Research Notes:
clerk [Ref: Richardson RoyalAnc v1p367]
cleric, who apparently died without issue [Ref: Paul Reed SGM 8/2/2000-B]

1301: "John Bigot, clerk, and [R]oger his brother, earl Marshal, patron of Thetford" were ordered to desist from interferencein the priory of Thetford, co Norfolk [Ref: Paul Reed SGM 8/2/2000-B]

heir of his brother, the Earl of Norfolk [Ref: Paul Reed SGM 8/2/2000-B]

1306: heir to his brother, Roger, Earl of Norfolk [Ref: Richardson RoyalAnc v1p369]

jury for the lands in Essex determined that "John le Bigod, his brother, aged 400, is his next heir, but this manor ought to remain to the king and his heirs by the form of the grant aforesaid"; juries for Sussex and Suffolk came to the same finding [Ref: Paul Reed SGM 8/2/2000-B]

Mar 6 1312: order given to the escheator beyond Trent to take into the king's hand the lands late of John Bygot, clerk, deceased, tenant by knight service of the heir of John Wake, tenant in chief of Edward I, a minor in the king's ward [Ref: Paul Reed SGM 8/2/2000-B]

May 31 1312: order given by the King to stay the inquisition to be made concerning the land of John le Bygod, clerk, deceased, and not to intermeddle further with the same lands. If the lands had been held by John in his own right, and he had been lawfully seised of them at his death, this would have been an unjust order. But if the lands are those to which he might have had some right as only surviving brother and heir of the late Earl of Norfolk, the king would be justified in stopping the inquisition as the deceased would have had no rights in the inheritance or lands by reason of the 1302 settlement [Ref: Paul Reed SGM 8/2/2000-B]

Walter of Guisborough/Hemingburgh relates that the Earl of Norfolk had borrowed money from his brother John, a wealthy man. The brother John demanded repayment. The Earl stated that whenhe died John would be heir to all that he had. John replied, why should that interest him? He wanted the money. So the Earl repaid him, but disinherited him by granting the Earldom of Norfolk and all its lands to the King [Ref: Paul Reed SGM 8/2/2000-B]
