  of  service  in  the  con- 
sideration of  some  of  the  questions  discussed  in  the  pre- 
face. It  has  been  printed  in  the  Eecord  Commissioners' 
edition  of  Rymer's  Foederaj  but  without  the  witnesses, 
and  with  an  erroneous  date.  It  is  written,  in  an  early 
hand,  of  the  commencement  of  the  twelfth  century,  on 
a  short  roll  of  parchment,  which  also  contains  the  charter 
of  Henry  I.,  in  favour  of  Bishop  Rannulf  Flambard, 
touching  Burdene,  Carlentune,  and  Heaclif.  The  names 
of  the  witnesses  have  been  added  after  the  second  docu- 
ment had  been  entered  on  the  roll,  as  if  the  scribe  had 
originally  intended  to  omit  attestations,  after  the  manner 
of  many  cartularies,  and  had  afterwards  regretted 
his  determination.  The  names  added  to  the  agreement 
are  in  the  same  hand  as  that  of  the  rest  of  the  rescript, 
though  of  smaller  size.  They  are  not  inconsistent  with 
each  other,  and,  if  the  original  document  was  genuine, 
it  was  executed  in  1091  or  1092,  and  not  in  1100,  the

date  given  in  the  margin  of  the  Foedera.  It  must  always 
be  remembered  that  even  a  false  instrument  is  of  value, 
as  evidencing  the  opinions  of  its  time,  and  as  shoA\dng 
the  discrepancies  between  the  contents  of  authentic 
muniments  and  the  actual  state  of  things  which  led  to 
the  wdsh  to  suj^port  that  state  by  writings. 

The  pleasant  duty  of  acknowledging  favours  and 
assistance  remains  to  be  fulfilled  by  the  Editor.  His 
thanks  and  those  of  the  Society  are  due  to  the  Dean 
and  Chapter  of  Durham,  for  so  freely  granting  access 
to  the  valuable  series  of  muniments  in  their  possession, 
an  access  which  has  always  been  allowed  to  the  Society 
and  its  Editors,  in  the  most  liberal  manner,  by  that  body. 
Indeed,  but  for  this  free  and  fuU  access  to  the  Chapter 
records,  made  available  to  persons  who,  from  their  local 
knowledge,  were  able  to  use  them  to  the  best  advantage, 
many  of  the  most  valuable  books  issued  by  the  Surtees 
Society  could  not  have  been  produced,  and  the  important 
information  they  give,  concerning  the  history  and  con- 
dition of  what  was  once  the  ancient  kingdom  of  Nor- 
thumbria,  would  have  remained  unknown. 

The  Editor  has  to  acknowledge  his  deepest  obligations 
to  W.  H.  D.  Longstaflfe,  Esq.,  to  whom  he  has  referred 
in  every  case  of  difficulty,  and  always  with  profit.

*  The  grant  by  Algar  to  Doltin, 
son  of  Ughtred,  though  printed  by 
Surtees,  is  so  important,  and  of  such 
interest  in  many  ways,  that  I  have 
thought  it  right  to  print  it  here  in 
full  :— 

Anno  ab  incarnacione  Domini 
m.c.xxxj  tercio  decimo  kal.  Aprilis, 
facta  est  haec  convencio  inter  Algarum 
Priorem  et  monachos  Sancti  Cuth- 
berti  et  Dolfiniim  iilium  Ughtredi, 
scilicet,  quod  Prior  et  Conventus 
concesserunt  Dolfino  et  heredibus 
ejus  Standropam  et  Standropciram, 
cum  omnibus  qufe  ad  eam  pertinent, 
videlicet,  in  villis  et  aquis,  in  silvis 
et  in  planis,  sicut  monachi  eam 
habent,  ea  convencione,  quod  Dol- 
finus  debet  inde  reddere  Sancto  Cuth- 
berto  et  monachis  ejus  unoquoque 
anno  iiij  libras  denariorum  ad  hos 
terminos,  scilicet,  infra  octavum 
apostolorum  Petri  et  Pauli  40s.,  et 
infra  octavaim  Sancti  Cuthberti  men- 
sis  Septembris  40s.,  et  ad  hoc  inveniet 
Priori  et  monachis  salvos  plegios, 
et  si  plegii  incurrerint  per  pecunias 
Dolfinus  a  Priore  constringatur,  quod 
si  j)ecunia  defecerit  in  terra  praxlicta 
per  eandem  terram  constringatur,  et 
per  hoc  non  erunt  plegii  quieti  quin 
reddant  per  hoc  redditum  quern  Dol- 
finus debet  reddere  Sancto  Cuth- 
berto  et  monachis  ejus  :  tenebit  ipse 
et  heredes  ejus  post  enm  Standrojiam 
et  Standropciram  quietam  et  liberam 
de  omnibus  qute  ad  monachos  per- 
tinent, quod  si  Prior  eum  sunimo- 
nierit  per  convenientem  summoni- 
cionem  sicut  suum  tenentem,  et  hoc 
non  sit  contra  Episcopum  vel  suos 


ligios  dominos,  erit  ad  placita  Sancti 
Cuthberti  et  monachorum :  prsdictus 
vero  Doltinus  pro  hac  concessione 
quam  monachi  ei  concesserunt  de- 
venit  homo  iigius  Sancti  Cuthberti 
et  Prioris  et  monachorum,  salva  fide- 
litate  Regis  Angliae  et  Regis  Scocias 
et  Dunelm.  Episcopi  Domini  nostri, 
et  ligiorum  dominorum  suorum,  et 
postea  jiiravit  super  quatuor  Evan- 
gelia  se  fidelitatem  a  modo  Priori 
servaturam  et  monachis  in  omnibus, 
sicut  dominis  suis,  salva  hac  conven- 
cione, et  quod  if)se  non  quereret  vel 
per  artem  vel  per  ingeniiim  aliquod 
nee  per  se  nee  per  aliquem  alium 
unde  Sanctus  Cuthbertus  et  monachi 
illam  terram  vel  servicium  ejusdem

^  This  inventory  wliici,  like  the 
others,  contains  an  account  of  goods 
moveable  as  well  as  immoveable,  is 
imperfect  at  the  commencement  of 
the  roll.     The  portion  which  relates 
to    the    moveable    property    of   the 
Convent  has  not  been  printed,  as  a 
similar   account    has    already    been 
given  in  the   appendix  to  Historise 
Dunelm.  Scriptores  Tres,  p.  cclxxxv. 
2  Norhamshire    and    Islandshire. 
The    possessions   of    the   Prior    and 
Convent    in    these   districts    formed 
part  of  the   ancient  estates  of  the 
monastery,    and    were,    in    all   pro- 
bability,   portions    of    the   land    en- 
joyed by  the  secular  clergy  at  Dur- 
ham, before  the  establishment  of  the 
Benedictines  there  by  Bishop  Wil- 
liam the  First.     They  are  included 
in  the  forged  charters  of  that  prelate. 
The  question  as  to  the  authority  of 
these  earliest  titles  of  the  Prior  and 
Convent  is  fully  considered  in  the 
preface,    and   need   not    be   entered 
upon  here.     Whei'e  in  the  sequel  it 
is  stated  that  any  land  formed  part 
of  the  ancient  estates,  it   must  be 
understood  that  it  was  a  portion  of 


the  original  endowment  of  the  new 
Prior  and  Convent  at  the  time  of  the 
establishment  of  the  monastery,  and 
that,  unless  the  title  is  given,  it  is 
tinkuown  how  it  first  became  the 
separate  property  of  their  prede- 
cessors. 

A  charter  of  Bishop  Ranulph, 
connected  with  jSTorham,  though  it 
has  been  printed  before,  is  given 
again  here  both  from  its  great  in- 
trinsic interest,  as  an  English  docu- 
ment of  a  very  early  period,  and  be- 
cause it  has  never  yet  been  correctly 
printed.

1  Given  to  the  Convent  of  Dur- 
ham by  Walter  de  Insula.  The 
charter  recording  the  grant  is 
printed  p.  3,  «. 

-  The  church  of  St.  Maurice  of 
Ellingham,  with  its  appurtenances, 
was  granted  by  Nicholas  de  Granville 
to  the  Convent  of  Durham.  The 
grant  was  confirmed  by  Mabil  de 
Granville,  the  co-heir  of  her  brother 
William  and  uncle  Nicholas,  and  by 
her  husband,  Ealph  de  Gaugi.  The 
grant  of  Ealph  de  Gaugi  was  con- 
firmed by  William  de  Vesci,  Hugo 
de  Pusat,  Bishop  of  Durham,  and  by 
another  Ealjjh,  his  grandson.  The 
■whole  of  the  charters  connected  with 
this  transaction  are  printed  below. 

