Property

Kidderminster

"In 1187 livery of Kidderminster was given to Manasser's heir, who seems to have been his son Henry. Henry Biset paid £8 as the farm of the town for one quarter in 1194. In 1201, however, Geoffrey Fitz Piers was holding the manor at farm from King John, but Henry Biset the dapifer received a new grant from the king of this and other manors, and agreed to pay 500 marks in instalments for the vills of Kidderminster and Sandhurst . " [4]

"Kidderminster appears to have been restored to the Bisets after King John's death. It does not appear whether Henry Biset's heir, his son William, ever actually held the manor. William's widow, Sarah, married Richard Keynes , and in 1223 failed to defend her claim to dower in Kidderminster against her daughter-in-law Isolde, widow of William Biset the younger*, and her second husband, Aumary St. Amand. Under an exchange with John Biset, brother and heir of the younger William, Aumary held the whole manor instead of the third which was his wife's dower. In 1228 he had grant of free warren and a yearly fair. "

Isolde was the widow of Henry and the mother-in-law, Sarah being the widow of William the younger and the daughter-in-law

"This grant was renewed to John Biset in 1238. "

Priory of Maiden Bradley

"Manasser's son, Henry Biset, succeeded him as patron of the hospital." [5]
