The word is derived from "God,” and “sib,” (akin). The belief was, that by contracting spiritual obligations to a child they became "sib," or "akin in God," to one another. (See Trench's English, p. 155.) The word occurs in Chaucer:-" Natheles, your kindrede is but a fer (distant) kindrede; they be but litle sibbe to you, and the kin of youre enemies be nigh sibbe to them. (Tale of Melibæus.) +"Paulsomeve."

Among other memoranda relating to this subject (which seems to have been one very fertile of disputes) there is one, that the Dean and Chapter of Sarum used to claim the tithes of all the King's forests in Wilts under (as they alleged) a grant from King Henry the Second. The manor of Grafton was bought by the Earl of Hertford of Thomas Barnardiston in 28 Henry VIII., for £441 3s. 10d. In 37 Henry VIII., (1545) he bought from Sir Edward Darrell all his lease interest in Wexcombe, Bedwyn, and Burbidge; and obtained the reversion from the crown. Some quarel afterwards fell out about this; and as a marginal note on an old paper relative to it speaks of Sir Edward Dorrell as a common cozener; and of hls having been "brought before the Star-Chamber for abusing Hyde." Out of Wexcombe Manor £35 annual rent was at that time paid to the Sheriff of Wilts for the crown. |
