No lands came into the king’s hands owing to the death of Fulk Fitzwaryn, knight, but he had held in his demesne as of fee half the manors of Crofton and Stanton Fitzwarren with the advowson of Stanton, and had given them to John Canche, formerly vicar of Wantage , John Croke , William Bryddesmere and John Marchall of Betley, and their heirs and assigns, on condition that they should pay his debts, reward his servants and then enfeoff his son. They held them, paid his debts and, contrary to the conditions, enfeoffed Philip Fitzwaryn for life. Fulk Fitzwaryn, the son, entered, and as he was under age in the king’s ward the premises were taken into the king’s hands. He by letters patent of 2 Aug. 1402 [CPR 1401–5 , p.117] gave the custody to Elizabeth Lady Botreaux and Robert Threske, clerk , until the full age of Fulk, or of other next heir.

Philip held them and died. Then Peter Besyles, knight, escheator, held an inquisition [no.210 above] at Abingdon and took them into the king’s hands owing to the minority.

No lands came into the hands of Richard II by the death of Fulk Fitzwaryn, knight. Long before his death he had given the manor of Bentham to John Canche, formerly vicar of Wantage , John Crocke , William Bryddusmere and John Marchall of Betley, and their heirs and assigns, in order that they might pay his debts, reward his servants, and then enfeoff his son Fulk, but contrary to the conditions they enfeoffed Philip Fitzwaryn for life. Fulk entered, and as he was a minor in the king’s ward the manor was taken into the king’s hands. By letters patent of 2 Aug. 1402 [CPR 1401–5 , p.117] he granted the custody to Elizabeth Lady Botreaux and Robert Threske, clerk , for a certain rent until the full age of the heir. They have taken and are still taking the issues.

They held the premises all their lives, and afterwards James Lord Audley , their son and heir, held them. He married Joan daughter of the earl of March , and had a son Nicholas late Lord Audley , and daughters, Joan grandmother of John Tuchet, knight , now Lord Audley , and Margaret formerly the wife of Roger Hilary, knight . Joan wife of James died and he married Isabel and had a daughter Margaret, formerly the wife of Fulk Fitzwaryn. Nicholas the son died without heirs of his body, and so the premises descended to John Tuchet and Margaret wife of Roger Hilary ; John Tuchet as son of John, son of Joan, sister of Nicholas son of James; and Margaret wife of Roger as the other sister of Nicholas son of James by Joan his first wife. John Tuchet and Margaret entered the premises after the death of Nicholas, and held them until Fulk Fitwaryn, as son of Fulk, son of Margaret wife of Fulk Fitzwaryn, claiming to be a co-heir through Margaret his grandmother, daughter of James and Isabel, his second wife, entered a third part and held by intrusion without title until he died; but he being a minor at the death of his father, the third part was taken into the hands of Richard II and remains in the present king’s hands.
