~ Cokayne's Complete Peerage, 2nd Edition, Vol. V, (Erdington), p. 87
• Background Information. 1116
Thomas, her eldest son of Ralph de Normanville who died on pilgrimage to Santiago in 1259, was only two and a half years old at his father's death [Cal. Inq. Hen. III, i, no. 421]. He inherited the manor of Empingham, but Kenardington, co. Kent was divided between him and his brother Ralph, according to the law of gavelkind [Cal. Fine R. 1272-1307, pp. 172, 187; Cal. Inq. ii, no. 479]. Thomas died in 1282, leaving Ralph, his brother, heir to his Kent property [Ibid.], but Margaret, his daughter, a minor, seems to have been heir to his Rutland estates.
