HISTORY OF THE BAGOT FAMILY from Collections for a History of Staffordshire, Volume 2.

THE family of Bagot is one of the few which can claim an authentic Domesday ancestor — Bagod, who held Bramshall in 1086, being the undoubted progenitor of all the numerous Bagots of a later date. Domesday gives the following account of his holding. Under the heading of TERRA ROBERTI DE STATFORD, in Tatemaneslau Hundred, it says : " Ipse R. (i.e., Robert de Stafford) tenet in BRANSELLE unam virgatam terre, cujus vcro medietas est Regis sicut via eain dividit sed R. eandem partem regis invasit et sc defensorem facit. Bagod tenet de eo. Ulviet tenuit et liber homo fuit. Terra est iij carucate in dominio cst una et ij servi Ibi sunt iiij villani et i bordarius cum i carucata. Silva dimidia leuva longa et iiij quarentena lata. Valet xx solidos." This translated would be — " Robert de Stafford holds in Branselle a virgate of land, but the moiety of it belongs to the King, as the road divides it, but Robert had taken possession of the whole and defended his title to it. Bagod held it of Robert. Ulviet formerly held it as a freeman. The arable land is three carucates (or ploughlands) : one is in demesne, and there are two serfs. There are four villein tenants and one boor with one carucate. There are 240 acres of wood1 and it is worth 20s." The moiety of the manor claimed by the Crown was sub sequently severed from it and added to Uttoxeter, an adjoining manor which had fallen to the King as an escheat of the Mercian 1 This is Eyton's computation.
