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.).

Footnote: The 1878 Commissioners noted the following in favour of Giacomo Arginaldo Inguanez: In an old and highly authoritative work, La descrizione di Malta del Commendatore Gio Francesco Abela, written in 1647, the two fiefs of Diar el Bniet and Bucana are referred to as noble fiefs, with the title of barone annexed thereto. From old memorial accounts it appears that Giacomo Arginaldo Inguanez, who possessed the said two fiefs in 1512, was sent by the Governement of Malta in the capacity of ambasciatore (as such agents were then styled) to the court of the Viceroy of Sicily for the object of obtaining certain franchises, on which occasion he was designated as Barone of Bucana (vide: Abela, Lib. 4, Notiz. 3 #38).

Footnote: The 1878 Commissioners held that the first time that the Grand Masters acknowledged a title of Barone in regard to the possessor of both lands Djar il-Bniet et Buqana was only as late as the 30 April 1725 in favour of Marc Antonio Inguanez. In fact the Commissioners reported as follows:- Although this does not appear to have been expressly granted in the diplomas or Privilegia given in 1350 and in 1372, yet there are sufficient grounds for holding that at a later period that title was conferred or recognized, for Grand Master Manoel, on the 30th April 1725, issued a Prammatica or Ordinance, by which in order to remedy abuses and inconveniences, which had for some time prevailed in regard to titles, that Grand Master ordered and commanded that thenceforward no advocate, notary, or attuario should take upon himself to give in any instrument, contract, or other public act drawn up by him, the title of illustrissimo or of noblile to any of the prince's vassals, with the exception of the Capitano della Verga pro tempore, of the two Magistrati of the cities of Valeltta and Notabile, and the Milite barone Marc’Antonio Inguanez our feudatory, and Baronessa Inguanez his wife, and their descendants. Other nobles who will be mentioned hereafter were subsequently excepted from the provisions of the above Prammatica. Barone Marco Antonio Inguanez is the ancestor of Maria Teresa Damico, the present Baronessa. By the foregoing legislative act he, as the holder of the two fiefs in question, and his descendants were recognized by the former Government as barons. Marc’ Antonio was moreover thirty-four times between the years 1705 and 1760, appointed Capitano della Verga, and always designated as Barone Inguanez. (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). Regarding the Commissioners observation that Marc'Antonio Inguanez was the ancestor of Maria Teresa Inguanez see http://www.maltagenealogy.com/SME/djarilbniet.html
