HERBERT OF GLOUCESTER AND HERBERT THE CHAMBERLAIN.

MR. A. S. ELLIS wrote that on the death of iloger de Pistres (father of Walter de loucester) his brother Durand

' gave lands in Westwood, in Erchentield, co. Here- ord, to St. Peter's, Gloucester, for the soul of his >rother Roger. This is in the Survey, therefore made before 1086. Westwood was ' given, 'rather lontirmed, to the monks by Walter de Gloucester or the souls of his father, mother, and brother Herbert." 'Landholders of Gloucestershire in )omesday,' p. 78.

Phe authority given is : " Hist, et Cart. Mon. St. Petri de Glouc., vol. i., p. 118." But the jassage referred to states that Westwood was given by Roger de Gloucester (the son of Durand) :

'Anno Domini millesimo centesimo primo, Elogerus de Gloucestria, pro anima patris sui et natris, et pro anima Herberti fratris sui, dedit Westwode in Jerchenfeld ecclesiae Sancti Petri loucestriae, et duos Rodknyztes, et unam eccle- siam cum una hida terrae, et uno molendino, Willelmo rege juniore confirmante, rege Henrico seniore confirmante, tempore Serlonis abbatis."

The Cartulary does not contain any such harter of Roger de Gloucester, and as Domesday records that Westwood had been given to St. Peter's by Durand for the soul of his brother Roger, this entry in the list of donations appears suspicious ; all the more so because a charter concocted by the monks yields a third story, Westwood being made a gift of Walter de Gloucester for the soul of his father (cp. 12 S. v. 261-2). If the whole entry is not an invention, it may probably confuse two separate acts by Roger de Gloucester, viz. : (1) a confirmation of his father's gift of Westwood, and (2) a gift of two rodknights, &c., for the soul of his brother Herbert, the date applying only to the latter. (If so, were these new grants at Westwood, or where ?) This suggestion may receive some support (quantum valeat) from a charter of Henry I. in the cartulary, which states that Roger's gift was made by the king's permission, but does not mention Westwood :

"Sciatis et terram quam Rogerus de Glouces- tria dedit ecclesiae Sancti Petri de Gloucestria pro anima fratris sui Hereberti, scilicet duos radcnithes, et unam ecclesiam cum una hyda terrae, et unum molendiuum, meo concessu dedisse." Ibid, ii., 18-19.

The construction is defective, but no doubt ' " dedisse " depends on an omitted accusative.
