Accordingly Ralph Basset of Drayton Bassett held Olney for life and so died. Ralph his son died in the lifetime of his father. Then, therefore, Ralph the grandson and Joan daughter of Thomas de Bello Campo held it. Meanwhile Ralph de Stafford and Richard de Stafford and both their sons died without heirs. Joan also died without heirs male of her body. Then Ralph the grandson married Joan, the subject of this inquisition. He died without heirs of his body and the manor was accordingly taken into the king’s hands. In the chancery of
Richard
II
it was assigned to Joan in dower, the other lands descending to Thomas son of
Thomas
de
Bello
Campo in accordance with the fine.
Henry
Grey
of Wilton took possession of one quarter of Olney, title unknown. Owing to the minority of his son Richard two parts of the quarter are in the king’s hands. Joan having died, the third part descends to Thomas son of
Thomas
de
Bello
Campo under the fine. He was 21 years of age on 25 Jan.
The manor is held of the king
in chief by knight service, annual value of three quarters £45, of a third part of a quarter £4 10s.4d. [ sic ].
She also held a third part of the manor of in dower from
Henry
