Timeline

A writ dated 4 October 23 Edward I [1295], after the death of Isabel, late wife of Simon de Bello Campo, resulted in an Inquisition in Bedford on the Sunday after St Martin in 23 Edward I, which was 13 November 1295. The jury found that Isabel held the manor of Wottone in dower by the assignment of Simon son of William de Bello Campo, and the heirs of the barony of Bedford were:

1. Roger, aged 30 plus, son of Simon's sister Maud de Maubray;
2. Joan, aged 30, daughter of Simon's sister Ela, and wife of Ralph Paynel;
3. Isabel, aged 24, daughter of Ida, daughter of Simon's sister Ela, and wife of Simon de Pateshulle;
4. Elizabeth, aged 34, daughter of Simon's sister Ela, and the wife of John de Horbur'
5. the heirs of the body of Beatrice sometime sister of the said Simon, who were Otto deceased, Maud aged 26 married to John Botetourte, and William de Montecanyso of Edwardestone, aged 12, but because Otto survived his mother the jury were doubtful whether Beatrice's share of the barony should revert to the children of her first or second husband.^[1]

On 1 February 1296, a Mandate under the privy seal was sent to John de Langeton, chancellor, to receive the fealty of John de Boteturte, the husband of Maud, for her pourparty of the manor of Wutton.^[1]

On 14 May 30 Edward I [1301] a writ was sent to the escheator concerning the property held by William de Monte Caniso of the king, of the inheritance of Beatrice de Bello Campo, his wife. Inquisition post mortems were taken at Bedeford on 24 May, at Belchamp co Essex on 27 May, at Worcester, Suffolk on 26 August, and at Chelmeresford, Essex on 24 August that same year; Beatrice had died during the life of her son Otho;^[4] Otho had lately died too;^[4] so Maud his sister, aged 30, was the next heir of the said Beatrice;^[4] William was also dead and his son William aged 24 and more was his next heir.^[4]

BROMHAM MANOR, Bedfordshire, passed to Beatrice Beauchamp wife of Thomas Fitz Otho, who died in 1274, when she married William de Monchensey.^[5]
