Previous Lords:
In 1086 Hugh held of William de Ow 5 hides of land at CHARLTON (Cerleton, xi cent.; Schorleyton, Cherleton, xiii cent.) which had belonged in the time of King Edward to Alestan de Boscumbe. William de Ow forfeited all his possessions in 1096 and the fee passed to the Earls Marshal, being held by Eleanor Countess of Pembroke and her second husband Simon de Montfort about 1238. On the death of the Countess of Pembroke in 1275 most of her estates were divided among the heirs of the last Earl Marshal, and these were returned as holding the overlordship of Charlton in 1275–6. It must have been ultimately assigned to Isabel wife of Gilbert de Clare, and followed the descent of the Haverings' fee at Enborne (q.v.) to the Earls of Stafford.
