The principle of an Earl receiving proPt from bis office had, without doubt, fallen into oblivion, just as the idea of Barony by tenure was, a few years later, held to be an anachronism." (*) See ped.of Beanchamp in Baker's *' JVorthatnptonthire," vol. ii, p. 218. (b) <* She is presumett therefore to luive taken the habit of a nun at Cokehill nunnery, which nhe had founded : this supposition is borne out by the will [dat. 7 Jan. 1268/9] of her husband, who names her in conjunction with the church and nuns at C<ikehill." [Courthope («) Hu father tpeaks of him in his will (7 Jan. 1268/9) as *' Willielmus, primogenitus mens, comes Warewioi." (d) See vol. iii, p. 866, note "a,*' eub *< Fits John."
