Cottisford, Oxfordshire: Grant of virgate
Item
[late 12th century - early 13th century]
Grant by Robert Albus de Cottesford [Cottisford] to the church of St Mary of Bec of a virgate of land which his sister and nephew claim; and if he cannot secure the same by reason of their claim, he grants another virgate in its place from the land which he holds in his own hand. But if the abbot shall bear him an injury by granting [?] to those who claim that land he will restore to the brothers the 20s which he received of the charity of the said church or grant to them another virgate like that which they formerly received from him. But if he grants them this other virgate he shall receive 20s above those which he received before from the said brothers. His heirs agree to this compact.
