Oxford. |
To the justices of the Bench. Writ of supersedeas until further order
in respect of the plea hereinafter mentioned; as a fine levied, it is
said, in the late king's court at Westminster one month after Easter
13 Edward III between Ralph Basset of Weldoun knight plaintiff
and Roger Basset parson of Arthyngworth and Henry son of Philip
Trayly deforciants of the manors of Weldoun and Weston by Asshele,
eleven messuages, 6½ virgates of land and 70s. of rent in Weldoun and
76s. of rent in Weston excepted, and of the advowson of the priory of
la Launde, whereby the plaintiff acknowledged the right of the said
Roger, and the deforciants granted the same to the plaintiff for life,
with remainder to Ralph his son and Joan daughter of Richard de la
Pole citizen of London and to the heirs male of their bodies, remainder
to the plaintiff's right heirs; and although by averment of John de
Aylesbury knight and John Knyvet, cousins and heirs of the said
plaintiff as they say, the king has learned that he is now dead, that
Ralph the son and Joan are dead without male issue of her body by
him, and that Richard Basset has entered two thirds of the premises
with the exceptions aforesaid, and John Clisseby and Eleanor his wife
a third part, and are severally holding the same contrary to the form
of the said fine, willing that acts in the late king's court be duly put
in execution, the king ordered the sheriff of Norhampton to give
notice to the said Richard, John and Eleanor to be before the said
justices at Westminster in the octaves of St. Martin in order severally
to shew cause wherefore the several portions of the premises by them
held ought not to remain to the said John de Aylesbury and John
Knyvet; but upon the finding of an inquisition, taken before
John Tyndale late escheator, that Ralph Basset of Weldoun knight,
who was son and heir of the said Ralph and Joan it is said, at his death
held the said manors in chief by name of the manors of Weldoun and
Weston upon Wylonde, and that the said Richard, who is within age
and in ward of the king, is his son and next heir, the same are among
other lands of the deceased taken into the king's hand, so to remain
until the lawful age of the heir, and the king is bound to render their
lands whole to such heirs, when they shall come of age, or at least
as he received the same; and after deliberation in chancery with the
said justices and other justices and them of the council learned in the
law, and hearing of divers arguments and allegations for the king and
the parties, it seemed to them and the other justices that the plea
ought not to proceed during the nonage of the said Richard. |
