Henry II King of England confirmed donations made to the leper hospital at Maiden Bradley, Wiltshire by “Manesserus Biset pro Alicia uxore sua de cujus hæreditate manerium illud est” by undated charter[884]. The 1176/77 Pipe Roll records payments "in terris…Manaserii Biset…in Rochesburn" in Hampshire, suggesting the death of Manasser shortly before[885].

Henry II King of England confirmed donations made to the leper hospital at Maiden Bradley, Wiltshire by “Manesserus Biset pro Alicia uxore sua de cujus hæreditate manerium illud est” by undated charter[886]. Loyd indicates that Alice was the sister and heir of Gilbert de Falaise Seigneur de Cany[887]. “Adelitia de Caneio uxor Manasses Biset” confirmed the donation of “Nemus Haudap quod Ricardus de Morevilla tenebat de me” to Jumièges, for the souls of “mee meique mariti Manasses”, by charter dated to [1150][888]. The 1176/77 Pipe Roll names "Alueua uxor Manseri" in Dorset and Somerset[889], although it is not known whether this entry relates to the widow of Manasser Bisset. The necrology of Longueville records the death 15 May of “domino Giliberto de Falesia, condam domino de Caneio et...domina Adalacia sorore sua”, adding that “dicta...domiona” donated “x acras terræ de exarto sui nemoris d’Eschalunc” for her anniversary and that of “Manaserii Biseti mariti sui” and that “ipsa et maritus suus et filius eorum Henricus” confirmed the donations of “dicti Gilliberti”[890]. The necrology of Longueville records the death 7 Jan of “domino Galtero de Caneiro...helemosinarius et subprior hujus loci per spatium XL annorum et ultra, et...Emelina de Caneio matre ipsius Galteri”[891].

Manasser & his wife had two children: 1. HENRY Bisset (-before 9 Dec 1213). "Henry Bisset" donated the church of Bradley to the canons of Nutley, Berkshire, for the souls of "Manser his father, Alice his mother and Isoud his wife"[892]. “Henricus Bisset” confirmed an agreement between “domum de Brumore” and “mulieres leprosas et fratres” of Maiden Bradley concerning “ecclesia de Rocheburna”, donated by “Manasserus Biset pater meus”, by undated charter[893].

As Iseult’s earlier marriages can be dated to the late 12th century, her age suggests that she must have been Henry’s second wife. "Isolda Biset" paid a fine for "villa de Magorham…Henr Biset quondam vir suus…habuit" in Wiltshire, dated 9 Dec 1213[897]. She married fifthly as his second wife, Amaury [I] de Saint-Amand.
