Reginald Basset, Sheriff of Warwickshire/Leicestershire 1194-1198
Is there anyone out there who knows anything about this Reginald Basset? None of the threads I've read on your message board seem to include a Reginald or Reynold who is referred to as a local knight of either of these shires, and who must certainly have been in his middle years while he held the shrievalty. He and Gilbert de Seagrave apparently traded the post of sheriff through the years 1194-1197, Reginald holding the seat in his own right (having offered 66 marks for it in 1194--so not an inconsequential man) and Gilbert holding it as undersheriff beneath Wm D'Albini of Belvoir.
Thanks much,
