the purparty of Maud de Kyme and Agatha de Mortuo Mari falling to
them of the inheritance of the Marshals, which were in their hands on

which the king marvels: the king orders him, if it is so and if there be
no other reason why the lands ought to be taken into the king's hands,

the heirs of Henry's body, by the demise of Laurence de Sancto Mauro by
fine levied between them in the king's court, and that Henry died without
an heir of his body, and that the manor ought to remain to Joan for her

council that she should have for her dower the value of a third of the
manor out of lands in the king's hands, and she chose before the justices
