By reason of the death of
James
Durburgh
and the minority of his son and heir John
Durburgh the manor of Magor in the march of Wales adjoining Gloucestershire came
into the king's hand. It is held of the king
in chief by service of 1/20 knight's fee. The site of
the manor is worth nothing. An empty place [locus vacuus] there is worth 4d. yearly.
There are in the same manor £10 assize rents yearly paid at Christmas,
Easter, the
Nativity of St. John the Baptist and Michaelmas in equal portions.
John died on 30 July last.
Ralph
Durburgh
is his uncle and next heir, i.e. brother of
James father of John, aged 67 years and more.
