are variances between Alice duchess of Suffolk and Drue Barantyn
and others of the manor of Newenham co. Oxenford, sometime
of sir Hugh Segrave and afterwards of sir John Drayton, of the
title whereof the said sir John, Richard and William, Richard's
father, have great knowledge, that John Foster was jointly
feoffed with sir John therein, that sir John many times desired
Foster to release to him his right but he would not, that sir
John desired dame Isabell his wife to 'labour' Foster to make
her an estate in the manor, saying he had liefer she had it than
Foster, supposing that Foster would rather make her an estate
than him, that sir John being at Churchehill she 'labored so'
to Foster that he made her and others to her use an estate in fee
in the said manor, Richard Makeney being present, that long after
the 'wardenship' of Turmarton fell vacant and sir John 'willed'
that Dalbeare his cousin should have it, and Isabell would only
consent if she might be made sure of whole manor of Newenham,
wherefore Richard Makeney at the request of sir John 'labored'
between them, and sir John agreed that she should have the whole
in fee and Dalbeare the 'wardenshipp,' that sir John spoke to Robert
Quynaton to 'labour' that she might be made sure of the
manor, and anon John More and Walter Blanket were sent for,
and deeds made, and a great part of the tenants of the lordship
were present, and all the people of the place were had out and
nobody left within, in so much that sir John said to his wife
'Bele, yet thow art dysseyved for Gille my hauke is withyn;
wilt thowe that she be brought oute?' and she said 'Sir,
it nedeth not,' that More and Blanket delivered open seisin of
the whole manor to Isabell, William Makeney and John Gisbourne, Gysbourne being present, that Isabell and Gysbourne
'wente into the seid place byforen,' and More and Blanket
delivered to her certain deeds made by advice of counsel for her
'suerte,' that it was said by all people that her 'suerte' was so
made and all so done that the manor stood clear to her for ever
'and so beyden all hir livedayes,' that Thomas Chaucers lent
to her, being a widow, 400 marks and delivered the same to
Richard Makeney to carry with her, which sum was stopped
and repaid in the bargain of the manor between Chaucers and
her, and that he paid her 200 marks over the said 400. Sealed
