  _____________________________
  
  Wido de St Maur, as we have seen, came over to England in 1066. He died before 1086, leaving a son William Fitz-Wido who held a barony in Somerset, Wilts, and Gloucester, and ten manors in Somerset. Most of this property he no doubt inherited from his father, who must have received them from the Conqueror, as there is no mention of either marrying an heiress. We may therefore conclude that Wido must have rendered some service to the Conqueror to merit such a reward.
  
  During the period immediately following the Conquest, when the country was still far from being settled down, very few records appear to have been kept or, if they were, they have for the most part been lost. It is not surprising therefore, that we should find but little mention of a private family. [Annals of the Seymours pp4-5]
