Manor of Frankley
"In 1405 the manor was claimed [...] by Thomas Lyttelton grandson of the first Thomas Lyttelton of Frankley by his second wife Acelina, daughter of Warin Fitz William de Upton. He based his claim on the fine levied in 1281 by which Nicholas de Wheathampstead and Emma his wife had settled Frankley on her son Nicholas de Frankley and his heirs, with contingent remainders to her half-brother Edmund Lyttelton. Lyttelton stated that Thomas son of Nicholas de Frankley and the said Edmund had both died without issue, though it has been seen above that Thomas had a son Edward, who was alive in 1401—2, and the defendants stated was still alive at the time of the suit. Thomas Lyttelton, the claimant, was nephew and heir of Edmund Lyttelton, (fn. 59) and, in spite of the numerous sales that had taken place, he recovered seisin of the manor, and in 1410 settled it on his wife Maud. (fn. 60) He is said to have died in 1422, (fn. 61) leaving an only daughter Elizabeth, who married Thomas Westcote alias Heuster. (fn. 62) His widow Maud granted the manor in 1429 to John Massy, (fn. 63) whom she is said to have married as her second husband. (fn. 64) John was holding the manor in 1431, (fn. 65) and granted it in that year to Thomas and Nicholas Burdet and others. (fn. 66) Possibly they were trustees for Elizabeth daughter of Thomas Lyttelton, for in 1461—2 the manor was settled upon her and her heirs, (fn. 67) and in 1476 Thomas Burdet gave up the manor to Elizabeth and her son Sir Thomas Lyttelton, (fn. 68) who was known by his mother's name on account of the importance of the property he inherited from her.
