Valers : or Vilers. Atkyns, in his History of Gloucestershire, always adopts the former spelling. He tells us that Edmund Crouchback, Earl of Lancaster, granted Down-Amney, in that county, to Nicholas de Valers in 1271. Michael de Valers was summoned from Gloucester in 1300, for military service in Scotland (Palgrave's Parl. Writs), and Ralph Walers is mentioned in 1375. See Mesni-le-Villiers.
