1 It has been doubted if Nos. 342 and 343 are of Lewes. They are all from the Leicester hoard which would lead one to expect them to be of Leicester or some mint not too far away, not of what seems to have been at this time a small mint in the extreme south of the country. Leicester, however, seems to have shut down at the end of Class A, and, though there was a ROD BERT coining at Leicester in the early "Tealby" type, these are of late

184a. Mr. R. Carlyon-Britton has a coin of Henry I, type IV, which reads clearly EOLBRANDONCISI. The spelling E1 SI had not been used for Chichester since the end of Cnut's reign and was never used again. Colbrand is not known as a moneyer of Chichester apart from this coin, though the extreme rarity of all the early types of Henry I reduces the force of this argument. The author has doubts of its attribution to Chichester. One might accept one of these difficulties but hardly both. Mr. F. Elmore Jones, however, accepts it as being of Chichester (see p. 652 of this volume) and one must give great weight to his knowledge of this period.

186. This coin of Henry I, type VII, should have been given as doubtful, since the initial cross and the second E are not clear. Norman Kings, p. ccxxiv, gives it as "mint uncertain, perhaps Chichester". Brand (or Brant) is not known of any other mint at this period.
