Ralph’s lands descended to his two sons, Reginald and Walter.
After a first division very early in the 12th century the lands which descended from Reginald (in Wiltshire) and Walter (in Herefordshire) were never again shared among siblings, and went always to the eldest son and heir.
From the descendants of these two brothers, the
PRINCIPAL BRANCHES of the Scudamore/ Skidmore family arise.
