page 77 note * The Honor of the Eagle, during the eleventh and twelfth centuries, belonged to the family of L'Aigle, and was forfeited by Gilbert de Aquila in the reign of King John. It subsequently became the property of the Earls of Warren, from whom it passed to King Henry the Third, who conveyed it in 1240 to Peter de Savoy, the Queen's uncle, to hold during the King's pleasure. It was afterwards settled on the crown. The caput honoris was in Surrey or Sussex. An honor was the fee of an Earl, as a barony was the fee of a Baron.
page 77 note † The following is the Patent annexing it to the Crown : Rot. Patent. 53 Hen. III. m. 24.
