• Notes

  Named in 1090, in the chartulary of St. Peter of Gloucester, and with his wife Ala and his son Helias, appears in 1121 in the same chartulary. Dead by 1130 when his son paid 100 marks for his relief [PR, 31 Henry I] According to the Gloucestershire Assize Roll, 5 Henry III [1221], an Elias Giffard of Brimsfield was sued by the Abbot of Cirencester for erecting a gallows at Brimsfield. which the Abbot claimed to be within his liberty. Elias Giffard defended his right to have a gallows, and stated that a certain Osbert Giffard, his ancester, who came at the Conquest of England, had held the Manor of Brimesfield, with a right of gallows, and had hanged thieves there, and after him Elias his son had had the same liberty and had hanged thieves there, and after him Elias the son of the said Elias and the father of the defendant, had held the same liberty and had hanged a thief there in the reign of King Henry, the King's grandfather. Elias, the defendant in this suit, died in 33 Henry III [1249], leaving a son John, aged 16 years. Cf. Wrottesley (Giffards, pp. 7. 8). who shows that the defendant in this suit, Elias Giffard, omitted the name of one of his ancestors, another Elias, and that there were four Eliases between Osbert and John.
