demandant, and Robert de Brus, son and heir of the said Robert, then
lord of the said dale, defendant, concerning the dower demanded by
her from the lands and fees that belonged to her husband in England
and in Scotland, whereby Robert grants to her that she shall have all
her dower of the free tenement that belonged to her late husband of
Annandale and the dale of Moffat (vallium Anand et de Moffet), as she
was dowered thereof in the time of John, late king of Scotland, and
all her dower in the manor of Hert, in the bishopric of Durham, as she
was dowered thereof by the bishop of Durham, without hindrance or
annoyance from Robert or his heirs, with the fees, homages, services
of free tenants and of villeins, and the advowsons of churches and all
other things that might fall in from the said dower. He also grants
to her the manors of Great Badue, co. Essex, and Kemston, co. Bedford,
with all their appurtenances, for her life. In consideration wherefor
Christiana has remitted to him her dower of all the other lands that
belonged to her husband in England and Scotland, with the advowsons
of churches, fees and services of knights, perquisites of court and
alms, and of everything else except her dower aforesaid, saving to her
the action that she has commenced against Sir John son of Marmaduke
to recover the dower falling to her from the manor of Strauntonin-Herternes'. She has also granted to Robert the dower falling to
her from the rents of the boroughs of Annan (Anandie) and Lochemaban, and the profit of the lake of Goldmar at the true value by
a reasonable extent to be made to her in exchange to be assigned

tenants and their services in the said towns, saving to her her foreign
lands pertaining to her dowers of the manors of Annan and Lochmaban
and all her dower whereof she was dowered from the lands of Adam de
Jessemuth, her first husband, in Great Dalton. She also grants to
Robert that if the church of Dalton, which is of the advowson of her
dower, shall be void, she will present a suitable parson for it to the
diocesan at Robert's request upon this occasion, saving to her any other
presentations to that church. |
