"held five tenements in Sow of the Earl of Chester, by the service of
conducting the said earl towards the king's court through the midst of
the forest of Cannock, meeting him at Rotford bridge upon his coming,
and at Hopwas bridge on his return. In which forest the earl might, if
he pleased, kill a deer at his coming, and another at his going back:
giving unto Loges each time he should so attend him a barbed arrow.
Hugo de Loges granted to William Bagot all his lands in Sow, to hold of
him the said Hugo and his heirs, by the payment of a pair of white
gloves at the feast of St. Michael yearly."--Dugdale.
Bigod de Loges had two sons, Hugo and Odardus:
"Odardus de Loges was infeoffed by Ranulphus de Meschines, Earl of
Chester, in the baronies of Stanyton, Wigton, Doudryt, Waverton,
Blencoyd, and Kirkbride, in the county of Cumberland; and the said
Odardus built Wigton church and endowed it. He lived until King John's
time. Henry I. confirmed the grant of the barony to him, by which it is
probable that he lived a hundred years. He had issue Adam. Adam had
issue Odard, the lord, whose son and heir, Adam the Second, died
without issue, and Odard the Fourth likewise," &c.--Denton's _MS._
