The main scribe of Great Domesday wrote the running title }{ \i\insrsid14117264 ROTELAND}{\insrsid14117264 in vermilion c apitals across the top of folio 293cd centred above both columns. There is an erasure above this running head: the scribe may have written, or begun, the county head too high on the page. (The instruction on where to find lands in Rutland in Nottinghamshi r e made by Arthur Agarde, keeper of Domesday Book 1570-1615, would of course not have been there then.) There is no running head on folio 294a, but there is another instruction by Agarde to look in Northamptonshire and Lincolnshire for more lands. On these and other notes written by Agarde in Domesday Book, which are included in the Alecto edition, see Thorn, 'Marginal Notes and Signs', pp. 133-34 (= Erskine and Williams, }{\i\insrsid14117264 The Story of Domesday Book}{\insrsid14117264 , p. 201), and on Agarde generally, see Elizabeth M.

These are not given names here nor elsewhere, although Teigh (3,10) is said to be 'in the same hundred'. In the order of Domesday, the places in Alsto e Wapentake fall into geographically coherent groups (1,5-6. 2,7-8. 2a,9. 3,10 and 2,11-13. 4,14. 5,15. 6,16 ) and, since Countess Judith appears in both, it is apparent that the lands are listed hundred by hundred within the wapentake rather than by fief (2,11 Alstoe note). Alstoe Wapentake is not found so divided in later documents; its hundreds are named here 'Northern' and 'Southern' for convenience. \par \tab \tab These small hundreds, fiscal divisions of a wapentake, often consisting of 12 carucates, and therefore often known as '12-carucate hundreds', are explained in the Lindsey Survey of }{\i\insrsid14117264 c}{\insrsid14117264 . 1115 and are found also in other Danelaw shires such as Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.

Domesday says (R1) that Alstoe Wapentake's two hundreds are part of Thurgarton Wapentake and Broxtowe Wapentake. The attachment of 'Martinsley' Wapentake is not stated. Oswaldbeck Wapentake has been suggested, but only, it appears, on the basis of its carucage (about 43 in Domesday). Without the 12 carucates of 'Martinsley' Wapentake, it is a small half-wapentake; with them it is an oversize one (see Roffe, 'Introduction', }{\i\insrsid14117264 Nottinghamshire Domesday}{\insrsid14117264 , pp. 18-19).

The arrangement must have been purely fiscal (as Domesday says: Alecto makes it clearer with '[for the purposes of] the king's tax'), since both the wapentakes of 'Roteland' would have had their own courts and the inhabitants of the wapentakes could not be expected to travel to Nottinghamshire, especially as Thurgarton and Broxtowe were not its most southerly wapentakes; see }{ \i\insrsid14117264 VCH Nottinghamshire}{\insrsid14117264 , i. pp. 239-40.}{\insrsid10430247 \par }{\insrsid14117264 \tab THE KING'S TAX.

Both parts are duplicated in Lincolnshire (respectively LIN 56,12. 27,48): \{Introduction: Duplicate Entries\}. The second entry (LIN 27,48) adds that Thistleton was assessed in South Witham (Lincolnshire); see 2a,9 there note. \par \tab \tab Three other parts of Thistleton, amounting to 2 \'bd carucates and 6 bovates, seem to have lain in Lincolnshire and also to have been assessed there.

It is thus likely that the words }{\i\insrsid14117264 eiusdem manerii}{\insrsid14117264 in LIN 56,21 refer to Market Overton (held by Countess Judith in LIN 56,11, duplicated in RUT 2,7) as does the entry for South Witham (56,20). \par \tab \tab It is possible that the vill of Thistleton had been divided between counties according to tenure at some time, although by 1086 Alfred of Lincoln and Countess Judith held parts in both counties. It is more likely that the division was made to produce fiscally round figures when 'Roteland' became a separate taxable entity: \{Introduction: History\}, \{Introduction: Carucation\}and \{ Introduction: County Boundary). There is certainly no room for the carucates of the Lincolnshire entries for Thistleton in Als toe Wapentake's carucage (R1 carucates note). Thistleton is not counted in Lincolnshire after 1086 and it is possible that there has been an unrecorded boundary change, or that the Lincolnshire portions became merged with South Witham (2a,9 there note). \par \tab \tab The Lincolnshire entry corresponding to the present one (LIN 56,12) only differs in calling Hugh 'the countess' man'.

