Staff. Theobald de Neville, Gilbert le Hunte, and Elyas Pye, were
summoned by Robert de Gresebrok in a plea that they had taken and unjustly detained his cattle; and he stated that on Monday, the Feast of the
Assumption of the Blessed Mary, 23 E. I., they had taken in the vill of
Shenestone in a certain place called Robertscroft six oxen and two cows of the
said Robert, and had driven them to the manor of the said Theobald in
Shenestone and had there impounded them, and for which he claimed 40s. as
damages.
Theobald and the other defendants appeared, and Theobald answered for
all, and admitted the taking of the cattle, and stated that one Ralph de
Grendon died seised of the manor of Shenestone, and after his death a third
of the manor was assigned as dower to one Isabella who had been his wife,
and Isabella had demised the said third part to him to hold for her life, and
that one Adam the father of the said Robert, whose heir he is, held of the said
Ralph in the said manor a messuage and a carucate of land by homage and
fealty, and by the service of 5s. annually and a heriot when it should fall due,
and that after the death of the said Ralph the service of the said Adam was
assigned to Isabella as part of her dower, and after the assignment of Isabella's
dower to the said Theobald, Adam had attorned his service to him and had
died in his service (in servitio ipsius Theobaldi), and because the said Robert
after the death of Adam had detained the heriot due according to the custom
of the manor, viz., a horse with saddle and bridle, aketon and lorica, and
other arms appurtenant to it, he had distrained the said Robert by the said
cattle, as was lawful.
And Robert stated that Adam his father had never attorned his service to
the said Theobald, and had died six years and more before Theobald held
anything by the assignment of the dower to him, and he appealed to a jury,
which is to be summoned for the Octaves of the Holy Trinity. m. 25.

formerly wife of Henry de St. Maur for a third of the manor of Herdewyk

Stafford, as her dower. Roes pleaded Ermegarda was not entitled to claim
dower against her because it had been agreed between her and Henry
formerly husband of Roes that she should receive 7 marks annually from the
manor of Felde for her life in lieu of dower from the said manors. Ermegarda
acknowledged that the said Henry had assigned her the said 7 marks as her
dower; but she stated that Roes after the death of the said Henry had
detained the rent and had distrained the tenants from whom she formerly
received the rent to pay the said rent to her, and they had attorned themselves to the said Roes and the rent had been withheld now for three years.

annually from Field for her life, and that she owed her 8 marks of arrears of
it. m. 88.

they held no part of the messuage, and held none at the date of the writ; and
Roger and Edelina stated they held the whole of it, and that one Robert, lord
of Coton, had given it to them with a clause of warranty, and they produced
the deed and called to warranty Elyas the son and heir of Robert, who was
under age and in ward to Alice formerly wife of Robert, because the lands
of Robert were held in soccage. Alice is therefore to be summoned for the

unjustly made of Agnes formerly wife of Robert de la Lee, the mother of the
said John, whose heir he is. The Prior stated that as regards six acres and a
half of land and the meadow, John could make no claim by descent from the
said Agnes, because Agnes had enfeoffed Nicholas his predecessor, and he produced four deeds of the said Agnes; and as regards the residue of the land, he
denied that Richard de la Lee had disseised Agnes of it.

Philip had enfeoffed him (Philip de Draycote, who now sues) of his purparty
of the manor, to be held by him and the heirs of his wife lawfully begotten,
and of which purparty the said Philip is seised by the said feoffment; and for
the reason that he is enfeoffed of the purparty of Alina the eldest sister, it
pertained to him to present to the Church, and in which he had been impeded
by the said Richard and the other defendants, and for which he claimed £40
as damages. (fn. 1)
