Notes about Guy de BOTETOURT II

Walsham Hundred: Upton, Norfolk
Twenty-six socmen held a carucate and an half of land, 35 acres of meadow, and 3 carucates; the town was one leuca long and one broad, and paid 2s. gelt. The King and the Earl had the soc and sac over all their socmen, except seven, who had the soc under their protection or commendation; and in this town of Upton and that of Fishley, there were 25 socmen, with 60 acres of land and 13 of meadow, always half a carucate. In Opton was a socman with 12 acres, valued at 2s. and the soc of these belonged to the hundred.

This lordship with Fishley, and South-Walsham, was in the Conqueror's hands, and Godric his steward took care of it for the king at the survey; of this and Fishley, Ralph the old Earl had been deprived, and by the Crown it was granted to the family of Le Boteler.

In the reign of Henry II. it was seised by the King as an escheat, Andrew Le Boteler refusing to perform the services due to the King, when it was granted to Ralph de Glanvile, valued at 10l. who gave it to Reyner de - - - - -, and he enfeoffed Nicholas Le Boteler of it, with his sister in frank marriage.

On the death of Nicholas Le Boteler, s. p. who is said to have held it of Hugh de Auberville, it came to Adam de Brancaster, and William de St. Clere; but Wiiliam, son of Reyner de Wythelesham, and Beatrix his wife, held it during the life of the said Beatrix, widow of the aforesaid Nicholas; and they in the first year of Edward I. convey by fine to Guy de Botetourt, their interest herein, with lands, rents, &c. in Fishley, South Walsham, &c.

In the 14th of that King, Felitia, widow of William de St. Clere, who had sold his part or moiety to William de Heveningham, claimed an interest therein; but the whole appears soon after to be vested in the Botetourts.

In the 30th of the said reign, Sir Guy de Botetourt had a grant of a market and a fair here: and before this, in the 15th, claimed view of frank pledge, assise, weyf, &c.

John Le Botetourt his descendant leaving an only daughter Jocosa, brought it by her marriage to Sir Hugh Burnel, who possessed it in the 2d of King Henry IV. as in Cantly, Uphall manor in Blofield hundred.
