By letters patent of 28 Nov. 1400 [CPR 1399–1401, p.411] the king gave him licence to enfeoff Robert Comberworth and John Gayteford and the heirs of the body of John, and for them to grant back to Hugh and the heirs of his body, and failing such heirs half to John de Clifton and Katherine his wife, sister of Hugh, and her heirs and to other persons named in the letters patent, and the other half to John Markham and his heirs by Elizabeth, the other sister of Hugh, and otherwise as in the letters patent. By a fine of 1401 [CP 25(1)/290/59, no.24] the premises, with the manor of Claypole and other manors, were so settled.
