Transcriber's Note:
^ denotes a superscript.
The ligature æ is not necessarily consistent in its use, e.g. 'mediæval' is used more in Part I of this book, but not in Part II; 'mediaeval' is used in both parts.
The original book contained a Foreword, which is not present in the scans from which this book derives.
'Foreword ... page 7' has been removed from the Table of Contents.
Page 51: Text and table were slightly re-arranged for better flow.
Page 138: 'Lincolnshire' could be an error for 'Lincolnescire' or 'Lincolnescira', both appearing on page 137.
(p. 137): "Hugh Candidus wrote of the former:
Heres Galfridi de Nevile tenet in Lincolnescire,..."
Page 251: "as we gather from Florence [?] ..."
64 Floriacensis Vigorinensis: John of Worcester (fl. 1095-1140), chronicler, the author of the world history formerly attributed to Florence of Worcester.
Survives in five twelfth-century manuscripts.
Holinshed's last citation is under 1115, ... ~ CATALOGUE OF PRINCIPAL SOURCES USED IN 1577 EDITION OF HOLINSHEDS CHRONICLES COMPILED BY HENRY SUMMERSON [http://www.cems.ox.ac.uk/holinshed/ Catalogue%20of%20principal%20sources.....pdf]
'Stamford Bridge' and 'Stamfordbridge' both appear more than once in this book, and in the First edition. Two instances of 'Stamfordbridge' have been corrected to 'Stamford Bridge', to correspond to the First edition.
Page 323 (in Chaper 'REGENBALD, PRIEST AND CHANCELLOR'): A Charter in Anglo-Saxon has been restored from the 1st edition (1895).
Anglo-Saxon letters in this Charter include:
þ = (lower-case) thorn; [W] representing Capital Wynn; [w] representing lower-case wynn; ð = (lower-case) eth; [þt] representing thorn with stroke, an abbreviation for þæt
þ and ð are also used elsewhere in the book.
Page 381: The printer has used a symbol to simulate a mediaeval scribe's abbreviarion of 'et'.
This has been replaced in this .txt version of the book by [et].
Pages 412-415: The 2-page table which interrupted the text has been removed to the end of the chapter (as it was in the First edition), and the page numbers and footnote numbers amended.
As the table is spread across two pages, line numbers have been added to connect the two pages.
The column headings run: Granted at Confirmed at Grantee Authority
Line 1. of the first table is followed by line 1. of the second table, and so on. The brackets between lines 6. and 7. have been removed, and the common information duplicated, to enable the two sets of line-numbers to co-relate.
Page 432: 'enured' = 'inured' = (legal) 'took effect', etc.
Errata:
Many printer's errors, nearly all absent from the first edition, appear to have been introduced by a careless printer working from a copy of the first edition. Abbreviated titles, 'Mr.', 'Prof.', etc., in the First edition have mostly appeared in this edition as 'Mr', 'Prof', etc. These have been retained. Incorrect punctuation has been repaired without comment, except in the Index. Here the printer of this edition has replaced many of the colons of the First edition with commas, and added extra commas after sub-listings. These have been retained. Double quotes were used in the first edition; single quotes in this edition. This has led to some confusion where ' is used for both an abbreviation and a following end quote (''). Other errors are listed below.

'A. IV' corrected to 'C. IV' (Wrong in 1895 ed., correct in Elton's book).)
"Mr Elton, in his well-known Tenures of Kent, attaches considerable importance to a list, 'De Suylingis Comitatus Kantiæ et qui eas tenent;...' in the Cottonian MS., Claud. C. IV, which he placed little subsequent to Domesday."

Page 161: 'ed' corrected to 'de'. (Roger de Moubray)
"In Picwell et in Lucerthorp de feudo Rogeri de Moubray xv. car."
Page 173: 'June 31st'. This agrees with the 1895 ed., but may refer to a document of 1st July, 1176. (see page 388, paragraph beginning: "Having now traced the royal iter, of which the pleas are....").
Page 177: 'Comitis[is]' corrected to 'Comit[is]', to match similar.
"In Evenle i. hid. et i. parvam virg. de feodo Comit[is] Leyc[estrie]."
Page 189 (et seq.): 'I. THE CARTAE OF 1166'. The 3rd impression agrees with the 1st Edition (1895). Subsequent 'cartæ' in this chapter (3rd impression) do not. All instances of 'cartæ' in this chapter have been corrected to 'cartae', as 1895 ed.

'Episcopus de Heref' reddit compotum de lxxvi. libris et v. solidis de promiss[ione] c. Servientium de Wal'' (p. 84).
where the following would have been clearer:
[... "Episcopus de Heref' reddit compotum de lxxvi. libris et v. solidis de promiss[ione] c. Servientium de Wal'" (p. 84).]
(Heref' and Wal' are abbreviations).

"Ancestor of the fitzWalters of Dunmow and of Baynard's Castle, who are accordingly spoken of by Fantôme as 'Clarreaus'--a word which has puzzled his editor, Mr Howlett."

"... in conjunction with William fitz Baldwin (see pp. 256, footnote 37; 358")

[1st ed. has Nunant for the previous 3 occurrences of the name, but Nonant here and the next 2 occurrences. Possibly the variation may be deliberate and reflect the spelling in the sources.]

Page 442: Index numbers: 555, 558-60 removed. Correct for First Edition; too high for 3rd Impression.
Index: The Index was unreliable.
Though most page numbers were correct, some page numbers belonged to the first edition, and had not been correctly translated, or not removed after translation; some were merely incorrect. All page numbers were checked, and retained, amended, or deleted without TN comment, except where the error was not simply numerical.
As the Footnotes have now been removed from the ends of pages to the ends of Chapters, there is no longer the connection from the Index page reference to a footnote, which may have held the only information on the page to the Index topic. Accordingly, where the information sought is only in the footnote, the footnote number, as a superscript, has been added to the page number in the Index, e.g.
"Ellis, Mr A. S., 249^{7}, 257^{43}"
Index: 'Feif' corrected to 'Fief'.
"Barnstaple, Fief of,..."
Index: 'Beauchamp, Maud de, 156, 158-9'.
The reference to p. 158 is to 'Matilda Beauchamp'. 'Matilda' and 'Maud' were apparently interchangeable, so this reference would be correct.
However, p. 159 has:
"... in their rivalry for Tamworth,[36] the Marmions embraced the cause of Stephen, and the Beauchamps that of Maud, their variance being terminated under Henry II by a matrimonial alliance."
Surely this Maud is not Maud de Beauchamp, as the entry implies, but the Empress Maud, daughter, and surviving heir, of Henry I, and mother of Henry II; and bitter rival of her cousin, Stephen of Blois, crowned King of England, while she was not quite crowned Queen.
Index: 'Couut' corrected to 'Count'.
"Fitz Count, Brian,..."
Index: 'Hamslape' corected to 'Hanslape'.
"Hanslape, Michael de, 179"
Index: 'Knight's-fees' corrected to 'Knight's fees', as 1895 ed.
