    Note: ¶In 1086 CASSINGTON was held of Odo of Bayeux by Wadard, who held two estates of 2 ½ hides each, and by Ilbert de Lacy, who held 6 hides. (fn. 37) One of Wadard's manors passed, with Cogges, to Mannasser Arsic, who held it in 1103. (fn. 38) Robert Arsic was overlord in 1212 and 1220, and in 1242 the manor was held of the Arsic fee. (fn. 39) In 1279 it was held of the Arsics' successor, Robert de Grey, but there is no further record of the overlordship and in 1320 the manor was held of the king in chief. (fn. 40) Wadard's second 2 ½ hide manor of CASSINGTON was held in 1235 of the honor of St. Valery. (fn. 64) Richard, king of the Romans, confirmed a grant of land in Cassington in 1270, and the overlordship was recorded again in 1279, 1300, and 1325. (fn. 65) In 1414 and 1490 the manor was said to be held of the honor of Wallingford. (fn. 66) ¶The mesne lordship of the manor, later 1 knight's fee, passed to Walkelin Wadard, apparently Wadard's son, and to Walkelin's daughter Helewise. It then passed to Helewise's son by her first marriage, Walkelin Hareng, and his coheirs, Stephen of Fritwell and John Brown, of whom the manor was held in 1247. (fn. 67) In 1279 it was held of Stephen's son Richard of Fritwell and William Brown, (fn. 68) but there is no later record of the mesne lordship. In the late 12th century the demesne tenants of half the fee were Helewise's daughter by her second marriage, Avice Avenel, and her husband Richard de Vernon (d. 1195), who gave the manor to William de Brai in marriage with their daughter Isabel
