XXVII.— RALPH DE LIMESI.

Ralph de Limesi, a relation of Robert de Limesi, Bishop of Litchfield and Coventry, was a Norman Baron, and, according to some accounts, nephew to the Conqueror, although Dugdale makes no mention of such a relationship. William bestowed upon him forty-onemanors in England, besides the lands of his wife Christina, one of the sisters of Prince Edgar Atheling, grandson of King Edmund Ironside, who was brother to Edward the Confessor. Ralph de Limesi founded at Hertford a priory of Benedictine monks, subordinate to the Abbey of St. Alban's, in the time of Abbot Paul, who died in the year 1093. In Norfolk, Ralph de Limesi held only two manors, which were valued, both in the Confessor's and in the Conqueror's time, at £6.
