This is a grant (in English) by Sirs Reignold Bray and Thomas Lovell,
knights, and others, to Thomas Brandon, 'squier', of the manors of Alkington
and Hynton, which the grantors hold for a term of years, to the king's use,
'of the lease of Anne, marquesse Barkeley, the late wif of William late
marquys Barkeley, now wif to the said Thomas Brandon' [etc] dated 16 May, 11
Henry VII.
