Where's Munchensy?

Legg inn av W David Samuelsen » 07 jan 2006 08:08:01

Where in France is or was Munchensy, if not England

(Hubert de Munchensy of Edwardstone, Suffolk, England about 1065-1100

Searched gazetteers for France already.

Googled, and first 50 hits - all genealogy, not one extolling town's
virtues, tourism or whatever!

Make me wonder about the name "Munchensy"

In Keats-Rohan's "Domesday People", published The Boydell Press in
1999, p. 256, she writes that Hubert de Montecasino, a minor Domesday
tenant-in-chief in Suffolk though an important tenant of Robert Malet,
was a Norman, from Mont-Canisy, Calvados, cant. Douvres-la-Délivrande,
comm. Bénouville. She does not give him a birth date and says he died
as a monk of Abingdon in 1117.

Recte:

He died at Abingdon in the time of Abbot Faritius who died in 1117.
Hence Hubert died by 1117.

Slight correction. Should be Montecanisio rather than Montecasino.

Dissertation on William de Braose

Legg inn av Doug Thompson » 08 jan 2006 00:14:25

Matthew Boulter has recently completed an MA at Sheffield University. As
part of his work he produced a dissertation on the life of William de Braose
(d1211) and has kindly agreed to make it available for others to read via
the Braose website.

I am sure there are many here on soc.gen.med who will be interested to read
it.

You can access his work via the News page of the website. See