Some  account  of  the  descent  of  the 
blood  of  Granville  may  not  be  out  of 
place.  The  first  of  whom  we  have 
any  notice  is  Nicholas  de  Granville, 
who  gave  land  at  Cramliugton  and 
the  church  of  Ellingham  to  the  Con- 
vent of  Durham.  He  died  without 
issue,  and  his  heir  was  William  de 
Granville  (the  son  of  his  brother 
Walter),  -who,  in  llCl,  according  to 
the  Pipe  Eoll  of  Northumberland, 
renders  an  account  of  100s.  "  demil'," 
and  who  gave  Pottereshihera  to  the 
Convent  of  Durham. 

In  1172  Hugo  de  Clinton  (Elinton) 
renders  account  of  30s.  for  escuage 
of  the  fee  that  was  Nicholas  de 
Greinvill's,  and  Alabilia  de  Grein\-ill 
renders  account  of  the  same  sum  for 
escuage  of  the  same  fee.  The  two 
sisters  and  co-heirs  of  William  de 
Granville  had  married  ;  Mabil,  the 
eldest,  Ealph  de  Gaiigy,  and  the 
younger,  Hugh  de  Ellington,  whose 
two  daughters,  according  to  his 
charter  in  the  Liber  Niger  Scaccarii 
Northumbrise,  mamed  Ealph  Baard 


and  Eobert  de  Bulmer.  In  1162, 
Eadulfus  de  Calgi,  no  doubt  the  hus- 
band of  Mabil  de  Granville,  renders 
account  of  40  marcs  for  relief  of  his 
laud,  and  in  1180  ^MabLl  de  Grein- 
vill  and  Ealph  Caugi,  her  son,  render 
an  account  of  5  marcs  for  having 
seizin  of  one  knight's  fee  and  a  half.

an  agreement  concerning  the  moor

venerable  chronicle  Twinlingatun  is 
found  separately.  Hodgson  Hinde, 
in  a  note  on  Twinlingatun,  supposed 
it  to  be  Willington,  in  the  parish  of 
Braneepath.  Two  places,  however, 
seem  to  be  alluded  to,  and  it  is  quite 
possible  that  Twinlingatun,  given 
separately  by  Bernard  the  priest  to 
S.  Cuthbert's  monastery,  may  be 
WHIington  on  the  Tyne.  The  other 
Twinlingtun  was  an  Ejiiscopal  pos- 
session. TheWiUington  of  the  monks 
is  north  of  the  Tyne,  and  is  a  part 
of  the  parish  of  Jarrow  ;  and  if  it  be 
not  the  Twinlingatun  given  by  Ber- 
nard, it  may,  though  not  included 
by  name  amongst  the  aj^pendages  of 
Jarrow  in  Symeon,  have  been  a  part 
of  Walcher's  gift,  and  so  have  come

1  Hugo  de  Pusat,  Bishop  of  Dur- 
ham, sold  a  tract  of  land  along  the 
south  bank  of  the  river  Tyne,  from 


the  head  of  the  bridge  to  Redheugh, 
to  Thurold  of  London.  This  would 
seem  to  represent  the  later  Pijjewell- 
gate.  There  is  no  evidence  to  trace 
the  early  descent  of  the  land,  which, 
no  doubt,  as  population  increased, 
became  much  subdivided.  The  tene- 
ments afterwards  acquired  by  the 
Prior  and  Convent  came  to  them  in 
various  ways  and  through  many  diffe- 
rent channels,  the  evidence  of  which 
exists  in  numerous  instruments  still 
remaining  in  the  treasury  of  the 
church  of  Durham.  To  trace  each 
of  these  singly  unimportant  proper- 
ties would  be  very  tedious,  nor  would 
the  information  obtained  by  that 
process  be  either  sufficiently  interest- 
ing or  valuable  to  repay  the  labour 
of  the  editor  and  the  tedium  of  the 
reader. 

The  charter  of  Bishop  Pudsay 
erecting  Pipewellgate,  and  another 
deed,  from  the  son  of  the  grantee, 
of  land  recovered  from  the  waste,  are 
printed  here.

Gateshead  and  Hillgate  in  Gates- 
head, both  of  which  are  contained  in 
the  Feodarium  under  distinct  heads, 
are  specifically  included  in  the  In- 
ventariuni  of  1446  under  Pipewel- 
gate.  The  tenements  which  the 
Prior  and  Convent  possessed  there 
came  to  them  in  the  same  manner  as 
those  in  Pipewelgate. 

^  Heworth,  Over  and  Nether, 
though  parcels  of  the  parish  of 
Jarrow,  do  not  appear  to  have  passed 
to  the  monks  by  the  grant  of  Bishop 
Walcher,  unless,  as  is  not  probable, 
they  are  represented  by  the  Heathe- 
wurthe,  noted  by  Symeon  as  amongst 
the  appendages  of  the  vill  of  Gyruu, 
in  his  list  of  jilaces  given  by  the 
Bishop  to  the  newly  re-established 
religious  house  at  Jarrow.     In  one  of 


the  spurious  foundation  charters  of 
Durham  Cathedral,  irrespective  of 
other  independent  occurrences  of 
Hethworth  and  Heworth,  side  by 
side,  which  seem  clearly  to  identify 
the  former  with  Hedworth,  we  have 
"  duas  Heworthas  "  preceding  Gyrue 
and  other  places  given  by  Walcher, 
among  which  is  Hethewortha.  This 
shows  the  opinion  of  the  scribe  of 
the  12th  century.  In  connexion 
with  this  it  must,  however,  be  noticed 
that  in  the  Cottonian  MS.  of  Symeon, 
one  of  very  great,  if  not  equal,  autho- 
rity with  that  at  Durham,  from  which 
Bedford  firinted  the  text  of  his  edi- 
tion, the  word  is  Heawurth.  Leland 
also,  in  his  Collectanea,  vol.  i.  p.  382, 
copying  from  a  book,  in  his  time  on 
the  High  Altar  at  Durham,  amongst 
the  appendages  of  Jarrow  mentions 
Henworth,  evidently  Heuworth,  there 
being  no  distinction  in  manixscripts 
between  u  and  ?;. 

If  Heworth  is  not  Symeon's  Heath- 
wurthe,  which  it  is  difficult  to  discon- 
nect from  the  later  Hetheworth  or 
Hedworth,  thei'e  is  no  evidence  to 
show  how  the  viU  came  into  the 
possession  of  the  monks,  unless  in- 
deed, "boscus  de  Hewurth,"  to  be 
presently  referred  to,  is  supposed  to 
be  a  term  sufficiently  large  to  include 
the  later  vills.  The  words  them- 
selves, however,  seem  to  imply  the 
existence  of  a  place  to  which  the 
wood  was  a  neighbour,  and  from 
which  it  got  its  name ;  and  this  must 
have  been  the  feeling  of  the  scribe  of 
the  spurious  charter  already  men- 
tioned, since  he  mentions  "In  Wer- 
hale  totam  terram  in  bosco  et  piano 
juxta  Tynam,  ex  orientali  parte  de 
Mareburn  usque  ad  mare,"  before 
he   comes  to  the  two  Heworths  and

Gyrue  with  Hetheworth  and  other 
places. 

The  first  notice  of  the  wood  in 
question  is  supplied  by  Leland,  Coll. 
vol.  i.  390,  quoting  from  a  confirm- 
ing or  restoring  charter  of  Bishop 
Kanulf  Flambard,  the  original  of 
which  is  not  now  at  Durham,  "  con- 
firmo  eis  Blaikestun  et  Standrop  et 
Standropshiram,  boscum  etiam  de 
Henworth,  ex  orientali  parte  de 
Mareburn  quamdiu  durat  versus 
mare.  Testes,  Gul.  SygiU  et  Gul. 
de  Ponte  Arco."  The  clause  which 
Leland  quotes,  as  from  a  charter  of 
Bishop  Ranulf,  is  found  in  a  confir- 
mation by  Henry  I.,  of  doubtful 
authenticity  (2''«  1""^  Reg.,  4),  two  of 
the  witnesses  to  which  are  Robertus 
de  Sigill'  and  Willehnus  de  Ponte 
Arch'.  Is  it  possible  that  Leland  has 
given  a  wrong  reference,  and  that 
the  charter  he  quotes  is  that  of  King 
Henry  ?  That  the  wood  was  in  the 
hands  of  the  monks  before  Flambard's 
time  is  alleged  in  the  following  char- 
ter of  Bishop  Hugo  de  Pusat.

