Notes

Weis" "Ancestral Roots. . ." (53:27).

Two points about ORABILE's rather unusual name deserve notice in

passing. The name occurs in French chansons de geste, both as a man's

name and as the name of a queen of Arabia, and the fact that NESS chose

to give it to his daughter is a reminder that French culture in the form of

popular literature was penetrating into Scotland in the first half of the

twelfth century. As Professor Graeme Ritchie has demonstrated so

amply, the Normans were not merely warrior-knights and they were

interested in more than legal concepts such as the knight's fee. The

later history of the name is equally interesting. It descended from

Orabile to her granddaughter, who was the daughter of SAHER DE QUINCY

IV, first earl of Winchester. This Orabile II married Richard de Harcourt

and passed the name on to her own granddaughter, the daughter of Alice

la Zouche. The first Orabile is apparently the first known holder of the

name, which does not occur regularly in England or Scotland until the

thirteenth century. It seems likely that she had at least a share,

through her marriage into the Quincy family, in popularising the name

and in transferring it from a Scoto-Norman context to an English

context: a significant if minor by-product of the international links of

one Anglo-Scottish family. The name ultimately became Arabella and in

this form remained popular in Scotland.
