It was certainly, between 1141 and 1155, thought to (possibly) belong to the kings of Scotland, being at that, date promised, if rrnl so held, to be granted to Aubrey de Vere, who about 1155 was ennobled as Earl of Oxfohd, thereby indicating that Cambridge was considered as belonging to the said kings. ( b ) " Anno gratis, 1184, obiit Comes Simon dc lluntedun, quo defuncto. Rex reddit comitatum ilium Willielmo, lfegi Scottorum, et ipse statim, coram liege, dedit enmitatum ilium David, fratri suo ;" cm which statement of Hoveden the learned. Vincent remarks "you may ohserve that so soone as he had received it of King Henry he gave it away presently, even while the King was still there, as if be should say before the company parted statim coram Segc, out of hand." ( r ) The King, however, caused the strong castle of Huntingdon to be destroyed. ( d ) " Which Simon had her with all her heritage as the words of the charter import whereby it seems that he was also Earle of Lyncolne." Milles' " Cat. of Honour " [1610]. p. 912. Such, however, does not appear to have been the case. (°) The family of Saint Lis, owing probably to the minority of each successive heir, seemed to have enjoyed an (almost) alternate inheritance of this Earldom with the Royal house of Scotland. (*) He received " the Earldom of Huntingdon with the third pent/ of the county of Cambridge in anno 1190 after the death of Simon Saint Liz the third," writes Brooke, uncontradicted by Vincent. See note " b " next above, as to this transaction which took place probably (not in 1190 but) in 1184. This David was in receipt of this third penny (1205-06), 12 Johu, as appears by the close roll of that year.
