B. BERKELEY (FITZHARDING)




1. EALDNOTH (-killed in battle Somerset 1068). Staller to King Edward the Confessor[567]. Florence of Worcester records that "Haroldi regis filii Godwinus, Eadmundus, Magnus" returned from Ireland and landed in Somerset where they were defeated,when "Eadnothus qui fuit Haroldi regis stallarius" was killed in the battle, in a passage which deals with events in mid-1068[568]. m ---. The name of Ealdnoth’s wife is not known. Ealdnoth & his wife had one child:

a) HARDING (-6 Nov after 1100). William of Malmesbury records that "Ednodus" (whose death he describes as above) was "pater Herdingi qui adhuc superest"[569]. As William of Malmesbury records events until 1142, it is possible that Harding survived considerably later than 1100, although it is of course not known when precisely the passage just quoted was written. ["…Herding…" witnessed the charter dated 1067 under which William I King of England donated property to the bishop of Wells[570]. Thechronology suggests that it is unlikely that this entry relates to the same person named Harding.] m ---. The name of Harding’s wife is not known. Harding & his wife had seven children:
