Footnote #1: Historically, no title of Barone di Djar il-Bniet was ever granted in 1350. Nor was there any grant of a title of Barone di Buqana in 1372. To assert that the title of Barone di Djar il-Bniet et Buqana was granted before the 14th century is a fallacy. According to the 1878 Commissioners, the first relevant dates are 1512 (Buqana) and 1725 (Djar il-Bniet and Buqana). It was only in 1878 that the title of “Djar il-Bniet and Buqana” was backdated to 1350. - See footnotes below.

Footnote #2: The two fiefs of Diar el Bniet and of Buqana were never granted as titles in the strict sense. However, the holder of these two untitled fiefs (together) was by custom accorded the title of barone. Published sources show these fiefs as having been granted in 1350 in favour of Francesco Gatto and 1404 in favour of Guglielmo Murina, as they in fact were. However, it appears that the first time Buqana (alone) was ever referred to as a title (barone) was only in 1512 in favour of Giacomo Arginaldo Inguanez, whilst the first time the holder of both fiefs was referred to as a barone in a legislative act was in 1725 in favour of Marc Antonio Inguanez and his wife the baronessa. It appears that no legislative act ever contemplated a barone di Djar il-Bniet. There is therefore only historic reference to a Barone di Buqana (1512) and a Barone di Djar il-Bniet et Buqana (1725). It was only the 1878 Commission which retroactively attributed a date of creation of a title of Barone di Diar el-Bniet et Buqana. (See:- Correspondence and Report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the claims and grievances of the Maltese Nobility, May 1878, presented to both Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty (C.-2033.) (See Report Paras. 91-96). See also http://www.maltagenealogy.com/SME/djarilbniet.html

 

Footnote #3: The lands of Djar el Bniet (only) were first granted in fief to Francesco Gatto and to the heirs of his body by Louis, King of Sicily (House of Aragon), on the 4th January 1350, by a privilegium given at Messina, the fief having reverted to the Crown after it had been held by Michele Bava. The grant was afterwards confirmed in Malta on the 12th November 1372, by King Frederick, brother of the said King Louis, in favour of Lancea Gatto, son of the above-mentioned Francesco, sub militari servitio unius equi alforati curiae nostrae perinde praestando ; and was once more confirmed by King Martin, at Catania, on the 14th February 1397, in favour of another Francesco Gatto, son of the said Lancea. All of these authentic documents were examined by the 1878 Commission. See: Correspondence and Report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the claims and grievances of the Maltese Nobility, May 1878, presented to both Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty (C.-2033.).

 

Footnote #4: By another privilegium given at Catania on the 15th April 1404, King Martin confirmed in favour of the said milite Francesco Gatto, not only the possession of the fief of Diar el Bniet, but also that of the fief of Bucana which had been conveyed to Gatto, and had been previously by a privilegium given in Malta on the 4th November 1372, assigned by King Frederick to Gugliemo Murina and his descendants sub servitio unius equi alforati curiae nostrae perinde praestando. See: Correspondence and Report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the claims and grievances of the Maltese Nobility, May 1878, presented to both Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty (C.-2033.).
