She held in her demesne as of fee 6s.8d. rent from a half toft and 36 a. arable and meadow in Highbrooks by Somerton with the reversion of the half toft and 36 a. after the deaths of John Sutton , Joan his wife, and John and Richard their sons, all of whom are still living and hold for the term of their lives. Owing to the death of John Mautravers , father of Maud, who held of the king in chief by knight service, this rent, being her portion as one of the daughters and heirs of John Mautravers , was taken into the king’s hands and so remains.

She died about 1 Nov. 1402 . Elizabeth, the other daughter of John Mautravers , who married Humphrey de Stafford, junior, knight , is her heir, aged 22 years and more.

Since her death the rent has come to the king by the escheator owing to her minority and the partition of the inheritance.
