And afterwards William Trussel, the escheator, was commanded to extend the castles, manors, and lands etc of the said Theobald…so that the king should have the extents in his chancery on the morrow of S Hilary next (14 January 1332), when the heirs and partners of the said inheritance are to receive their pourparties.
