She held no lands or tenements in demesne as of fee.

Edmund and Alice were thus seised in demesne, viz., Edmund as of fee tail, and Alice as of free tenement, and Edmund died seised of this estate without heir male of his body. Alice afterwards occupied the manor and tenement by virtue of the grant. John Giffard died, and right of remainder descended to John Giffard, esquire , still living, as son and heir male of the body of John Giffard, knight.