The  charter  of  Bishop  William  the 
First,  referred  to  in  the  above  great 
claim,  may  have  been  the  forged 
general  charter  still  remaining  in  the 
Treasury  at  Durham,  or,  possibly,  a 
genuine  document,  destroj'ed  at  some 
time  after  the  spurious  instruments 
of  King  William  the  First,  Bishop 
W'illiam  the  First,  and  others,  had 
been  manufactured.  The  following 
grants  by  Bishop  Philip  de  Pictavia 
and  the  confirmation  of  King  John 
refer  to  the  same  estate.  From  the 
terms  of  the  first  of  them,  it  would 
seem  as  if  Bishop  Philip  had  taken  pos- 
session of  the  wood,  quitclaimed  by  his 
predecessor,  and  which  by  the  deed 
in  question  he  restores.  This  circum- 
stance makes  it  probable  that  there 
was  some  uncertainty  as  to  the  title  of 
the  Convent  to  the  estate  in  question, 
and  Bishop  Philip  may  have  asserted 
his  right  to  it  and  made  it  good,  so 
far  at  least  as  obtaining  possession 
of  it  was  concerned.  It  will  be  re- 
membered that  Bishop  Ranulf  Flam- 
bard made  restitution  to  the  Convent 
of  various  estates  which  he  was  said 
to  have  abstracted  from  that  body  ; 
the  same  course  seems  to  have  been 
pursued  by  Bishop  Philip  in  a  lesser 
degree.  It  is  imlikely  that  these  so- 
called  robberies  were  such  in  fact, 
and  an  explanation  may  be  given 
which  woidd  reheve  the  two  bishops 
from  the  imjiutation  of  being  spoilers 
of  the  Church.  In  the  early  times  of 
the  first  bishops  at  Lindisfarne,  and 
later  on  when  the  seat  of  the  Ber- 
nician  Episcopate  was  transferred  to 
Chester  le  Street,  the  land  given  to 
the  Church  and  to  St.  Cuthbert  was 
hardly  distinguishable  as  Episcopal 
and  Monastic,  for  the  intei-ests  of  the 
two  bodies  being  one,  the  estates 
were  the  property  of  the  general 
body,  of  which  the  bishop  and  monks

were  parts.  In  course  of  time  a 
separation  was  made  between  estates 
of  the  see  and  others  given  or  de- 
voted for  the  ministers  of  the  Church ; 
and  eventually  two  entirely  distinct 
corporations  existed,  with  different 
and  at  times  conflicting  interests. 
Under  such  circumstances,  a  certain 
confusion  must  necessarily  have 
arisen  with  regard  to  some  of  the 
estates,  which  had  once  been  the 
common  property  of  the  two,  as  be- 
longing to  St.  Cuthbert ;  and  to 
which,  as  representing  him,  each  cor- 
poration might  assert  a  claim,  and 
not  be  satisfied  with  the  severance 
which  Bishop  William  I.  had  made 
(see  Symeon,  cap.  Ixii).  And  it  is  not 
unlikely  that  in  this  way  the  so-called 
abstractions  of  Bishop  Flambard 
originated,  he  asserting  his  right  to 
laud  which,  though  at  the  time  in 
the  hands  of  the  Convent,  was  not 
held  by  any  title  sufficiently  clear  to 
prevent  him  from  reclaiming  what,  it 
might  be  asserted,  belonged  to  the 
see.  In  judging  as  to  the  merits  of 
the  transactions  between  Bishop 
Flambard  and  the  Convent,  it  must 
not  be  forgotten  that  the  accounts 
we  have  are  all  on  the  one  side,  that 
of  the  monks,  by  whom  any  recla- 
mation of  estates  would  not  un- 
naturally be  regarded  as  robbery.

The  two  folio  wing  documents  throw 
considerable  light  upon  the  estate  of 
the  Prior  and  Convent  at  Heworth  ; 
the  second  one  settles  the  position 
of  Mereburn,  so  often  mentioned  in

causey"  still  form  boundaries  between 
Gateshead  and  the  Heworths,  but  it 
can  never  have  been  more  than  a 
very  small  stream  of  water.

^  Felling  is  an  estate  in  the  town- 
ship of  Heworth,  and  after  its  for- 
feiture by  the  family  of  Selby,  be- 
came the  property  of  the  Surtees 
family,  who  held  it  for  many  gene- 
rations. It  was  taken  out  from  the 
waste  of  Heworth  and  given  to  Walter 
de  Selby  by  the  following  grant  from 
the  Convent  of  Durham.  We  here 
obtain  the  appropriate  name  of 
Blackburn  for  the  eastern  boundary 
of  the  estate,  a  stream  (now  a  mere

The  estate  was  held  in  1605  by 
Robert  Brandling,  according  to  Hut- 
chinson, Hist,  of  Durham,  vol.  ii.  p. 
480,  who,  quoting  from  Pudd's 
MSS.,  gives  the  following  account 
of  his  oath  of  fealty.  Dicto  Roberto 
Brandling  flexis  genibus  sic  dicente. 
"I  do  become  yours  and  the  Chap- 
ter's man  from  this  day  forward  for 
life,  and  member  and  earthly  honour, 
and  to  you  shall  be  faithful  and  loyal, 
and  shall  be  in  faith  to  you  for  the 
lands  which  I  do  clayme  to  hold  of 
you,  saveing  the  faith  I  owe  to  our 
Sovereign  Lord  the  King,  and  to  such 
other  lords  as  I  hold  of." 

^  FoUonsby,  close  to  Heworth,  and 
also  in  the  parish  of  Jarrow,  is  not 
mentioned  by  Symeon.  It  lies  to 
the  south  of  the  Wrekendyke,  which 
ancient  road  jirobably  bounded  the 
enclosed  and  cultivated  lands  at  the 
time  of  Bishop  Walcher's  gift.  At 
some  later  time,  and  not  unlikely 
when  Thorold  obtained  his  grant, 
FoUonsby  appears  to  have  been 
carved  out  of  the  moor,  the  march 
land  between  the  Prior  and  Convent's 
possessions  on  the  north  of  the 
Wrekendyke,  and  the  land  of  the 
Bishop  further  to  the  south.  The 
difficulty  created  by  the  grants  of 
Bishops  Galfrid  and  Hugh  of  an 
estate,  which  belonged  to  the  Prior 
and  Convent,  is  thus  removed,  for,  if 
the  supposition  stated  above  is 
correct,  these  grants  refer  to  the 
boundaries  of  a  new  piece  of  en- 
closed land,   which    bordered    upon

*  Hebburn  is  a  part  of  the  parish 
of  Jarrow,  and  is  mentioned  by 
Symeon,  under  the  form  of  Heabyrm, 


in  his  list  of  places  given  by  Walcher 
to  the  monks. 


the  manors  of  the  Bishop.  The  fact 
that  the  charters,  of  both  the  Bishops, 
particularize  the  boundaries  between 
Follonsby  and  the  adjacent  vills,  is 
in  favour  of  this  view.  The  time 
when  the  new  vill  of  Follonsby  was 
created  must  have  been  between  the 
date  of  the  forged  charter  of  Bishop 
WiUiam  the  First,  and  the  5  John, 
in  whose  confirmatory  charter  of 
that  date  the  place  occurs. 

An  inquisition  was  held  6  Henr.  V., 
13  Bp.  Thomas,  of  the  manor  of 
Follonsby,  alienated  by  Sir  William 
Hylton,  Knt.  to  Sir  Peter  Tyliol, 
Knt.,  wathout  the  Bishop's  license, 
when  John  de  Newton,  Roger  de 
Thornton  and  Thomas  Pittington, 
chaplain,  the  tenants  of  the  manor, 
said  that  it  was  held  of  the  Prior 
and  Convent  in  socage.  The  court 
decreed  "  quod  prEeclictum  manerium 
de  Folanceby  cum  pertinenciis  tene- 
tur  de  Priore  Dunelm.  immediate,  et 
non  de  dicto  Domino  Episcopo  in

which  is  given  here.

therefore,  in  spite  of  the  grant  by 
Bishop  Galfrid,  in  the  position  of 
superior  lord,  and  Thorold  and  his 
family  held  under  them.

Nicholas  de  Folettebi  and  Helias 
his  brother  afterwards  quitclaimed 
the  vill  to  Robert  Fitz  Roger,  who 
gave  it  to  the  Convent  of  Durham  by 
the  following  charter,  which  seema 
to  have  been  unknown  to  Surtees.

It  will  be  remembered  that  Thor- 
old of  London  bought  Pipewellgate 
from  the  Bishoj),  and  it  is  probable 
that  he  also  bought  FoUonsby  of  the 
Prior  and  Convent.  From  the  pre- 
ceding charter  it  seems  that  he 
had  not  paid  for  either  estate,  at 
all  events  in  full,  and,  when  they 
passed  into  the  hands  of  his  son 
Nicholaus,  he  took  upon  himself 
his  father's  debts  to  both  the  Bishop 
and  Convent.  No  grant  of  Pijiewell- 
gate  to  Nicholas  exists,  but  from  the 
wording  of  the  charter  under  con- 
sideration, that  Thorold  was  to  live 
either  at  Gateshead  or  FoUonsby,  as 
he  inclined,  it  appears  likely  that 
his  Gateshead  property  had  equally 
with  that  at  FoUonsby  been  acquired 
by  Nicholas. 

