against William de Percy a third of the manor of Wresel and of the moiety
of the manor of Erghes, in the county of York, and a third of the manors
of Claxeby and Slotheby, in the county of Lincoln, as her dower; and
William produced a deed of her late husband containing warranty, and
vouched to warranty Henry, son and heir of the said Henry, a minor in the
king's wardship; and it was considered by the court that William should
hold in peace a third of the manor of Wresel and of the moiety of the manor
of Erghes, and that Eleanor should have their value out of the heir's lands in
the county of York, and because the king had no lands of the heir's inheritance in the county of Lincoln in his hands, he ordered the sheriff of Lincoln

the king ordered the sheriff of York to certify him of the extent of the
manor of Wresel and of the moiety of the manor of Erghes, and of the lands
that he had assigned and delivered to Eleanor for her dower thereof and of
the manors of Claxeby and Slotheby; who returned that, by virtue of a writ of
judgment witnessed by the said William de Bereford addressed to Nicholas
de Menill, late sheriff of that county, the said Nicholas, on Thursday before
St. Margaret the Virgin last, caused the manor of Wresel and the moiety of
the manor of Erghes to be extended, and they were found to be of the yearly
value of 45l. 8s. 10d., and that Nicholas, by virtue of the said writ and of
another writ of judgment witnessed by the said William, caused, on 8 September following, certain lands in Wyndonsom, Naffreton, Routhemel,
and Kirclevynton, of the yearly value of 22l. 2s. 0¼d., to be assigned and
delivered to the said Eleanor for her dower of the manors of Claxeby and
