Nothing came to the hands of ‪ Henry V nor is in the hands of ‪ Henry VI for the reasons as 521. Thomas de la Pole , father, was formerly seised of the manor of Grafton Regis in demesne as of fee tail male by a fine levied on the octave of Trinity 1384 [CP 25/1/289/54 no. 113]. Michael de la Pole, knight , granted that William de la Pole son of Michael de la Pole who held the manor for life by grant of Michael, should hold the manor to him and the heirs male of his body of the king and his heirs by due service in perpetuity. If William should die without heir male of his body, the manor should remain to Richard de la Pole son of the said Michael, and to the heirs male of his body. Continues as 521+[1].
Grafton Regis, the manor, true annual value £12, held of the king in chief as 1/7 knight’s fee.
William and Richard died, each without heir male of his body. Thomas de la Pole , father, survived and had issue: Thomas de la Pole . Thomas de la Pole , father, granted the manor to Robert Hawerby , now deceased, and Richard Gratele , still living, and to their heirs and assigns in perpetuity. The grant was made by charter dated Grafton Regis 1 September 1417. Robert and Richard were seised in demesne as of fee and continued to be so seised during the life of Thomas. Robert died. Richard then demised the manor to the lady Anne de la Pole , lately wife of Thomas de la Pole , father, and still living, and to the heirs male of the bodies of Anne and Thomas together. The grant was made by charter dated Grafton Regis, Monday 30 September 1420. She is thus seised of the manor and has taken its issues since that Monday. Letters patent, pardoning the above alienations of the manor, were obtained, dated Westminster 4 December 1420 [CPR 1416–1422, p. 314]. The charters and letters patent were shown in evidence on the taking of the inquisition.
Thomas son of Thomas, lately in the king’s wardship because of other lands and tenements of which his father died seised, died on 27 July last without heir male of his body, and there is thus no heir male of the body of Thomas de la Pole , father. After the death of Anne, the manor should revert by virtue of the fine to William de la Pole, earl of Suffolk , kin and heir of Michael as the son of Michael son of Michael. He is aged 30 and more. Next heir as 521.
