Man, here thou mayest entombed see a man of honest fame come home to earth who in life bore the name William Cantrell. A gentleman in birth, in life, in office and degree now wrapped in clay. Then think oh man what shall become of this William Cantrell’s feofee was put in trust with others. Regarded well for a virtuous life, [unknown] and lust, even of the whole revenues of that mighty prince, of the late Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, the height sometimes of high estate.
Best I can do. BTW feofee is an investment made by someone into a fief, as though the fief were a corporation.
I think lust maybe list
Looks like you nailed it. I believe your are correct with the fiefdom part as well, I stumbled on that one wondering if it might have been the same “F” symbol you might see in the word leftentant, or to represent an “s” like you might see in early Congressional documents where they show as “Congreffs”. It looks like these ‘f’s were actually f’s for a change. Your translation for revenues was dead on too, I was able to find it in an old Chaucer book. I am still hunting around trying find ‘sorertreu’.
