Articles whereupon William Stile is by his oath before the council
charged to speak the truth without regard to aught save only to God
and his honour. |
|
(1.) The said William acknowledged that he prosecuted two
statutes merchant of 5,000l. alleged to be made by Sir Roger
Bavent to John his son, against which, when in the Common
Bench the original writ was returned upon the certificate, the
said Sir Roger appeared and made oath that the same were
forged, and that he knew not that they were made, whereupon
issued out of chancery a supersedeas rege inconsulto, and the
suit was stayed. |
|
(2.) After the decease of the said Sir Roger the said William by
petition sued for certain lands, to wit the manor of Braundeston
and Combes co. Suffolk, the manor of Hachesham co. Surrey,
the manor of Fifhide and Trowe, the tenements, meadows
and rents of the said Roger in Wilton and Purbik, the manor
of Norton Skidemor co. Wiltesir with the advowson of the
chantry there, one carucate of land and 40s. of rent in Putfold
co. Surrey, and the moiety of one knight's fee in Burton atte
Nasshe co. Dorset sometime of the said Roger, averring in his
petition that the premises were entailed to Hawise late wife of
the said Roger, the answer to which petition averred that the
said Hawise had a forged seal of Sir Roger, and so the entail
was invented and forged, and that Sir Roger in his life time
swore to this; after which answer the said Hawise prayed the
said William to stay his suit, acknowledging that the same was
bad; and so was I advised that the suit was false and untrue,
for she shewed how the deed was forged by virtue whereof
the manor of Norton was claimed (denande), and two seals
which she had forged bearing the arms of Sir Roger Bavent
and given her by one brother William Calne, and thereupon
consented that the said John her son should bind himself to
become a friar minor, and so he was; and after the said John
crossed the sea and came to France, and received the order of
knighthood, and told the said William that he thought not
ever to come to England but to go to Assisi and take orders
as he was bound to do, and willed that the deeds which he had
left in England should be delivered to the king. Sealed by
the said William. French. |
