rus de Livou apud Escouchcium (Ecouché) | The Church of Ecouché was at the presentation of the abbot of St. Florent at Saumur, and so continued down to the sixteenth century; but of whose gift seems to be unknown. On the Rotuli Normanniæ, m. 5. anno Regni Regis Johannis quinto, we read, under the heading Custodia commissa, this writ: Rex Senescallo Normannie, salutem. Sciatis quod concessimus domino Lexoviensi Episcopo (Jordano) custodiam medietatis de Cuscy, que fuit Hugonis de Gornay, custodiendam quamdiu nobis placuerit, ita quod ipse respondeat ad Scaccarium nostrum Cadomi. Et ideo, &c. There is no date; but it is preceded and fol lowed by writs, with the King's own teste at Gonneville sur Saire on the 30th of November and 1st of December 1203. The tenure of Hugh de Gournay in the fief of Ecouché, was from the first only as to a moiety. This was also the case in respect of Longueil in Talou, other parcel of the inheritance of Basilia Fleitel, his tenure being only of the moiety. At the time of his defection from King John, in the month of May 1203, a writ was sent by that monarch to William de Mortemer, his bailiff, commanding him to cause Fulk de Cantilupe to have the land which Hugh de Gornai had held at Longueil, as fully as the same Hugh held it when he withdrew from the King's service, under the teste of Peter de Préaux at Falaise, 8th day of May. This grant was cancelled the fourth day following; and the Bailiff of Caux was directed to cause William de Briouge to have Longueil, by writ with the King's teste at Bonneville-sur-Touques, 12 May.

Jurati dicunt quod Rex Stephanus dedit manerium de Wendover cum omnibus pertinentibus suis Hugoni de Gurnaco, patri Domini Hugonis de Gurnaco, qui illud tenuit totâ vitâ ipsius Regis Stephani, et quando Dominus Henricus Rex fuit coronatus ipse permisit ipsum Hugonem tenere manerium illud sine dono quod audiverunt ipsum fecisse usque ad redditum suum de exercitu de Tulose, et quando suam manerium illud ut dominicum suum et habuit et tenuit, et postea illud dedit Pharamo de Bolonia sicut carta testatur quam Sibilla de Tingrie protulit. Et sciendum quod Sibilla de Tingrie warrantizat priori de Suwerk advocationem ecclesiæ de Wendover.

The house of Dampmartin, Counts of Damp-| married to Hugh de Gournay. The other martin in the Isle of France, descend from Manasses Count of Dampmartin, whose name occurs in a charter of Robert King of France, of the date of 1028. From him descended Alberic second Count of Dampmartin, who by Mahaut his wife had Julia de Dampmartin,* * Anselme, Hist. Geneal. de France, vol. vi. p. 74. vol. viii. p. 401. children of Alberic were, 1st. Renaud Count of Dampmartin, who married, 1st. Marie de Chatillon, and, 2nd. Ida of Flanders, eldest daughter and principal heiress of Matthew of Flanders, Count of Boulogne, (widow of Gerard Count of Guelders, and of Berthold Duke of Zurenghen,) by whom he had an only daughter, Mahaut Countess of Dampmartin and of Bou logne, who left no children by her two husbands, Philip of France, Count of Clermont en Beauvoisis, son of Lewis le Jeune, and Alphonso the Third, King of Portugal. Simon, the younger brother of Renaud Count of Dampmartin and Boulogne married Maria heiress of the Counts of Ponthieu, Montreuil, and Aumale, by whom he had an only daughter, married to Ferdinand III. or the Saint, King of Castille and Leon, by whom, amongst other children, she had Alianor, Queen of Edward I. King of England.* These two noblemen were the only brothers of Julia de Gournay. Alix, her eldest sister, conveyed a large portion of the inheritance of this family to the Lords of Trie and Moncey en Beauvoisis, to one of whom she was married. The Counts of Dampmartin bore, Barry of six azure and argent. The Dampmartins Counts of Aumale bore, Or, three bends azure. *Anselme, Hist. Geneal. de France, vol. iii. p. 303. A branch of the family of Dampmartin held fiefs in Norfolk and Suffolk. Of these Odo de Dampmartin was recently deceased in 1130, as appears by the fines of Basilia his widow for dower in Norfolk, and of Odo his son for relief of his land in Suffolk. Manasserus de Dampmartin was apparently brother of the younger Odo. This Manasserus gave a quarter of a knight's fee in Suffolk to Walter de Gournay in the reign of Stephen. It seems likely that Basilia, the widow of the elder Odo de Dampmartin, was the daughter of Hugh de Gournay and Basilia Flaitel, and that Manasser de Dampmartin her son enfeoffed Walter de Gournay his cousin of this Suffolk fief, Walter being, in all probability, son of Gerard de Gournay and Editha de Warren. Manasser de Dampmartin was a justice itinerant 26th Henry II.; his descendants were called by the name of Fitz-Otho or Fitz-Odo. COUNTS OF DAMPMARTIN. DAMPMARTIN COUNTS OF AUMALE. |
