Very interesting find!
I think the Abbey of Fitz was even missing from some of the Blackmoor maps in the ZGG maps.
Both Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax were apparently very interested in English medieval history. This was where St. Cuthbert came into Greyhawk and also where Clerics with only blunt weapons were adopted by Gary.
Dave Arneson specifically modelled one of his scenarions after the bBattle of Bbannockburn.
Could the Abbey of Fitz be a remnant of something similar? I originally assumed it was named after a player...
