Walter and Rabod

1 Rotsea in the parish of Hutton Cranswick near Driffeld. Rents payable in fish were by no means unusual. At Coatham haddocks were the fish specified. Rotsea must have been famous for its eels. In the following charter, by which Walter de Bovintun grants land to his son Rabod, who occurs as a donor to the Canons of a bovate at Tibthorpe on p. 96, one of the rents is that of three hundred eels, payable to Peter de Brus, probably the ones assigned by him here to the Priory; "Walterus de Bovintun, cum assensu et concessu Willelmi, filii et haeredis mei . . . Rabodo, filio meo, duas bov. terrae in Rotese, scil. illam bov. terrae quam emi de Waltero Martin, cum tofto et omnibus pert., reddendo inde annuatim ccc anguillas ad perficiendam firmam Petri de Brus, et quatuor den. et obolum ad firmam Roberti de Dalton et Matildis xoris suae reddend., scil. ad Pascha Floridum; et alteram bov. terrae quam emi ab Willelmo de S.
