 Una Medietas 



Dicta Isabella habuit Medietatem tertise partis Capitalis

 ' Translation of an Inquisition taken on the death of Isabella 

 de Forde by virtue of a Mandate, dated 12th day of Feb. 39 

 Hen. 3. 1254. 



'An Inquisition made at Wooler in the Vigil of Palm

 King John, the thirty-ninth, by the Lords William of Mus-

 Thomas of Akilde, William of Stainsby, Thomas the Forester, 

 Adam Ippejoy, Robert of Heddon, Walter of Fenton, Walter 

 of Hextildisham, Hugh of Heddon, Warine of Belford. They 

 say that Isabella of Forde had a third part of the capital mes-
