Henry and Elizabeth recognised the manors to be the right of Guy Fairfax as held by Guy, Alexander, Guy Roucliff, and Thomas by grant of Henry and Elizabeth. For that recognition, Guy, Alexander, Guy, and Thomas granted them to Henry and Elizabeth and the heirs male of the body of Henry, with successive remainders to Henry Percy, earl of Northumberland , and the heirs male of his body; and to the right heirs of the earl, as fully apparent in the one part of the fine, shown to the jurors.

Henry afterwards died seised of his estate without heir male of his body. Elizabeth survived him, and continued in her estate for life. She died so seised and the manor of Hunmanby should remain to the earl and the heirs male of his body.She died on 21 January 1440. Thomas, Lord Scales, is her son and next heir, and aged 30 and more.
