He once held in his demesne as of fee the manor of Normanton and lands in Swarby comprising by estimate 1 messuage, 40 a. arable and 10 a. meadow. He had three daughters, Margaret, Isabel and Elizabeth. After his death they entered and divided his lands. Margaret took half the manor of Normanton, Isabel the other half, and Elizabeth the lands in Swarby.
Roger
Punchard
dispossessed Margaret without a judgment and all her life she claimed against him. He died leaving a son, Ralph, an idiot. Margaret entered her part, and a certain brother
Brian
Gray
and Eustacia mother of Ralph ejected her in the name of Ralph. She died without heirs of her body.
Elizabeth, whilst still under age, married
William
Nicolson
, also under age, and they both still under age alienated Elizabeth’s lands in Swarby to
Roger
Punchard
. He died holding them.
Elizabeth had three daughters, who are still alive, Nicola married to
Peter
Bayllyf
, Joan married to
John
Camyn
of Cowick, and Avelina. Elizabeth died, and Isabel is dead, and the daughters of Elizabeth, sister of Margaret, are therefore her heirs.
All is held by Ralph, the idiot, and should belong to the king on account of his madness. The manor is held of
Thomas
Bardolf
, service unknown, annual value of the half 20s. The lands in Swarby are held of
Walter
Pedwardyn, knight
, service unknown, annual value 10s.
