Doomsday ref 73 manors in Devon

Legg inn av Gjest » 15 feb 2007 05:58:01

In the online Doomsday list of land holders there is a reference to
FitzPoyntz, Drogo-son of William of Poyntz. Holdings in Gloucs, Herfords, Wilts,
Worcs. Also 73 holdings in Devon as under-tenant of Bishop of Coutances.

My question is the names of the 73 holdings in Devon. I don't know if these
are listed and I wouldn't expect if someone has them to type them all. I am
interested in knowing if any are around Okehampton Devon and if possibly the
list includes Alferdon (Alfordon), Webberhill or Chichacott.

Thank you for reading my query.

Dear Penny,

Domesday Book (sections 16.3, 16.4) shows Okehampton and Chichacott
both held by Baldwin the Sheriff, with Chichacott held from him by one
Roger (Alfordon and Webber Hill are not mentioned and are presumably
subsumed in the entry for either Okehampton or Chichacott). None of
Drogo's holdings, from either the Bishop of Coutances or the Count of
Mortain, lay in or near Okehampton.

Incidentally, in the Devon Domesday he is called just Drogo, but the
two editions of Domesday I've just looked in (the Phillimores and
Alecto editions) both tentatively identify him as the Drogo
fitzMauger, probably son of Mauger de Carteret, who held land from the
Bishop of Coutances in Somerset.
