Administrative / biographical background: |
John (II) de Segrave inherited the holding at Alsthorpe, now a lost hamlet, from Maud (d.s.p. 1335), daughter and heir of Nicholas de Segrave (d. 1321) and wife of Edmund de Bohun; cf. below, BCM/D/5/71/5 [GC 2809]. Nicholas's wife, Alice de Armenters, inherited the manor at Burley: BCM/B/2/8. Although it seems that Nicholas's own acquisitions were in Alsthorpe alone (below, BCM/D/5/71/3 [GC 2803]), John de Segrave's inquisition post mortem of 1353 mentions a plot and 2 virgates in Alsthorpe and Burley. Burley is not mentioned later in the muniments, however, and it was a holding in Alsthorpe alone which Thomas de Mowbray, according to his inquisition post mortem, settled, with the rents from Stretton (BCM/D/5/73), in 1392. |
