Identification of Maritagium of Maud Basset, wife of William

Dear Newsgroup ~

Trevor Foulds in his excellent work, Thurgarton Cartulary (1994), pp.
clii-clviii indicates that Maud Basset, wife of William de Heriz (fl.
1230-1262), of Wiverton, Nottinghamshire, had six marks of land in
Wyndesclive in free marriage by grant of her father, Ralph Basset [of
Drayton Basset, Staffordshire]. Mr. Foulds was unable to identify the
locality named Wyndesclive.

However, Wyndesclive is surely the same place as "Wendlecliva" held by
Maud Basset's grandfather, Ralph Basset, under Henry de Sully, Abbot of
Glastonbury, in 1189 [Reference: N.E. Stacy, ed., Surveys of the
Estates of Glasonbury Abbey, c. 1135-1201 (Records of Social & Economic
History 33) (2001): 208]. In footnote 3 on page 208, Mr. Stacy, the
editor of the above mentioned work on Glastonbury Surveys, identifies
"Wendlecliva" as Kingstone Winslow (in Ashbury), Berkshire:

"This holding in Kingstone Winslow (1/2 mile north of Ashbury church)
corresponds with the 4-1/2 hides held in Ashbury in 1086 by Robert
d'Oilly, many of whose lands descended to Ralph Basset the justiciar:
DB i. 59bi; F. Stenton, The First Century of English Feudalism,
1066-1166, 2nd edn. (Oxford, 1961), p. 85 n. 2. The Ashbury subtenure
passed after the death of Richard Basset (1136x47) to the Bassets of
Drayton Basset, not of Great Weldon as stated by the feodarist:
Feodary, p. 3; RB, i. 223; cf. Basset Charters c. 1120 to 1250, ed.
W.T. Reedy (PRS lxxxvi-ii, 1989-91, p. xxxvii." END OF QUOTE.
