Norman was involved in litigation with Humphrey Salway, who had Stanford through his mother, half-sister (Isolde) of Norman. Galway claimed Little Washbourne and Norman Washborn claimed Stanford. The controversy was finally referred to George, Duke of Clarence, "the false, fleeting, perjured Clarence" of Shakespeare, and his award assigning Stanford to Salway and Little Washbourne (subject to a payment) to John, son of Norman, was accepted by the parties and ratified by deeds dated October 2, nineteenth year of Edward IV. John Washborn also had the Wichenford property that came to him through his grandmother, heiress of the Pohers, and for ten generations Wichenford was the home of the family. He confirmed his property by deed in the eleventh year of Henry VI; was vice-comes of Worcestershire in the seventeenth year of Henry VI.
