Edward Pomeroy held no lands or tenements of the king in chief in demesne as of fee. He held the following jointly with Margaret (Beville ,Lady Pomeroy) his wife, who survives.
The manor was granted by John de la Pomeray, chevalier and Joan (de Merton) his wife, to Edward and Margaret and the heirs male of the body of Edward, to hold of John and Joan, and the heirs of John, paying to them for the life of John £46 yearly at Midsummer, Michaelmas, Christmas, and Easter; and then paying to Joan, for the term of her life, and to the heirs of John, a grain of wheat at Michaelmas; and doing all other services to the chief lords of the fee.
The grant was by fine [CP 25/1/33/32/24] at Westminster, dated three weeks from Easter, 1404 [recited in full], in which Margaret was described as the daughter of John Bevylle .
Reversion was to John de la Pomeray and Joan and the heirs of John, to hold of the chief lords of the fee by the customary services. Edward and Margaret gave 100 marks of silver. By virtue of the fine Edward was seised in demesne as of fee tail, and Margaret in demesne as of free tenement.
Tregony, the manor, held of the king, of the duchy of Cornwall, of the castle of Launceston, by knight service. In the manor there is a capital messuage, worth nothing yearly;
72 tenements with curtilages, each worth 6d. yearly; 20 ferlings of land, each worth 3s. 4d. yearly;

The legend goes that in 1418 Sir Thomas Pomeroy, who had in 1388 in a secret and hurried ceremony married Joanna Pomeroy, the sister & co- heir of the Baron Pomeroy, Sir John, & with his cousin Sir John Cole, son of Johanna's sister & co-heir of Margaret, waged a campaign against the nominated and rightful heir, Edward Pomeory. Thomas & John collaborated in a scheme to get the barony for themselves.
Edward & his wife Margaret Bevill lived at Tregony & Sir Thomas with John Cole rode 60 miles to Tregony with an armed band of 100 soldiers where they forced their way into the castle.
The tales goes that they locked Lady Margaret in her room for several days without food or water & defenestrated Edward ejecting him from his house by way of a window
The intention of this unpleasantness was to bully Edward into relinquishing the barony to them . Edward may have refused but they got what they demanded anyway when , by decree of Henry IV , Sir Thomas, knight was made the Baron Pomeroy after the death of Baron John, who had no male heirs.
Ultimately when Thomas died childless in 1426 the barony reverted to its rightful heir, Edward . As baron Sir Edward & his wife Lady Margaret ruled the barony for 20 years until in 1446 Edward died. The next Baron Pomeroy was another Henry the 9th so named.
Edward Pomeroy had been given Tregony Mano, with its castle and por,t by Sir John the baron around the time he married Lady Margaret Beville ,daughter of the High Sheriff of Cornwall Sir John Beville. The following are Sir Edwards holdings by right of knights service.
The following are held of the manor by the following services.
These are all tiny pieces of land . probably mainly smallholdings & small farms
