FELMERSHAM with RADWELL,

Nigel de Albini held RADWELL MANOR assessed at 7 hides 1½ virgates in 1086. Like 
the remainder of the Albini property it is subsequently found attached to the Cainhoe 
barony, last mention of the overlordship being found in 1428. Nigel Wast held this 
manor as tenant of Nigel de Albini at the time of Domesday, but by the 12th century it 
appears to have passed to a family who assumed Radwell as a surname, and 
continued to hold the manor for upwards of three hundred years. In 1197 Gilbert son 
of William recognized the right of Eustace Mordaunt to 1 virgate of land in Radwell 
which his father Osmund had held.

There is printed in Halstead's Succinct Genealogies (see below) the text of a charter 
by which Eustace de St. Gilles gave to his brother Osbert 'dictus le Mordaunt,' 
Radwell, which had been given to himself by the Conqueror as half a knight's fee. Mr. 
Round has denounced this charter as 'one of the most daring and successful 
concoctions intended to provide an ancient house with a Conquest pedigree' (J. H. 
Round, Peerage and Pedigree, i, 290).

NOTE: I assume that, even though there was no "Conquest pedigree", that Osbert le 
Mordaunt may have been a precursor of Osmund at Radwell??
