Albury - During the 13th century there was further subinfeudation, and one branch of Foliots held of another. The mesne tenants were Henry Foliot, who was dead by 1233, and Samson, his son and heir, a minor in 1235, and Sheriff of Oxfordshire in 1267, who lived until about 1280.

Compton Beauchamp Manor - Gilbert de Columbars was sent to this district to take the oaths before the assizes of 1224/5. He was dead before Easter 1258, when his manor of Hardwell had passed to Samson Foliot. His tenant at that date was Ralph Foliot, to whom Samson in 1268 made a fresh feoffment to him and his issue with contingent reversion to Samson and his heirs. The issue of Ralph must have failed, for in 1284 the fee was in the hands of Henry de Tyeis as grandson and heir of Samson. Henry obtained a grant of free warren here in 1300 and died in or about 1307, when his son Henry succeeded him.

Henry Tyeys married Joan, apparently daughter and (or in her issue) heir of Samson Foliot (living 30 May 1281), of Fritwell, &c., Oxon., Hardwell, Berks, and Chilton Foliat and Draycot Foliat, Wilts. Henry Tyeys died, probably in Wales, shortly before 22 Nov 1282. Joan, who was living in May 1282, presumably died before 1284.
