The said Scholastica prosecuted her right and did fealty to the king for her moiety of the lands, &c. of the said Theobald, and the king committed the other moiety to the custody of John Hakelut his yeoman (valetto). But afterwards Margery, late the wife of the said Theobald, recovered a third part of all his lands, &c. as her dower; and thus a third part of the said manor, with a third part of other lands, &c., is still in the king’s hand and in the custody of the said John, and not otherwise.

WARWICK.	Inq. 14 April, 15 Edward II.
	La Grave. The said manor is held of Ida de Clynton by service of 1/2 knight’s fee, and she entered the manor claiming escheat after the feast of the Purification last, by reason of the felony of Juliana late the wife of Thomas Murdak, and was seised thereof for fifteen days, before it was taken into the king’s hand, [on account of the rebellion of Sayer de Rocheford]. The said Juliana never had any seisin there, and the manor was in the hands of the said Sayer through disseisin when the said Ida entered. Theobald de Gayton held the manor in fee tail, as Scholastica late the wife of Godfrey de Melsa and John Murdak say, of the enfeoffment Theobald de Nevill, and they are his next heirs, and were seised of the manor for six days after his death, until disseised by the said Sayer, who never had any other estate there; nor was he seised of the manor at the time when it was taken into the king’s hand, but the said Ida was.
