    John de Ruycote and Mary, his wife, querents, by Philip de Drayton', put in the place of Mary, and Thomas Esger and Nicholas de Ruycote, deforciants.

    John has acknowledged the manor to be the right of Nicholas, of which Nicholas and Thomas have 2 parts, of his gift. For this, Thomas and Nicholas have granted to John and Mary the same 2 parts and have rendered them to them in the same court, to hold to John and Mary and the male heirs of their bodies, of the chief lords for ever. And besides Thomas and Nicholas granted for themselves and the heirs of Nicholas that the third part of the manor - which Joan, who was the wife of Fulk de Ruycote, held in dower of the inheritance of Nicholas on the day the agreement was made, and which after the decease of Joan ought to revert to Thomas and Nicholas and the heirs of Nicholas - after the decease of Joan shall remain to John and Mary and their aforesaid heirs, to hold together with the 2 parts, of the chief lords for ever. In default of such heirs, remainder to the right heirs of John. - http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/fines/abstracts/…
