The manor of Pailton, Warwickshire:[2] "The younger William [de Turville] having died without issue, his estates were divided between his sisters, Cecily wife of Roger de Craft, and Pernel wife of Simon de Crewelton (whose descendants took the name of Turville); the third sister, Isabel, who married Walhamet le Poure, seems to have left no issue. Roger de Craft's son Roger was succeeded by his sisters Isabel wife of Hugh de Herdeburgh and Beatrice, whose first husband was William de Charneles."
The manor of Fulbrook, Warwickshire:[3] "The manor of Fulbrook was in the hands of the Crown, apparently by forfeiture, in 1175, when Robert le Franceis answered for the farm and issues thereof. It subsequently came by marriage to William de Turville, who mortgaged it to Aaron the Jew some time before the death of that great financier in 1186. His son predeceased him and in 1217 Maud de Hastings, widow of William de Turville the younger, sued William the elder for the manor as her dower, but he said that it was the inheritance of his wife Isabel. After his death his widow Isabel, in 1220, claimed the manor against Maud de Hastings and obtained it in 1222. The younger William left no issue and his coheirs were his sisters Cecily, wife of Roger de Craft, Pernel, wife of Simon de Creulton (or Cuenton), who took the name of Turville, and Isabel, wife of Walhamet le Poure. Isabel died without issue, and in 1235 Simon de Turville and Roger de Craft answered for ½ knight's fee in Fulbrook and Woodcote. This ½ fee in 1292 was held of the Earl of Warwick by Roger de Craft and John Mace, who had also succeeded Simon at Bedworth and Chelmescote (perhaps as tenant during a minority). The Turvilles seem to have relinquished their share to Roger de Craft or to his son Roger, who died c. 1250 without issue, leaving three coheirs. One sister, Isabel, had married Hugh de Herdebergh; another, Beatrice, married first William de Charneles and, secondly, Henry Hubaud; the third, Cecily de Quattermars, died without issue about 1268. In the Easter term of 1269 Hugh de Herdebergh (son of Isabel) sued Henry Hubaud and Beatrice for his share in the estate of Cecily, his own aunt and sister of Beatrice, in virtue of which he claimed to hold half the manor and advowson of Fulbrook".
The Manor of Penn, Buckinghamshire:[1] "Holding under the honour of Leicester were the Turvilles, of whom William de Turville and Isabel his wife, 1197–1200, are the first mentioned in connexion with Penn. William was succeeded by his son, another William, dead before 1222, in which year his widow Maud and Isabel disputed as to their respective dowries. Neither seems to have obtained PENN MANOR first so-called, which was divided among the sisters and heirs of William, Cecily wife of Roger Croft, Parnel wife of Simon de Creulton or Turville, and Isabel wife of Walhamet le Poure. Isabel died without issue, and in the same year (1222) the Turvilles and in 1224 the Crofts subinfeudated their lands in Penn, the Turvilles retaining the position of intermediary lords until 1329, when they transferred their rights to Sir Hugh de Turpleton, whose interest was represented in 1361 by Walter de Turpleton. The Crofts' rights at that date had descended to Ella le Botiller."
A footnote to the above stated "Cecily Croft's son Roger died childless in 1255 (Cal. Inq. p.m. Hen. III, 87), leaving three sisters as co-heirs, Cecily, Isabella and Beatrice. Cecily died without issue and Isabella was succeeded by her son Hugh de Herdebegh holding in 1254 (V.C.H. Bucks. ii, 367; Assize R. 63, m. 11). He was grandfather of Ella le Botiller and Isabel her sister mentioned in 1286 (Assize R. 63, m. 11) and 1296 (Chan. Inq. p.m. 25 Edw. I, no. 51b). Beatrice's son Nicholas de Charneles held rights in Penn in 1286 (Assize R. 63, m. 11) and was succeeded by 1296 by George de Charneles (Chan. Inq. p.m. 25 Edw. I, no. 51b), when a settlement was made on the heirs male."
However, there is no evidence that the Roger de Croft who died in 1255 was a son of Roger and Cecily de Craft as he held lands in Lancashire not Buckinghamshire and he had an heir, Henry.[4]
