Marsfield in Nottingham ; Oswaldbee in Nottingham ; Wearfield, Stratton, and

Moreover, to Helene of Wales, who had married Robert de Ouincey, order
was given by the king that she should have livery of these lordships hereafter
named— whereof John Earl of Chester, her late husband, died seized — to hold,
until such time as, by a fair and perfect extant of his lands, she should have a
sufficient dower assigned to her, — namely, Fotheringay and Farewell, in county
Northampton ; Heweston, in county Bedford ; Tottenham, in county Mid-
dlesex ; Brampton, Cunnington, and Limpays, in Huntingdon ; Badow in
Essex ; and Exton in Rutland.
By Robert de Ouincey Helene of Wales left two daughters : Joane de
Ouincey, wife of de Bohun ; and Hawise de Ouincey, wife of Baldwin de
Wake — co-heiresses in 1266, when both parents were dead. It was probably
in consequence of this marriage that Lord Wake had claims on lands in Scot-
land, which he asserted in the days of Robert and David Bruce. Most of the
above-named estates in England, however, reverted to the heirs of John le
Scot. Fotheringay and Farewell to Devergoile ; Tottenham in Middlesex,
Brampton and Connington, Great Badow in Essex, and Exton in Rutland, to
Isabel de Brus, or her descendants. — See Bruces of Annandale, &c.
