FAMILY HISTORY.
FITZ ALAN OR LE ROUS.
This family would seem to have been seated at Harescombe at an early date. It appeal's from the convention made between Roger the Prior of Lanthony and Roger Fitz Alan that Alan Fitz Mayn, his father, founded the chapel there circa 1150 (see post).
Roger Fitz Alan, to whom the church of Harescombe is, as shewn in that document, specially indebted, was of course the son of Alan Fitz Mayn, concerning whom, unfortunately, we have no information beyond the fact that he witnessed (vide ante p. 87) a grant by Walter de Hereford of lands, situated at Cerney, to St. Peter's Abbey, that he was founder of, or a benefactor to, the church of Harescombe, and that he also held a fee of the Bishop of Hereford called Mora, in connection with which manor his name has been preserved to our own days, " Mora Alani " ·Äî or Alansinore, situated a few miles to the south of the city of Hereford. The name of his son, Roger Fitz Alan, occurs in the Liber Niger Scaccarii (Hearne's edition), among the knights of Ysabel, wife of Henry de Hereford, son of Earl Milo. This Henry de Hereford granted the church of Haresfield to the priory of Lanthony in 1161, his charter being afterwards insjjected and confirmed by R[obert] Bishop of Worcester. He was treacherously murdered by the Welsh previously to the year 1175, in which year William de Braose, junior, is recorded to have slaughtered many in revenge for his uncle's death, at Abergavenny Castle.

" Habet Ysabel uxor Henrici de Hereford v mil. in dotem. Hos habet eciam feofatos de Dominiis suis post mortem Henrici Regis quos pater suus et fratres feodaverunt :
Willelmus de Cernai. dim. milit.
Willelmus Torel In Cernai quart, part, milit.
Helyas de Kokerel dim. milit.
Rogerus filivs Alani I Mil. et dim.
Ricardus Murdac I mil.

The name of Roger Fitz Alan frequently occurs in the Register of Lanthony, as benefactor, or as witness to charters. He gives the prior and canons 2 acres of meadow in the South mead : and lh acres "in the field of Queddesle." Another entry is fuller and recites, " I have given to the Canons of Lanthony with my body two acres of meadow in the South Mead, "juxta molle pratum eofdem Canon orum , and one acre and a half called Wale- well in the field of Queddesle."

He (together with Ylbert' de Grannavill Rad' fil' Wil') wit- nesses a grant by Henry de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, giving lands, &c, at Haresfield to Richard de Veyne and others : which same Richard de Veyne ' miles' gives to the church of Lanthony for the sustentation of tioo Canons perpetually interceding for his own soul that of Beatis his wife, and of Henry de Hereford his lord (domini mei) all the lands that he held in the manor of Harsefeld.

Henry son of Roger Fitz Alan now comes before us in con- nection with whose name we see a departure from a former custom. He is not known as Henry Fitz Roger, as we might have expected, but as Henry le Rous, which name is afterwards continued in the family. 1