The  vill  was  also  granted  to  the 
same  Nicholas  by  his  brother  "Helias 
filius  Toraldi  de  Novo  Castello  super 
Tynam,  concessu  Bertrami  Prioris  et

Bishop  Hugo  de  Pusat,  by  a  grant 
made  early  in  his  Episcopate,  printed 
p.  10,  v.,  gives  the  vill  to  the  Convent. 
From  the  terms  of  this  charter, 
which  contains  the  boundaries  be- 
tween Follonsby  and  the  Bishop's 
manor  of  Bold  on,  there  can  be  little 
doubt  that  no  primary  grant  was 
made  by  this  instrument,  but  that 
it  was  given,  in  consequence  of  the 
erection  of  the  new  vill  out  of  the 
march  between  the  Bishop  and  the 
Prior  and  Convent,  to  the  latter  as 
the  supreme  lords  of  the  vill,  for  the 
benefit  of  their  siib-feudatory. 

About  the  end  of  the  12th  century 
the  Prior  and  Convent  granted  two 
parcels  of  land  out  of  their  waste  at 
the  Leam.  The  charters  in  connec- 
tion with  this  are  given  below.  The 
district  called  the  Leam  is  partly  in

^  Hedwortb,  there  can  be  little 
doubt,  is  Symeon's  Heathewurthe, 
and,  forming  part  of  the  parish  of 
Jarrow,  fitly  falls  within  the  limits 
of  Walcher's  grant.  It  must  have 
passed  from  the  church  into  lay 
hands  at  a  very  early  period,  for  at 


the  end  of  the  12th  century,  it  was 
in  the  possession  of  a  family,  which 
took  its  name  from  the  place.  The 
treasury  contains  some  charters  at- 
testing the  transfer  of  land  to  the 
Convent  of  Durham,  from  several 
members  of  the  family  of  Hedworth, 
some  of  which  are  here  printed.

^  Simonside,  which  does  not  occur 
in  King  John's  contirmation,  appears 
to  be  the  modern  name  of  the  ancient 
A-ill  of  Preston,  which,  under  the  form 
of  Preostun,  was  given  by  Walcber 
to  the  monks.  From  the  Halmote 
rolls,  which  mention,  in  1442,  viMa,  de 
Sj'mondset  ac  manerium  de  Preston, 
as  demised  in  two  moieties,  it  would 
appear  that  although  the  township 
had  changed  its  name,  the  manor 
house  had  retained  the  ancient  one. 
In  14S9  the  tenants,  in  the  name  of 
all  the  tenants  of  Southwyk,  Full  well, 
Wermouth,  Harton,  and  Wyuestowe, 
took  the  vill  of  SymondsycL  At 
present  Simonside  is  not  considered 
to  exist  as  a  township  in  itself,  but 
is  subdivided  amongst  the  townships 
just  named,  a  circumstance  probably 
to  be  accounted  for  by  this  tenancy 
in  trust,  under  whatever  circum- 
stances that  may  have  arisen. 

It  was  granted  by  the  Convent  to 
Sir  Hugh  de  Morewic  before  1 1 86. 
The  family  of  Morewic  ended  in  three 
co-heiresses,  who  married  respec- 
tively Lumley,  Bulmer,  and  Roseles. 
In  1276  there  was  a  partition  amongst 
the  heiresses.  The  Bulmers  retained 
their  third  of  Preston,  as  mentioned 
in  the  text.     The  other  tsvo-thirds

Sir  Ealph  Lumley  forfeited  his 
estates  for  rebellion  against  Henry 
rv.,  when  it  is  probable  his  two- 
thirds  came  into  the  hands  of  the 
Prior  and  Convent.  At  all  events 
his  son,  Sir  John  Lumley,  by  a  deed, 
dated  April  16,  5  Henry  v.,  quit- 
claimed to  the  Convent  of  Durham 
all  right  and  claim  which  he  had 
in  the  manor  of  Symondsett  and 
Preston ;  the  same  was  also  quit- 
claimed, at  the  same  time,  by  his 
brothers  Wdham,  Sir  George,  and 
Marmaduke.  l'""  o''^ Spec, 27,  28, 29, 
31.  The  Prior  and  Convent  leased 
Buhner's  third,  probably  for  the  more 
convenient  cultivation  of  the  estate. 

Hodgson,  the  historian  of  Xor- 
thumberland,  who  had  local  oppor- 
tunities, as  incumbent  of  Jarrow, 
states  in  Collectanea  Topograpjhica, 
vol.  ii.  p.  4.5: — "Preston,  I  have  al- 
ways understood,  was  situated  on  the 
east  side  of  the  Don,  as  that  stream 
passes  by  the  grounds  of  Hedworth 


and  Monkton.  .  .  .  There  are  grass- 
grown  irregidarities  on  the  surface  of 
the  ground  in  the  fields  adjoining 
the  right  bank  of  the  Don,  nearly 
opposite  to  Jarrow,  which  seem 
plainly  to  point  out  the  site  of  the 
tofts  and  crofts  of  this  old  and  for- 
gotten village." 

1  Jarrow,  the  site  of  an  early  and 
celebrated  religious  house,  the  foun- 
dation of  Benedict  Biscop,  the  home 
of  the  venerable  Bfeda,  naturally 
formed  the  principal  member  of  the 
grant  by  Walcher  to  the  monks, 
who  re-occupied  its  deserted  walls. 
Some  small  portions  of  the  vill  were 
earl  J-  granted  out  by  theConvent,soon 
to  return  again  into  the  hands  of  the 
monks.  One  of  these  transactions  is 
effected  by  the  following  charter.

^  Dalton  occurs  in  ^^thelstan's 
charter  of  South  Wearmouth  and  its 
apjjendages,  all  of  which,  with  the 
exception  of  Dalton,  passed  to  the 
Bishops.  It  had  at  an  earlier  period 
been  given  to  the  monks  at  Wear- 
mouth  by  Witmjer,  as  we  learn  from 
Bteda,  ed.  Smith,  p.  300,  and  pro- 
bably for  that  reason  was  included 
in  some  grant  of  Bishop  William  the 
First  to  the  monks.  It  occurs  in  the 
forged  charter  of  that  Bishop.  The 
following  very  remarkable  document 
relates  to  the  boundaries  between 
Dalton  and  neighbom-ing  vills.

HAWTHOENE. 


Thomas  Dominus  de  Lomley 

^  Hawthorne,  under  the  form  of 
Hagathorne,  was  given  by  Bishop 
Ranulph  Flambarcl  to  William  Fitz 
Ranulf,  with  other  estates,  princi- 
•  pally  at  Hough  all,  Harraton,  and 
Herrington.  Though  considerable 
parts  of  the  vill,  if  not  the  whole  of 
it,  appear  to  have  passed  away  dur- 
ing the  12th  century,  either  by  aliena- 
tion or  by  grants  to  younger  mem- 
bers of  the  family,  the  grandson  of 
the  grantee  of  Bishop  Flambard, 
Robert  Fitz  Thomas,  still  possessed 
at  the  end  of  that  century  some 
interest  there,  though  it  was  pro- 
bably little  more  than  that  of  sujie- 
rior  lord.  The  land  at  Hawthorne, 
which  belonged  to  the  Prior  and 
Convent  of  Durham,  was  given  them 
by  Simon  de  Hawthorn  and  con- 
firmed by  Robert  Fitz  Thomas  by 
the  following  charters.

^  King  ^Ethelstan  gave  to  St. 
Cuthbert,  with  many  other  gifts  in 
land  and  goods,  Sylceswurthe  (Silks. 
worth).  Symeon  of  Durham,  Surt. 
Soc,  p.  149.  It  is  doubtful  from 
the  wording  of  this  charter  whether 
this  grant  was  to  the  bishop  or  the 
monks  ;  if  to  the  latter  the  vill  had 
become  alienated  at  an  early  period, 
for  at  the  beginning  of  the  r2th 
century  it  belonged  to  the  lords  of 
Horden,  the  descendants,  collateral 
or  more  probably  direct,  of  Bishop 
Eanulph  Flambard.  If  the  gift  of 
.5!^thelstan  was  to  the  bishop,  and 
from  its  being  found  in  connexion 
with  such  undoubted  estates  of  his 
as  South  Wearmouth,  Eyhope,  Bur- 
den, etc.,  it  can  scarcely  be  doubted 
that  it  was  so,  then  it  is  probable 
that  Silksworth  formed  part  of 
estates  given  by  Flambard  to  his 
nephew  Eichard,  though  like  Hor- 
den it  is  not  contained  in  any  known 
grant  of  that  bishop.  Be  this,  how- 
ever, as  it  may,  it  was  the  property 
of  Galfrid  Fitz  Eichard,  lord  of 
Horden,  who  gave  at  least  eight 
bovates  of  laud  in  Silksworth  to 
Eoger  de  Epplingdene  (Eppleton),  in 
marriage  with  his  daughter  Emma. 
Towards  the  close  of  the  12th 
century  this  land  was  granted  to 
two  of  the  sons  of  Hamo,  Thomas 
and  Philip  the  vicecomes,  by  Eoger 
de  Epplingdene  and  his  wife  Emma, 
by  the  following  charters.

