He also held lands in Dorset. His Devonshire estates later formed part of the feudal barony of Gloucester.〔Thorn, part 2, chap 24〕 ==Origins== He is believed to have originated at any one of the manors called Claville or Clasville in the Duchy of Normandy, namely:〔Thorn, part 2, chap 24〕 *Claville near Evreux〔Hutchins' Dorset (quoted by Cleveland): "Which of the places in Normandy called Claville gave name to this family has not been discovered, but there is a village of that name in the Campagne de Neubourg, a little to the west of Evreux, from which it is rather more probable they sprung than from Claville Motteville in the arrondissement of Rouen, mentioned as their original seat, because a great majority of the followers of the Conqueror were drawn from that part of the Duchy that lies Southwards of the river Seine.〕 *Claville-Motteville near Yvetot *Clasville near Cany Barville His brother was Gotshelm, also a Devonshire tenant-in-chief, whose estates also later formed part of the feudal barony of Gloucester.〔Thorn, 2, chap 24; Gotshelm's estates listed in Thorn, 2, chap 25〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walter de Claville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
