 1920 EARLDOM OF CHESTER 31 On this basis the shares of the other three were : 1. Hugh d'Aubigny received the manor of Barrow-on-Soar (Leicestershire) as his capitate messuagium ; and the following manors in tenanciam : Campden (Gloucestershire), Coventry (Warwickshire), and Olney (Buckinghamshire).^ 2. William de Ferrers and Agnes his wife had the castle and manor of Chartley (Staffordshire) as their capitale messuagium ; and in tenanciam the castle and vill of West Derby (Lancashire), all the lands which Earl Ranulph held between Ribble and Mersey, and the vills of Bugbrooke (Northamptonshire) and Navenby (Lincolnshire). The Lancashire lands included the wapentakes of Leyland, Salford, and West Derby, with the borough of Liverpool and vill of Salford. 3. Ha wise de Quincy took the castle and manor of Boling- broke in Lincolnshire as her capitale messuagium ; and in tenan- ciam all the lands which the earl held in Lindsey and Holland in that county. Of all the above Peter de Rivaulx was ordered to give seisin except the allotment to D'Aubigny, which was to be retained in the king's hand as he was then under age.^ The relief payable to the king on livery of these shares was on the basis of equality for all the four co-heirs, and £50 each was debited on the Fine Roll of 1232^ not only to William de Ferrers and to Ha wise, but also to the earl of Chester. D'Aubigny, being in custody as a minor, was then charged no relief, but in November 1233 (though still imder age) obtained, for the large sum of 2,500 marks, his discharge from the king's custody, and got seisin * of all his brother's lands and also of the allotment made in 1232 in respect of the share of the Chester inheritance, i.e. Barrow, Coventry, &c. He came of age in 1235, when all his castles, &c., were fuUy restored to him. 5 ' On the same day, 22 November, the king confirmed a gift of £30 per annum in land which Earl Ranulph had made to his niece, Coletta, daughter of William d'Aubigny earl of Arundel, for her marriage portion. This was to be derived out of the portion of Ranulph's lands falling to her brother Hugh d'Aubigny, and the king willed it should be in the manor of Leeds, subject to an allowance being made to him in the partition {Col. of Pat. Rolls, 22 November 1232). The manor was to be taken into custody {Excerpta e Rot. Fin., 14 February 1232/3). Seisin of the land of Leeds held by John earl of Lincoln of the king's ballium ordered to be given to D'Aubigny as part of his inheritance (Cal. of Close Rolls, 3 January 1233/4 and 2 June 1234. « Cal. of Close Rolls and Excerpta e Rot.
