Petition by the said Joan to the king’s treasurer; whereas she obtained a writ of dower against William le fiz Aleyn, of a third part of the manor of Wysby Hadyngton, co. Lincoln, and he vouched to warrant Thomas son and heir of John Wake, in the king’s wardship, who warranted by the king’s command; wherefore it was awarded that she should have to the value out of the king’s seisin; and because the king has nothing of the heir’s inheritance except the rent of Skeldynghopp in co. Lincoln, a writ of seisin issued, to which John Bygot who holds the manor answered that the escheator requires a warrant from the exchequer so that he may allow seisin. (French.)

Joan late the wife of John Wake seeks against William son of Alan a third part of the manor of Suthicham, and of a messuage and 6a. land in Est Depyng, and of the manor of Hadyngton and Whisseby, as dower. And the said William calls to warrant Thomas son and heir of John Wake, whose body is in the wardship of the said Joan, and his lands in that of the king in the said county and in co. Cumberland, and he proffers three writings of the said John Wake:—one testifying that he granted to the same William the manor of Hadyngton and all his tenants in Whysceby, to hold to him &c. for ever, rendering a rose yearly, saving the king’s foreign service; another testifying that he quit-claimed to the said William all his right in the manor of Southycham, to hold to him &c. for ever, rendering a red rose yearly; and the third testifying that he granted to the said William a messuage and 6a. land in Est Depyng, which Maud Benet formerly held of Sir Baldwin, father of the same John, to hold to him &c. for ever, rendering a rose yearly; and he bound his heirs to warrant the same.

Writ of plenius certiorari, because the above inquisition makes no mention whether the said John held the manor of Kilwaldmersh of the king as of the crown or of any honour or escheat now in his hand, or whether he ought to find the horse &c. at his own charges or the king’s, or what lands he gave to the said Nicholas and Katherine, or whether by the king’s licence or not, 15 Oct. 32 Edw.

In the summer before he went to the king in Scotland there was an agreement (prelocucio) made between the said John and Sir Henry de Braylesford that their sons and heirs should marry their daughters respectively, so that after the said espousals the said John should give to Nicholas his son and heir with Katherine daughter of the said Henry 20l. of land in the manors of Kenewoldemerche and Barleburgh to hold to them and the heirs of their bodies, and accordingly such a charter was made by the said John, but seisin was never given to the said Nicholas and Katherine in the life of the said John, who died seised thereof, and the charter is therefore void. The jurors of the first inquisition were simple persons not cognizant of English laws and customs, to whom it appeared that the charter was sufficient without seisin delivered, whereas it was of no value.
Writ of certiorari to the escheator to make inquisition whether the said John held anything in his bailiwick of the king in chief as of the crown, or not, and if the honour of Peverel was ever of the ancient demesne of the crown, or not, 28 March, 33 Edw. I.

Writ of scire facias to the escheator, reciting the substance of the inquisition concerning the lands in Luton, and whereas by inspection of the rolls of the chancery it appears that by letters patent the king gave licence to the said Robert to retain to him and his heirs for ever certain lands &c. which he had there of the grant of Cecily de Bello Campo his mother, he is to warn the said Cecily and John de Bello Campo, the heir, to be present before the king and council at York on the quinzaine of Easter next, 30 Jan. 32 Edw. I. Endorsed by the escheator that he had warned the parties accordingly.
BEDFORD. Inq. 20 March, 32 Edw. I.
Luton. Having viewed the writings made between the said Cecily and Robert, and the king’s letters patent, the jurors say that the said Cecily enfeoffed the said Robert to hold to him and the heirs of his body, by service to her of a pair of gilt spurs yearly for her life, and after her death to render 1lb. cummin yearly to her heirs, with reversion to her and her heirs, and he was thus in seisin until the day of his death; but whether by reason of the king’s confirmation he did homage to the king or not is unknown to the jurors, because they have had no previous knowledge of letters patent of this kind.
C. Edw. I. File 111. (17.)
