  Source Par Berwickshire Naturalists' Club (Scotland).:
  "... I do not find Belford mentioned in any record previous to the time of King Henry the 1st.
  That monarch enfeoffed Robert de Muschampe of this and 24 other Manors, which constituted the Barony of Muschampe, or De Musco Campo, held of the King, in Capite, by the service of 4 Knight's Fees, of ancient enfeoffment.
  Cecily, his daughter, was his heir, and she married Stephen de Bulmer, and in the reign of Henry the 2nd, this Barony was enjoyed by him, in her right, until his death, as appears by the return in the Black Book of the Exchequer.-i (Hodgson's Northumberland, part 3, vol. 3, page 303J
  Then his widow continued in possession till her death, 26 Hen. 2nd [!] ..."

  === England under the Norman and Angevin kings, 1075-1225 ===
  ... Robert de Muschamps, lord of Wooler in Northumberland, was eventually succeeded by his daughter Cecily, who is referred to in the Pipe Roll of 1179-80 as 'Cecily de Muschamps*. She married Stephen de Bulmer, who answered for the Muschamps estates in the survey of knights' fees of 1166. Their son Thomas occurs as 'Thomas, son of Stephen de Bulmer*, but also as 'Thomas de Muschamps' and his son, Robert, succeeding in 1190, is known as 'Robert de Muschamps'. Thomas thus assumed the surname not of the paternal but of the maternal line, the ancestors who had provided the bulk of the estates."
