  Juhel de Totnes (died 1123/30) (alias Juhel fitz Alfred, Juhel de Mayenne,[1] Judel, Judhel, Judael, Judhael, Joel, Judhel de Totenais), Latinised to Judhellus filius Aluredi, "Juhel son of Alured") was a soldier and supporter of William the Conqueror (1066-1087). He was the first feudal baron of Totnes and feudal baron of Barnstaple, both in Devon.
  
  Origins
  He originated either in Brittany or in Mayenne, in the Pays de la Loire/Maine, as his surname of de Mayenne given in an early charter suggests. He was the son of a certain Alfred, Latinised to Aluredus,[2] expressed in Anglo-Norman French as fitz Alfred (i.e. Latin filius, modern French fils de, "son of"). He had a brother named Robert (Latin: Rotbertus) named in the foundation charter of Totnes Priory, c. 1087.
  
  Career
  In 1069 Juhel was one of the leaders of the Breton forces on the Norman side, fighting against the remaining forces that had been loyal to King Harold.[3] He had been granted by William the Conqueror the feudal barony of Totnes, Devon, and held many manors in south-west England, at the time of the Domesday Book of 1086, including Clawton, Broadwood Kelly, Bridford and Cornworthy.[4][5][6][7] However, Barry Cunliffe names him as one of two Breton noblemen who held land in England prior to Norman Conquest.[8]
  
  In about 1087, he founded Totnes Priory. He was expelled from the barony of Totnes shortly after the death of King William I in 1087. According to the historian Frank Barlow (1983), King William II "replaced the Breton Judhel, whom he expelled from Totnes at the beginning of his reign for an unknown reason, with his favourite, Roger I of Nonant".[9] However at some time before 1100 Juhel was granted the large feudal barony of Barnstaple, Devon.[10]
  
  Progeny
  Juhel had two daughters; also a son named Alfred who died without progeny before 1139.[11] Alfred's two sisters, one of whom was called Aenor while the name of the other is unknown, were his co-heiresses, each inheriting a moiety of the barony of Barnstaple. The unnamed sister married Henry de Tracy[12] whilst Aenor married Philip de Braose (d. 1134/55), feudal baron of Bramber, Sussex and a Marcher Lord.[13] son of William I de Braose (d. 1093/6). In 1206 Juhel's great-grandson William III de Braose (1140/50-1211) regained control of half the barony of Totnes.[14]
  
  Death
  Juhel was still living in 1123 but had died before 1130.[15]

  Juhel, Johel, or Judhel, of Totnes, was himself the son of an Alfred,and was succeeded by his son Alfred, who joined Baldwin de Redvers inhis defense of the castle of Exeter in 1136.
  An early authority alleges that after the death of the Conqueror,William Rufus expelled Juhel from Totnes and gave his inheritance toRoger deNonant; but Juhel was certainly lord of both Barnstaple andTotnes in 1113, though it is possible that Nonant may have been inpossession of Totnes under him; for in 1123, whilst Johel still heldBarnstaple Guy de Nonant apparently held Totnes. Henry I musttherefore have given Totnes or approved its transfer to Roger deNonant some time before 1123; but not until he had previously grantedthe castle, together with the manor of Cornworthy and Loddiswell, toReginald de Braosse. Roger de Nonant was succeeded by his sons Guy,Henry and Roger ii, in succession ... A claim was then put forward tothe tenement by William de Braose, a descendant of Juhel's daughter,resulting in a partition, effected in 1206.

  TOTNES DEVON
  The estates which Juhel de Totnes held in Domesday Book later formedpart of the barony of Totnes.[4.89] It is stated that when William theConqueror died, in 1087, Juhel was expelled from Totnes, which wasgranted by William II to Roger I de Nonant. This finds support fromthe fact that in 1091 Roger's gift of the church of St. Mary, Totnes,to the abbey of SS. Sergius and Bacchus, Angers, was confirmed by theking; this was confirmed by King Henry I in 1102-5.[5.89]

Itis claimed that Juhel was lord of Totnes in 1113, but the evidence ofthe connexion (sic) of Roger de Nonant with this town at the end ofthe eleventh century casts doubt on the truth of this claim (_FeudalEngland_, p. 486, no. 4).
  
  Part II Probable Baronies, p. 104
  BARNSTAPLE DEVON
  The estates which Geoffrey de Mowbray, bishop of Countances, held whenDomesday Book was compiled formed the basis of the barony ofBarnstaple.[4.104] Geoffrey d. 1093, his lands passed to his nephewRobert de Mowbray, Earl of Northumberland, who lost his estates whenhe rebelled in 1095. The great majority of the lands in Devon passedto Juhel, Domesday lord of Totnes, some time before 1100.[5.104] Juhelwas living in 1123 but he d. ante 1130 when he was followed by his sonAlfred who d.s.p. ante 1139[6.104] possibly leaving an unnamed SISTERand a sister called Aenor.

