“His eldest brother, Simon de Fleg, about 1241 inherited the family manors and other estates, and dying without issue was succeeded about 1265 by the next brother, William5 de Fleg, who died without sons about 1280, having settled the ancestral estates upon his daughters who carried them by marriage into the Mauteby and Brampton families, as previously described. Philip5 de Fleg therefore never succeeded to the family manors, so he and his descendants did not have the wealth and rank of landed gentry held by his ancestors, but became absorbed in the yeoman class, holding lands by leases of manorial lords.”1671
