Three words 1611
« on: Tuesday 19 December 17 20:13 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know what the abbreviation here that looks like 'Copp' is please? It appears quite often. The first time it looks more like an 'E' at the beginning of the word, but subsequent ones look more like a 'C'
Copyhold?

Also the word starting with In....... before the Duke of Buckingham.
And the word starting with A........

William Earle of Darby holdeth to him and his heires in fee simple
the Copp    of Bosley within the Forrest of Macclesfield sometyme the
Ins........        of the Duke of Buckingham of the yearely rent of

xlv li xj s vij d to him the said Earle.  In which said Copp  the
said Earle and his A..........  have usually kept a Court Baron


Many thanks

I think the "in" word is Inherytance and the "a" word Ancestors (with contractions). I'm not sure about Copp, but copyhold does sound feasible,

On second thoughts, are you sure it is a capital "C" - it looks very similar to the "E" in Earle

Perhaps the Lo(rdshi)pp of Bosley, though admittedly it doesn't look much like L.

I think the reference is to a COPYHOLD TENURE...a manorial land tenure.

It had the forms of Copyhold of Inheritance and Copyhold for Lives, according to W'pedia... :)

It looks more like an "l" in the second extract. Could you compare it to other initial l's in the document?

I'm certain it is Lo(rdshi)pp/lo(rdshi)pp, as Bookbox and Ray have said.

Although the section of this document may well be about a particular copyhold or leasehold landholding, the reference to fee simple above tells us that the name following is that of the manor of which the particular copyhold or leasehold is a part.

It is usual in referring to landholdings at this time to trace the possession back to the fee simple, presumably because the only possession title superior to the fee simple is that of the monarch.

I have attached a snip from the PCC will of Francis Fitton (1608), which also refers to Bosley as a Lordship.

EDITED:  for accuracy.

Many thanks everyone for your input.  :)
It looks like Lordship it is then. Thanks HD for finding that.
Is it a will you have, or have just managed to find, perhaps on Ancestry?
I shall have to take a look at it. I see it goes on to mention Sutton, Winckle, and what looks like the start of 'Maxfield' - the old name for Macclesfield. All places of my ancient ancestors. Very interesting.
