[OF JOHN, SON of THOMAS of MALIND.]

To all the faithful of Christ who shall view the present letters, Norman de Lescelin, son of Norman, the Constable, health everlasting in the Lord. Know all of you that I have quitclaimed for ever to the abbot and convent of Lundors, for me and my heirs, all right of bondship (jus ligiacionis) which I claimed to have on John, son of Thomas of Malind, and in all the issue of his body (in omnem sequelum de corpore suo exeuntem) saving the claim which I have upon others of the kin of the said John. And in testimony of this quitclaim I have put my seal to this writ. Given at the chapel of St. Apollinaris, on Saturday next after the Translation of St. Thomas the Martyr [July 71], in the year of grace MCCLIII., there being present Sir Bartholomew Fleming and Sir Andrew de Lescelin, knights; William, Thane of Kintore; Robert de Tubertyn, clerk; . . . and others.
