Now the manor and land are in the king's hand by the forfeiture and execution of her son, though he only had a life interest in the manor and land.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to 1416 as other petitions in preceding files from Chancery Files 548 date to this year. The reference to her late son, Henry Scrope confirms this dating, as he was executed for complicity in the Southampton plot against Henry V in August 1415 (Complete Peerage, vol. XI, pp.564-6).
