I have two questions on this.
Is this Nicholas FitzRobert, the same person who married a Sibyl
Somebody, had a son Ralph, who married a Matilda le Ram, and this last
couple had a son Nicholas who died in 1312 ? This line eventually did
call itself FitzNichol and are ancestral to the royal British
household in a variety of ways, but I end this line at Katherine
(FitzNichol) Poyntz at Iron Acton. I do not however have her marked
as an heiress, so it's possible the line continued, that she had
brothers, who I just haven't yet recorded.

Second question, did you mean to be vague in stating that the Manor
passed from Thomas Basset to Joan (Basset) Seymour (without going
through her father Andrew)? Or are you proposing that this Joan was a
daughter of Thomas?
