Manor of SOMERTON,

In 1086 Odo of Bayeux and Miles Crispin shared the lordship of SOMERTON. Odo held 
9 hides, while Miles held two small estates of 1 hide each. The latter had been held 
before the Conquest by Brictric and Ketel, a Dane, but in 1086 Rainald Wadard or 
Waard was the undertenant of all three estates. Wadard was closely associated with 
Odo of Bayeux. He appears in the Bayeux tapestry and was the latter's tenant in 
several neighbouring Oxfordshire villages besides holding lands of him in five other 
counties. After Odo's banishment his Somerton lands appear tohave been granted to 
Manasses Arsic, thus becoming a part of the Barony of Cogges. On Miles Crispin's 
death his Somerton estates were added to the Arsiclands.

Throughout the 12th century Somerton remained united and followed the Arsic 
descent, until in 1230 Robert Arsic died leaving two coheiresses, Joan and Alexandra, 
between whom the barony was divided. Joan was successively wife of Eustace de 
Grenvile and of Stephen Simeon, and Alexandra married Thomas de la Haye. Each 
held half of the manor, which remained divided until the 16th century.

Sybil de Crevequer, Robert Arsic's widow, held lands in Somerton in dower, but was 
dead by 1245, for in that year Stephen Simeon and Joan conveyed their share of the 
manor to Walter, son of Robert de Grey, in exchange for land at Cornwell and 
200marks. From: 'Parishes: Somerton', A History of the County of Oxford: Volume 6
