The manor of HAMPSTEAD was held of King Edward the Confessor by Edward, and in 1086 Hugh the steersman held it of the king. In the 14th century the manor of Hampstead Marshall was claimed as their chief manor by the Marshals of England. It is returned about 1241 as held de marescangia, in 1270 as held by the service of the marshal's wand, and in 1283–4 per serjanciam mareschallic. In 1306, however, it is said to be held by knight service, and Mr. Round expresses a doubt as to whether the marshalship was ever really held by serjeanty in connexion with the manor of Hampstead Marshall, as this manor is not returned among the recognized Berkshire serjeanties.
