(Tenants-in-chief with no recorded subtenants are not included.)<br />
It is clear <strong>that</strong> many of the immigrants came from Norm<strong>and</strong>y. However, even<br />
these came from every part of Norm<strong>and</strong>y: from Arques in the north-east of<br />
Norm<strong>and</strong>y, from Eure, south of Rouen — Ralph Baynard <strong>and</strong> Robert de Tosny—<br />
from Calvados — Roger Bigod, Ralph de Beaufour, Robert de Courcun <strong>and</strong> William<br />
de Beaufour — <strong>and</strong> from Avranches in the south-west. Similarly, although most of<br />
the subtenants of these tenants-in-chiefs were from Norm<strong>and</strong>y, like their lords, they<br />
were also drawn from many parts of Norm<strong>and</strong>y.<br />
Though most of the subtenants are clearly of continental origin, it is worth<br />
noting <strong>that</strong> a few of them are English or, like Norman (or Norman the sheriff), at<br />
least pre-1066 inhabitants. If we had enough space, it would be interesting <strong>and</strong><br />
possible to look at the identity of these subtenants in more detail through Domesday<br />
