king's hand, and not to meddle further with the manor of Dunstall
and 1,000 acres of marsh in Elmele taken into the king's hand by the
death of Walter de Mauny knight, delivering to Robert Knolles knight

of fee nor in service, but held the said manor and marsh for life of
another than the king, with reversion to Gilbert Champeneys and

of the said William, that the said Richard, Henry and William by
fine levied in the king's court afterwards granted the said reversion

of a messuage and 80 acres of land in Babyngle called 'le Botillers'
which are in the king's hand by the death of Joan who was wife of
the said John the father, saving to the king the issues thereof taken;
as the king as learned by inquisition, taken at his command by John
de Rokewode late escheator, that the said Joan at her death held
no lands in that county in chief in her demesne as of fee, but as jointly
enfeoffed with her said husband held the premises for life of the heritage
of the said John their son, with reversion to him, that the same are
held by knight service of the heir of Adam de Clifton tenant in chief,
a minor in the king's wardship, that by reason of the nonage of the
said John the son answer has been made to the king by the escheators
for the time being for the issues of the premises since the death of the
said Joan, who died on Thursday before St. Margaret in the 43rd
year of the reign, and that he is now of full age. |

To Roger de Meres and John de Fencotes justices of assize in Norffolk.
Order, if in an assize of novel disseisin by Roger de Gyneye knight
arraigned against William de Kerdeston knight and others concerning
tenements in Dilham allegation was made and command given as
hereinafter rehearsed, to proceed to take the said assize, doing full
and speedy justice to the parties that allegation and command notwithstanding, so that they proceed not to rendering of judgment
without advising the king; as on behalf of the said plaintiff it is shewn
the king that whereas he arraigned the assize aforesaid, and the said
defendant and others in their pleading alleged that the tenements
put in view were for particular causes taken into the king's hand
and are yet in his hand, and that so they ought not to make answer
without the king, averring after to the king that certain of the premises
were in his hand, the king by writ under his privy seal commanded
the said justices so to bear themselves therein that no hurt or prejudice
should arise to the king or the tenants of the premises in view, by
colour of which allegation and command the said justices have deferred
to proceed to take that assize, to the plaintiff's disherison, wherefore
he has prayed for remedy. By C. |

to cause John de Pembrugge, son and heir of Henry de Pembrugge

To Edmund Cheyne escheator in Somerset. Order to remove the
king's hand, and not to meddle further with a third part of the manor
of Orchardlegh taken into the king's hand by the death of Henry
son of Henry de Merland, delivering up any issues thereof taken since
the death of Joan who was wife of Henry de Merland; as it is found
by inquisition, taken at the king's command by William Cheyne
late escheator, that Henry de Merland at his death held no lands
in that county in chief in his demesne as of fee, but held the said
manor for life jointly with Margaret his wife (yet living) in chief by
the service of the moiety of one knight's fee of the gift of William
Flemyng parson of St. Tathans and Robert Cayner parson of
Orchardlegh made with the king's licence to them and the heirs of
the said Henry, and divers other lands as well in his demesne
as of fee as for his life of others than the king; and because in the
king's said letters patent licence is given to Henry son of Henry de
Merlaund to enfeoff the said William and Robert and their heirs
of two thirds of the said manor, and to grant them and their heirs
the remainder of one third thereof held in dower of his heritage by the
said Joan with reversion to him, and licence to the said William
and Robert to take seisin of the said two thirds and give the same to
the said Henry the son and Margaret and to the heirs of the said
Henry the son, to receive the attornment of the said Joan concerning the said third part and to grant the remainder thereof with
the said two thirds to the said Henry the son and Margaret and to the
heirs of Henry the son, and for that the king was not assured whether
the said Joan was yet living or no, he ordered the escheator to keep in
his hand that third part until further order, and to take the fealty of
the said Margaret, removing the king's hand and not meddling further
with the said two thirds and with other the lands aforesaid taken
into the king's hand by the death of the said Henry the son; and it is
found by inquisition, by the now escheator taken at the king's
command, that the said Joan is dead. |
