Observations.-There is ample evidence of the existence of successive heads of this family in England from the time of Domesday; but exactly how many Huberts there were before 1164 and their interrelationships remain matter of conjecture. Nothing in the following observations conflicts with the evidence obtained for the purpose of this article; probability is the most that can be claimed for the suggestions they contain.
HUBERT DE MUNCHENSY (de Monte Caniso) in 1086 held in Suffolk Wyverstone of the King in chief, and of Robert Malet Bromeswell, Staverton and Edwardstone, which he made his chief seat; in Essex he held Stanstead. Hubert de Munchensy was the first witness to the charter of Robert Malet founding the priory of Eye, to which Hubert gave his land at Yaxley. Hubert de Munchensy was a benefactor to Thetford Abbey, and witnessed a charter of the founder of that house, which was confirmed by the King, probably in September 1107.
