York, ought to descend to the said Hugh as nearest heir to the said Isabella as of the inheritance falling to her of the part of Baldwin de Vernun, her grandfather and the kinsman of the said Hugh, because she died without an heir of her body; the king having taken homage of the said Hugh for the premises.
