 A HISTORY OF LEICESTERSHIRE In SIEFTON [System] the earl of Leicester 12 carucates. 76 In BROKESBYA [Brooksby] the earl of Chester 5 carucates. 77 King David I carucate which Pip(er)d holds. 78 In QUENEBIA [Quenby] 6 carucates of the fee of Belvoir. 79 In THURKETLESTON [Thurcaston] 8 carucates of the fee of the earl (of Leicester). 80 In CROPESTON [Cropston] 4 carucates. 81 In RODELEIA [Rothley] the king's land 5 ca- rucates. 82 HUNDRED OF GREAT DALBY In the same vill the bishop of Lincoln 9 caru- cates and a half. 83 Ralf Basset I carucate and 3 bovates. 84 In the same place William the chamberlain ( ' Gam ' ) i carucate. 85 In FRISEBIA [Frisby on the Wreak] the earl of Chester 3 carucates 86 and (there are) 8 caru- cates of the king's sokeland. 87 In REDERBIA [Rotherby] the earl of Chester 6 carucates. 88 ' 6 Including the 9 carucates held in System by Swegen of Hugh de Grentemaisnil. 77 In Domesday the earl of Chester is assigned 2 carucates in Brooksby as part of Barrow soke. 73 Representing the six bovates held of the Countess Judith in 1086 by Wulfsige ( ' Wlsi ' ). 79 In Domesday Robert de Todeni is assigned z carucates in Quenby ( ' Queneberie ' ) and 5 in 'Croptone' (probably South Croxton). These figures probably include the 6 carucates assigned above to Quenby, for the present survey only accounts for 2 T 3 F carucates in Croxton, which in Domesday are probably included in the assessment ofBarsby. See above under Barkby hundred. 80 Domesday assigns 9 carucates in Thurcaston to Hugh de Grentemaisnil. On the other hand it only assigns 8 carucates to him in the adjoining vill of Birstall as against 9 carucates entered in the present survey as belonging to the Leicester fief (see above, Ashby hundred), so that the combined assessments would be equal in both documents. 61 Cropston is not surveyed by name in Domesday. bl As in Domesday. 83 This represents the 8 carucates with which the bishop is credited in Dalby by Domesday, and probably includes part of the 4. carucates which the latter record assigns to him in South Croxton. 84 Robert de Buci held I carucate in Great Dalby in 1086. "Held by Humfrey the chamberlain in 1086. 86 In Domesday the earl of Chester is assigned 3 caru- cates in Frisby belonging to Barrow soke, and entered in two portions of I carucates each. 87 As in Domesday (Rothley soke). M Domesday assigns only 2 J carucates in Rotherby to the earl of Chester. InAsFORDEBiA [Asfordby] the earl of Leicester 13 carucates. 89 In WARTNADEBY [Wartnaby] 6 carucates of the king's sokeland. 90 HUNDRED OF DALBY ON THE WOLDS In the same vill 9 carucates of the fee of Edward of Salisbury. 91 The earl of Leicester 3 carucates. 92 In GRIMESTONA [Grimston] 3 carucates less I bovate and a half of the king's soke(land).' j3 Richard Basset 3 carucates. 94 In SAXEBIA [Saxelby] the earl of Leicester 5 carucates (land). 96 also I carucate of the king's soke- In SIWALDEBIA [Shoby] the earl of Leicester 6 carucates. 97 In COSINTON [Cossington] the earl of Chester 6 carucates. 98 In HORTON [Hoton] Robert de Jor(z) 2 caru- cates. 99 69 In Domesday Asfordby, assessed at 1 2 carucates, formed part of Rothley soke. It is possible that there is a scribal error in the present MS. (xiii for xii). Henry IPs great charter to Leicester Abbey (Mon. Angl. vi, 467) confirms the whole manor of Asfordby to the monks, but unfortunately does not state the number of carucates at which it was assessed. 90 As in Domesday. 91 Held in 1086 by Robert of Ralf fitz Hubert. Edward of Salisbury's connexion with him has been much discussed ; see Feudal England, 213. "These 3 carucates are not entered separately in Domesday, nor is it easy to account for them among the possessions of Hugh de Grentemaisnil in this part of the county. 93 As in Domesday. 84 Robert de Buci's in 1086. 85 See below, note 97. 96 As in Domesday. 97 ' Siwaldebia ' here represents the ' Seoldesberie ' of Domesday, which is entered as 1 1 carucates as part of the forfeited fief of Earl Aubrey of Northumbria. The 1 1 carucates in question clearly represent the 6 carucates which the present survey assigns to Shoby, together with the 5 carucates with which the earl of Leicester is credited above in the adjoining vill of Saxelby. Earl Aubrey's land in Wanlip had likewise passed to the earl of Leicester. 68 As in Domesday. 89 These 2 carucates clearly torm part of the holding which Robert ' de Lorz ' possessed in Hoton (Holetone) in 1086 as one of the king's Serjeants, but which according to Domesday he held unlawfully (Robertas vi possidct). The present survey contains no entry relat- ing to the 6 carucates in Hoton which Domesday assigns to the earl of Chester as part of the sokeland of Barrow. 348
