By reason of the minority aforesaid, the said manors are at present in the king’s hand, and are held of the king in chief, by serjeanty of keeping and carrying the king’s falcons.

Lincoln, which are now in the king’s hand by reason of the minority of the said Robert’s heir; and if the said Katherine was seised of the said rent, and any other points comprised in the said letters; so that the said inquisition being taken and returned into chancery, the chancellor might cause it to come quickly before the king, that he might give commandment thereon; he sends the said inquisition, thus taken by writ under the great seal, together with the said writ, to the king under his own seal.
