Henry de Bray, then escheator this side Trent, to assign to Lucy, late the
wife of Guy, 100l. yearly of land, to hold in tenancia until the king should
cause dower to be assigned to her, and Henry delivered the said manor to

yearly of land, which manor from the aforesaid 8 November until the
first Sunday in Lent, in the eighteenth year of the reign, when Almaric,
brother and heir of Guy, came of age, amounts by the extent aforesaid to
86l. 14s. 6½d., which the executors of Robert's will ought to have received
by reason of the king's grant aforesaid, as appears to the king by a
calculation made before Henry; whereupon the king ordered Henry to
cause recompence to be made to the executors for this sum from the first
of the king's wardships coming to his hands, and Henry did not do so, as
the king understands. |

if they ought to pertain to the king, as Geoffrey Arsik granted the manor,
which he held of Robert de Veer, earl of Oxford, who held it in chief of

reason whereof Geoffrey as mesne between the king and the prior is bound

that Robert de Greneheved, wishing to hinder a quarrel that had arisen
between John and Robert de Cherden, hurt (hurtavit) himself upon
an arrow in John's hands, so that he died by mischance of the
wound thus received in his thigh, and John aftewards found twelve men
of the land of Tyndale, who mainperned to have him before the justices
at the first assize in those parts if anyone wished to speak against him,
for which reason the king caused him to be delivered from prison, and he
has not yet been convicted of the death, so that his goods and chattels,
which Thomas, when he was bailiff of Tyndal, took into the king's hands
for this reason, ought not to be forfeited according to the law and custom
of the realm. |