To  complete  the  series  of  charters 
it  seems  desirable  to  give  the  follow-

possibly,  upon  the  death  of  Alice, 
reverted  to  her  husband,  and  was 
finally  given  to  the  monks  by  him.

^  Moorsley,  in  the  parish  of  Hough- 
ton le  Spring,  and  close  adjoining  to 
Rainton,  was  probably  the  moor  en- 
joyed by  that  vill.  During  the  12th 
century  it  became,  in  some  way  or 
other,  the  property  of  Ilbert  cemen- 
tarius,  whose  son  Adam  gave  back 
to  the  Prior  and  Convent  what  it 
appears,  from  the  rather  obscure 
wording  of  one  of  his  charters,  had 
always  belonged  to  them.  It  is  not 
easy  to  explain  satisfactorily  the 
exact  ownership  of  Ilbert  and  his 
son  in  the  vill,  but  on  the  ■whole  it 
seems  probable  that  it  had  been  only 
leased  to  him  by  the  monks,  though 
his  son  appears  to  have  treated  it 
during  part  of  his  tenure  at  least  as 
held  in  fee.  We  may  sujipose  Ilbert 
to  have  been  employed  upon  the  ex- 
tensive series  of  buildings  then  in 
course  of  erection  at  Durham,  and 
that  he  was  paid  by  some  grant  of 
Moorsley  and  Hardwick,  all  interest 
in  which,  whatever  it  was,  Adam  his 
son,  compelled  by  poverty  or  other- 
wise, surrendered  to  the  Convent. 
The  rock  at  Moorsley  is  the  Mag- 
nesian  limestone,  and  from  the  estate 
possessing  that  material,  it  was  a  tit 
propertj^  for  a  man  like  Ilbert,  who, 
in  his  character  of  mason,  required 
large  q\iantities  of  lime  for  the  works 
going  on  under  his  care.

^  According  to  the  venerable  "His- 
toria  de  S.  Outhberto "  (Symeon  of 
Durham,  Surt.  Soc,  p.  147),  Tilred, 
Abbat  of  Hefresham,  in  the  time  of 
King  Eadward  the  Elder,  bought  a 
vill  called  South  lodene,  of  which 
he  gave  one-half  to  St.  Cuthbert, 
that  he  might  be  a  brother  in  his 
monastery,  the  other  at  North  am, 
that  he  might  be  abbat.  "His  die- 
bus  Elf  red  filius  Birihtulfinci  fugiens 
piratas,  venit  ultra  montes  versus 
occidentem,  et  quassivit  misericor- 
diam  Sancti  Cuthberti  et  episcopi 
Cutheardi,  ut  prsestarent  sibi  aliquas 
terras.  Tunc  episcopus  Cutheardus 
.  .  .  prsestitit  illi  .  .  .  lodene 
australem."  Elfred  was  killed  in 
battle  at  Corbridge,  fighting  against 
king  Regenwald,  who  divided  the 
lands  of  St.  Cuthbert  in  those  parts 
between  Scula  and  Onalafball,  the 
division  taking  place  at  Eden.  I.  c. 
p.  148.  We  have  no  subsequent 
information  as  to  Eden  before  the 
time  of  the  Norman  conquest,  but 
soon  after  that  event  the  vill  is 
found  in  the  possession  of  the  house 
of  Brus  as  part  of  Hartness,  and, 
during  the  pontificate  of  Bishoji 
William  the  Second,  Robert  de  Brus 
gave  to  the  Convent  of  Durham  the 
chapel  at  Eden,  by  a  charter  printed 
below.     A   family   of   the    name  of 


Thorp,  probably  arising  from  a 
neighbouring  hamlet  in  the  jiarish 
of  Easington,  during  the  latter  part 
of  the  1 2th  century,  were  the  owners 
apparently  of  the  greater  part  of  the 
vill,  under  the  house  of  Brus,  as  the 
superior  lord.  The  manor  was  given 
by  Ivo  de  Seton  to  the  Convent  of 
Gisburne.  He  was  the  grandson  of 
William  de  Thorp,  by  the  marriage 
of  his  father  Adam  de  Seton  with 
Matilda,  one  of  the  two  daiighters 
and  co-heirs  of  William  de  Thorp. 

The  manor  of  Castle  Eden  re- 
mained in  the  possession  of  the  Con- 
vent of  Gisburne  until  the  dissolu- 
tion, but  the  Prior  and  Convent  of 
Durham  also  affected  to  have  a 
manor,  and  Eden  occurs  in  the  char- 
ter of  refoundation.  The  principal 
charters  connected  with  the  estate 
of  the  monks  in  Eden  are  jirinted 
below,  and,  so  far  as  is  possible,  in 
what  is  probably  their  order  in  point 
of  date.

1  Newton  Bewley  is  in  the  parish 
of  BilUngham.  Symeon,  in  his  His- 
toria  Ecclesise  Dunhelmeusis,  records 
the  grant  of  Billingham  in  two 
separate  passages. 

"  Nam  et  Billingham  qnam  olim  ab 
Ecgredo  Episcopo  conditam  Sancto 
Cuthberto  diximus,  quam  violentia 
maligaorum  abstulerat,  ijjse  Hex 
[Willelmiis]  secclesise  restituit,  et  pro 
sua  suorumque  filiorum  salute  ad 
victum  in  ipsa  secclesia  Saucto  Cuth- 
bei'to  ministrantium  quietam,  et  ab 
omni  aliorum  consuetudine  liberam 
in  perpetuum  possidendam  donavit." 
Ed.  Bedford,  p.  ]  97. 

"  Atque  ideo  ilex  Willelmus  et 
antea,  sicut  supradictum  est,  et  nunc 
cum  monachi  Dunhelmum  venissent, 
Billingham  cum  suis  appendiciis  ad 
victum  specialiter  eorum  qui  in  ipsa 
aecclesia  Deo  et  Sancto  confessori 
ministrant,  pro  sua  filiorumque  salute 
donavit,"  I.  c.  p.  226. 

Billingham  had  been  originally 
given  by  Bishop  Ecgred,  who  was 
of  noble  blood,  to  Saint  Cuthbert 
early  in  the  ninth  century,  but  it 
does  not  appear  how  it  had  been 
acquired  by  him.  "  Duas  quoque 
villas  Ilechf  et  Wigeclif,  sed  et  Bil- 
lingham in  Heortenesse,  quarum  ipse 
conditor  fuerat,  locis  superioribus 
quae  praidicto  Confessori  donaverat 
perpetuo  possidenda  adjecit."  Sy- 
meon, p.  90.  Late  in  the  same  cen- 
tury it  was  taken  from  the  monks 


by  Ella,  a  Northumbrian  king,  I.  c.  p. 
94,  and  at  the  beginning  of  the 
tenth  century,  Symeon  tells  us  that 
a  certain  pagan  king,  called  Reing- 
wald,  gave  it  with  other  places  to 
Scula,  one  of  his  followers,  I.  c.  p.  126. 
From  this  time  until  its  restoration 
by  King  William  the  First  it  appears 
to  have  been  alienated  from  the 
church. 

^  Wolveston  is  in  the  parish  of 
Billingham.  In  the  grant  from  Earl 
Robert  in  favour  of  Bishop  William 
the  First,  1091  or  1092,  the  first 
vills  in  which  lands  were  quit-claimed 
are  Clacheston  and  Olueston.  This 
charter  has  hitherto  been  imperfectly 
known,  and  only  through  the  me- 
dium of  the  new  edition  of  Bymer's 
Fcedera,  and  it  will  be  printed  in  the 
sequel.  The  possessions  in  the  few 
places  named  in  it  were  probably 
recent  episcojial  purchases,  and  it 
does  not  follow  that  the  vills  men- 
tioned belonged  solely  to  the  bishop, 
or  that  he  had  not  already  made 
grants  in  them  to  the  monastery. 
The  monks  possibly  claimed  part  of 
Wolveston  as  belonging  to  Billing- 
ham. Henry  I.  granted  to  the  Prior 
and  monks,  among  other  estates, 
' '  unam  carrucatam  terrae  in  Wlues- 
tona,  quam  Clibertus  tenet.  Et  hfec 
omnia  eis  concedo,  sicut  Ranulfus 
Episcopus  eas  eis  reddidit  in  vita  sua, 
quas  ante  abstulerat,  et  sicut  eas  eis

I  cannot  trace  the  land  passing 
under  the  following  grant,  but  it  no 
doubt  came  into  the  possession  of 
the  monks  by  one  of  the  numerous 
gifts,  the  evidence  of  w^hich  exists 
in  some  of  the  many  charters  still  re- 
maining in  the  treasury  at  Durham.

