observed by the said Baldwin and his heirs. And the said Baldwin
hearing of the sickness of the said John, came and prayed him to
restore the charter of enfeoffment, which he did, save that the said
Baldwin granted that Margery wife of the said John should hold the
remainder of the term of twenty-four years. So that the said John did
not die seised of the manor in fee.
