Biography

On 10 Apr 1239, a fine was made whereby some adjustments were made to accommodate Juliana. Ralph Bassett of Sapcote and his wife Millicent recognised 1½ carucates in Strubby (Lincs) to be the maritagium of Juliana, widow of Robert of Chacombe. Gilbert de Segrave and his wife Amabell, sister of Millicent, conceded to them 100 solidates of land and rent in Chaucombe, viz. 4 virgates and 10s. worth of rent from the mill. Juliana quitclaimed to Ralph and Millicent all her dower rights in the manor of Great Dalby. In return they conceded to Juliana a dower of 8 marks per year and after Juliana's death the land in Strubby was to revert to Ralph and Millicent. The 100 shillings in rent from Chaucombe would revert to Gilbert and Mabel.

[William T. Reedy, Basset Charters c1120-1250. London; Pipe Roll Society, 1995. no. 149].

The significant point about the above charter is that Julian's maritagium is specifically stated to be two carucates, or one and a half carucates of land with pertinences in Strubby. Robert de Chacombe is recorded as holding a third part of Scruby [i.e Strubby] in 1210/2 as an escheat owing to felony [RBE, p.518]. There are two Strubbys in Lincolnshire, one associated with, and referred to, as sokeland of Aby. It was located near Maltby le Marsh, four miles south west of Mablethorpe, on the coast. The other Strubby is near Langton by Wragby 25 miles west of the other Strubby. Evidence indicates that it is the former in which the Chaucombes had an interest.
