'Parishes: Brompton Ralph', A History of the County of Somerset. www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=117128 Frithogyth, wife of King Aethelheard, gave 5 hides at Brompton to Glastonbury Abbey c. 729. By 1066 the abbey had lost the estate to Brictric. William I granted it to William de Mohun, of whose honor of Dunster it was held until 1627 or later. William's tenant in 1086 was Turgis. In 1166 the estate was almost certainly one of the 5½ fees held by William son of Durand (d. before 1194) under William de Mohun. Ralph, son of William and grandson of Durand, who gave his name to the estate to distinguish it from Brompton Regis, married Yolande, sister of his overlord William de Mohun, and secured a remittance of scutage from his estate at Brompton. Ralph, who may have been dead by 1212, had three daughters: Lucy, wife of William Malet, Hilary, wife of John FitzUrse, and Isabel, wife successively of Hugh Peverel and of Nicholas FitzMartin. The third of the original manor that was inherited by Isabel, was sold before 1277 to John of Heghton or Hetherton and his wife Christine of Washford.
