Indenture tripartite containing the agreement made beteen the Earl Dulvestere (of Ulster) on the one part, and Sir Hugh le Despencer, the father, and Sir Roger Damory on the others. Sir Roger having demanded Stepul Cleydon manor from Sir Hugh by writ of novel dissseisin, it is agreed, by command and request of the Earl, that Sir Hugh hold the said manor in peace according to the Earl's grant to him thereof, and that the Earl grant to Sir Roger and Elizabeth his wife the reversion of Whaddon manor for ever. If the Earl think this demand excessive for Stepul Cleydon manor, SIr Roger and his wife are willing to grant him Lyssethorethragh and Esclon manors, and also the manor of Grallagh (Ireland) to be held for the Earl's life, rather than lose this bargain, provided that those three manors return to Dame Elizabeth at the Earl's death. If the Earl will not agree to this bargain it is to be proposed that he give 500/. silver to Sir Roger for Stepulcleydon manor or 400/. or 500 marcs silver at least, to be paid at the Octaves of St. Hilary next in the house of Sir Hugh at London. If the Earl is willing to grant the said reversion and entail it on the children of Sir Roger and Dame Elizabeth, then Grallgh manor shall remain in their hands. If the Earl agree to perform one or other of the above points, let him give fit security to perform it within reasonable time; otherwise he shall be trusted and his good faith, but let him inform Sir Hugh, by letter under his seal, fully his will herein, and within what time he will do so, and let him inform Sir Roger inthe same way. For this end the"vadletz" of Sir Hugh and Sir Roger-John de Cromhale, Robert de Knaresburgh, and Henry de Lucy-shall go to Ireland and show the Earl the above business, taking one part of this indenture, another part being with Sir Hugh, and the third with Sir Roger. 14 Edw II. 25 Aug 1320
