If the rent should fall into arrears in part or total at any term, then it is lawful for Patrick or his assigns to distrain whatever pleases him on the manor until satis- faction is made. I will warrant the manor to William and his heirs and assigns for the term of my life against all persons. In witness, John Kary , William Wyke , John Wyncalton , John Aston , John Hill, and others affixed our seals. Dated Westminster 18 April 1362.’ John de Mohun afterwards quitclaimed for him and his heirs in perpetuity to William Kary , and his heirs and assigns, all right and claim that he had in the manor. The deed was shown to the jurors and is here recited. ‘Let all know that I, John de Mohun, knight, lord of Dunster , remit, relax, and quitclaim for me and my heirs to William Kary and his heirs and assigns, all right and claim that I had, have, or could have in future, in the manor of Bradworthy, to have the manor, with view of frankpledge, knights’ fees, and with all other liberties and things belonging to the manor, freely and quietly, to William and his heirs and assigns, to hold of the chief lords of that fee by services owed and accustomed by right. I and my heirs will warrant and defend the manor to William and his heirs and assigns against all persons in perpetuity. In witness, I have placed my seal, Walter Wodelond , John Ferrers , Richard Merton , Richard Stapeldon , Robert Corun, knight , John Kary , Walter Corun , and others.

The grant was made by charter dated Clovelly 24 October 1400. The charter was shown to the jurors. William Kary then quitclaimed for him and his heirs in perpetuity to John and Eleanor, and their heirs and assigns, all right and claim that he had in the manor by a deed dated Clovelly 29 December 1400. The deed was shown to the jurors. John de Mohun and Joan had issue: Elizabeth, late countess of Salisbury , Maud late wife of John Lestraunge, knight, lord of Knockin , and Philippa. Patrick, John de Mohun , and Maud died, then Joan and Eleanor died. The late countess entered the manor, took possession of it during John Bozoun ’s possession of the same, expelled him, and continued in her possession for life. She died seised of this estate without heir of her body. John Bozoun , still living, had claimed the manor as his right while the countess was alive and, after her death, Philippa entered the manor and granted it to John for the term of her life, to hold by rendering 10 marks yearly to her. John Bozoun was thus seised of the manor in free tenement, and Philippa died seised of 10 marks rent, without heir.
