Know ye that I have given, and by this Charter confirmed to Alan called of Burgham, my Son, for his homage and service, all my land of Lyford, with their appurtenances and liberties, to him and to his Heirs, to be held of me and my Heirs, freely, quietly, honorably, and by Inheritance-as I held it among other things of a Gift and Munificence. of Wm., Garter Sealer |
