Memorandum that, upon the finding of divers inquisitions that
manors and lands in divers counties came to the late king's hands
by death of William de Say knight and by reason of the nonage of
John his son and heir, and are now in the king's hand, that the said
John died within age in the king's wardship, and that Elizabeth
his sister is his next heir and of full age, namely sixteen years, John
de Faluesle knight, who has taken her to wife since her brother's
death, appearing in person in chancery, craved livery of the premises,
but answer was by the court made that, among other articles in the
king's prerogative, it is contained that women tenants in chief of
whatsoever age shall be sworn not to marry without the king's licence,
and if they shall so do their lands shall be taken into the king's hand
until they shall content the king at his will, wherefore the said John
and Elizabeth ought to content the king for their trespass in marrying
without his licence before they should obtain livery; but John Faluesle,
perpending that livery was denied him, and that he might not obtain
it until the matter should be debated by the great council, sued for
livery in the parliament holden at Westminster in the octaves of
Michaelmas 6 Richard II, and his petition and the said Elizabeth's
was therein heard; and after the end of the parliament, John king of

Hereford, Ralph bishop of Salisbury, the abbot of Waltham Holy
Cross and other prelates, earls, lords and princes being present in
the great council with all the justices, the serjeants at law and many
others learned in the law, the justices, serjeants and those learned
in the law were by the said lords, prelates etc. asked whether that
article ought to be or used to be held for law, and they affirmed that
the said prerogative is not held for a statute, that the said article was
not heretofore observed, and that by marrying without the king's
licence after the death of her brother whose heir she is the said
Elizabeth committed no fault for which she ought to content the
king, or her heritage ought to remain in his hand; wherefore by advice
and assent of the said duke, prelates etc. it is determined that livery
shall be given to the petitioners under a date preceding the feast of
Michaelmas last when John Faluesle craved livery. |
