Previous Lords:
The Domesday record states that Bristei had held 1½ hides in Shefford of Edward the Confessor, but that Roger de Iveri was then holding it of the bishop. The overlordship of this with all Roger's other manors seems to have passed to the honour of St. Valery, which was granted to Richard Earl of Cornwall and Poitou, afterwards King of the Romans, who was holding it in the 13th century. After his death in 1272 the overlordship passed to his son Edmund, who died in 1300 seised of rents here, which passed with his other estates to the Crown.
