to his son and heir by his first wife,— and then divorced her — unless 

 some other explanation can be propounded. 



By a release endorsed on the Close Boll, May, 1357, it appears 

 that Sir William was then remarried to Eleanor, apparently the 

 widow of Sir John Latimer, and was engaged in securing for him- 

 self the Latimer lands. 



Meanwhile there is very little doubt that Elizabeth's son, William 

 de Percy, had survived. He is stated at a later date, 11 Henry VI 

 (1433), to hold Wodemancote, &c., of John de Mowbray, duke of 

 Xorfolk, though he must in the course of nature have died before 

 this date. In 1354, being then about 17 or 18, he was already 

 married to Mary, daughter of William Filol, when by fine in the 

 quinzaine of Easter and the quinzaine of the Trinity, John de 

 Farnebergh and Elizabeth, his wife (no doubt the quondam wife 

 of Sir William Burton) gave their manor of Wambrook juxta 

 Cherdestoke to William Filol and Mary, his wife, and "William, 

 son of John de Percy," and Mary, his wife, and the heirs of the 

 body of William son of John de Percy and Mary, his wife, with 

 remainder to the heirs of the body of William, son of John, with 

 remainder in default to the right heirs of William Fillol. 



There is reason to suppose that William, son of John Percy, died 

 without issue, and that his lands, not only in Dorset but in Sussex, 

 passed to the Fillols, and by their heiress to the Seymours.
