seamen thereof, to be brought to the port of London and there
unladed, that he there sold the greater part thereof, and the
residue, which without great loss he might not there sell, he laded

the king is the more willing to grant his prayer because he is a
subject of the king of Castille. |

To the justices appointed to hold pleas before the king. Order,
upon petition of William son of Henry son of William son and heir
of Henry de Ferrariis, to proceed in the cause hereinafter
mentioned, the allegation of Henry de Coton and John de Delves
notwithstanding, so that they proceed not to rendering of
judgment without advising the king; as King Edward III with
assent of the prelates, earls, barons and others of his council in
the parliament summoned at Westminster on Monday after St.
Matthias 11 Edward III, by letters patent granted to Henry de
Ferrariis and to the heirs male of his body the reversion of the
manor of Walton, which was held for life by Isabel the queen
mother with reversion to him and his heirs, and the knights'
fees, advowsons etc. thereto belonging; and it was after found
by inquisition, taken 6 September 32 Edward III before Philip
de Lutteley escheator in Derbyshire, that at her death the said
queen held the manor and advowson of Walton upon Trent for
life, and that by grant of the said king the reversion thereof
belonged to William son and heir of the said Henry, and by
another inquisition, taken 25 September following before Roger de
Wolferton escheator in Norffolk, that the said queen held likewise
the manor of Fakenham with reversion to the king, and by virtue
of those inquisitions both manors were seized into the king's
hands; and William son of Henry died before he sued the manor
of Walton out of the king's hand, Henry son and heir of William
being then within age, and the manor came to the late king's
hands, and Henry son of William died before he sued the same out
of the late king's hands, William his son and heir being then
within age and in ward of that king; and while the said William
was yet within age, by letters patent of 17 June 13 Richard II
the late king granted the said manor and advowson to Henry de
Coton late parson of Cubbeley for life with the knights' fees,
wards, marriages, reliefs, escheats, liberties, warrens, park,
mill and fisheries, the rents and services of freeholders and neifs
and all that goes with them, and all appurtenances thereto
belonging as fully as ever it was in his hands or the hands of any
other; and by another inquisition, taken before Robert Twyforde
escheator on Monday in the first week of Lent 3 Henry IV, it
was likewise found that William son of Henry de Ferrariis
died on Wednesday after the Epiphany 44 Edward III, that
William de Ferrariis yet living is his next heir male in regard to
the said manor and advowson, namely son of Henry son of the
said William son of Henry, and of full age, and upon petition of
the said William, being cousin and heir of William son of Henry,
shewing that the above mentioned manors of Walton and Walton
upon Trent are one and the same, as he is ready to prove, and that
after the queen's death the manor and advowson were taken
into the then king's hand, and that livery thereof has not been
given to the said William son of Henry nor to his heir nor to the
petitioner, and praying for revocation of the grant to Henry de
Coton, and for livery thereof to him as cousin and heir of William
son of Henry de Ferrariis, the king ordered the sheriff of Derby to
give Henry de Coton notice to be in chancery in the quinzaine
of Trinity 3 Henry IV in order to shew cause for the king or for
himself wherefore that ought not to be done; and at that day the
cause was sent for debate before the king, and the petitioner
appeared at Westminster by Thomas de Whatton his attorney,
and Henry de Coton by Robert Hore, and alleged the letters patent
aforesaid to him for life, with remainder to Henry de Delves
and to his heirs, saying that so he is tenant for life by grant of the
late king, with reversion to John de Delves cousin and heir of the
said Henry, namely son of John son of the said Henry, craving
aid of John de Delves, and the sheriff was ordered to give notice
to John de Delves son of John son of Henry to be before the king
at a day past in order to be joined in that plea in aid of Henry de
Coton, if he should think fit; and at that day the petitioner
and Henry de Coton appeared as aforesaid, and John de Delves
in person, and he said he was ready so to be joined, craving to be
admitted in aid of Henry de Coton, and the said Henry and John
alleged the letters patent aforesaid, reciting that Henry de Coton
late parson of Sabbeley (sic) long sued with the late king for
restitution of the manor and advowson of Aber in Northwales,
shewing that he and Thomas de Delves late parson of Malpas by
fine acquired the same of Walter Mauny knight to them and the
heirs of the said Thomas, that they continued their estate until
the death of the said Thomas, and so did Henry de Coton after
his death until after the death of John de Delves knight, when by
virtue of an inquisition of his office taken before Hugh Coly then
escheator in Northwales, whereby it was found that John Delves
knight died seised of the manor of Aber held in chief, when he
had nought therein save at the will of the said Thomas and
Henry de Coton, and that from the said Thomas the right
descended to John Delves knight as brother and heir of Thomas,
and from him, for that he died without issue, the reversion
descended to Henry de Delves as brother and heir of John,
which manor of Aber the late king granted to Queen Anne
his consort for her life, and in consideration of the right therein
claimed by Henry de Coton, by advice of the great council that
king in recompense thereof made him a grant with warranty for life
of the manor and advowson of Walton upon Trent with reversion
as aforesaid, and he and Henry de Delves made a quitclaim with
warranty to the king and his heirs of the manor of Aber and the
towns of Penmayn and Lassemayn in Northwales, with the knights'
fees, advowsons, fairs, markets, and warrens, the stewardship
(raglocia) and wodewardship of Arthelewak Ughap, the 'frythes'
of Nantmawan, Nanheskele and Ycras Infiaul, the summer pasture
(havotriis) of Meuryn Nanceracradas and all other appurtenances,
and that because the manor of Walton was charged with 10 marks
a year each payable for life to Thomas Sy and William Golde
his yeomen, with assent of the council the late king covenanted
that while that charge should last recompense should be made
to Henry de Coton and Henry de Delves and to the heirs of Henry
de Delves, saying that so Henry de Coton is tenant for life by
grant of the late king, with reversion to John de Delves, and that
without the king they might not answer, craving aid of the king,
by reason whereof the justices have deferred to proceed. |
