Manor Of Molland
The Manor of Molland was a Middle Ages, medieval manor house, manor in North Devon, England. It was largely co-terminous with the parish of Molland, where it was situated the village of Molland.

Descent of the manor The Exeter Domesday Book of 1086 records three entries for manors called "Molland", two in South Molton Hundred (county subdivision), hundred and one in North Molton Hundred (county subdivision), hundred. The latter does not relate to today's village and estate of Molland, but to a separate ancient small manor later called "Molland-Sarazen", about 7 miles to the north-west, in the modern parish of North Molton. It is now memorialized by the name of Higher Molland Farm and Molland Cross. This manor in North Molton hundred was held by Tetbald, son of Berner, who was the father-in-law of Odo.

List Of Latinised Names
The Latinisation of names in the vernacular was a procedure deemed necessary for the sake of conformity by scribes and authors when incorporating references to such persons in Latin texts. The procedure was used in the era of the Roman Republic and Empire. It was used continuously by the Papacy from the earliest times, in religious tracts and in diplomatic and legal documents. It was used by the early European monasteries. Following the Norman Conquest of England, it was used by the Anglo-Norman clerics and scribes when drawing up charters. Its use was revived in the Renaissance when the new learning was written down in Latin and drew much on the work of Greek, Arabic and other non-Latin ancient authors. Contemporary Italian and European scholars also needed to be Latinised to be quoted in such treatises. The different eras produced their own styles and peculiarities. Sophistication was the trademark of the Renaissance Latinisers. The Anglo-Norman scribes on the other hand were n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
