At York, on the morrow of All Souls, 42 Henry III (3 Nov 1257), there was a concord that records a demise of the manor or township of Breightmet to Avina, mother of the daughters and coheirs of the said Sir William de Samlesbury for life, and a settlement of this estates, subject to this life interest, upon her three daughters. Avina had brought Breightmet to her husband in marriage. In 1212, William de Notton, son of Gilbert de Notton, held this township of the heir of Ranulf de Marsey by service of 8s. yearly [Testa, ii., f. 827]. It is very likely that this land passed to Matthew de Notton, a younger son of William, and that Avina was his daughter and heir.
