de Bohun held those services in chief by knight service, that neither
the said William nor the said Robert attorned tenant to John Gogh
and John Seys nor did fealty [to them] nor suit of court for the
tenements so held, that the said Robert at his death had a daughter
named Alice then within age, who was in the nourishment and wardship of the said William de Belesby as her next friend on the mother's

Grymesby clerk and to his heirs, by virtue whereof the said Edmund
was seised of the rent of 31l. 13s. 4d., that all the tenants thereof
attorned tenants to the said Edmund, that the said Edmund after
gave the said [tenements] and services to Guy de Bryene, the said
John de Bohun, John Gogh and John Seys and to their heirs, by
reason whereof all the tenants attorned tenants to them, that they
after by fine levied in the king's court in the 31st year of his reign
granted to the said Edward and Philippa and to the heirs of their
bodies three bovates of land and 31l. 13s. 4d. of rent in Belesby,

and Philippa were thereof seised and all the tenants aforesaid attorned
tenants to them, and that after the king by letters patent, reciting
the said gifts made without his licence, pardoned the said Edmund
and the other feoffees their trespasses in the matter, wherefore the
said Philippa has prayed the king for livery of the lands and rents
whereof she was jointly enfeoffed with her said husband, as those
specified in the said fine are the same contained in the said inquisition;
and the king has committed to the said Guy the keeping of the 40s.
of rent in the inquisition contained until debate be had whether they
be parcel of the rent of 31l. 13s. 4d. specified in the said fine or no,
so that he shall yearly make answer for the same during the nonage
of the heir of John de Bohun in case it shall be adjudged that the
wardship thereof ought to pertain to the king by reason of his
nonage. |