In Lincolnshire, Laceby and its dependencies (LIN 4,69-71), held }{\i\insrsid14117264 T.R.E.}{\insrsid14117264 by Swein, Erik and Tosti, is connected to another group he ld by Erik centred on Tealby (LIN 28,20-24) by the intermediate tenure of one Rainer the deacon (CN13;18), the Tealby group in turn being connected to another holding of Erik (LIN 14,7) by soke in Willingham. Keelby (LIN 47,3), the final holding in Lincol n shire held by Erik, is just a few miles away from the main group of his properties. Thistleton (RUT 2,8), by contrast, is some distance from the Lincolnshire holdings; and Catworth and Sawtry in Huntingdonshire (HUN 29,3. 19,1. D27) even more so. But Sawt ry provides a possible link between the three counties. The claims for Huntingdonshire state that the Tosti who had held Sawtry was the brother of Erik, a claim confirmed by the Ramsey Chronicle (}{\i\insrsid14117264 Early Charters of Eastern England}{ \insrsid14117264 , p. 235 no. 323). As alread y noted, the main group of Erik's holdings in Lincolnshire were entered under the names of Erik, Tosti and Swein. It seems probable that this Erik and Tosti were the same men as the Huntingdonshire brothers. Their extensive properties (and this Tosti may have been the Tosti holding several other Lincolnshire holdings) makes the Ramsey Chronicle's description of Tosti as }{\i\insrsid14117264 unus ex baronibus regis Edwardi}{\insrsid14117264 ('one of King Edward's barons') comprehensible.

It is possible that when the scribe first looked through the material for 'Roteland' as he was preparing to write the Landholders' List for it in Nottinghamshire, he missed the mention of Alfred of Lincoln i n the information on Thistleton (which was possibly contained in a composite entry similar to those in the }{\i\insrsid14117264 Inquisitio Comitatus Cantabrigiensis}{\insrsid14117264 ) or thought that Alfred was a tenant of Countess Judith. The fact that his source for the 'Roteland' entry did not mention Alfred's subtenant Gleu (see \{Introduction: Duplicate Entries\}) makes this confusion more understandable.}{\insrsid10430247 \par }{\insrsid14117264 \tab [* ALSTOE WAPENTAKE, ['NORTHERN' HUNDRED] *].

This estate is among Alfred's lands in the corresponding Lincolnshire entry (LIN 27,48) which is part of his fief. There the actual tenant is not Alfred himself, but Gleu, Alfred's man: \{Introduction: Duplicate Entries\} ; see also 2a,9 Siward note. For the relation of Thistleton to lands in Lincolnshire, see 2,8 Thistleton note. \par \tab \tab In both the 'Roteland' and the Lincolnshire surveys of this estate, this Thistleton is said to be a manor. However, the Lincolnshire entry contains no value clause, but inst ead says 'its valuation [is included] in [South] Witham'. This clause in itself does not necessarily suggest subordinate status; for example, Hagworthingham (LIN 12,85) is a manor but the value clause is replaced by 'its valuation is [included] in other m anors'. However, against this Lincolnshire entry for Thistleton, there is a marginal }{\i\insrsid14117264 SOCA}{\insrsid14117264 ('jurisdiction'), apparently intended to gloss this statement. Thus doubt is cast on the marginal }{\i\insrsid14117264 M}{ \insrsid14117264 [}{\i\insrsid14117264 anerium}{\insrsid14117264 ] in both the Lincolnshire and 'Roteland' entries. There is also a difficulty with the value: the 1066 and 1086 values of South Witham (LIN 27,47) are 40s and 50[s] respectively, of Thistleton alone, in the 'Roteland' entry, the values are 20s and 60s; see }{\i\insrsid14117264 VCH Rutland}{\insrsid14117264 , i. p. 130. It is possible that there are figur e errors in one or both of these entries. However, as it is possible for a jurisdiction to grow into a manor, it is likely that the two different surveys of the estate at Thistleton, by being done at different times, record the change of status, or that t h e jurors in 'Beltisloe' Wapentake, Lincolnshire, corrected the information or took a different view of an uncertain relationship between the estates. The Lincolnshire version is probably right as this estate was later known as being 'in South Witham in Th istleton' or 'in South Witham lands', and was held in the thirteenth century by the Colville family of Castle Bytham (Lincolnshire).}{\insrsid10430247 \par }{\insrsid14117264 \tab \tab South Witham contained two manors of 4 carucates and 5 carucates (LIN 27,47. 56,1); also a jurisdiction of Market Overton (LIN 56,20), 2 carucates, and another piece, 6 bovates of undefined status (LIN 68,25), making in all 11 carucates and 6 bovates, sug gesting that South Witham was a 12-carucate hundred.}{\insrsid10430247 \par }{\insrsid14117264 \tab SIWARD.

