. The Victoria history of the county of Hertford. Natural history. EDWINSTREE HUNDRED ASPENDEN WITH WAKELEY a ^ After the Norman Conquest Alward's land had passed to Count Eustace of Boulogne, and was held of him by Robert.^'' This holding cannot be traced after this time, and it was probably appurtenant to the neighbouring manor of Berkesden (), which Robert held of the count. Eddeva the Fair's lands in Wakeley became part of the possessions of Count Alan of Britanny and were held of him by Ralph.^' Count Alan held also the manor of Munden,^^ and the overlordship of the manor of Wakeley appears to have descended with that manor until the end of the 13 th century, when it was held by the Furnivals, lords of the manor of Munden, at which suit of court was owed.^^ Ralph, the tenant in fee of this holding in 1086, seems to be identical with Ralph Pinel the predecessor of the Lanvalleys,'*^ for in 1194 his lands in Wakeley had descended to William de Lanvalley.^* The Lanvalleys appear to have subenfeofFed their lands to the Fitz Ralphs before this date,^^ and these lands probably were amalgamated with the Fitz Ralphs' other holding in Wakeley. This was the fee which in Saxon times was held by Edric. In 1086 it formed part of the possessions of Hardwin de Scales, and was held of him by Theobald,^' ancestor of the Fitz Ralphs. At the beginning of the 13 th century Hardwin's des- cendants were holding in service in Wakeley,^* but after this there is no further record of their tenure here. Theobald, who was holding the manor of Hardwin in 1086, appears to have had a son Fulk, who was succeeded by his son Theobald.'* He was holding the manor of Wakeley with his wife Amphyllis in 1194 with reversion to his son Fulk and Eleanor his wife.'^ In 1277 Ralph Fitz Ralph of Broadfield (grandson of Fulk) was lord of Wakeley, but by this time a tenant had been subenfeofFed.'^ Ralph Muschet was holding the manor of Wakeley of Ralph Fitz Ralph in 1277.'* His father Richard Mus
