Petition to the king and council by Roger de Englefeld, complaining that whereas William, son of Sir Laurence Bassett, held of him the manor of Tyhidi, co.

III, between William de Englefeld his ancestor, whose heir he is, and Alan Basset grandfather of William Basset, whose heir he is, the king’s escheator has seized the manor into the king’s hand by reason of wardship by the nonage of William Basset, whereas the wardship of that manor pertains to the said Roger; and praying that the fine may be viewed and right done. (French, undated.)
Endorsed: Let the escheator be commanded to enquire if the earl of Cornwall had the wardship of William Basset &c.; and let the treasurer &c. of the exchequer be commanded to search the earl’s muniments whether anything was done after the said fine whereby the wardship ought to belong to the king &c. and let justice be done.
