said John de Harcla, half a year before his death, disseised him thereof, and
that John made a charter to Andrew of the said messuage and land and of

To Simon de Grymesby. Whereas Thomas, late abbot of Thornton-onHumbre, impleaded Gervase Avenel and Joan his wife, in the 9th year of
the late king's reign, by writ of right dated 18 February, in the same year,
before William de Bereford and his fellows, then justices of the Bench,
concerning a messuage, a mill, and three carucates of land, except two
bovates, in Carleton near Basingham, the abbot claiming the tenements as
the right of his church of St. Mary of Thornton, and the abbot recovered
the same against Gervase and Joan by consideration of the court on
the morrow of the Purification, in the 10th year of the late king's reign,
without collusion between the abbot and them, as appears by the record and
process of the suit seen and examined before the king and his council in
parliament, and abbot Thomas was put in seisin of the tenements by virtue
of the above consideration by the late king's writ of judgment, and long
continued his seisin thereof, and Master John Walewayn, the late king's
escheator this side Trent, asserting that Gervase and Joan adhered to the
Scots before the suing out of the said writ, disseised abbot Thomas of the
tenements by order of Hugh le Despenser, who entered them after the
disseisin and occupied them all his life by his power, and they are now in
the king's hands by his forfeiture; wherefore the present abbot has prayed
the king by his petition before the king and his council to provide a
remedy; the king, wishing to be certified concerning the premises,
appointed Henry de Fenton, John Daubeneye, and John de Crosholm, the
younger, to make inquisition by the oath of men of the county of
Lincoln in the presence of William Trussebut, who mainperned before the
council to make suit for the king and his right in this behalf; and it is
found by the inquisition that Gervase and Joan were at the late king's
faith and peace on the days of the suing out of the writ and of the
rendering of judgment aforesaid, and that abbot Thomas was seised of the
tenements by virtue of that judgment for nine weeks and more, and that
Master John Walewayn by his bailiffs disseised the abbot of the tenements
by the order of Hugh, and that neither abbot Thomas whilst he lived nor
the present abbot afterwards changed their estate in the premises in any
way up to this time, and that the tenements are in the king's hands by
Hugh's death and for no other reason: the king therefore orders the aforesaid Simon to deliver the tenements to the abbot without delay, to be held
according to the form of the said recovery. It is not the king's intention
that the lands that belonged to the Templars, if there be any in Simon's
custody, shall be delivered to the abbot by virtue of this order.
By pet. of C. [869.] |
