  Notes
  Blomefield has, under Gressenhale:
  
  Robert [de Stuteville] married Joan, daughter and heir of William Talbot of Gainesburgh, in Lincolnshire, and died seized of this town, held of the Earl Warren by 2 knights fees, in the first year of King Edward I. viz. a capital messuage, a water-mill, a wind-mill, 200 acres of pasture, a kar, &c. all valued at 19l. 3s. 4d. and was a great benefactor to the abbey of Wendling, leaving Margery his sister and heir, (Dugdale says he had a son and heir, John, but it does not appear, ut supra.) married to Richard Foliot, son of Jordon Foliot, (son of Jordan, by Beatrix his wife, daughter and coheir of Hugh Bardolph.)
  Carthew p.190 has:
  
  Robert de Stutevile, son and heir of William, is said to have died in the first year of Edward I., without issue, leaving Margery, his only sister and heir, married to Richard Fobot, by whom she was mother of Jordan Foliot ; and in the third year of that reign an inquisition was held as to lands of Jordan Foliot in the county of York, which wereRobert de Stutevile's his uncle, whose heir he was, and from which he had been ejected by the king's escheator under the plea that they were held of the king in chief, which the jurors found not to be the fact.3 Jordan was in possession of Gressenhall in that year, when the jurors of the Hundred returned that Robert de Stutevile, in his lifetime, had appropriated to himself, de novo, warren in Brisele and Fransham ; and that Jordan Folyot claimed liberties in Gressenhall, Wendling, Lechesham, and Wesenham, but they could not say by what right. It was however afterwards said that he had assize of bread and ale, and held view of frank-pledge in those towns, and also in Brisele and Stanfeld. Richard Foliot, the father,lived until 1299, and it appears from an inquisition held at York on the 23rd June in that year,4 that Jordan his son and heir, who was then fifty years old, survived his father only five weeks, and that Richard Foliot, the son and heir of Jordan and Margery his wife, had attained the age of fifteen on the Christmas Day preceding the date of the inquisition.5 Robert de Stutevile had been a benefactor to the Abbey of Wendling, of which he was patron in 1273, as had Jordan Foliot ; and the Lady Margery, his widow, was buried in the church of that abbey in 1330. Sir Jordan had been summoned to Parliament as a baron in 23 and 25 Edward I., 1295-7, but it does not appear that any of his descendants were, by that title.
  Farrer HKF III:
  
  In 1273 Robert son of William de Stutevill of Gressenhall, for the soul of Joan his wife, gave to the abbot of Wendling all the land of his fee in Wendling, Seaming, Gressenhall, Great and Little Fransham, given by William de Wendling the founder.38 He died before August 1275, being described as uncle of Jordan Foliot, who was his heir.39 In 1262 reference occurs to William Talbot, a Norman, father of Joan wife of Robert de Stutevill, whose heir she was.40 Possibly she was Joan, mother of Baldwin Wake, who died in 1276.41 Jordan Foliot was son of Richard Foliot of Norton, Yorks., by the sister of Robert de Stutevill. It was presented in 1276 that Robert de Stutevill had had warren in Cowesby which Jordan Foliot then held,42 and in Norfolk in the preceding year that Jordan Foliot had view of frankpledge and other liberties in the vills of Gressenhall, Wendling, Lexham, Weasenham, Bresley and Stanfield.43 In 1282 Jordan held 2 fees in Cowesby and elsewhere in Yorkshire of Baldwin Wake of Lydell, Cumb., and of Cottingham and Ayton in Cleveland, Yorks.44
