¹⁹ In the autumn of 1427 Jacques Bourges, chaplain at St. Anne in place of Hugues Ferret (by now deceased) brought a similar suit against Jacques de Trye, husband and heir of Marguerite du Boulay, who had died in 1419 before Henry V had made the grant to Edward Russell. By 1427 Russell was said to have abandoned the fief of Margny, described as being ‘de present … de non valoir’ (A.N., X^1a 8302, fos. 202V, 2O5v). Ferret's will was produced in court on 21 May 1428 (A.N., X^1a 1480, fo. 42ov) and his successor won the case, 29 July 1429 (A.N., X^1a 1481, fo. 16v).
