And the said earl afterwards enfeoffed Edmund Talbot to hold to him and his heirs, who died seised thereof, and after his death by reason of the minority of John son and heir of the said Edmund the earl seized the manor into his hands as wardship. After the earl’s death his executors demised the wardship of the manor to Robert de Holand until the lawful age of the said heir; and the said Robert yearly delivered one third of the farm and rents of the whole manor to (Joan) late the wife of the said Edmund, as dower.

The manor was held of Thomas, late earl of Lancaster, and is now held of the king, by service of 1/4 knight’s fee; and the said Margaret has not yet been dowered out of it because the keeper dared not do so without the king’s special precept. She has not in any way remitted or forfeited her dower.
