Notities over John DRIBY

All Sir Simon's properties come under the possession of his younger brother John, who is a priest.

In 1329, only days before she died John's mother Joan Tateshall entailed her Tateshall inheritance (all in Leicestershire) on her son John and, after him, to his heirs, which on the surface appears quite strange, as Joan Tateshall's own properties, under the common law of the time, would have automatically gone to her son anyway and, from there, to her daughter Alice (the ancestress of the medieval Barons Cromwell and many other noble families). Furthermore, if Joan had not created this entail, John could not have alienated the land to anyone else without his sister's permission as she was his next heir. By creating an entail, Joan was actually making it possible for John to pass Joan's Leicestershire inheritance on to someone else other than her daughter Alice, lady Bernake. It possibly means that the actions John took some years later had actually been planned by Joan Tateshall before she died.

John enfeoffs a set of feoffees to assign the Tateshall-derived Leicestershire properties to John de Driby and his wife Amy de Gaveston (also, Anne de Gaveston), the daughter of Peter de Gaveston and the joint issue of their bodies, failing which to Sir John de Kirketon and his issue, failing which to Sir Robert de Littlebury and his issue, failing which to John's own right heirs (his sister Alice Bernake). Thus, according to this entail, the younger John de Driby, should he not have any issue by Anne de Gaveston, could not pass on Joan Tateshall's Tateshall inheritance to children by another wife.

Clearly, this entail was aimed at Anne de Gaveston, not at her husband John de Driby. Anne, thus, was someone whom Joan Tateshall seems to have thought of as a co-heiress of at least the Tateshall properties and as much deserving of an inheritance as her own daughter Lady Bernake. This strange set of entailments, first to her son John who was a priest, then from John the priest to Anne de Gaveston and her husband John de Driby, would, thus, be Joan Tateshall's way to grant an inheritance to Anne without having to clarify why she was receiving an inheritance.
