To Master Henry de Bray, escheator this side Trent. Although
the king, believing that Richard de Brus, deceased, held of him

that he held lands in Writtel, co. Essex, Totinham, co. Middlesex, and
Kemestone, co. Bedford, to him and the heirs of his body of the gift of
Robert de Brus, his father, all of which ought to revert to Robert after
Robert's (sic) death by the form of the grant because he [Richard] died
without an heir of his body—orders the escheator to cause Robert to have
seisin of all the lands aforesaid, together with everything received from
them since they were taken into the king's hands. Witness: Edmund,
