_The Barons of Hugh Lupus_.--It appears by the charter foundation to the
abbey of St. Werburge at Chester, that several very eminent persons held
the rank of Baron, under Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester. The charter is signed
by the earl himself and by the following barons: Richard, son of Hugh
Lupus; Hervey, Bishop of Bangor; Ranulph de Meschines, nephew of the earl;
Roger Bigod, Alan de Perci, William Constabular, Ranulph Dapifer, William
Malbanc, Robert Fitz-Hugh, Hugh Fitz-Norman, Hamo de Masci, and Bigod de
Loges. {88}
Can any of your readers inform us what befel the families and descendants
of William Malbanc, and Bigod de Loges? The descendants of the rest are too
well authenticated to need inquiry.
