If they died without heirs male or John son of Robert Hemenale died without lawful heirs of his body, after their deaths the remainder should be successively to the heirs male of Gerard de Braybrook, knight, senior , the heirs male of Reynold, and the right heirs of Gerard, senior . Gerard de Braybroke, senior , and Isabel attorned to Reynold and Joan. Isabel died during the life of Gerard. John son of Robert de Hemenhale died without heirs of his body. The ten years is ended.
