Regarding the manor of Eastcotts. [1]+No lands or tenements came to the hands of ‪ Henry IV or are still in the king’s hands owing to the deaths of Amaury and Ida.+[1] Amaury de Sancto Amando, chevalier , father of Amaury, was seised of the manor in demesne as of fee. He gave it to Amaury his son and Ida wife of Amaury, and to the heirs of their bodies in perpetuity. [2]+They had issue: Eleanor, who married Gerard Braybrook, knight , still living. Eleanor and Gerard had issue: Gerard Braybrook , now deceased, father of Eleanor Braybrook and Maud Babyngton . Ida afterwards died and Amaury married Eleanor.+[2] Thomas Dauntesey and Henry Ingepenne were seised in demesne as of fee of the manor. They granted it to Amaury and Eleanor his second wife, and to the heirs of the body of Amaury, with remainder to the right heirs of Amaury in perpetuity. [3]+Amaury was seised of the manor in demesne as of fee tail and Eleanor his wife was seised in demesne as of free tenement. Amaury died and Eleanor held the manor and continued her estate for life. She died and the manor descended by hereditary right to Maud Babyngton , Eleanor Braybrook , and Elizabeth now wife of William Beauchamp . They were all daughters of Gerard Braybrook and kin and heirs of Amaury and Ida, as the daughters of Gerard Braybrook son of Eleanor daughter of Amaury and Ida. Upon the death of Eleanor wife of Amaury, the manor was seized into the hands of ‪ Henry VI . Elizabeth wife of William Beauchamp and Maud Babyngton were then of age, and two parts of the manor were freed to them. The third was retained in the king’s hands owing to the minority of Eleanor Braybrook . Maud died seised of 1/3 manor without heir of her body. The third was then seized into the hands of ‪ Henry VI , and a moiety was freed to Elizabeth as sister and one of Maud’s heirs. The other moiety was retained in the king’s hands owing to the minority of Eleanor.

A third of the manor thus came to the hands of ‪ Henry VI owing to the death of Eleanor wife of Amaury, and a moiety of a moiety of third came to the king’s hands owing to the death of Maud and the minority of Eleanor.+[3] The annual value of the third and the moiety is £11 4s., and the manor as a whole is held of the king as ¼ knight’s fee.