From  the  exchange  made  between 
the  monks  and  Richard  the  architect, 
where  the  latter  gave  his  land  in 
Wolveston  for  other  land  at  Pitting- 
ton,  it  would  appear  that  the  Prior 
and  Convent  were  seeking  to  in- 
crease their  estate  at  Wolveston  and 
to  get  the  whole  vill  into  their 
hands ;  the  same  conclusion  seems 
to  be  borne  out  by  the  terms  of  an- 
other grant,  where  the  son  of  Clibert, 
who  probably  took  his  name  from 
Heppeduninthis  township,  exchanges 
his  estate  there  for  one  at  Coken.  I 
first  print  from  what  appears  to  be 
the  draft,  in  which  all  alterations 
and  additions  are  in  the  same  hand,

No  executed  charter  correspond-

probably  rejected,  and  the  whole

transaction  appears  to  have  been

^  BeUasis  is  a  moated  manor-house 
in  the  township  of  Billingham.  The 
pedigrees  of  the  family  of  the  same 
name  quote  a  deed  of  confinnation  of 
the  town  of  BeUasis,  sealed  with  the 
effigy  of  a  man  on  horseback,  and 
witnessed  by  Richard  Vavasor  and 
Malg.  Vavasor,  from  William  de 
Belasis  to  William,  son  of  Robert. 
It  is  assumed  that  the  grantee  was 
also  a  Belasis,  and  that  a  descendant 
exchanged  the  manor  for  that  of 
Henknoll.  All  that  we  know  of 
the  possessions  of  the  family  in  the 
neighbourhood  is  that  they  had  some 
lands  and  services  in  Wolveston,  of 
sufficient  consequence  to  induce  the 
Convent,  in  1380,  to  exchange  Henk- 
noll for  them.  The  deed  of  exchange 
is  printed  in  Surtees,  iii.  148.  Bel- 
lasis  was  in  the  actual  possession  of 
the  Prior  and  Convent  long  before 
that  time.  Henknoll  occurs  in  Bol- 
don  Buke,  and  must  have  been  a 
mere  purchase  by  the  Convent  for 
the  purpose  of  exchange.

^  Billingham.  The  history  of  this 
place  has  been  sufficiently  elucidated 
by  the  notes  under  the  mention  of 
its  aj^pendages.  A  great  number  of 
small  estates  in  it  had  arisen  at  an 
early  period,  which  were  gradually 
united  by  the  Convent  to  their 
demesnes.  The  documentary  evi- 
dences of  these  transactions  are  not 
worth  detailing. 

2  The  small  estate  in  Fishbum, 
belonging  to  the  Convent,  appears  to 
have  come  to  them  after  the  Statute 
of  Mortmain  was  in  force.  The  only 
charters  in  the  treasury  at  Durham 
are  a  grant,  in  1-154,  by  John  Hamj)- 
sterley  of  Brauncepath,  son  of  John 
Hampsterley,  brother  of  John  Hamp- 
sterley  of  Fishbum,  to  John  Hag- 
gerston  and  John  Wermouth,  chap- 
lains, of  a  messuage,  with  a  garden, 
a  dovecote,  and  eight  acres  of  lantl, 
to  wit  7^  acres  of  arable  and  half  an 
acre  of  meadow,  in  the  vill  of  Fish- 
burne ;  and  a  quit-claim,  in  1459, 
from  Wermouth  to  Haggerston  of 
this  land  at  Fishburne,  together 
with   other    land   in    Durham    and 


Acley,  which  he  held  conjointly 
with  him.  (S""  10'"'^  Sjxc,  36,  38.) 
It  is  probable  that  they  were  merely 
trustees  for  the  Convent,  and  in  this 
way  the  Statute  of  Mortmain  was 
evaded ;  and  thus,  in  spite  of  legal 
enactments  to  the  contrary,  land  to 
some  extent  still  continued  to  accrue 
to  the  monastic  bodies. 

^  Claxton  was  quit-claimed  to 
Bishop  "William  the  First  by  Eobert, 
Earl  of  Northumberland,  and  was  no 
part  of  the  Convent  estate.  It  will 
be  observed  from  the  Feodarium,  p. 
26,  ?;.,  that  some  of  the  land  belonged 
to  a  chapel  in  Billinghamshire,  out- 
side the  vill  of  Claxton,  and  that 
the  remainder  was  situated  in  Wol- 
viston,  but  that  the  Convent  had  a 
power  of  distress  over  the  whole 
Claxton  estate  for  the  rents  of  10s. 

*  Blakiston,  in  the  parish  of  Nor- 
ton, was  part  of  the  ancient  estate  of 
the  monks,  and,  under  the  form  of 
Blaichestun,  is  included  in  one  of 
the  forged  charters  of  Bishop  William 
the  First.  It  was  among  the  estates 
which  Bishox)  Pianulph  Flambard  is

Convent  and  granted  to  his  nephew, 
Richard,  which  gift  was  contirmed 
by  Henry  the  First,  but  it  is  included 
in  Flambard's  charter  of  restitution, 
here  printed.

the  following  terms.

Bishop  Ranulph's  nephew  Richard, 
however,  does  not  appear  to  have 
acquiesced  in  the  restitution,  for  King 
Henry  the  First,  notwithstanding 
his  former  confirmation  to  Richard, 
addresses  the  following  letter,  espe- 
cially ordering  Blakiston  to  be  made 
secure  to  the  Convent.

lowing charters,  and  that  of  Robert

^  Burdon,  in  the  parish  of  Haugh-

cluded in  King  Henry  the  First's  char- 
ter to  Bishop  Flamliard,  with  Heaclif 
and  Carlton,  Hist.  Dun.  Script.  Tres, 
p.  xxxij.,  but  it  was  restored  by  that 
prelate  to  the  Convent  as  an  abs- 
tracted possession.     The  restitution 


charter  (printed  p.  145,  7i.)  was  con- 
firmed by  Henry  I.  in  the  charter 
printed  p.  145, «.  Soon  afterwards  the 
vill  was  in  the  possession  of  Acharias 
son  of  Copsi,  by  whose  son  Roger  it 
was  alienated,  and  it  ultimately  re- 
turned to  the  monks.  The  charters

Roger  son  of  Acharias,  are  very

In  a  charter  having  the  same  wit-

conveys  to  William  Brito  the  whole 
vill,  without  any  exception,  "totam

William  Brito  afterwards  granted 
to  the  Convent  his  whole  estate  in 
Burdun  by  the  foUowing  unattested 
instrument,  which  is  the  o:dy  evi- 
dence remaining  of  the  transaction.

This  gift  was  confirmed  by  Eoger

having  as  ■witnesses,  Johannes  de

The  Convent  of  Durham  bound 
itself  by  an  instrument  printed  below 
to  maintain  two  chaplains  to  cele- 
brate for  the  souls  of  William  Brito 
and  his  wife.

The  following  instrument  appears 
to  have  been  made  to  insure  the 
carrying  out  the  provisions  of  the 
above  agreement. 

