1 NOTE Called in the Exchequer Domesday Robert and in the Exon Domesday by his official title Robert the Constable, he is sometimes mentioned by his personal name Robert Fitz Ivo. He held extensive domains in the western counties as part of the
2 CONC Honour of Mortain at the time of Domesday. In Somerset he held the manors of Hache (now Hache Beauchamp), Babcary, Stoche (now Bechen Stoke in the parish of Chewstoke), another Stoche or Stochet (now Stoke-under-Hamdon), Sock (Sock Denys),
2 CONC Merston (now Marston Magna), Crawecombe (Crowcombe), and Prestiton in Milverton. He also held properties in Dorset and Devon. The Honour of Mortain was forfeited to the Crown by the attainder of William the Second Earl and these manors were no
2 CONC longer held of a mesne Lord, but directly of the King in capite, per Baroniam, and since they all were in the tenure or seigniory of the Beauchamps, there is every reason to suppose that he was the family ancestor.
