Notes

In 1086 1 hide (120 acres) in ADDERBURY was held of Robert of Stafford by one Robert. The overlordship descended in the Stafford family and in 1237 the estate, together with lands in Duns Tew, was held of the honor of Stafford as 1 fee of Mortain, owing the service of ½ knight. The Robert who was tenant in 1086 was very possibly Robert d'Oilly, for in 1166 Henry d'Oilly was mesne lord (In feudal law, an intermediate lord; a lord who stood between a tenant and the chief lord; a lord who was also a tenant)of the fee. The d'Oillys, moreover, were chief lords of a knight's fee in Duns Tew which included lands in Swerford and Adderbury. The Tew family were probably under-tenants of the Stafford fee in Adderbury by the reign of Henry I (1100-1135).

The first known member of the family is Joibert of Tew who was succeeded by his brother Hugh, probably the Hugh of Tew who was pardoned 30s. danegeld in Oxfordshire in 1130.

Hugh was succeeded by his son Walter, who held one fee of the honor of Stafford under Henry d'Oilly in 1166.

Walter was succeeded by his son Hugh, whose relict Iseult had received her dower in Adderbury and Tew by 1204.

Hugh's successor Walter was probably his nephew (or brother) He paid a fine to Aveline, relict of Osbert Longchamp, in 1208 and was still alive in 1218.

Walter's successor was his elder son Hugh. (fn. 334) In 1248 Hugh was pardoned for the murder of Laurence, Archdeacon of York, and he was still alive in 1253.

The last of the family to hold in Adderbury was another Hugh, possibly his son.
This Hugh settled his Adderbury estate on the marriage of Maud, one of his three daughters, to Roger de Lyons, but later recovered it in exchange for lands in Swerford. Between 1268 and 1270 Hugh sold it for £150 and an annual rent of 6d. to Nicholas of Weston, a merchant, who before his death in 1271 sold it to Oseney Abbey for 225 marks. His relict Emma and his son Adam quitclaimed the property before 1277, and the claims of Richard, son of Roger de Lyons, were defeated in 1288. Edward II confirmed the estate to Oseney in 1320, and the abbey held it until the Dissolution.
