Kenneth C Rogers (1979). Lacock Abbey Charters. Devizes, Wiltshire.
Notification that, whereas there has arisen a difference about certain liberties in the Isle of Wight between Isabel de Forz countess of Aumale and Devon and the abbess of Lacok, at length, Isobel for her soul and that of her mother Amice, formerly countess of Devon, and her sister Margery, formerly a nun of Lacok, has granted to the abbess that she may have in future all the amercements of her men of her manor of Schorewell, which she had by gift of Amice, as often as they shall happen to be amerced in her (ie Isabel's) court of Neuport, and the abess shall levy the amercements by estreats which she shall receive in the court from Isabel's bailiffs, saving however, amercements arising in any way from trespasses done to her, her bailiffs and ministers by the abbess or her men. All the abbess's men of her manor of Schorewell shall come to the view of frankpledge or law-day (Lagheday) or hundred of Westmedine at Caresbrok twice a year before Isabel's bailiffs as touching the king's peace, and shall there make presentments and answers as others of the hundred do concerning all the articles which belong to the view of frankpledge according to the customs used in those parts. And if any of the men and tenants of the abbess ought to be punished for breaking the assize of bread and ale or for any other crime for which they merit judgment by the bailiffs and the consideration of the court, let judgment be carried out on them according to the law and custom of the realm. The abbess grants that if in future any writing should be found in her hands by which her tenants ought to be quit of or accustomed to leave Isabel's hundred which is called law-day (Lagheday) or view of frankpledge, or by which the abbess could hold a view of frankpledge for her men and tenants, then that writing shall be held for nothing as far as it concerns the matter of view of frankpledge, because by this writing the abbess has remised and quitclaimed her right or claim to hold it to Isabel for ever.

In 1279 the Countess of Aumarl was free tenant of Goring, Oxfordshire.
     Isabel died on 10 November 1293. Harewood was escheated to the Crown on her death. She died without living issue and was succeeded in part by her cousin Warin's son, Robert.
Isabel's heir was her kinsman Robert de L'Isle, Lord of Rougemont. An entry in the Originalia Roll for 1309 states that Robert de L'Isle - then long since dead - held the manor of Harewood of the King's father (i.e. Edward I) in chief, and that it was in the King's hand by reason of the minority of the heir. The difficulty that arose, owing to the claim of Hugh de Courtenay to the Redvers estates, gave the Crown the pretext for seizing them until Hugh came of age. Meanwhile, Warin le L'Isle, son of Robert, also died leaving his son Robert a minor. Eventually the estates were partitioned between the claimants and Harewood was among the manors allotted to Robert, son of Warin De L'Isle, as heir of the FitzGerald blood.
In 1301, Hugh de Curteney, son and heir of Hugh de Curteney petitioned the King stating that while he was underage and in the King's wardship after his father's death, Isabel de Forz, Countess of Aumale and of Devon, whose heir he is, died. And the King gave him the lands that were his father's and some of the Countess' lands, but some of the Countess' lands he withheld and still withholds, namely the Isle of Wight and Christchurch in Hampshire, Vauxhall in Surrey and the honour of Walbrook in London, of which the King falsely claims to have been enfeoffed by the Countess. Hugh will suffer this at present, and asks the King to be advised and to do justice to him on another occasion when he understands better. But as for the manors of Breamore and Lymington in Hampshire, and Honiton in Devon, of which the Countess died seised in her demesne as in fee, have nothing to do with these other lands, Hugh asks that as he is of age and has done homage to the King, and as the King has no title to them, the King might give them to him as the Countess' next heir. He also asks that, as the Countess' next heir, he might have the manors of Upper Heyford and Nuneham Courtenay, Oxfordshire, Pishiobury and Sawbridgeworth in Essex, Harewood and Kirkby Overblow in Yorkshire, and the advowson of the church of Brigham in Cumberland, as the King has seized these lands only because of his minority. And he will be prepared to answer to all those who wish to claim right in them.
Isabel de Fortibus, Countess of Albemarle & Devon, Lady de L'isle confirmed to the monks of Bolton 2 curacates of land in Weeton & Halthwaite, a gift confirmed by Edward II in 1307. Ditto, confirmed by Edw III (1327-77). She was the subject of an Inquisition Post Mortem held on 13 March 1312. Isabel de Fortibus, sometime Countess of Albemarle. Writ to the escheator. Whereas before the justices of oyer and terminer it was agreed that, of the lands etc. that were of the said Isabel, the manor of Hayford Warin, co. Oxford, excepting 2 1/2 virgates land, and the manors of Passebury, co. Hertford, and Harwode & Kirkeby, co. York, excepting a messuage and 1 carucate land in Lofthous in Harewode, ought to descend to Robert de Insula, as her next heir of the inheritance of Margery, the wife of Baldwin de Vernoun, her grandmother; and that the manor of Newenham, co. Oxford, 2 1/2 virgates land in Hayford Warin, and a messuage and 1 carucate land in Lofthous, ought to descend to Hugh de Curtenay, as her next heir of the inheritance of the said Baldwin her grandfather; he is to enquire whether the advowson fo the church of Briggeham, co. Cumberland, which was of the said Isabel, pertains to the said Hugh or to the said Robert, 13 March, 5 Edw II.
Cumberland. Inq. Saturday 8 April, 5 Edw II.
Brigham. The advowson of the church is not of the inheritance of the said Baldwin nor of that of the said Margery, but one Thomas de Hothwayt who married Joan daughter of one of the heirs of John de Brigham, sometime lord of the manor and advowson of Brigha, and who, after the said Joan's death, held a moiety of the same by the courtesy of England, by fine levied before the justices of King Henry III, quitclaimed the said advowson to the said countess and heirs for ever; by reason whereof she was seised of the advowson at alternate turns, and Hugh de Curtenay who is her nearest kinsman on the side of her said grandfather, and not Robert de Insula, is her next heir of this advowson , because she thus acquired it, and by reason of the dignity of male blood.
