JUHEL DE MAYENNE.

From Maine, a Breton noble who held vast baronies in Devonshire, 1086. He appears in Domesday as Judhel de Totenais (Totness), so styled from his barony of that name, the possessor also of Barnstaple, he was greatly esteemed by the Conqueror. This Juhel, son of an Alfred (Alvred, Alured), was father of Aiulf (Alfred), a Domesday, tenant-in-chief who held land under him before the conquest. This fortifies the conclusion of Juhel's presence at Senlac, and in addition, Testa de Neville affirms that Warin Fitz Juel held a knight's fee which had been granted to Judael de Mayenne by the earl of Mortain at the conquest. From whence the Jewells, and the lords of Newhaven. Delisle mistakenly takes Judael for a member of the family of Toeni. From Juhel descended Juhel de Meduana, who witnessed empress Matilda's charter to Geoffry de Mandeville.
