to Isabella, who

of the said Thomas Sturmy.
Dated at Ingleby the Thursday next before the feast of St.
Thomas, 1365. Ch. 167. c
However Robert's father John de Eure is not believed to have died until 1365/6. Has John given Ingleby to his son Robert before his death, or is John's date of death in error? John demised all his lands in fee to Robert his son on Sunday after Corpus Christi 38 Edward III
4 If John de Eure died c1365 then Robert must have died shortly after his father. War, disease? More likely the latter since death in war is usually recorded.
