Tropenell Memoranda. 



The next document necessary to the understanding of the oc- 

 currence in Wiltshire of the family of Engayne is letters patent 

 of confirmation 7 February, 18 Edward II. (1324-5), to the 

 prior and canons of St. Mary and St. Thomas the Martyr, of 

 Wospryng, of divers grants heretofore made to their house. Tlie 

 text is not set out in the patent roll calendar, but in vol. vi. of the 

 Monasticon we find the confirmation by the king, of this date, 

 to the prior and canons of inter alia the gift which Henry 

 Engayne, advocate of the priory aforesaid, made by charter to 

 John, the prior, and the canons, of half the manor (toto dimidio 

 manerio) of Worle, and the homage and service of William de 

 Chaldefield and his heirs of the fee of one knight at Chaldefield, 

 CO. Wilts, and of William Bey vin and his heirs of the fee of half a 

 knight at Candel Beyvin, co. Dorset. 



The priory thus benefited was founded by one William de 



Curtenay between the years 1200, when his father, and 1214, when 



his widow, respectively occur. Upon his death without issue claim 



was made to his estates by certain collateral heirs who moreover 



prosecuted suits for the recovery of other lands of his inheritance, 



the right of which had been withheld from liim or had not accrued 



at the time of his death. From the pleadings in these suits various 



pedigrees have been extracted,^ to the following effect : —
