The Hundreds
Source:M. F. Wakelin, Languageand History in Cornwall(Leicester, 1975), p. 39.
Comital-ducal power was spread across Cornwall’s nine hundreds: Eastwivelshire(East), Kerrier, Lesnewth, Penwith, Powdershire, Pydershire
Stratton, Triggshire, and Westwivelshire(West).207 The earldom-duchy held eight and one-third of these, with the remaining two-thirds of Penwith in the possession of the Arundells of Lanherne.208
In 1334, Michael Trenewith the elder mainprised Odo de St Colan, bailiff of Penwith, guaranteeing that Odo would faithfully serve the king and John Arundell, chief bailiff, paying the profits of the hundredal court as fully as the sheriff or Arundell required.222Penwith’s profits, then, went to the Arundells and the earldom-duchy, but as the sheriff and steward were indivisible until 1376 both the king and earl-duke in practice oversaw the hundreds of Cornwall. From 1377 to 1399, moreover, the lordship was vested in the Crown itself, as it had been on many occasions since 1300.
In 1358, John Polper, the bailiff of Penwith and Kerrier, allegedly employed his office to abduct Philip de Caerhays.169Criminality arising from tinning spread into the rest of Cornwall, as many proprietors had tinning interests.
Edward III had also partitioned the duchy in 1376, granting a third of its revenues to Richard’swidowed mother, Princess Joan.157The princess often called upon her son’s government in the peninsula, also seeking to influence its personnel when she secured the appointmentof her own receiver, Sir William Brantingham, to the receivership of the duchy. On her death in 1385, however, her lands in Cornwall reverted to Richard himself.
By 1404 the king had returned all these lands to his son and heir, Henry of Monmouth, duke of Cornwall, who was later to rule both the lordship and the realm as Henry V. Monmouth came to relyon Sir John Arundell of Lanherne as his steward in the county, and heheld this post from 1402 to 1430, tying the county into the politics and patronageof Lancastrian England.
Nanfan evidently had some administrative abilities, and promotion was to follow when in 1362 the prince granted him the hundred of Penwith and in 1371 appointed him feodary.40
Sir Robert Tresilian... perhaps supported his colleague Penrose, for Penrose mainprised him in 1385 when he leased Penwith.91
Similarly, in 1313 Sir John Wylinton leased to Sir Thomas l’Ercedekne the lands and wardship of John Arundell, prerogatives which had come into his hands on account of Arundell holding part of the manor of Conerton by knight’s service of Wylinton.6Richard Germyn even wrote to his employer, William Stoner; ‘as to your tenaunts in Cornwale, thei be as trew unto you as y can understond as any tenauntes that ye have’.7All these lords brought about movements of people and news, while depending upon the king’s law and royal administration to manage their distant patrimonies.8
