    1. [SXP] rapes versus baronies
    2. Rod Blaker
    3. dear list, I have ancestors in the first subsidies of the rapes of Lewes and Bramber; (late 13th and early 14th centuries.) Can someone say: are "rapes" co-terminus with "Baronies" ? I know there was a Rape and as well a Barony and Honor of Lewes; was there also one of Bramber? Do these two rapes abut or were my ancestors so annoying as to "skip" over a rape or a barony ? And can anyone say where would would look for the property rolls of these rapes or baronies? Thank you. Rod Blaker
