  "... The Bassets were the next Lords of Haseley.
  Ralph Basset was Justiciary to Henry I.
  Gilbert Basset, his son, 12 Henry II., was enfeoffed in seven knights' fees in the honour of Wallingford, "of "which, as I think," says Delafield, "Haseley was one." This Gilbert Basset sided with Maude against Stephen, being feudatory tenant to Brian FitzComit, Lord of Wallingford, who inclined to the same cause.
  Thomas Basset, his son, was Sheriff of Oxfordshire, ..."

   Note: page 152 The remaining incidents of his life may be comprised in the one hundred pound fine which he paid for leave to marry his daughter Eustace to Thomas de Verdon, a baron and lord of Heth, who shortly after died in Ireland; It is generally supposed that he died and was interred abroad in 1203; but his wife Egiline de Courteney survived him several years, and was buried in Bicester priory about 1213. On the death of Thomas de Verdon the guardianship of the young widow became a valuable prize to the possessor, and Gerard de Camvil, lord of Middleton, immediately gave one thousand pounds for this purpose and leave to marry her to his son Richard (A. D. 1200).
