[Warranty.] And, moreover, John has given Robert 40s. sterling.

No. 79. At Lincoln; from Easter in five weeks, 34 Henry III, [1 May, 1250].

Between Oliver de Albiniaco, querent, and Richard de Bowlton and Eva his wife, deforciants, of customs and services which Oliver demanded of them in respect of their free tenement, which they hold of him in Brendebrocton and Stapilford, to wit, 3 bovates of land; and whereupon Oliver demanded of them that they should render to him yearly 3s.; and should do suit at his court in Brendebrocton from three weeks to three weeks; and should do for him foreign service as much as belongs to 3 bovates of land of the same fee in the same vill, for the tenement; which customs and which services Richard and Eva have not acknowledged to him.

Plea. Oliver has remised and quitclaimed from himself and his heirs to Richard and Eva and the heirs of Eva all the right and claim which he had in the customs and services which he demanded against them, for ever. And for this Richard and Eva have granted and rendered the tenement to Oliver in the same court, and have remised and quitclaimed it from themselves and the heirs of Eva to Oliver and his heirs for ever. And Richard and Eva have also remised and quitclaimed from themselves and the heirs of Eva to Oliver and his heirs all the right and claim which they had in another tenement which they held in the same vills on the day on which this concord was made as in demesnes, homages, rents, services of free men, wards, reliefs, escheats and all other things, without any retainment, for ever: to hold to Oliver and his heirs of the chief lords of that fee for ever, [doing therefor (fn. 3) ] all the services which to the tenement belong. And, moreover, Oliver has given Richard and Eva 70 marks [of silver (fn. 3) ].

No. 80. At Lincoln; from Easter in five weeks, 34 Henry III, [1 May, 1250].

Between Oliver de Albiniaco, querent, and Hawis de Pereres, deforciant, of customs and services which Oliver demanded of Hawis in respect of her free tenement, which she holds of him in Brendebrocton and Stapelford; and whereupon Oliver demanded of her that she should render to him yearly half a mark of silver; and should do for him foreign service as much as belongs to such a tenement of the same fee in the same vill; and should do suit at his court of Brendebrocton twice in the year, to wit, at the next court after the feast of St. Michael and at the next court after Easter; and should do homage to him for the tenement; which customs and which services Hawis has not heretofore acknowledged to him.

Plea. Hawis has acknowledged and granted for herself and her heirs that they shall henceforth render every year to Oliver and his heirs half a mark of silver; and shall do foreign service as in scutage, when it shall fall, as much as belongs to such a tenement of the same fee in the same vill; and shall do suit by themselves or their attorney at the said court twice in the year, to wit, once at the next court after the feast of St. Michael, and secondly at the next court after Easter, without any hindrance (occasione); and shall do homage to them, and give them relief for the tenement, when it shall fall, for all service and demand. And for this Oliver has remised and quitclaimed from himself to Hawis all the arrears of the service and all the damages which he said that he had sustained by reason of the withholding of the service until the day on which this concord was made. [Warranty.]
