Ralph le Strange, of Mileham & Ercall

Ralph of Ercall was dead in June 1194, and was succeeded by two daughters, the elder of whom, Matilda, married Fulk de Oirri, of Gedney, in Lincolnshire, and the younger, Emma, was the wife of Philip de Burnham. A long litigation, lasting from 1194 to 1217, ensued as to their respective shares of Ralph's inheritance both in Norfolk and Shropshire ; the details are given by Eyton 4 from the Plea and other Rolls, but, for genealogical purposes, they are scarcely worth reproducing here.
