inquisition as to who entered the manor of Hampstede Mareschal, co. Berks
which is held in chief, after the death of William de Monte Acuto, who now
hold it and have received the issues thereof, and if they had licence from the

finds that those occupiers entered without licence he shall cause the manor to
be seised into the king's hand and kept safely and answer to be made for the

persons have entered the manor after William's death and occupy it
