Details of BCM/D/5/62
Reference: BCM/D/5/62
Title: COTTON, IN RAUNDS (NORTHANTS.)
Held by: Berkeley Castle Muniments, not available at The National Archives
Language: English
Administrative / biographical background:

Although the manor seems to have been acquired by the younger Nicholas de Segrave from William Tuchet, the other holdings associated with it (at Raunds, Ringstead, Middle Cotton and Denford) had then been in the family's hands for some time. William Tuchet (below, BCM/D/5/62/1 [GC1923]) was the son-in-law of Nicholas's wife Alice, having married one of her daughters by Gerard de Lisle. Evidently Cotton passed to Nicholas's daughter and heir, Maud, and her husband Edmund de Bohun (below, BCM/D/5/62/2 [GC 2455]), but it reverted to the main line on Maud's childless death in 1335 and was in 1339 granted to Henry del Green in exchange for his manor of Witherley: above, BCM/D/5/53/4-6 [GC2952-4].
