of the lands of Ralph were subsequently given to William of Eu most probably after the compilation of Domesday Book. 141 Ralph of Beaufour (Bellofago) was from Beaufour, Calvados, in Normandy. He was the lord of Hockering in Norfolk. He was a Class D (£100-£200) landholder. Besides, he was the sheriff of Suffolk in the period between 1091 and 1102 and of Norfolk in the early part of Henry I’s reign. His brother or a relative was the bishop of Thetford, William de Beaufour. He married Agnes, who was the daughter of Robert de Tosny. Despite having two sons, Richard and Ralph, after his death, Hockering went to Agnes’s second husband, Hubert I de Ryes and his descendants. 142 As Judicael the Priest does not seem to be holding his land as the property of a particular church, it seems best to treat him as a ‘lay’ tenant-in-chief. However, apart from his apparently Breton name, nothing can be found out about him. Robert Blund (Blunt) was tenant-in-chief in Suffolk, was well as in Wiltshire. He was the lord of Ashfield in Claydon Hundred in Suffolk. Before 1086 he was the sheriff of Norfolk. He inherited some of his lands from his brother, Ralph. By 1166, his lands were held by William son of Gilbert Blund. 143 Adelaide, the countess of Aumale was sister or half-sister of the Conqueror. She married three times, first to Engueran count of Ponthieu, second to Lambert count of Lens, and third to Odo count of Champagne. Odo succeeded Drogo de la 141 Green, Aristocracy, p. 65. 142 Keats-Rohan, Domesday People, p. 330; Green, Aristocracy, p. 343; Sanders, English Baronies, p.53; Norwich Episcopal Acta, p. xxviii. 143 Keats-Rohan, Domesday People, p. 370; Sanders, English Baronies, pp. 3-4; Red Book, i, pp. 408- 9. 43
Beuvriere in the lordship of Holderness. Her son, Stephen of Aumale, would be the focus of rebellion against William Rufus in 1095. 144 Most probably, Berengar in Domesday Suffolk was a Berengar from Le Sap, Orne, in Normandy. He was one of the benefactors of Roger Bigod’s priory of Thetford. In eastern Suffolk, all he had were two freemen whom he had annexed. He held some lands of Bury St Edmunds and by 1166 these lands, an enfeoffment of two knights, were held by William de Houe. 145 Ranulf Peverel came from Vengeos, Manche, in western Normandy. 146 He was the lord of honour of Peverel of London. After his death around 1092, this honour was held by his successor, William. After William’s death however, it was under royal control. 147 Besides modest lands in Suffolk, mostly outside eastern Suffolk, he was a major tenant-in-chief in Essex. 148 His wife, Athelida, was a member of the confraternity of St Albans; she was also the mistress of the Conqueror. 149 Roger de Raimes was from Rames, Seine-Maritime in Normandy. He was lord of Rayne in Essex in 1086, where the bulk of his lands were. 150 Robert de Courson was from Courson, Calvados, in Normandy. As well as having seized some land from Count Alan’s manor of Wissett in Blything Hundred, he was an under-tenant of Roger Bigod. 151 144 Keats-Rohan, Domesday People, p. 124; Sanders, English Baronies, p. 24; Green, Aristocracy, p. 155. 145 Keats-Rohan, Domesday People, p. 164; Domesday Book Suffolk, fo. 449a; Red Book, i, p. 393. 146 Green, Aristocracy, p. 45; Keats-Rohan, Domesday People, pp. 355-6. 147 Sanders, English Baronies, p. 120. 148 Green, Aristocracy, p. 84; For Ranulf Peverel’s lands in Essex see Domesday Book Essex, fos. 71b-76a; for his lands in Suffolk see, ibid., fos. 393b, 417a; for his predecessor see also Domesday Book Suffolk, fos. 337b, 338a, 375ab, 417a. 149 Keats-Rohan, Domesday People, p. 355. 150 Ibid., p. 406; Sanders, English Baronies, p. 139. 151 Keats-Rohan, Domesday People, p. 375; Domesday Book Suffolk, fos. 331b, 333b, 336a, 449a. 44
