Holdings

Margaret who was the wife of Gilbert Talbot, knight , held no lands or tenements in her demesne as of fee or in service of the king in chief or another. ‪ Edward III was formerly seised in his demesne as of fee of the manors of Wadley and Wicklesham formerly called the manor of ‘Worde’. By his letters patent dated on 16 April 1376 [CPR 1374–77, p. 259], he granted the manors with the knights’ fees, church advowsons, fairs, markets, parks, warrens, liberties, rights, services of tenants, free and neif, and all other appurtenances belonging to the manors, to Gilbert Talbot, knight , described as Gilbert Talbot of Richard’s Castle, esquire, and the male heirs of his body, reversion to the king and his heirs, to hold of the king and his heirs by the due and customary services, as Richard de Pembrugg, chevalier , who died without heirs of his body, had previously held by grant of ‪ Edward III to him and his heirs. Gilbert, thus seised, married Margaret and they had issue Richard. Gilbert died without further male issue by her and the manors descended to Richard as his son and heir. The manors were seized into the king’s hand after Gilbert’s death; Richard prosecuted delivery of 2/3 manors from the king’s hand, had delivery and was seised in his demesne as of fee tail; and Margaret held 1/3 manors in dower and was seised. Richard died without male heir of his body, seised of 2/3 manors. ‪ Henry V, by letters patent shown to the jurors [CPR 1413–16, p. 128], granted 2/3 manors, described as all lands and tenements as the parts of the manors of which Richard, son of Gilbert, died seised, with the rights described as above, to Thomas Erpyngham for life, from the death of Richard, son of Gilbert. He further granted that the reversion of lands and tenements held by Margaret in dower remain to Thomas for his life, to hold of the king and his heirs with the other 2/3 by the due and customary services, in the same manner as Richard Pembrugg and Gilbert had held by grant of his grandfather. ‪ Henry V granted the remainder of both the 2/3 and 1/3 manors to his beloved and faithful knight John Philipp and Maud his wife and the heirs of John’s body, to hold of the king and his heirs by the services by which Richard Pembrugg and Gilbert held [CPR 1413–16, p. 132]. John and Maud died, John without heir of his body, and ‪ Henry V, by his letters patent of 8 December 1415 [CPR 1413–16, p. 385], granted this remainder to his beloved and faithful knight William Porter and the male heirs of his body, for his many good and agreeable services, to hold as above. Thomas Erpyngham died seised of the estate in the 2/3 manors, which were seized into the king’s hand and William then had delivery out of the king’s hand.
