Henry of Molle

HENRY OF MOLLE

Henr de Molle; Henrico d Molle; Henr d Molle

It has been suggested that Henry of Molle may be the same person as Henry son of Anselm, alias Henry of Carmunock, and that his father may be Anselm of Wichetune, who was also a landowner at Molle in Roxburghshire, but evidence is wanting. [The Anglo Norman Era in Scottish History. By G. W. S. Barrow: notes 18-20 on pp. 65-6]
