[Dorset FOF, pages 114/5 ] 300. 1257-1258. At Westminster, in the octaves of St. Michael, between the Abbot of Bynedon, complainant, by brother John le Leiie, his monk, in his place, and William de Monte Acuto and Berca his wife, impedients, of the manor of Westlullewrth [Lulworth West]. Plea of warranty of deed was summoned between them. William and Berca acknowledged the manor, namely, all the lands and tenements which they before held in the said manor as in demesnes, homages, rents, services, wards, reliefs, escheats and all other things to those lands and tenements belonging, to be the right of the Abbot and his church of Bynedon, as by their gift. To have and to hold to the Abbot and his successors and his church from William and Berca and the heirs of Berca forever, rendering therefor yearly in the church of Gerlington, co. Somerset, twenty pounds sterling at four terms, namely, ---------- for all service, suit of Court, custom and demand to William and Berca and the heirs of Berca belonging, and doing therefor to the chief lords of that fee for William and Berca and the heirs of Berca all other services which to the said lands and tenements do pertain. And William and Berca and the heirs of Berca will warrant to the Abbot and his successors and his church, the said lands and tenements by the services aforesaid against all men forever. If the Abbot or his successors make default in the payment of the money at any term, it shall be lawful to William and Berca and the heirs of Berca to distrain them by their chattels found on the whole manor of Westlullewrth and to drive them wherever it pleases them in the county of Dorset and there retain them until full payment of the money in arrear be made for that term. And likewise that the Abbot and his successors shall restore to them all damages and expenses which they might have by occasion of detaining the said money as is aforesaid. And the Abbot received William and Berca and the heirs of Berca into all benefices and orisons which henceforth would be done in his church aforesaid forever.
Reference:
The Feet of Fines relating to the county of Dorset, ----------:” edited by Edward A. Fry and George S. Fry, published 1896.
The Dorset fine dated 1289-1290 [pages 249/50] defines that the Abbot of Bynedon held lands in the manor of Westlullesworth of Simon Montague at the same terms as the fine dated 1257-1258. Therefore confirms that Berca was the mother of Simon Montague.
