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 .

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 .

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 then seized into the hands of ‪ Henry VI , and a moiety was freed to Elizabeth as sister and one of Maud’s heirs.
