Original spelling, even where inconsistent, and punctuation have been preserved. Minor typographical errors have been corrected without note. Except for those in the "Genealogy of the Norman Dukes", every occurrence of A. D. (Anno Domini) has been standardised to a.d. Typographical errors corrected in the text (in brackets the original):