  The _Guido de Totteneyes_ of this charter seems to be identical withthe _Wido de Nunant_ of the charter granted by Henry II. to thispriory. This conjecture is confirmed by the entry in the Pipe Roll of31 Hen. I.: 'Wido de Nunant reddit comp. de x. marcis pro concessioneferie de Totneis' (p. 154). There is a story quoted by Dugdale, underTotnes priory, from the records of the abbey of Angers, that Juhel 'ofTotnes,' the Domesday baron, was expelled by William Rufus, and hislands given to Rogert de Nunant. I certainly find Roger de Nonantattesting in 1091 the foundation charter of Salisbury Cathedral inconjunction with William fitz Baldwin (see pp. 330, 472); and Manorsbelonging to Juhel in 1086 are found afterwards belonging toValletort, Nonant's successor, as part of his honour of Totnes. But itwould seem that Juhel retained part as the honour of Barnstaple, whilethe Nonants held the rest as the honour of Totnes. Indeed, he musthave held both _capita_ so late as 1113, when, say the monks of Laon,'venimus ad castrum, quod dicitur Bannistaplum, ubi manebat quidamprinceps nomine Joellus de Totenes,' etc. (_Hermannus_, ii. 17),adding that they afterwards visited Totnes 'præfati principis castrum:(_ibid._ 18).

  At some time before his death in 1100 King William II re-granted the barony of Barnstaple to Juhel de Totnes (died 1123/30), a Breton formerly feudal baron of Totnes, from which barony the king had expelled him after the death of his father William the Conqueror in 1087. In about 1107, Juhel, who had already founded Totnes Priory, founded Barnstaple Priory, of the Cluniac order, dedicated to St Mary Magdalene.[2] Juhel's son and heir was Alfred de Totnes, who died sine prole some time before 1139, leaving two sisters as his co-heiresses each to a moiety of the barony: Aenor and a sister whose name is unknown.

  Juhel, Johel, or Judhel, of Totnes, was himself the son of an Alfred,and was succeeded by his son Alfred, who joined Baldwin de Redvers inhis defense of the castle of Exeter in 1136.
  An early authority alleges that after the death of the Conqueror,William Rufus expelled Juhel from Totnes and gave his inheritance toRoger deNonant; but Juhel was certainly lord of both Barnstaple andTotnes in 1113, though it is possible that Nonant may have been inpossession of Totnes under him; for in 1123, whilst Johel still heldBarnstaple Guy de Nonant apparently held Totnes. Henry I musttherefore have given Totnes or approved its transfer to Roger deNonant some time before 1123; but not until he had previously grantedthe castle, together with the manor of Cornworthy and Loddiswell, toReginald de Braosse. Roger de Nonant was succeeded by his sons Guy,Henry and Roger ii, in succession ... A claim was then put forward tothe tenement by William de Braose, a descendant of Juhel's daughter,resulting in a partition, effected in 1206. One moiety calledspecifically the honor of Totten was awarded to William de Braose,together with 28 fees, whilst Henry de Nonant retained the othermoiety, including Harberton, also with 28 fees.'

  TOTNES DEVON
  The estates which Juhel de Totnes held in Domesday Book later formedpart of the barony of Totnes.[4.89] It is stated that when William theConqueror died, in 1087, Juhel was expelled from Totnes, which wasgranted by William II to Roger I de Nonant. This finds support fromthe fact that in 1091 Roger's gift of the church of St. Mary, Totnes,to the abbey of SS. Sergius and Bacchus, Angers, was confirmed by theking; this was confirmed by King Henry I in 1102-5.[5.89]
  [4.89] _V.C.H. Devon_, i, pp. 467-79. He is also called Juhel fitzAlfred or Juhel de Mayenne (_Monasticon_, iv, p. 630; idem, v, p. 198;_Regesta_, ii, no. 1391).
  [5.89] Idem, no. 735a, p. 400; _Monasticon_, iv, p. 630. Roger Iwitnessed royal deeds in 1091, 1096, and in the first decade of thetwelfth century (_Regesta_, i, nos. 319, 377; idem, ii, _passim_). Itis claimed that Juhel was lord of Totnes in 1113, but the evidence ofthe connexion (sic) of Roger de Nonant with this town at the end ofthe eleventh century casts doubt on the truth of this claim (_FeudalEngland_, p. 486, no. 4).
  
