Rural Devon Eight Hundred Years Ago: Some Mediaeval Charters

This is research that I started over fifty years ago, searching for mediaeval charters in Devon Record Office, the now defunct East Devon Record office, and the Exeter Dean and Chapter Archives. I was surprised to discover this handful of mediaeval charters, which gave remarkable glimpses into the people, landscape and farming of that time.
I am now in the process of arranging and writing up this material.

"The name Anketil was brought to England in the great wave of migration following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Anketil family lived in Anctiville, Normandy, in the diocese of Coutances. The Anketil family migrated to England in the 11th century, settling in the county of Dorset."

23. Elias 1 DE CAILLEWAY (Nicholas DE CHAILLEWAY , Phillip1 DE CHAILLEWAY , Philip , William , Guillame , Osbern ) was born in 1170. He died in Kellaways.
p. 33. fn1. Elyas de Kailleway appears in the Wilts Returns (Testa de Nevill, pp. 142 and 157) as joint holder of four fees under Elyas Giffard (IV), whose sister Berta he had married; two of them are said to be in Kaillewent, which looks as if the name were of territorial origin, though the "de" is often omitted. Perhaps it was derived from "Caillou," a flint, as it is occasionally spelt so. The spelling in fact was so various,--even sometimes in the same document, that no conclusion can be come to.

In KELLAWAYS Ellis de KAYLEWEY and Godfrey Scudamore had held two fees in 1243 of Ellis Giffard father of John.

So he and his sureties for prosecuting are in mercy, namely ELLIS of KELEWEY and WILLIAM of the same. [In 106 pge. 55 the hand of the scribe is different and the names are spelt WINELEFFCELDE and ELLIS of KAILLEWEY otherwise all else the same]

This reference does not fit anywhere. Did this Elias have two wives?

In 1238 Philip de Kaillewai killed Anketill de Dugheltone
(This is an old spelling of Dolton- so he is definitely a Muxbeare c/k).
>He avoided penalty in the North Tawton Eyre Court, by producing letters
"close to the King".

Canterbury.
Pardon to Philip Caillewey for the death of Anketil de Dughelton, on
condition that he make his peace with the relatives of the said Anketil and
stand his trial if anyone will proceed against him.
Mandate to the justices next in eyre in the county of Devon in their
eyre not to bring any suit against the said Philip for the said death, or
grieve him by reason of any verdict made before them by reason of the
said death ; on the above condition.—Clone.
You may remember that Anketil de Dughelton (Dolton) was one of the witnesses
to the Canonleigh Priory leases of Dowland and Dolton. It seems that he
came to grief at the hands of Nichols' son Philip.
