Bracton records a claim, dated 1224, by "Thurstanus le Despenser" against "abbatem de Abbendonia" relating to land for which "eidem Thurstano et Almaricus pater suus" had done homage to the abbey[139]. "Thurstan Despencer" made a fine "for having confirmation of the lands of Worthy and Stanley, which King Henry, the king´s grandfather, gave to Walter uncle of the aforesaid Thurstan, whose heir he is", dated [Feb] 1229[140].
