    3. Steve, further this post, I should note that Hugh de Berges is shown to be the father of Anketin de Berges who holds the church of Prestwold. Elias de Prestwald (aka: Helias de Prestwald) = Sibyl 'Elias filius Anketilli ' of Prestwald "Helias ,son of Anketil de Prestwald" Elias, the son of the aforesaid Anketin, confirmed his father's gift of the said church, together with its chapels, and 30 acres of land, in pure and perpetual alms, to the priory. Elias de Prestwold had issue two daughters who were his coheirs,Alice, the wife of John Poutrel, and Isabel, the wife of Thomas Hotoft. In the year 1254, (Elias being apparently dead) the aforesaid co-heirs and their husbands acknowledged, by a fine levied at Easter in that year, that the advowson of Prestwold church, as well as the chapels of Hoton, Cotes and Burton, was the right of the prior of Bullington, by the gift of Anketin, son of Hugh de Prestwold, the ancestor of the said Alice and Isabel, whose heirs they are. An Ivo de Prestwald, a son of Hugh de Berges II, also appears demonstrating that this family also carried some of this same names of the Despenser's (such as Elias and Ivo) who should be well known to other researches of the Despenser fmaily.