E.  Prior  Dunelm.  ecclesiae  et  Con- 
ventus  .  .  .  Willelmo  Brittoni  et

The  expression  quam  emimus  does 
not  imply  that  the  Convent  had 
actually  bought  the  vill  of  Eoger 
Fitz  Eoger  de  Burdon,  for  they 
already  had  it  by  grant  from  Wil- 
liam Brito,  who  got  it  from  Eoger 
son  of  Acharis,  the  father  of  Eoger 
the  second.  The  word  purcluise  to 
this  day  technically  means  any 
acquisition  or  confirmation,  other- 
wise than  by  strict  right  of  descent, 
evtn  in  transactions  among  relations. 
Wliat  is  said  here  may  be  illustrated 
by  the  terms  of  Bishop  Stichell's  foun- 
dation of  Gretham  Hospital,  which 
he  endowed  with  the  manor  of  Gret- 
ham, once  belonging  to  Peter  de 
Montfort,  but  forfeited  to  the  bishop 
on  account  of  rebellion  against  the 
king.  The  Bishop  not  only  ob- 
tained a  confirmation  by  Peter  de 
Montfort,  but  in  his  deed  of  endow-

as  dower  to  her  successive  husbands, 
aud  back  again  to  her  father  on  their

full  account,  the  reader  is  referred

held  the  two  vills,  as  apjjears  from 
a  charter  of  restitution  of  Nigel  de 
Albini,  printed  below ;  and  though 
the  Convent  of  Durham  appears  at 
this  time  to  have  been  the  owner  of 
them,  they  were  held  under  the  earl- 
dom of  Northumberland.  The  char-

Durham,  the  boundaries  between 
his  vill  of  Little  Steintun  and  Kettun. 
There  are  now  two  townships,  called 
Ketton  and  Newton  Ketton.  The 
latter  only  adjoins  Little  Stainton, 
and  in  it  the  village  was  for- 
merly situated.  The  former  con- 
tains the  modern  representative  of 
the  ancient  manerium  and  the  site  of 
the  mill.  Whether  the  two  places 
were  originally  distinct  vills  or  not, 
it  is  plain  that  what  previously  to 
Pusat's  time  had  passed  heneficiaUy 
to  the  monks  by  Bishop  William  the 
First's  ami)lification  of  Aycliffe  by 
"  addita  quadani  villa  nomine  Cat- 
tun  "  (which  he  acquired  from  Mel- 
dred  and  Edmund  son  of  Elstau), 
was   Xewton    Ketton.     The    iirefix 


may  either  have  arisen  from  its  being 
an  addita  villa  or  nova  villa  as  re- 
gards the  parish  of  Aycliffe,  having 
probably  been  sundered  from  an  ad- 
joining parish,  or  a  new  village  ha\^- 
ing  arisen  there  after  the  monks  had 
acqiiired  the  episcopal  manor  of 
Ketton.  Before  that  period  they 
probably  had  a  hall  at  Xewton  Ket- 
ton. The  vettis  vivarium  de  Ketton 
occurs  in  1272. 

The  following  instrument  shews 
that  there  was  some  land  in  dispute 
between  Roger  Bertram,  lord  of 
Stainton,  and  the  Convent.  As  Ket- 
ton and  Stainton  adjoin  each  other, 
it  is,  however,  probable  that  the  land 
in  question  was  a  portion  of  the 
march  between  the  two  ^•ills,  the 
boundaries  of  which  had  not  been, 
up  to  that  time,  strictly  defined.

1  In  1091  or  1092  Robert,  Earl 
of  Northumberland,  quitclaimed  to 
Bishop  William  the  First  "  dimidium 
latrociniietdimidium  fracturaepacis," 
and  any  claim  to  lands  in  Acle, 
Cathon,  etc.  It  does  not  follow  from 
the  nature  of  the  quitclaim  that  these 
places  were  not  the  Aycliffe  and 
Ketton  which  the  Bishop  had  pre- 
viously given  to  the  monks,  but  still 
they  might  be  School-Aycliffe  and 
Ketton  manor  only.  At  the  time  of 
Boldon  Book,  Bishop  Hugo  de  Pusat 
had  purchased  two  carucates  in 
Ketton,  and  he  had  a  manor  house 
and  mill  there.  When  John  granted 
his  charter  of  confirmation,  the 
monks  still  had  only  one  Ketton, 
which  we  know,  from  its  bounding 
upon  the  Staintons,  was  Newton - 
Ketton;  but,  before  1264,  when  the 
Prior  built  a  manor  house,  hall, 
chambers,  and  chapel  (afterwards 
burned  by  the  Scots,  and  renewed) 
at  Ketton,  the  other  Ketton  (or 
episcopal  purchase  at  Ketton)  had 
passed  in  some  way  to  the  monas- 
tery. Latterly,  the  church  has 
again  only  possessed  Newtou-Ket- 
ton,  the  Ketton  Hall  estate  not 
having  been  included  in  Henry  viii.'s 
foundation. 

The  two  following  instruments 
seem  to  refer  to  land  granted  out 
of  the  vill  by  the  Prior  and  Convent, 
and  which  probably  returned  to  tlie 
monks  in  some  way,  the  evidence  of 
which  is  not  now  apparent.

evidence  remaining  amongst  the 
muniments  of  the  Church  of  Dur- 
ham to  show  how  this  estate  came 
into  the  possession  of  the  monks. 
The  name  suggests  that  it  may  have 
been  an  encroachment  by  the  Prior's 
tenants  of  Ayclitfe  upon  the  Bishop's 
neighbouring  moor  of  Heighington.

Collec.  Ed.  1770,  vol.  i.  p.  384,  was 
given  to  St.  Cuthbert  by  Scot,  with 
the  consent  of  his  sons.  In  Bishop 
William  the  First's  forged  charter, 
Scot,  who  is  there  further  designated 
as  the  son  of  Aelstan,  is  said  to  have 
given  Acleia,  with  its  appendages, 
to  the  Saint.

[Collated  with  the  original  roll.] 

The  Convent  had  been  in  posses- 
sion of  land  at  Nun  Stainton  as  early 
as  1265,  in  which  year  they  effected 
two  transactions  relative  to  their 
estate  there.  The  first  was  an  agree- 
ment between  Hugh,  Prior  of  Durham, 
and  Avicia,  Prioress  of  Munktone, 
"  super  quadam  placea  terrre  in  terri- 
torio  de  Stayneston,  in  Stepelaileys, 
per  quara  clamabant  dicti  Prior  et 
Conventus  introitum  suum  et  exitum 
esse  ad  mariscum  de  Esteker  cum 
animalibus  suis."  The  nuns  grant 
free  ingress  and  egress,  and  the 
monks  quit-claim  the  piece  of  land  in 
question.  Cart,  secund.,  fo.  202,  h. 
The  second  transaction,  and  which 
was  probably  the  cause  of  the  first, 
was  an  indenture  by  which  the  Con- 
vent leased  for  ever  to  William,  son 
of  Eudo,  at  an  annual  rent  of  30s., 
"  duas  bovatas  terrse,  quas  Robertus 
filius  Adae  Tusard  ante  de  nobis

sicut  eas  habemus  ex  dono  Rogeri 
de  Biscoptone  .  .  .  l""^'  \2"^  Spec, 
6.  No  grant  from  Roger  de  Biscop- 
tone is  in  existence,  which  can  be 
identified  as  having  reference  to  the 
land  iu  question,  though  he  had  given 
two  oxgangs  in  Little  Stainton  to 
the  house  of  Finchale.  It  is  not  im- 
probable, however,  that  when  the 
Prior  and  Convent  recovered  in  the 
Bishop's  Court  against  the  heirs  of 
Adam  Kirkman  the  land  at  Nun 
Staynton,  the  original  title  may  not 
have  been  delivered  out  of  the  Court 
to  the  Convent. 

In  1392  the  monks  leased  to  the 
Prioress  of  Nun  Monkton  the  whole 
of  their  estate  at  Nun  Stainton  by 
the  following  indenture,  the  terms 
of  which  are  of  a  valuable  and  inter- 
esting nature.

The  public  instrument  referred  to 
above  explains  the  certcs  causce  which 
had  rendered  the  use  of  another  seal 
necessary.  After  referring  to  the 
former  agx'eement  of  1265,  and  to  the

^  Chilton,  in  the  parish  of  Merring- 
ton,  was  one  of  the  vills  mentioned 
in  the  deed  of  arrangement  between 
the  Earl  of  Northumberland  and 
Bishop  William  the  First.  The 
family  of  Hairun  were  feudatories 
under  the  Bishops  of  Durham,  and 
they  granted  two  oxgangs  to  Mona- 
chus  Cocus,  who,  in  giving  them  to 
the  Prior  and  Convent,  saj's  that  he 
had  held  them  de  eis.  The  service 
had,  in  fact,  iu  the  meantime  passed 
from  the  Hairuns  to  Gikel  de  Smithe- 
tun,  along  with  a  carucate  and 
twenty-four  acres  in  the  same  vill, 
and  he  had  granted  his  whole  pur- 
chase to  the  Convent.  Quit-claims 
by  the  widows  of  Monachus  Cocxis 
and  of  Gikel  de  Smithetun  completed 
the  conventual  title.

^  Fery,  now  Ferryhill,  in  the  parish 
of  Merrington,  in  aU  probability 
came  into  the  possession  of  the 
monks  as  part  of  that  estate.  There 
is,  however,  no  evidence  to  show 
when  that  took  place.  A  name, 
Foregenne,  which  occurs  in  the  Liber 
Vitce,  Surt.  Soc,  p.  57,  as  of  a  place 
given  by  Northman  Eorl  to  St. 
Cuthbert,  may  possibly  represent 
the  later  Fery,  but  there  is  nothing 
beyond  the  similarity  of  the  words, 
with  the  absence  in  Durham  of 
another  place  resembling  Foregenne 
in  name,  to  prove  that  the  same 
place  is  meant.  There  is  a  large 
mass  of  documents  connected  with 
the  vill  and  manor  amongst  the 
miiniments  of  the  Dean  and  Chapter, 
principally  relating  to  transactions 
between  the  Prior  and  Convent  and 
their  tenants.  A  few  seem  to  merit 
being  given  here  from  their  local  or 
other  interest.

