  1. 1.0 1.1 Now part of Newport Hundred.
  2. There is reason to believe from a case in Somerset, where the Exon text can be compared with Domesday Book, that ' legatus ' is used by the scribe in the sense of ' interpreter ' (J.H.R.).
  3. He also held the Oxfordshire half of Ibstone (2 hides) and Bix Brand, near it, in that county (J.H.R.).
  4. The marginal note naming the Hundred is apparently omitted. It probably should be Essendene [Ashendon] (F.W.R.).
  5. Now part of Cottesloe Hundred. For Cottesloe, see p. 241, note 5, under the land of the Bishop of Lisieux.
