Emma was a step d/o Hugh Fichet & Basilea ?.
G.E.G. Malet, writing in 1938-9 in “The Genealogist”
magazine, argues that the Latin terms used in a deed of land in which Baldwin
describes Hugh Fichet as his father and Basilea as his mother could equally be
interpreted as meaning “Father-In-Law” and “Mother-In-Law. Emma, heiress to the
Enmore Estates [which is in conflict with the 1155 record of Avice], held by
her mother Basilea in her own right. (S) Sir A.M.'s MSS., Vol. II, P45. [The
other theory that Hugh Fichet was really a Malet that changed his name while
hiding from the King is more interesting, but much less likely to be true.]
·
After the first deed Baldwin adopted the seal
which was affixed to a 2nd existing deed, which must have been
executed at a later period. The seal to this deed is very large; on the one
side a man, armed with sword and shield, on foot, armored head to foot, with
his sword in this right hand, striking at a lion leaping upon him; on the
other, two men in gowns talking together, the one having a crown on his head.
The circumscription, “Sigillum Baldwini Malet”. The explanation of this seal is
that it symbolised the rebellion of William Malet [his ancestor] on the one
side, and the reconciliation of the King to Baldwin Malet on the other. (S) Sir
A. M.'s MSS., Vol. I, Sup. 1, P3.
