C') Among those so sum. 24 May 1282, IVillelmus de Breus' and IFillelmus de Brewes both occur. But several names are repeated in this list, so that these are, doubtless, the same person, viz., the William who d. 1290-91. (•=) As to the writs of 8 June 1294 and 26 Jan. 1296/7, see Preface. V.G.

But this is erroneous. Raymund de Sully was described as aged 23 when he sue. his father, Walter (before 26 Dec. 1285 — Fine Roll, 14 Edw. I, mm. 17, 15), in the Inq. p. m. on the latter (14 Edw. I, no. I, now missing), and his mother Mabel (de Somery) did not die till 131 1 (Ch. Inq. p. m., Edw. II, file 24, no. 9), when he is described as 40 and more. He could not therefore have been the great-grandfather of John de Bohun, b. 1 30 1 (see "Bohun"). (') Ch. Inq. p. m., Edw. II, file 97, no. 6.

Glamorgan), s. of Leisan d'Avan, s. of Sibyl, sister and in her issue coh. of Raymund de Sully, described himself as "dominus Davene de Kilvei et de Sully" [Harl. Charter, 75 C 25: Clark, Cartae Glamorgan., nos. 261, 1 134, etc.). See also a note in The Scrope and Grosvenor Controversy, vol. ii, p. 240. (') He had a s., William, living Apr. 131 5, who is not mentioned by any genea- logist. A charter of Gilbert de Turberville, "dominus de Landymore," dated 27 Apr. 9 Edw. Ill, mentions the lands which he had by the gift "domini Willelmi de Brewousa filii et heredis domini Johannis de Brewousa et domini Willelmi de Brewousa domini Gouherie filii ejusdem domini Willelmi et domini Willelmi de Brewousa filii ejusdem domini Willelmi domini Gouherie" [Top. and Gen.,o. ii, p. 270).
