In a posting to the GEN-MEDIEVAL newsgroup of RootsWeb in Jun 2002, Douglas Richardson wrote:

There seems to be no question that Ela de Herdeburgh had at least one son by her first marriage, Walter Hopton, Knt., of Hopton, co. Salop, who was born about 1303, and died in 1367. This Sir Walter Hopton eventually obtained the rights to the manor of Prilleston, Norfolk, which property had been held by Ela's parents, Roger and Ida de Herdeburgh. On Sir Walter Hopton's death in 1367, he was succeeded by a young Cherleton grandson [see Cal. IPM 12 (1938): 180-181; 13
(1954): 86] who evidently died rather quickly without issue.

By 1377, the Hopton properties including Prilleston were in the hands of a Sir John Hopton, presumably Walter's nephew, who married Isabel Burley, daughter of Sir John Burley, K.G., of Birley, co. Hereford (see, for example, Desc. Catalogue of Ancient Deeds 3 (1900): 195). This last named couple are known to have been the great-grandparents of Sir Thomas Hopton, living 1445 (see G. Beltz Memorials of the Most Noble Order of the Garter (1861), pp. 257-260).
