The release by John le Blount in 1374 to his brother Walter of all his rights in the lands in Gayton, Yeldersley, Brushfield, etc., where were Mountjoy manors in the 13th and 14th centuries, suggests that a portion of the Mountjoy estates had descended by inheritance to John, then eldest surviving son of John le Blount and Isoude. It was a portion only, because (i) Gayton and Yeldersley, etc. descended, throught the marriage of Isoude (daughter and heir of Serle de Mountjoy, son and heir of Ralph de Mountjoy) to Robert de Ireland; the family of Ireland were still holding temp.
