This grant is linked to the Inspeximus of “Thomas de Berkelay” of the grant of “three hundreds of Portbury, Bedminster and Hareclive” made by “his grandfather Robert Fitzharding to Robert his son” and of their grant to “Dom. Maurice de Gant, the heir of Robert uncle to the said Thomas”, undated (but presumably dated to after the death of Maurice de Gant as it no doubt relates to the challenge to his inheritance by his nephew Robert de Gournay, see below)[1346].

An undated manuscript relating to Croxton Abbey, Leicestershire names “Aviciam” as daughter of “Roberto de Ganth” and his wife Alice, adding that she married ”Roberto filio Roberti Arding de Bristow”, by whom she had “filium…Mauricium” who died childless, leaving “Andreæ Luterel per matrem suam, quæ fuit de parentelli Paynellorum” [he was descended from a younger brother of Maurice’s maternal grandfather] as his heir[1351]. The Annals of Worcester record the death in 1230 of “Mauricius de Gaunt”[1352]. m firstly MATILDA de Oilly, daughter of HENRY de Oilly & his first wife Sibylla --- (-before 1220). The Fine Rolls record the marriage of “Maurice de Gaunt” and “the daughter of Henry de Oilly”, dated Jun “John 15”[1353]. Bracton records a claim, dated 1220, by "Henricus de Oylly" against "Mauricius de Gaunt" for "terre…in Westona" which was granted to Maurice with "Matillidem uxorem eius que fuit filia ipsius Henrici…ipsa defuncta…sine herede"[1354]. “Mauritius de Gant” donated revenue from land "in manerio de Dersleia…quam emi de Margareta matertera mea quæ fuit uxor Othonis filii Willielmi" to Clerkenwell St Mary’s, for the soul of "Matildis uxoris meæ", by undated charter[1355]. m secondly ([1220/21]) as her second husband, MARGARET Crassus, widow of RALPH [II] de Somery of Dudley, Worcestershire, daughter of WILLIAM [III] Crassus & his wife [--- Marshall] (-after 14 Jun 1247).
