  • Notes 

    • Another example of the broad meaning of the word "neptis" in this period is its use for King Henry I's kinswoman, Sibyl of Falaise, in the Curia Regis Rolls. As best I know, King Henry had no niece named Sibyl of Falaise. The assertion by one author that the word "neptis" might be an euphemism for an illegitimate daughter seems unfounded. Rather, Sibyl of Falaise was simply a near kinswoman of undeterminate relationship to King Henry I of England. [Ref: Douglas Richardson 24 Feb 2002]

      Henry I gave the honour of Montgomery (in Wales) to Baldwin de Boulers on his marriage to Sibyl de Falaise. Sibyl was some kind of relation, probably cousin, of Henry I, but not niece as is interpreted from the latin...

      The IPM of Vitalis Engayne in 1248 (CIPM 1: 166) says for Suffolk "Badmundefeld, a moiety of the manor (extent given) held of the honour on Mungumeri without service, because King Henry, the king's great-great grandfather, gave the manor in free marriage to Baldwin de Bulers, ancestor of the said Vitalis, with Sibyl de Falaise his niece."
