Witham Decanatus, in the county of Essex, who abdicated the said Jane, and left her wholly on the Conquerors hands, who had
issue by her a son, named William Peverell, (who, because born during the joint marriage and lives of the said Randolph
and Jane, was surnamed Peverell) upon whom the Conqueror settled the honor, manor, and borough of Nottingham, and town of

CORNWALL IN PARLIAMENT by Lawrence
Not all boroughs returned their members especially with reference to Helston - which the borough could not afford to pay their
members wages or else the members elected considered the journey to parliament too far. In the 1351/52 parliament Johannes De
Tremayn appears not only as member for Bodmin but also for Helston, while in the 1355 parliament he is returned as the member for
Cornwall county, Bodmin & Liskeard.
A Tremayne (Johannes De Tremaen or Tremayn) was in parliament for Helston as far back as 1323 (EDW11). A Johannes De
Tremayn sat for the county in 1334 and in 1344 (EDW111) and in this last named parliament ( Johannes Fils Johannes De Tremaen)
was member for Launceston, so on through successive reigns until 1880 the Tremayne family again and again were Cornish knights
of the shire or burgesses for either Helston, Liskeard, Lostwithiel, Tregony and Truro.
