General Notes

In 1086 Roger de Moles was undertenant of Baldwin FitzGilbert C. Brionne, Sheriff of Devon.  Meules was the caput of Baldwin's Norman barony, whence he himself was often known as Baldwin de Meulles.  Roger de Moles may well have been the ancestor of the later family of Moels, of which an account is given in The Complete Peerage, new edition, vol ix, p. 1.  [Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Families]

In 1086 Roger de Moles held Lew Trenchard, Teigin in Ashton, Waddlescot and Pennycot, of Baldwin the sheriff, which lands, with others held by Roger, were held by John de Molis in 1242 of John de Curtenay of the manor of Okehampton.  [Complete Peerage, IX:1 (b)]
