With this inquisition are filed the writ and inquisition following:
Writ of plenius certiorari to the escheator in Westmoreland. The escheator having answered to a writ of certiorari super causa capcionis, concerning the manor of Stirkeland of Thomas de Berewys and Joan his wife, that he had found by inquisition taken ex officio that Margaret de Roos, tenant in chief, alienated a yearly rent of 50s. from divers tenements in Stirkeland and 2qrs. 2bus. of oatmeal from the mill there to Richard de Preston and Annabel his wife, who gave the same to John de Stirkeland, who gave it to Edmund de Nevill and John de Louthre, who gave it to the same John de Stirkeland and Alice his wife, now deceased, and that he, the escheator, had therefore taken into the king’s hand the same rent and also the manor of Stirkeland, which John de Stirkeland held of Thomas de Tweng by knight’s service, on the death of the said John, by the king’s prerogative; the aforesaid Thomas de Berewys and Joan now assert that they hold a messuage, 60a. land and 6a. meadow in Great Stirkeland, from which the aforesaid rent came, so that the rent is extinguished, and have informed the king that the premises are held of the manor of Stirkeland, which is held of Thomas de Tweng and not of the king, so that the rent therefrom ought not to be said to be held of the king, and pray that the king’s hand be removed from the manor and rent. The escheator is to enquire. 3 December, 33 Edward III.
WESTMORELAND. Inq. taken at Appilby, Monday after Palm Sunday, 33 Edward III.
One Richard de Laton was seised in demesne as of fee of a messuage, 60a. land and 6a. meadow in Stirkland, from which the rent of 50s. and 2qr. 2bus. of oatmeal mentioned in the writ used to come, and held them of Thomas Lang of Stirkland, as of a third part of the manor of Stirkland, by service of 2s. yearly for cornage; he alienated the said tenements to one Robert de Stirkland to hold of the chief lords by the rent aforesaid. Robert died seised of the said tenements in demesne as of fee and after his death William de Stirkland, his son and heir, entered. He gave the premises to John de Stirkland and the heirs of his body. Richard de Laton, being seised of the rent by reason of the reservation aforesaid, granted it to Margaret de Ros, who granted it to Richard de Preston and Annabel his wife, and this Richard quitclaimed it to the aforesaid John de Stirkland, who was seised of the tenements from which the rent came. Annabel after her husband’s death released to the same John all her right in the tenements and rent; by virtue of which deeds the rent became totally extinguished.
Therefore neither Margaret de Ros nor John de Stirkland, nor any other, ever held the rent of the king in chief; nor are the tenements from which the rent came, nor were they ever, held of the king in chief, but of Thomas de Tweng by service of 2s. yearly for cornage and by homage.
