Dec. 7.
York. |
To John de Louthre, escheator in cos. York, Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmoreland. Order not to intermeddle further with a toft and
16 acres of land in Bramham, which he has taken into the king's hands
from the prior of St. Oswald's, Nostell, and to restore the issues thereof to
the prior, as the escheator returned to the king that he took them into the
king's hands because it was found by an inquisition of office that the prior
and convent of that place acquired them eight years ago, without licence
from the late king, from William Gernoun, who held them in chief by the
service of rendering 2½d. to the king yearly; and afterwards the king—upon
learning from the prior and convent that they acquired the toft and land from
the said William by the king's licence, and that they are held of them and not of
the king—ordered the escheator to make inquisition concerning the premises,
and it is found thereby that the prior and convent acquired the toft and
land by the king's licence from the said William, and that they are held
immediately of the prior and convent by the service of rendering them 10d.
a year, and mediately of the king by rendering to the wapentake of
Barkeston 2d. a year for the fine of that wapentake. |
Dec. 15.
York. |
To the same. Order not to intermeddle further with the manor of
Iselbeck, and to restore the issues thereof, as the escheator returned that he
took the manor into the king's hands because it was found by an inquisition
of office taken by him that John de Iselbek, who died fifteen years ago,
was seised thereof in his demesne as of fee, and that William, his son and
heir, then adhered to the Scots, enemies of the late king, and that John
Moryn now occupies it of the gift of John, younger brother of the said
William, and by the record and process lately had before the treasurer and
barons of the exchequer concerning the record and process of an assize of
novel disseisin touching a tenement in Iselbek between John son of John
de Iselbek and Ingelram de Beuver and John de Redynges, which was
lately summoned and taken before William de Herle and his fellows, the
late king's justices to take assizes in co. York, the record and process whereof
were sent to the treasurer and barons for certain causes sub pede sigilli
regis, and which the king has now caused to come before him in chancery,
it appears that—because it was contained in the record and process of the
assize that Thomas de Burgh and Simon de Grymesby, late escheators in
that county, answered in their accounts for 30s. for the ferm of certain
tenements in Iselbek, which were in the late king's hands by reason of the
adhesion to the Scots that the said William de Iselbek, of whose inheritance
they were, made at the time of the death of John de Iselbek, his father,
and because the said John, son of John, answered to this before the
treasurer and barons that after the death of John de Iselbek, whose heir he
is, he entered the tenements as his right and inheritance, and held them
peaceably until he was disseised thereof by Ingelram, and that the said
William, who is now dead, was a bastard and was not the heir of John de
Iselbek, for which reason the lands ought not to be charged by his forfeiture
—the treasurer and barons ordered an inquisition to be taken concerning
the premises, and—upon its being found thereby that William was not the
heir of the said John de Iselbek, and was never seised of the tenements,
and was a bastard, and that the said John son of John entered the
tenements as his right and inheritance immediately after his father's death,
and that he was seised thereof peacefully for two years and more before
Ingleram, the sub-escheator, laid hands on them in the late king's name—
the treasurer and barons, because the tenements had been wrongfully taken
into the late king's hands, considered that the escheators who had the
custody of the tenements should be discharged of the issues thereof from
Wednesday after the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, in the 20th year of the
late king's reign, on which day the said John son of John recovered the
tenements against Ingleram and John de Redynges, because the said lands
had been wrongfully taken into the late king's hands. |

Beverley. |
To John de Louthre, escheator in cos. York, Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmoreland. Order not to intermeddle further with the priory
of Drax, or with its temporalities, which he has taken into the king's hands by
reason of the death of brother Henry, the late prior, and to restore the issues
thereof to the sub-prior and convent, placing a janitor at the gate in the
king's name, as the king learns by inquisition taken by William Bassett,
Adam de Hoperton, and William de Hathelseye that William Paynel
founded the priory before the time of Richard I. in frankalmoin and quit
of all secular service, and that it is now of the patronage of Elizabeth and
Margaret, daughters and heiresses of John Paynel, minors in the king's wardship, and that their ancestors did not receive any esplees or profits thence
during voidance, and did not intermeddle with the custody thereof except
that at every voidance they placed a janitor there during the voidance, who
received nothing from the priory but his food during that time. |
