de Tendale livery of the moiety of a messuage, three bovates and

the barons of the exchequer to certify in chancery the cause wherefore
the premises were taken into the late king's hand by William de
Nessefelde his escheator, and after search made of the rolls and
memoranda of the exchequer they certified that it is found in a
roll of particulars of the account of the said William, being escheator
in Yorkshire, Cumberland, Northumberland and Westmorland,
from 22 May 31 Edward III to Michaelmas 32 Edward III, that
he took the premises into the late king's hand which were of John
Cudberd, sometimes erroneously called Cudberd of Brouham, for that he
found by inquisition, before him taken of his office, that John Cudberd
held the same of the heir of Robert de Clifford, then a minor in that
king's wardship, by homage and the service of 2s. a year to cornage
and 6d. a year for puture of that king's bailiffs in Westmorland, the

grandfather, seisin of the purparty of that knight's lands kept in
the king's hand, the king having taken the said William's fealty;

of John the grandson, being the said knight's cousin and his other
heir, to make a partition of the said lands into two equal parts, and
to give the said William and Margaret seisin of her purparty, so that

William by grant of Brian de Stapelton, who by the late king's commission held the premises until the lawful age of the heirs; and it is after
found by another inquisition, taken by the late escheator, that the said
Joan has of her own will taken the habit of religion of the order of St.
Gilbert of Sempyngham at Chikesond, the said Margaret being her next
heir, and that she has made her profession therein, as appears by
certificate of the master of that order sent into chancery at the king's
command; and the king has taken the said William's homage for
both purparties by reason of issue between him and the said Margaret
begotten. By p.s. [3820.] |

To John de Mitford escheator in Northumberland. Order to remove
the king's hand and meddle no further with a messuage, land and
meadow in Northgosford, delivering up any issues thereof taken;
as lately the king commanded the treasurer and the barons of the
exchequer to certify in chancery the cause wherefore two messuages,
two bovates of land and meadow there were taken into the king's hand
by William de Erghom the late king's escheator in 47 Edward III,
and they certified that the said escheator took the premises for that
he found by inquisition, before him taken, that the ancestors of the
lord of Northgosford gave the same towards the maintenance of a
chantry, wherein the vicar of Newcastle upon Tyne for the time
being was bound to find a chaplain there residing and celebrating,
and that the chantry was withdrawn by the vicar, no chaplain being
found; and the king reckons that cause insufficient. |
