William Bardolf, knight, lord of Wormegay , by his charter of 1380–81 granted to John Clay, clerk , the manor of King’s Hall in Clopton with the advowson of Debach for life, with reversion to himself and his heirs, and the tenants attorned. William Bardolf died. John Clay assigned to Agnes widow of William Bardolf half the manor in dower, as it is of such tenure that widows should have half in dower by custom from time out of mind. So John Clay held half the manor with the advowson of Debach, and the reversion of the other half. After his death they belong to Thomas Bardolf, knight , son of William Bardolf . The half with the reversion is worth 66s.8d. annually, the advowson nothing. The whole manor and the advowson are held of the king in chief as a quarter of a knight’s fee.
Thomas Bardolf is aged 30 years and more.
John Clay died on 22 April last . Thomas his brother and next heir was aged 40 years and more when John died.
