 he held as of the inheritance of Nicholaa, his wife, the manors of 

 Morle and Suthewic, held of William de Brewosa by service of three 

 knight's fees; and in Dorset, the township of Wembrok, jointly 

 with Nicholaa, his wife, by the gift of Sibyl Oliver. Elizabeth, 

 daughter of John and Mcholaa, aged six on the feast of the Purifica-
