Hugh le Scrope, Knight of Edward the Confessor - Edward the Confessor lond dead before 1103

Lol.

How indeed, given 1) the title didn't exist, 2) Edward the Confessor lived about 100 years before Hugh le Scrope, and 3) even if they had lived at the same time, Edward wouldn't have been in the business of knighting Norman knights.

I tried to figure out where that information came in from, and I cannot find the source.

But the source, what ever it was, is telling lies.

Fixed.

Also I'm mastering it, so that the Edward the Confessor suffix doesn't get added again.

thanks!

Oh!

I see how the mistake was made. It's his grandfather who was given land by Edward the Confessor -- NOT knighted -- even though he was Norman; this is recorded in the Domesday book.

Yeah.

No title, and not hereditary, if it was there.

Some land.

That's it.

Wolcott says of the grandfather "Built Richard's Castle in Herefordshire about 1048 as a baron of King Edward the Confessor".