William was also prominent in England, in the early years of the Conqueror's reign. Robert' s large English fief, which he inherited from his father, was centred on Eye in Suffolk (briefly held by Roger of Poitou after 1087) where he began the found ation of a cell of the Abbey of Bernay. He was recorded as sheriff of Suffolk in 1071 possibly in succession to his father. He went on to be chamberlain to Henry I. He died after 1107. He was probably father of William II Malet (who forfeited Eye in 1109) and Robert Malet, ancestor of the Mallets of Curry Mallet (Somerset).}{\insrsid10430247 \par }{\insrsid14117264 \tab \tab The origin of the byname Malet is unclear. Tengvik, }{\i\insrsid14117264 Old English Bynames}{\insrsid14117264 , pp. 350-51, suggests Old French }{\i\insrsid14117264 malet}{\insrsid14117264 , a diminutive of }{ \i\insrsid14117264 mal}{\insrsid14117264 (from Latin }{\i\insrsid14117264 malus}{\insrsid14117264 ), meaning 'bad', 'wicked' or 'evil '. The force of the diminutive is unclear, whether 'quite evil', 'rather wicked' or 'a little naughty'. A related possibility, due to Ekwall (}{\i\insrsid14117264 Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-Names}{\insrsid14117264 , 1936 edition) is that Malet is from Old French }{\i\insrsid14117264 maleit}{\insrsid14117264 , past participle of the verb }{\i\insrsid14117264 maleir}{\insrsid14117264 , meaning 'cursed'. Reaney, }{\i\insrsid14117264 Dictionary of British Surnames}{ \insrsid14117264 , under Mallett suggests two further possibilities. The first is that the name is a patronymic, a diminutive of French }{\i\insrsid14117264 Malo}{\insrsid14117264 , derived from the sixth-century Breton Saint Macl ovius, represented in the place-name Saint-Malo. His second suggestion is based on the fact that Orderic Vitalis calls William Malet }{\i\insrsid14117264 Gulielmus agnomine Mal}{\insrsid14117264 (}{\i\insrsid14117264 l}{\insrsid14117264 )}{ \i\insrsid14117264 eto}{\insrsid14117264 ('William with the surname }{\i\insrsid14117264 Malletum}{\insrsid14117264 ') suggesting that he connected the name with Old French }{\i\insrsid14117264 maillet}{\insrsid14117264 , }{\i\insrsid14117264 mallet}{ \insrsid14117264 , a diminutive of Old French }{\i\insrsid14117264 mail}{\insrsid14117264 , }{\i\insrsid14117264 mal}{\insrsid14117264 from Latin }{\i\insrsid14117264 malleus}{\insrsid14117264 ('hammer'). }{\i\insrsid14117264 Maillet}{\insrsid14117264 in Medieval French is a mace. Support for this comes from the fact that when William Malet was banished in 1109, his son Hugh took the name }{\i\insrsid14117264 Fichet}{\insrsid14117264 . }{\i\insrsid14117264 Fichet}{\insrsid14117264 is a dimin utive of Old French }{\i\insrsid14117264 fiche }{\insrsid14117264 ('iron point') probably used of a lance or javelin.

William I did not allow the grant to take full effect. Although Westminster had an interest in 1086 (1,17 jurisdiction note), and acquired more later, it never h e ld the whole manor. After 1086 the abbey gained a member, Barleythorpe, and the manor known as 'Deanshold' (presumably from the Deans of Westminster), possibly under William II, and by the sixteenth century it had the rectories of Langham, Egleton, Brooke and Barleythorpe (}{\i\insrsid14117264 Valor Ecclesiasticus}{\insrsid14117264 , i. p. 416). However, the bulk of the 1086 estate was held by the Crown or a succession of laymen. It was granted, probably by William II, to Henry of Beaumont or his son Roger of Newburgh (successive Earls of Warwick ); see 1,6 Cottesmore note. In the mid-twelfth century, it was re-acquired by the king in exchange for Sutton Coldfield (Warwickshire), and then held of the Crown by the Ferrers family until forfeited in 1204. It was granted by King John to Isabella (sist e r of Henry of Ferrers) and her husband Roger of Mortimer for life in 1207, then by Henry III in 1252 to his brother Richard, Earl of Cornwall. Thereafter, it grew into a barony, a private borough and ultimately (from the fifteenth century) a soke, at firs t a distinct part of 'Martinsley' Wapentake, then a jurisdiction of its own: Beresford and Finberg, }{\i\insrsid14117264 English Medieval Boroughs}{\insrsid14117264 , p. 149; and \{Introduction: Wapentakes and Hundreds\}.}{\insrsid10430247 \par }{\insrsid14117264 \tab \tab Thus the components of the 1086 manor of Oakham (1,17 outliers note) were d ivided. The lordship land of this lay estate consisted of 'Lordshold' (in Oakham, contrasting with 'Deanshold', held by Westminster Abbey), Langham and Egleton; there were knight's fees in Oakham, Clipsham, Braunston, Pickworth, Belton and Wardley in 'Rot e land' and in Knossington, Thorpe Satchville and Twyford in Leicestershire. There were estates held in socage in Gunthorpe and Braunston. Some of these estates were not part of Oakham in 1086. Twyford (in Leicestershire) was part of the royal manor of Roth l ey (LEC 1,3) and there is no mention of a connection with 'Roteland', unlike Knossington (see 1,17 outliers note). Belton and Wardley were outliers of Ridlington (1,20) and Clipsham and Pickworth were perhaps originally part of Hambleton (1,19). A castle was built at Oakham (first evidenced in 1150: }{\i\insrsid14117264 VCH Rutland}{\insrsid14117264 , i. p. 168), although King, }{\i\insrsid14117264 Castellarium Anglicanum}{\insrsid14117264 , ii. pp. 416-17, regards it as fortified after 1075 under William I.

Barleythorpe did not follow the descent of the other outliers but was held by Westminster Abbey (}{\i\insrsid14117264 Feudal Aids}{\insrsid14117264 , iv. p. 207).
