 FEUDAL BARONAGE Hervey, who held lands in Selfleet temp. Henry II., given by Ranulf de Glan- vill or Henry II. to Butley,^ was probably a younger brother of Hervey II. and father of William Hervey, who held Boxstede in 1 2 1 2, for the service of half a knight's fee of the honour of Lancaster ; ^ which fee continued in his descendants for some generations. In 1158 Hubert Walter, possibly a younger brother of Hervey Walter, rendered account of 40J. of the pleas of Wandelbery in cos. Norfolk and Suffolk." Hervey Walter had issue five sons, Theobald, Hubert, Walter, Roger, and Hamon.* Hubert was born at West Dereham, in Norfolk, where he founded an abbey in 1188. He was educated in the house of his uncle the justiciar, to whom on his ordination he became chaplain.^ In 1186 he was dean of York; in 1 1 89 was elected bishop of Salisbury; and from 1193 to his death in 1205 held the see of Canterbury. His bones were identified in Canterbury Cathedral in 1890.° He joined with his brother Theobald in the gift to the canons of West Dereham of land in Ickleton, co. Cambridge, which Hamon Walter, probably their younger brother, held ; ^ to which foundation Peter Walter, probably another kinsman, also gave a rent out of his mill of Istede. Whilst Ralph fitz Robert of Middleham, co. York, was in his custody, Hubert gave land in Saxthorpe, co. Norfolk, to his brother Theobald ; to recover which Ranulf, brother of Ralph, paid a fine in 1205.* Theobald, the eldest son and heir, inherited his grandfather's estate, as appears by an agreement which he made in the king's court in 1 195 with his kinsman, William Hervey, whereby the latter took half a knight's fee in Boxsted, half a knight's fee in Hulmestead, and the third part of a fee in Belaugh (which Peter Walter held) to hold of Theobald, releasing in return all claim to Theobald's other lands.' Theobald first comes into notice circa 1182 as one of the witnesses with John, the king's son, of Ranulf de Glanvill's charter to Leystone.^" It was probably through the instrumentality of Glanvill that Theobald, in 1185, accompanied John to Ireland. The expedition crossed from Milford Haven to Waterford in the latter part of April, whilst five vessels sailed later from Chester with the ' harnesium ' of those of John's company who had been left behind for lack of transport." Immediately upon landing, Theobald received from John a grant to Glanvill and himself of 5i cantreds in Limerick ;" and the same year with the men of Cork he fought and slew Dermot Mac Arthy." Before 1 189 he received from John the fief 1 Mon. Angl. vi. 380 ; cf. TV/Za de Nevtll (Rec. Com.), 295. 2 Testa de Nevill (Rec. Com.), I jb, ^oSl>.

This fine is interesting as affording evidence by the endorsement which it bears that Hubert Walter and the king's barons of the exchequer at this time introduced the chirograph of a fine in three parts, of which the foot was to be preserved in the Treasury. w Mon.
