(*•) The arms of this family of Deverois were Gules, a fesse and in chief three roundlets Argent. Those of Deverois (afterwards Devereux) of Bodenham were the same, with the tinctures reversed. For the latter family see Ferrers of Chartley. (*) In 1 1 66 Roger de Ehroich held 4 fees, and Walter de Ehroicis 3 fees, of Hugh de Lacy of Ewyas and Weobley, co. Hereford. Roger is usually supposed to have been ancestor of the family of Deverois of Lyonshall, Walter of that of Deverois of Bodenham, but this conjecture is untrue: for it appears from Bracton's Note Book, no. 227, that Roger di Ehreicis, living in the reign of Henry II, held 2 knights' fees in Eylnathestona and Pitttelega, and d. i.p., leaving his sisters his heirs. Stephen de Ehroich was granted the vill of Frome Herherti by his uncle, Stephen de Longchamp, in 1205, and the manor of Wilby, co. Norfolk, by the Earl of Pembroke. [Charter Rolls, 7 Joh., m. 2>; II Hen. Ill, p. i, w. 3). He gave lands in Lyonshall and Frome to Wormsley Priory, m. Isabel de Cantelou (she tn., 2ndly, Ralph de Penbrugge), and d. shortly before 17 Mar. 1227/8. (Charter in Coll. Top. et Gen., vol. ii, p. 250: Fine Roll, 12 Hen. Ill, m. 7; Close Roll, m. 11). William de Ehroicis confirmed the grants of his father Stephen to Wormsley, die Parasceve [25 Mar.] 1250. In 1264 he pledged his manors of Stoke Lacy and Lawton for 1,000 marks to Roger de Mortimer for the ransom of Adam le Despenser, taken prisoner at the battle of Northampton. {Liber Niger de JVigmore, Harl.
