Richard Page held in his demesne as of fee in chief of Edward III :

They descended to Richard his son and heir, under age, and were taken into the king’s hands. One third was assigned in chancery to Thomasia in dower. The rest remained in the hands of Richard II . Richard the son died under age. Two parts and the reversion of the third then descended to John Norton of Deddington, as son of Sibyl, daughter of Maud, daughter of Agnes, sister of William, father of the elder Richard, then of full age. John Norton held in his demesne as of fee and granted the two parts with the reversion of the third to John de Hulton and Elizabeth his wife, and the heirs of John. Thomasia attorned to them. The licence of Richard II was not obtained, but afterwards the grant was pardoned by letters patent [CPR 1385–9, p.303]. Annual value of the third part, 3s.4d.

Thomasia died holding this third part on 22 April last. The escheator has now taken it into the king’s hands. John and Elizabeth Hulton are alive and both aged 50 years and more.
