(Coinel, according to Leland) I find a “Willielmo de Covele” in the chartulary of Bicester Priory, Oxfordshire (Mon. Angl.). “De Coville” is among the names added by M. de Magny to the Dives Roll.—Nobiliaire de Normandie. According to Lysons, “the manor of Cowley Hall, in Middlesex, held under Colham, is called in old records Couele Hall, or Coveleshall.” Philip de Couel is mentioned in the county in 1200.—Rotuli Curiæ Regis. At the same date, William de Couele and his sister Alicia occur in Oxfordshire.— Ibid. This is probably the same William that witnesses one of the charters of Bicester, and appears in another part of the same register as William de Kouele. Philip de Couele, in Buckinghamshire, 1197, and Roger de Covele, with Margaret his wife, in Berkshire, 1202, are mentioned in the list of Hunter’s “Fines.” Reginald Couvil de Staxton and his wife Eve, occur in the chartulary of Fountains Abbey.—Burton's Mon. Ebor. Hoies de Covele, in Berkshire, and Mauger and Bartholomew de Covele in Buckinghamshire, William de Covele in Wiltshire, and Roger de Covele in Oxfordshire, occur in the Rotuli Hundredorum of Edward I. William Coveil of Aynderby-in-the-Myer, who died 27 Hen. VIII., and three generations of his descendants, are entered in Harrison's Yorkshire. “Philip de Covele, as appears by inquisition taken in the reign of Henry III., held one knight’s fee in Holdenby and Ravensthorp of the Honour of Leicester.” —Bridge's Northamptonshire.
