Its tenor as to the castle, etc., below was as follows, and was shown to the jurors: ‘Be it remembered that on 22 June 1417 I, John Dalyngrygg, knight have made my will in the following fashion. First, I will that if I die at sea in my passage from Sandwich, which God forbid (quod absit), that then my feoffees in the castle of Bodiam and in my manors, lands, tenements, advowsons, and reversions, immediately after my death grant to Alice my wife for the term of her life the castle and manor of Bodiam, and the other manors and rents in which Alice and I were lately enfeoffed, as more fully appears in certain indented charters. I will that the rest of the manors, lands, and tenements remain in the hands of the feoffees until my will, as follows, is fully carried out. If I die without issue, I will that the feoffees enfeoff Alice of those manors, lands, and tenements for the term of her life, on the following condition: that she provide proper array and all other necessary things for the two sons of Walter Dalyngrygg during her life; and if she does not, the sons are to have £20 yearly from my lands and tenements for their maintenance. If I have issue, I will that if they be in the wardship of Alice, their mother, my wife, until their full age, and that then the feoffees enfeoff them and their heirs of all the manors, lands, and tenements not already enfeoffed on Alice, and of the reversion of the castle and manor of Bodiam and of the other manors enfeoffed on Alice. I will that if I die without issue, and Alice my wife die before my will is fulfilled, then the feoffees should have and hold the above castle, manors, lands, and tenements, until they have received £200 clear, which they are to dispose in divine services and other works of charity for my soul and for the souls of all [my] ancestors.n035 I will that if I die without issue after the death of my wife, the feoffees enfeoff the [unnamed] son and heir of Walter Dalyngrygg , my uncle, and the heirs male of his body, of the castle of Bodiam and the manors of BodiamWiltingHollingtonSheffieldIford, and Iden, with remainder to William, his brother, the younger son of Walter, and the heirs male of his body. They will enfeoff this William, and the heirs male of his body, of the manors of WarningoreWapsbourne‘Radyngden’, and Bolebrook, with remainder to William’s brother, the [unnamed] son and heir of Walter, and the heirs male of his body. If both the [unnamed] son and heir and William die without heirs of their bodies, I will as follows: that the manor of Iford be sold by the feoffees and disposed of for the souls of myself, my wife, and my parents at the discretion of my executors and feoffees; and that the castle and manor of Bodiam remain to the right heirs of Elizabeth Wardew , my mother; and that all the other manors, lands, and tenements remain to my right heirs. Except that Thomas Sakevyle, knight , will have the manor of Bolebrook to himself and his heirs; and that Richard Weyvile will have the manors of Wilting and Hollington to himself and his heirs. I further will that if any heir on my mother’s side disturb or cause to be disturbed the above will or feoffments in any way, or disturb my wife or sons and heirs on my father’s side concerning the castle and manor of Bodiam, then the castle and manor are to remain wholly to the right heirs of my father’s side. I further will that if my feoffees die before this will is carried out, while one or two are still alive, then those two, or one of them, may licitly enfeoff other men of the castle and of the other manors and advowsons to carry out this will in the above fashion.’ William Cheyne and the others named above were therefore seised in demesne as of fee, and in fulfillment of the will they demised the castle, manors, and advowsons to Alice for the term of her life, with reversion to themselves, so that Alice was seised in demesne as of free tenement.