  Part II Probable Baronies, p. 104
  BARNSTAPLE DEVON
  The estates which Geoffrey de Mowbray, bishop of Countances, held whenDomesday Book was compiled formed the basis of the barony ofBarnstaple.[4.104] Geoffrey d. 1093, his lands passed to his nephewRobert de Mowbray, Earl of Northumberland, who lost his estates whenhe rebelled in 1095. The great majority of the lands in Devon passedto Juhel, Domesday lord of Totnes, some time before 1100.[5.104] Juhelwas living in 1123 but he d. ante 1130 when he was followed by his sonAlfred who d.s.p. ante 1139[6.104] possibly leaving an unnamed SISTERand a sister called Aenor.
  [4.104] _V.C.H. Devon_, i, pp. 418-29; Gams, p. 542. The major part ofthe town of Barnstaple was in the king's hands, but the bishop andBaldwin de Brionne, lord of Okehampton, also had interests there(_V.C.H. Devon_, i, pp. 406, 429, 467).

  The _Guido de Totteneyes_ of this charter seems to be identical withthe _Wido de Nunant_ of the charter granted by Henry II. to thispriory. This conjecture is confirmed by the entry in the Pipe Roll of31 Hen. I.: 'Wido de Nunant reddit comp. de x. marcis pro concessioneferie de Totneis' (p. 154). There is a story quoted by Dugdale, underTotnes priory, from the records of the abbey of Angers, that Juhel 'ofTotnes,' the Domesday baron, was expelled by William Rufus, and hislands given to Rogert de Nunant. I certainly find Roger de Nonantattesting in 1091 the foundation charter of Salisbury Cathedral inconjunction with William fitz Baldwin (see pp. 330, 472); and Manorsbelonging to Juhel in 1086 are found afterwards belonging toValletort, Nonant's successor, as part of his honour of Totnes. But itwould seem that Juhel retained part as the honour of Barnstaple, whilethe Nonants held the rest as the honour of Totnes. Indeed, he musthave held both _capita_ so late as 1113, when, say the monks of Laon,'venimus ad castrum, quod dicitur Bannistaplum, ubi manebat quidamprinceps nomine Joellus de Totenes,' etc. (_Hermannus_, ii. 17),adding that they afterwards visited Totnes 'præfati principis castrum:(_ibid._ 18).

   Note: Juhel de Totnes (died 1123/30) (alias Juhel fitz Alfred, Juhel de Mayenne,[1] Judel, Judhel, Judael, Judhael, Joel, Judhel de Totenais), Latinised to Judhellus filius Aluredi, "Juhel son of Alured") was a soldier and supporter of William the Conqueror (1066–1087). He was the first feudal baron of Totnes and feudal baron of Barnstaple, both in Devon. Origins He originated either in Brittany or in Mayenne, in the Pays de la Loire/Maine, as his surname of de Mayenne given in an early charter suggests. He was the son of a certain Alfred, Latinised to Aluredus,[2] expressed in Anglo-Norman French as fitz Alfred (i.e. Latin filius, modern French fils de, "son of"). He had a brother named Robert (Latin: Rotbertus) named in the foundation charter of Totnes Priory, c. 1087. Career In 1069 Juhel was one of the leaders of the Breton forces on the Norman side, fighting against the remaining forces that had been loyal to King Harold.[3] He had been granted by William the Conqueror the feudal barony of Totnes, Devon, and held many manors in south-west England, at the time of the Domesday Book of 1086, including Clawton, Broadwood Kelly, Bridford and Cornworthy.[4][5][6][7] However, Barry Cunliffe names him as one of two Breton noblemen who held land in England prior to Norman Conquest.[8] In about 1087, he founded Totnes Priory. He was expelled from the barony of Totnes shortly after the death of King William I in 1087. According to the historian Frank Barlow (1983), King William II "replaced the Breton Judhel, whom he expelled from Totnes at the beginning of his reign for an unknown reason, with his favourite, Roger I of Nonant".[9] However at some time before 1100 Juhel was granted the large feudal barony of Barnstaple, Devon.[10] Progeny Juhel had two daughters; also a son named Alfred who died without progeny before 1139.[11] Alfred's two sisters, one of whom was called Aenor while the name of the other is unknown, were his co-heiresses, each inheriting a moiety of the barony of Barnstaple. The unnamed sister married Henry de Tracy[12] whilst Aenor married Philip de Braose (d. 1134/55), feudal baron of Bramber, Sussex and a Marcher Lord.[13] son of William I de Braose (d. 1093/6). In 1206 Juhel's great-grandson William III de Braose (1140/50–1211) regained control of half the barony of Totnes.[14] Death Juhel was still living in 1123 but had died before 1130.[15]
