        King William sought aggressive types for the office of sheriff whoseambitions were consisten t with his. Those willing to squeeze the peasantsto their maximum were the best qualified i n William's eyes. He institutedthe practice of selling the office to the highest bidder. Thi s broughtforth evil men willing to pay exorbitant prices for the office and thenwilling to d o whatever it took to recoup their investment. . . No onespoke out for the peasantry becaus e their only representative to the kingwas the very sheriffs embezzling them. The most notori ous was Picot,Sheriff of Cambridgeshire. . . . Monks describe him as:

        "a hungry lion, a prowling wolf, a crafty fox, a filthy swine, a dogwithout shame, who stuffe d his belly like an insatiable beast as thoughthe whole country were a single corpse."

        Note: I assume that the above quote refers to Robert Fitz Picot, since hewas in Camberidgeshi re at the time of William the Conqueror.

        Eyton Pedigree given to me by Archives of England while researching the De Eyton familyof Shropshire.

      • Citation:

        The De Eyton Pedigree is hand written, lettering very small some hard to read and places are completely black by over overexpose when copied. Noticed that the De (meaning of) was dropped from the Eyton name at Humphery Eyton abt 1345 when he became ranger of the forest, his brother John Eaton was sheriff in 1394. My plan here is to preserve this pedigree by placing it on Family Search as I research the family , in hopes to connect to the Eaton family of Cheshire, England, and those Eaton's who migrated to America.
