S. Cloyis : This name, here bracketed with St. Clair, corresponds with the enigmatical "Seucheus" Of Holinshed's list, which I must admit to be quite beyond the reach of my comprehension. I have fancied it might be another spelling of S. Clo, or St. Lo: in which case it would be a duplicate. Or it may stand for St. Clavo, or St. Savo: but the termination does not tally in either instance. St. Clavo is, as far as I know, uncommon. "Robertus de Sancto Savo" was of Norfolk, c. 1198 (Rot. Cur. Regis): William de San Savo, and Robert de San Clavo of Suffolk, c. 1272 (Rot. Hundred). Philip de San Clavo held in Kent 8 Ed. I. (Ibid.): as well as a knight's fee in Malkeston, Westwyck and Hoketon, Cambridgeshire, of the Honour of Richmond (Gale).
