Robert de Tateshale, and Mabell his wife, who was the eldest, had the castle and manors of Bukenham, Wimondham, &c. for their capital seat.

John, son of John Fitz-Alan, and Isabel his wife, who was fourth sister, had Arundel castle, manor, &c. for their capital seat.

Roger de Somery, who married Nicholea, the third sister had Barwe in Leicestershire, &c. for their chief seat.

And thus the castle and manor came to

Sir Robert de Tateshale, who made it his principal seat.
