Narrative
Kingston Hundred p 541
Maud Belet died in or before 1229, when her lands devolved on her kinsman John Belet, who paid ten marks for relief in that year. He died in 1231, leaving two daughters, Emma Oliver, and Alice who married John de Vantort, a tenant on the manor. Thus the manor of Sheen now Richmond, became divided.
This Manor of Shene, was granted to the Belet family abt 1140. By 1290 Edward 1 had acquired large areas of Shene and by 1313 he held the Manor. He gave it to his wife Isabel who held it until her death in 1358, when Edward 111 inherited it and converted it to moated royal palace with hunting ground extending as far as Kew.
In the years before Edward took over Sheen it passed to his daughters, divided between them. See each daughter for data.
