He held no lands or tenements of the king in chief or another in demesne or in service. He was formerly seised in his demesne as of fee of the manor of Broadwindsor and hamlet of Attisham with the hundred of Broadwindsor, part of the manor, and the manor with hamlet and hundred is called and is the free manor of Broadwindsor. Long before his death, namely on 12 January 1409, he demised and granted these, described as the free manor of Broadwindsor, to William Frye , who survives, for life, paying 40 marks legal English money during this term to Richard and his heirs at the four principal annual terms in equal portions. William is still seised as of his free tenement and Richard was seised of the rent in his demesne as of fee as above. On 4 December 1411, Richard granted the rent and reversion of the free manor to William Courtenay , his brother, and his male heirs, reserving reversion to himself and his heirs. William Frye , both through the payment of 1d. and the payment of the rent, effectually attorned to William Courtenay and duly became his tenant as above. Richard died and William Courtenay long afterwards continued in his estate of the rent and reversion and continued to take the rent during his entire lifetime, dying seised without male heir of his body. After his death, the rent of 40 marks and reversion of the manor and hamlet descended to Philip Courtenay, a minor who survives in the king’s wardship, as kinsman and heir of Richard Courtenay , being the son of John his brother. William Frye occupied and occupies the free manor by virtue of the demise and grant by Richard Courtenay to him, and took all issues above the 40 marks rent and takes them at present by the same title and form. ‪Henry V‬, throughout his life, annually after the death of William Courtenay , and ‪Henry VI, annually after his father’s death by reason of Philip’s minority until the date of this inquisition, separately took the 40 marks rent as above by the hands of the escheator, and Henry VI takes it now. Broadwindsor. The whole of the free manor is held of the king by service of paying him annually £4 9s. legal English money at Michaelmas for all other services, annual value above the 40 mark rent, 40s.
He died on 15 September 1415 [see also CIPM XX, nos 460–1]. Philip son of John his brother is his kinsman and next heir, aged 21 years and more.
