Note
Indenture dated 3 June 1482, of an agreement made "in the high presens of our saide soveraigne lorde" between Sir Thomas Stanley, Lord Stanley, and Margarete, the Countess of Richmounde, his wife. The Lady Margaret, before the marriage, had enfeoffed certain persons of certain manors in Somerset, to perform her will; Lord Stanley confirms. Also, whereas Margarete, now Duchess of Somersette, mother of the Lady Margaret, is now seized for life of certain manors, it is agreed that if Henry, called the Erle of Richmonde, her son, hereafter come into England and be in the King's favour, he shall have an estate of inheritance of part of the reversion thereof, but, if not, the whole shall be divided in to two parts, one to Lord Stanley and the other to the Countess.
