BALDWIN MALET OF ENMORE AND DEANDON.*
Baldwin, the son of John Malet and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John de Kingston, was at his father's death, being under age, placed under the guardianship of Margaret Beauchamp.** In Sir A.M.'s MSS. there are forty-seven extracts containing his name; most of these give the name only. Some few are of interest: one*** shows that Baldwin's wife Elizabeth was living in 1373; another,+ dated 3 Richard II, 1380, is an engagement entered into by Baldwin and Elizabeth his wife with John Hull,++ that their son and heir apparent, John, should marry Joan Hull, and setting apart for their residence and maintenance the manor of St. Audries and lands in Exeter. Elizabeth, Baldwin's first wife, was the daughter of Sir Thos. Trivet; by her he had issue:
1. John Malet.
2. Eleanor = Sir William Hody, Chief Baron. of the Exchequer.
Baldwin married for the second wife Amicia, daughter of Richard Lyffe of Corypole, by whom he had issue:
1. Hugh Malet.
2. Phillipa = Thomas Martin of Athelhampton, Dorset.
There is an extract from a deed of Baldwin's, date 1375,+++ purporting to have made over to John Trivet for his life the manor of Oake, and providing that after his death it should go to William Coker and his heirs.
It appears that by this time the overlordship of Enmore had passed from the Beauchamps to the ancient family of Gournay, for in 1399# we find that Baldwin does homage to Matthew Gurney for Enemore, Sutton, and Oke. And in 1401## he does homage to "my very noble dame Alice Stury for Hethcombe in Blacksoll."
Baldwin Malet, as appears from the Council Book in Bib. Cotton, Cleopatra, F III, was one of the knights summoned to the Great Council, the next day after the assumption of our Lady, at Westminster, 2 Henry IV, A.D. 1401.
The earliest mention of Amicia Lyffe as his wife is in 1402,### and in 1426 she as his widow,@ makes over to trustees the manor of Corypole.
3 CONT Amicia Malet and Johanna Tilly,@@ were the coheiresses of Richard Lyffe, from whom the Malets obtained the estate of Corypole, and quartered the arms of Lyffe and Valetort.
* From this period I have the benefit of the Rev. Frederic Brown's M.S. notes, chiefly extracts from papers in the Prerogative Court.

- Excerpt from "Notices of an English Branch of the Malet Family", by Arthur Malet, published 1885, p 36-38, appendices M1 - M3, N1:
JOHN MALET.
John Malet, the son of Baldwin Malet and his wife Elizabeth, married in 1380* Joan, daughter of Sir John Hulle of Kyton in Holcombe Rogus, Devon, Knight, one of the Judges of the King's Bench, by his first wife, Dyonisia Durburgh. He was heir to a very considerable estate comprising Deandon, Durburgh, Enmore, E. Quantockshead (St. Audries), and their dependencies. But he never succeeded to the property, having predeceased his father.**
He left a daughter, Eleanor, the heiress of these large possessions; she married a person of the same name as her mother's father, John Hull, and was the mother of Edward Hull, concerning whom I find a notice in J. Anstis's introduction to the Register of the Knights of the Garter, p. 48, and vol. ii, p. 151, relating that "this noble and valiant knight commonly stiles himself the son of Alianor Hull, a great heiress, the daughter and heir of Malet of Enemer, whose arms he bore in his seals."
His election is recorded in the second volume thus: "On the seventh day of May, after keeping of this feast of St. George, an election was made at Westminster in the King's bedchamber within the palace, where with the King's majesty" --[here follow the names of the six nominators, each of whom presented nine names; Edward Hull was named by each]. " The nomination being ended and delivered to the King, Sir Edward Hull was admitted in the stead of Lord Willoughby deceased." To this is appended a note stating that he "was doubtless elected in his absence while he accompanied the Earl of Shrewsbury in the expedition to Gascoigne, for this register informed us this Earl was at Burdeaux on 22nd April in the 31st year, and a record assures us that in the 30th year he was sent to sea with this most valiant Earl, Tran. 30, H 6, M 6, 27 Junii. This worthy knight was slain in battle very soon after his election, and the day is specified in priv. Sigill 12 Juyll 34, H 6 which orders an account to be made, as the words are, with our right well beloved Dame Alionore Hull modre and executrice of Edward Hull knight, late Constable of our castel of Bourdeaux &c., and to make paiement of all maner of wages of werre of men of armes and archers with the said Edward for the keeping and defense of our cite' of Burdeaux and other towns and places in our dutchie of Guienne at his proper expenses and wages in the company of th'erle of Shrewsbury, Lord Talbot which late was Lieutenant of our dutchie of Guienne aforesaid, beying from the xxii Octr. in the yeare of our Lord 1452 unto the xviii day of Juyl than next following which day the said Edward deceased."
Sir Edward Hull dying without issue, his mother Eleanor's possessions reverted eventually to her grandfather Baldwin's next heir, Hugh Malet;*** there are two entries in Sir William Pole's MSS.+ asserting her relationship to Baldwin Malet.
John Malet's widow, Joan, was married to William Corna, and retained as her dower the manor of Deandon during her life, under the trusteeship of William Hastings.++
* MS. by the Rev. Frederic Brown.
** Sir A.M.'s MSS., Vol. II, Sup., p. 18.
Sir John Malet died in the lifetime of his father, but left issue by Jane, daughter of John Hill [this must be a mistake for Hull. I have followed the Rev. T. Brown] of Exeter, a daughter Eleanor, wife of John Hull, who had issue Sir Edward Hull, who died without issue.
*** Sir A.M.'s MSS., Vol. II, p. 6.
Sir Edward Hull died without issue, and his estate (Deandon) reverted to Hugh Malet.
