Gospatric had a grant of Tornthayt in Derwentfellez" from Alice de Rumelli daughter of William fitz Duncan during her widowhood, of which grant there is a copy at Workington Hall. In this township of the parish of Crosthwaite, Patrick founded a chapel about 1240 (Reg. of Fountains, MS. f. 97). He is often called Patrick of Workington and was a great benefactor of the monks of St. Bees and Holmcultram. One of his deeds in this collection (No. 215) bears date 26 Nov. 1250, and was given at Workington, but Patrick lived till a later date (Pipe Rolls, ed. Parker, 177, 194.)

4 The Christian name has been omitted. See his full description as a witness in No. 330.

39. The region south of the Solway, including the modern county of Cumberland, was ceded to David, King of Scots, by King Stephen in 1136 (Chron. Steph. Hen. II., etc., iii. 146, R.S.), but it was recovered by Henry II. in 1157 from King Malcolm (Chron. S. Crucis, p. 32, Bann. Club). King David took up his residence in Carlisle, where he died on 24 May, 1153 (Priory of Hexham, i. 168, Surtees Soc.). See No. 352 for another text of this charter. Thomas Astle included all the Scottish deeds in this Register in his collections for Scottish history (Stowe MS., 552, ff. 94-100).

2 Variously written in this collection as Enresate, Ainreseta, Enereseiset, Enrescenset, Aynerset, Andersetta, but in the fourteenth century, Aynersett, and in the seventeenth, Ainerside, now Annaside, a hamlet near the sea in the parish of Whitbeck. In 1292, John de Hudleston gave the monks of Furness free passage through his whole lordship except Anneys (Anct. D., L. No. 458).

* A very early instance of iron-mining in Cumberland, on which see my narrative in V. C. H. Cumb., ii. 340-41. In the fourteenth century, when iron was still worked there, the place is called Thernby, Thirneby and Thirnby (Cal. of Close, 1337-9, PP. 476, 478, 486, 494), near the town of Egremont, perhaps now called Thornley or Thorny (O. S., lxii., s.E.).

41. The date of this charter belongs to the Scottish occupation under King David, 1136-53. It is not clear how Adam son of Suan had any right within the lordship of Millom unless he had custody of Godard's land and heir. Henry I. enfeoffed him with a large tract on the east of the Eden in the region of Melmerby and Kirkland which was in possession of his heirs at the time of the Inquest of Service in 1212. He had also possessions in Yorkshire and elsewhere. His name appears in the Pipe Roll of Cumberland for 1159 together with his brother Henry son of Suan who held for a time the lands of Langwathby and Edenhall. There is a pedigree of Adam son of Suan on the De Banco Roll, Michaelmas term, 8 Henry III. (Collect. Top. et Geneal., i. 266). See also the "progenies Suani filii Alurici "in Dugdale, Mon., v. 128.

ADAM filius Suwani omnibus hominibus suis, Francis et Anglis, salutem. Sciatis me concessisse et confirmasse elemosinam quam dedit Mahald, uxor Godardi2, Deo et sancte Bege, viz., Enereseiset, et volo et precipio ut monachi de sancta Bega habeant et teneant eam, liberam et quietam ab omni terreno servicio et in pura elemosina, et do eis meam firmam pacem et eam elemosinam sicut ipsa dedit [et] concessit. Testibus Jordano ministro domini, Waltero Flandrigena, et Gilmichel filio Dunadag.

42. CARTA ALANI FILII RONALDI DE J MARCA.

OMNIBUS sancte matris ecclesie filiis presentibus et futuris, Alanus filius Rolandi, dominus Galwath[ie] et Scocie constabularius, salutem. Noveritis nos conces

Godard, the first lord of Millom on record, was one of the earliest benefactors of St. Bees. His charter of endowment is found at No. 76. See also Nos. 1-4. He is called Godard de Boivilla in a charter which he granted to the monks of Furness (Annales Furnes., p. 118). The family of Boyvill was afterwards known by the territorial name of Millom. The name of Arthur son of Godard appears in the Pipe Roll of 1182 as paying a debt to the Crown for recognition of his knight's fee against the countess of Coupland.

42. 1 Alan son of Roland, lord of Galloway and constable of Scotland, was a great man in his day, called indifferently Alan the Great or prince of Galloway, who treated with King John in apparent independence of his own sovereign. His father Roland son of Uctred son of Fergus seized Galloway in 1185 on the death of his uncle Gilbert son of Fergus, but he made his peace with HenryII. at Carlisle in the following year (Hoveden, ii. 299, 309). Roland died on 19 December, 1200, and was buried at Northampton (Ibid., iv. 145). In right of his mother Helena, daughter of Richard de Moreville, Alan became constable of Scotland and in 1209 married a daughter of David, earl of Huntingdon, brother of the Scottish King (Chron. de Mailros, Bann. Club, p. 108). In 1212 King John requested him to send 1,000 of his best and most active Galwegians to Chester for his expedition against the Welsh (Close R. 14 John, m. 7d.) Shortly after, Alan received from that King grants of large tracts of land in Ireland (Chart. R. 15

CARTA GUTHREDI REGIS INSULARUM DE ESCHEDALA IN BOSCO, PLANO, PASTURA, ET OMNIBUS ALIIS.

SCIANT omnes tam presentes quam futuri quod ego Guthredus1, Dei gracia, rex Insularum, tam pro salute mea quam pro animabus patris et matris mee necnon et pro statu regni et populi mei, concessi et dedi Deo et sancte Bege et monachis ibidem Deo servientibus in puram et perpetuam elemosinam terram, que vocatur John, m. 3, 17 John, pt. i., m. 10). He died in 1234 and was buried in the abbey of Dundraynan, leaving three daughters, one of whom (Devorguil) had been married to John Balliol in 1233 (Chron. de Mailros, pp. 143-4). Alan of Galloway had a family connection with Cumberland, for his grandmother, Gunnild, wife of Uctred son of Fergus, was a daughter of Waldeve son of Gospatrick, lord of Allerdale (Liber S. Crucis, Bann. Club, Pp. 19-20).