On  the  seal  attached  to  the  fol- 
lowing charter,  Matilda  is  described 
as  "  filia  Rogeri  de  Feri."  Her 
father's  seal  has  the  device  of  a  boar, 
her  own  that  of  a  boar's  head,  and 
it  is  possible  that  they  may  refer  to 
a  legend  of  an  enormous  animal  of 
that  kind,  which  is  said  to  have  been 
slain  at  Cleves  Cross  by  Roger  de

^  Merrington  is  part  of  the  ancient 
estate  of  the  monks.  It  is  included 
in  the  forged  charter  of  Bishop  Wil-

of  the  Prior  and  Convent  is  very

^  Hett,  in  the  parisli  of  Merring- 
ton,  came  in  all  probability  with 
that  vill  into  the  possession  of  the 
Convent  of  Durham,  and  was  there- 
fore a  part  of  the  ancient  estate. 
About  the  year  1168  it  was  granted 
by  the  following  charter  to  Hugh, 
son  of  Walter  de  Hett,  the  boundaries 
in  which  point  to  the  creation  of  a 
new  township  to  accompany  the 
village  of  Hett.

Most  of  the  vill  was  regained  by 
the  Convent  through  the  necessities 
of  the  grantor's  heir,  and  the  process 
has  an  interest  sufficient  to  justify 
the  printing  of  the  various  documents 
by  which  it  was  effected.  The  first 
document  shows  the  descent  of  the 
person  from  whom  they  again 
acquired  the  vill  in  possession.

In  1328  the  same  John  de 
Cotiim  conveyed  to  the  Prior  and 
Convent  of  Durham  "  manerium 
meum  de  Edmundbjrres,  cum  advo- 
caoione  ecclesise  dicti  manerii,  vide- 
licet, quicquid  habui  in  dicto  mane-

5"^  Spec,  16.  Bishop  Beaumont  in 
the  same  year  gave  license  to  the 
said  John  de  Cotum  to  convey  the 
same  manor  and  advowson  to  the 
Convent,  the  Statute  of  Mortmain 
notwithstanding.      1""'  3"'^  Pont.,  2. 

Cotum's  instrument,  though  more 
generally  worded  than  Insula's, would 
only  convey  his  two-thirds  of  the 
advowson,  and  their  particular  ma- 
nerium might  well  be  two-thirds 
only  of  the  \'iU.  The  following 
instrument  shows  that  at  the  time 
of  Cotum's  grant  the  Convent  was 
already  in  possession  of  the  other 
third  part  of  the  vill  and  advow- 
son.

^  Heley  was  bought  in  1382  by 
the  Convent  from  John  de  Nevill, 
Dominus  de  Raby,  the  conveyance 
being  from  him  to  William  de  Lau- 
chester,  vicar  of  St.  Oswalds,  Dur- 
ham, and  William  Greystanes,  chap- 
lain, a  transaction  by  which  the 
Statute  of  Mortmain  was  evaded. 
In  1387,  however,  Bishop  Fordham 
granted  license  of  alienation  to  Grey- 
stanes, Lanchester  being  then  dead, 
to  enable  him  to  convey  to  the  Con-

the  Prior  had  in  after  times  his

given  to  the  Convent  by  Bishop 
Nicholas  de  Farnham,  by  a  grant  of 
lands  in  Yvesmosse  and  Milneside  in 
the  parish  of  Witton  Gilbert.  Other

The  estate  only  occurs  in  one  of 
the  spurious  charters  of  Bishop  Wil-

ultra  pontem  Dunelmi "  was  one  of 
the  possessions  restored  by  Bishop 
Ranulph  (■2''«  1""^  Pont.  1),  it  seems  to 
have  been  one  of  those  old  estates, 
the  right  to  which  was  disputed  be- 
tween the  Bishops  and  the  Monks. 
An  attesting  document  as  to  Bishop 
Ranulph's  restitution  will  not  be 
found  out  of  place  here.

The  following  charters  of  Bishop 
Hugo  de  Pusat  refer  to  a  piece  of 
land  upon  which  the  Infirmary,  with- 
out the  gates  of  the  Monastery,  was 
afterwards  built.  Ricardus  Ingenia- 
tor,  who  has  occurred  before  at 
Wolviston,  was  the  architect  under 
whose  superintendence  many  of  the 
Bishop's  buildings  were  erected.

1  Elvet,  a  part  of  which  called 
Elvethalgh  was  afterwards  erected 
into  a  borough,  was  a  portion  of  the 
ancient  estate  of  the  Monks.  It  is 
included  in  a  forged  charter  of  Bishop 
William  the  First.  The  borough  in 
Elvethalgh  was  confirmed  to  the 
Convent  by  Bishop  Hugo  de  Pusat 
in  the  following  charter,  which, 
from  its  wording,  appears  to  have 
been  somewhat  of  the  nature  of  a 
restitution.

Before  the  time  of  the  transfer  to 
the  Convent,  some  part  of  the  estate 
had  passed  to  Emma,  the  sister  of 
Robert  de  Herington  and  aunt  of 
Thomas,  in  marriage  with  Alan,  the 
brother  of  the  Prior.  This  land  was 
afterwards  conveyed  to  Richard  de 
Kelesey  by  Emma  and  her  son  Ber- 
tram, and  confirmed  by  Thomas  de 
Herington.  It  appears  ultimately 
to  have  passed  to  the  Convent  by  a 
quit-claim  of  William,  son  of  Thomas 
Blagrys,  in  1342.  The  various  docu- 
ments connected  with  these  transfers 
are  printed  below.

which  is  not  apparent.  The  charter

Symeon,  in  his  History  of  the  Church

"  Simili  ratione  idem  Rex  (Cnut)  et

dicto  Sancto  donavit."  In  the 
anonjrmous  life  of  St.  Cuthbert  the 
same  fact  is  recorded.  "  Item  Cnut

The  following  instrument  concern- 
ing the  boundaries  between  Elvet 
and  Houghall,  though  it  does  not 
exist  in  the  original,  is  found  in  an 
early  cartulary  of  the  beginning  of 
the  thirteenth  century.  It  is  probable 
that  when  the  manor  of  Houghall 
came  into  the  possession  of  the  Con- 
vent, which  was  also  the  owner  of 
Elvet,  it  was  destroyed  as  being  no 
longer  of  any  use.

^  The  land  possessed  by  the  Prior

Although  the  Convent  of  Durham 
had  a  lease  for  fourteen  years,  in 
1271,  of  the  land  they  had  granted 
to  Robert  Fitz  Richard  de  C'olding- 
ham,  from  Thomas  Fitz  Eichard  de 
Coldingham,  some  descendant  of 
Prior  Bertram's  grantee,  the  princi- 
pal part  of  the  estate  seems  never  to 
have  reverted  to  them.  The  small 
property   they    ultimately    obtained 


there  was  first  leased  to  them  in 
1282  for  fourteen  years,  by  Eobert, 
son  of  Eichard  de  la  Wudehalle,  by 
an  indenture  having  for  witnesses  :

had  previously  leased,  by  the  follow-

quare  debeant  amittere  vitam  vel  membra,  execucio  judicii  fiat

de  feudo  Prioris,  convincatur  de  felonia  vel  nolit  stare  judicio, 
ita  quod  debeat  terram  amittere  per  feloniam,  Episcopus  tenebit 
terram  illius  in  manu  sua  per  unum  annum  et  unum  diem,  et 
de  exitibus  illius  terras  et  catallis  et  wasto  felonis  vel  felonum,  in 
omnibus  Episcopus  habebit  unam  medietatem  et  Prior  aliam  me- 
dietatem,  per  manum  ballivi  Episcopi ;  post  annum  vero  et  diem 
elapsum  Prior  vel  capitalis  dominus  dicti  felonis  liabebit  dictam

illius  bosci,  vocaverunt  ilium  boscum  de  Hewrthe,  cum  alio  quod 
prius  habuerunt  in  illo  manerio.  Eequisitus  de  foresta,  dicit 
quod  certus  est  quod  non  licet  monachis  accipere  in  foresta 
meremium  de  quercu  sine  licencia  Episcopi  vel  ballivorum 
suorum,  siccum  autem,  scilicet,  mortuum  boscum,  bul  et  alnum 
et  salicem  et  virgas  et  necessaria  ad  carucas  capere  possunt,

dicit  pocior  pars  patriae,  quod  nullus  habet  placitnm  de  latro-
