Dear John ~

If the Morley family held West Winch and Lynn direct of the king as
part of the honour of Rye, they surely did not get these properties
through the marriage of Sir William de Morley to Cecily Bardolf.
Rather, the Morley family would have received these properties as part
of the inheritance of Sir William de Morley's mother, Hawise Marshal,
who was the heiress of the honour (or barony) of Rye. I'm sure that
if you check the history of the honour of Rye, you'ill find that these
properties were part of that honour long belong Cecily Bardolf's
time.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah
