the answer, and, rushing 20 the spot,
erasped the guy. He then understood the
situation perfectly, hut he was unable 10

The Roll of Battle Abbey.
(Edinblrgn Rogiew.l

The roll Of Battle Abbey is not in exist
ence. There was sucn q roll suspended IN
the great hall OF tho building. and ii bore
the names OF 645 knights, but il has disap-
pearcd long ago. as well ~ the other relics
Of the battle, which were removed TO Cow
draw and persisted in the conhacration OF
1893. We are therefore reduced TO deal
with copies Of imperfect lists, Of which
there are several. The four lists
which appear 10 be most authentic
are % Duchesne's list. taken from
the Abbey charter. containing 4Oj names ;
% Lcland's collection, with 1873 names; 90
Magny's catalogue. with 425 names: t4)
Delisle's. called THE Dives List with 4s5
names These are all of much later dates
than the Conquest, and II IS well known
that the heralds of the fourteenth ana
fifteenth centuries were not scrupulous III
adding names to the Libro dOor' Of
Battle. The most unquestiOnahle record
is that of WAGE IL the Roman de
Rou.n He names us knights or ba-
rons, and he says he could have
named many more Twenty-seveH of
these are progenitors of noble Eng
lsh families or otherwise celebrated.
The difficulty Of Identifying these doughty
personages is increased by the fact that IN
the eleventh and twelfth centuries family
surnGmcs We're not commonly IN use.
Christian names were gwen III bapt lsl4i,
and territorial names. taken from the place
of abode or from the estates or fofs held
by the family or the individual. were
added. Sometimes the name of an Office,
or n nickname derived rom some personal
regularity. was assumed, such Is COnesta-
bic. lie Brun, or lie Fort, which became N
time the family names of Constable,
Browne. FOrtoscuc. The royal house OF
France had no family name. We doubt if
the descendants OF Rcllo the Norscman
had any name; they became Robert
or William of Normandy. Through
ont the Middle Ages the families and their
branches were known by their territorial
possessions. Their place of origin or hG5i-
iGi becomes, therefore. the essential key 20
their cenealogics. After the Conquest the
Norman lords of British fiefs frequently
added their foreign appellation TO their
English manors. The following are III
stances: llurst-MoRcedtir, Earring NcriAe,
Drayton- BdsstH. Acknowledging, hshby-
de-id-Zo,sch, Stanstead-Ricers and many
others.
