To have and to hold of me and my heirs to them and their heirs who will be born of Hawise, well, peacefully, freely and quietly in free marriage.* And if it should happen, which God forbid, that Hawise should die without an heir begotten by Hugh, all the said rent will revert peacefully together with the homage and service into my hands or the hands of my heirs. And be it known that if I Margaret or my heirs can acquire and deliver to Hugh those six virgates of land with appurtenances which the prior of Brackley and Henry de Faffinton hold in the will of Wigston Magna or if we have made an exchange to the value of the said six virgates in the same county before he takes Hawise his wife to his home, then the aforenamed £4 8s rent will revert peacefully to me and my heirs. And I Margaret and my heirs will warrant to Hugh and Hawise his wife and their heirs who will be born of Hawise all the said rent, as is aforesaid, against all people. In order that this should be valid I have affixed my seal to the pre sent writing.
