To William de Nessefeld escheator in Northumberland. Order
not to distrain William son and heir of William de Felton deceased,
tenant in chief, for his homage and fealty, and to deliver to him
according to the king's grant any issues taken of the lands of his
father; as on 22 February in the 33rd year of the reign, for that
William the son was of full age and abiding in the king's service in
the parts of Brittany, the king of his favour respited his homage and
fealty for the lands which his father held in chief at his death, and
ordered the escheator to give him seisin of those which his father
held in his demesne as of fee, and which were by the said father's
death taken into the king's hand, and to deliver to him the said issues
if he should find sufficient security to answer for the same; and now
the king has taken his homage and fealty, and has granted him all
such issues. By p.s.[24863.] |

To the chancellor of Ireland for the time being. Order to take
inquisitions of the lands which John de Veer late earl of Oxford, and
Elizabeth late the wife of Giles de Badlesmere tenant in chief,
at their deaths held in Ireland, and to cause all such lands which
it shall appear that the said earl and Elizabeth held of the heritage
of Maud who was wife of the said earl (one of the sisters and
heirs of the said Giles), if taken into the king's hand by reason
of their deaths, to be delivered to her, together with the issues
thereof from the time of their deaths; as Maud has petitioned
the king that, whereas divers lands sometime of Giles in Ireland
of her heritage are so taken, as well by the death of the said earl
as by that of Elizabeth, who held certain of them in dower, he would
order his hand to be therefrom removed, and the same to be
delivered to her; and because the earl while he lived did his homage
therefor by reason of issue between him and Maud begotten, and
Maud after his death did fealty for her heritage, the king ordered
the same to be to her delivered. |
