To William Hilton escheator in Berkshire. Order in presence of the next friends of Gilbert son and heir of Richard Talbot knight, a minor in ward of the king, or of their attorneys, to assign to Thomas Nevylle knight and Ankaret his wife, who was wife of the said Richard, her dower of a moiety of the manor of Shryvenham; as it is found by inquisition, taken before John Arches late escheator, that the said Richard was seised of that moiety, and long before his death gave it by charter to Joan one of the daughters and heirs of Eleanor who was wife of Thomas duke of Gloucestre and to the heirs of her body to be by the said Gilbert his first born son or by any other son of his begotten, that by virtue of that gift the said Joan was thereof seised, and died seised without issue by the said Gilbert or any other son of the grantor, wherefore the same ought to revert to the said Gilbert as his son and heir; and the king has pardoned the trespass of the said Thomas in taking the said Ankaret to wife, and her trespass in marrying him without licence of the king.
To Nicholas Bray escheator in Wiltesir. Like order, mutatis mutandis, concerning the manor of Swyndon, upon the finding of an inquisition taken before John Wykynge late escheator.
