Philippa, the widow of Roger de Bradeburn states that Henry, Roger's son and heir dowered her with lands and tenements in Derbyshire, especially in the manors of Bradbourne and Heage and in 'Le Burwes', but also with a third of the rest of his inheritance throughout the county; and that Henry enfeoffed, gave, granted and confirmed all the rest of his inheritance to her, to hold to her and her heirs forever - as his charter on the matter shows - and put her in seisin of this on the Friday following the feast of the translation of St Thomas last, when he went overseas on the business of the earl of Lancaster. She remained in seisin during the whole of Henry's life and after, until the king's escheator seized the lands and tenements into his hand because of Henry's forfeiture. She requests a remedy.
