About Berengar de Tosny, of Belvoir

Not listed in FMG Medieval Lands database as a son of Robert I de Tosny and Adelisa FitzOsulf but indicated as such in some other sources (need references).



Berenger de Tosny's parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1063 which records the consent given by "Rotbertum de Toeniaco, avunculum domni Johanni monachinostri, filii Widonis de Valle" to the donations by the latter to Marmoutier, authorised by "Berengerius filius eius". Domesday Book records Berengar de Tosny holding land in Broughton and Horley, and "the same Berengar holds of Robert his father" in Bodicote, in Oxfordshire; "Berengar de Tosny" holding East Stoke, Syerston and land in Broadholme in Nottinghamshire; numerous properties in Yorkshire; West Allington in Lincolnshire. Berenger presumably died without direct heirs: many of the holdings which Domesday Book records in Lincolnshire in his and his father´s name were held in [1115/18] by his brother-in-law Robert de ´Isle (see below).

At the time of the Domesday Survey (1086) HENDERSKELFE (Hildreschelf, xi cent.; Hinderscogh, xiii cent.) in Yorkshire was in the hands of Berengar de Toni, who had a 'manor' and 4 carucates and three rent payers (censarios), the former tenant having been Torbrant. Berengar died without issue, and some of his lands here evidently passed to his sister Adeliza, who married Roger Bigod. (British History Online) However, Henderskelfe was given by King William Rufus to Sir Humphrey de Lascelles in the year 1087.
