Evidence

from the Warwickshire VCH (6:sub Harbury)

William le Megre, son of this Robert, left two daughters as heiresses, Amice the wife of John le Lou and Margery the wife of Philip le Lou. Their respective portions were both granted away to other subtenants by the end of the 13th century, Amice and her husband conveying to Eustace de Hacche in 1290 16 messuages, 2 gardens, 2 carucates, and 16 virgates of land, 12 acres of meadow, and 16s. of rent in Harbury and Wappenbury, and Philip le Lou conveying a messuage, a carcucate of land, and 7 acres of meadow to Nicholas le Trimenel and Mabel his wife in 1295.

from the Warwickshire VCH (5:sub Moreton Morrell)

...but by 1275 Thomas Trimenel held a moiety of the manor and claimed to have gallows and the assize of bread and ale. His widow Amice, or Avice, married Eustace de Hacche, who in 1279 was lord of one half of the vill of what is here called Sale Moreton, probably from the name of a tenant, which he held of the heir of John, son of Alan of Wolverton, as half a fee, including 6 virgates in 'Merehull'. Eustace had a grant of free warren in his lands here in 1282, and died in 1306. Amice survived him and in 1308 settled the manor of MORETON DAUBENEY on herself for life, with remainder to (her son) Nicholas Trimenel and Margery his wife in tail male. They had a daughter Avice, on whom lands in Moreton and Merhulle were settled in 1312, but no male issue, so that the manor passed to John Trimenel, son of Nicholas by a previous wife. At his death Nicholas left a widow Mabel, upon whom he had settled the manor; Mabel had married John de Wirley by 1339, when they conceded two-thirds of the manor to Sir John Trimenel and Elizabeth his wife. Mabel, however, in 1344 conveyed the reversion of the manor to Thomas, Earl of Warwick, and although Sir John Trimenel registered his claim thereto at the time, in the following year he made over his rights to the earl.
