Many thanks Vance. My poor Latin arrived at something very similar, but I a=
m still struggling the meaning of this clause. It is from the will of Simon=
 de Sudbury, the archbishop murdered by the mob during the Peasants' Revolt=
... Why would any servant get a fee (fief) after the death of the archbishop?=
 And the use of 'his office', does that refer to the office of the archbish=
op, or the office of his servants?
