The workers of iron, in this province, were under the jurisdiction of six barons foisiers; these were the barons of Ferrieres, La Fert^ Fresnel, and Chaumont, and the abbots of Lyre, St. Wandrille, and St. Evroul. The barons of Ferrieres were styled premiers barons fossiers, which shows that the Jorges they had charge of were esteemed the principal, or the most ancient. (H. de Formeville, Les barons fossiers de Normandie, in Metn. Soc. Antiq. Norm., vol. xix, pp. 554"583). The popular story that Henry de Ferrieres "received his surname from holding the office of master of the farriers in the invading army" is therefore only the trutii — a little distorted. Whether the English branch of the family in the twelfth century bore, as the heralds say they did, Sable, six horse-shoes Argent (or the same with the tinctures reversed), or whether they bore any arms at all, is another question. (*) This Walkelin was slain in the civil wars which distracted Normandy during the minority of Duke William. (Ordericus Vitalis, lib. i, cap. 24).
