The Bluets 126 in any of the records held by the Wiltshire & Swindon History Centre. Then, in January 1361, 555 Peter and Margaret put forward an action to “grant back and render the manors to be held directly by Peter and the heirs of Peter‘s body” . This was a legal action called a Plea of Covenant by which the plaintiff (Peter and Margaret) alleged that the defendants ( in this case John de Burbach the vicar of Helmerton church, and Walter Fynamour) had failed to keep an agreement (to grant back and render the land to Peter) 556 It was noted that this was a moiety of the manors, and that the remainder (and, as it turned out, Peter‘s part as well, there being no heirs) went to Edmund Baynard and his wife Eleanor [Bluet, Margaret‘s younger sister] 557 Peter de Cusaunce was obviously important within the county – he was Sheriff of Wilshire in 1377 and presented the rector to the church at Hilperton in 1380. In the windows of Silchester Church coats of arms relating to the holding families of the manor could be found 558 . Each coat of arms was in a separate window, and it might be that each was financed by different members of the famil. In his article on the history of Lackham 559 Kite gives a coat of arms which includes those said to be of de Cusaunce 560 555 Actually the action (see next fn for reference) took place in the week beginning on the Quin[dene] of Hil[ary] 35 Edw III which is the 21st of January 1361. Hilary was “formerly, one of the four terms of the courts of common law in England, beginning on the eleventh of January and ending on the thirty-first of the same month, in each year; - so called from the festival of St. Hilary, January 13 th ”. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Hilary 556 Elrington CR (1974) (ed) Feet of Fines Edw III WRS Introduction, pp6-7 557 Elrington CR (1974) (ed) Feet of Fines Edw III WRS no 488 p118 558 Bishop Gibson, in Cambden‘s Brittanica (1695) describes three coats of arms, viz in a field sable, seven fusils argent bendwise [Cusaunce], in a field sable, a fesse between two chevrons or [Baynard] and in a field or an eagle displayed with two heads gules [Bluet]. 559 Kite, E (1899) Old Lackham House and its Owners Wilts.

The Bluets 127 Fig. 23 Supposed arms of de Cusaunce * The presence of the Baynard arms and crest here is difficult; Peter was not descended from the Baynard - Bluet marriage but the de Cusaunce- Bluet one. It is likely this is not an actual coat of arms but a composite put together for some unknown reason, possibly by Withie. Peter de Cusaunce died without issue and his portions of Silchester, Hilmarton and Lackham passed to Eleanor Baynard, nee Bluet. 561 . Leland 562 noted that one of the Blueths leaving no sons, the land not entaylid to the heire (male or generale) came by marriage to one Peter de Cusaunce, and after to one Edmunde Baynard, coming out of the Baynards of Essex whose name is now ther obscured. The lands of the Blueths entaylid to heyre male of that name blazon included the Baynard crest of a demi-unicorn rampant and their motto Vive ut Vivas. 561 Victoria County History Hampshire and Isle of Wight p 54. Victoria County History does not mention Hilmarton but it is known that he was lord of this Manor as well 562 Leland (1540) Itinerary vi, p53, quoted in Kite, E (1899) Old Lackham House and its Owners Wilts.
