the king's hand and not to intermeddle further with two messuages
and four bovates of land in Cotyngham, by him taken into the king's

held the same in chief as parcel of his manor of Cotyngham, aliened
them without the king's licence to the said Robert and to Alice his
wife; and now Thomas Holland and Joan his wife (cousin and heir

of Nicholas son of Simon de Cotyngham, in right of Joan, of the gift

to discharge as well Parnell who was wife of John as the escheator
of those 20l., provided that answer be made for the remaining 4l.
for which the king has given Parnell a respite until the quinzaine of
Michaelmas next; as at the suit of Parnell, shewing that she had
mainperned towards the escheator to answer for 24l. for the issues of
the lands of her husband which she occupied after his death, and had
sued for about one year before the king in chancery for her dower of
those lands, which were in the king's hand by reason of John's death
and of the nonage of his heir, and had nothing for maintenance of herself
and the said heir or of her other children, and praying for recompense,
the king lately granted her 20l. for maintenance, and ordered the
escheator to stay his demand upon her for the 20l. of the greater
sum to him payable, and if for any cause he could or ought not so to
do, to certify the king thereof in chancery; and the escheator has
certified that he cannot allow Parnell anything beyond 15l. 12s. 0½d.
for that, by virtue of the king's writ dated 30 May last, he has delivered to Richard de Punchardon two thirds of the lands which were
of John at his death, and the issues of the third part do not exceed
the sum named; and all those lands were in the king's hand from 29
June in the 32nd year of the reign (the day of John's death) to
31 May following, on which day dower was assigned to Parnell
amounting to 26l. a year. By the guardian and C. |

that William son and heir of John Disny of Diryngton is an idiot, and
in his idiocy gave to John Juscard a messuage, 12 bovates of land
