Worcester. |
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas by the tenor
of the foot of a fine levied before the justices of the Bench between Henry
de Boclond and Alice his wife, demandants, and Master Simon de Gledeseye,
deforciant, concerning the manor of Boclond, co. Hertford, the tenor
whereof the king lately caused to come before him in chancery, it was
found that Simon granted and rendered the manor to Henry and Alice in
court for their lives, with remainder to Reginald, Henry's son, and the
heirs of his body, with remainder, in default of such heir, to Richard,
brother of Reginald, and to the heirs of his body, with remainder, in
default of such heir, to Eleanor, sister of Richard, and to the heirs of her
body, with remainder over to the right heirs of Henry, and it was found
by an inquisition taken by Walram de Rocheford and Geoffrey de la Lee, at
the suit of the aforesaid Richard, that Henry and Alice were seised of the
said manor jointly for six years and more, and that Reginald died without
an heir of his body during the life of Henry and Alice, and that, after his
death, Alice, who thus held the manor for life, granted the manor to
Bartholomew de Badelesmere for the term of her life, subject to a yearly
rent of 20l., and that the manor was taken into the king's hands during her
life with the other lands of Bartholomew by his forfeiture, and that Alice
has now died, for which reason the manor ought to remain to Richard,
brother of the said Reginald, according to the form of the fine; whereupon
the king ordered William de Poleye, then keeper of the manor and of other
forfeited lands in co. Hertford, to deliver the manor to Richard; and the
king now understands that Richard remitted his right in the manor to
Bartholomew by deed, wherefore the king was deceived in the delivery of
the manor to Richard: the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons to
examine the aforesaid deed, which is in their custody, and to do further in
this matter what they shall see fit to be done on the king's behalf. |

mayor and sheriffs that William and Roesia, at Easter in the 16th year of
the reign, demised the moiety at ferm to Ralph de Bokton and Agnes his
wife for the term of seven years, rendering to them therefor 4 marks yearly,
and that the moiety is held of the king in free burgage and is worth 4 marks
in all issues, and the two moieties render yearly in common to the wardens
of London Bridge 5s., to the prior of Holy Trinity, London, 4s., to the
master of St. Giles's hospital 2s., and that the repairing of the moiety is
worth 15s. yearly, so that the moiety is worth 32s. 4d. clear yearly, and
that William and Roesia made no other estate of the moiety or of the rent,
and that the moiety is in the king's hands by Ralph's forfeiture because he
adhered to Roger de Mortuo Mari of Wyggemor, and it appears to the king
by the demise exhibited in chancery that the moiety was demised to Ralph
and Agnes in form aforesaid. By C. |

that Robert Burguilloun held at his death certain lands in Gedeney, co.
Lincoln, of the king in chief as of the honour of Albemarle by knight
service, and that he held no lands in chief as of the crown by reason
whereof the custody of his lands ought to have pertained to the king, but
that he held a moiety of the manor of Great Narrynges, co. Norfolk, in
socage of Thomas Bardolf by the service of 10s. yearly, and that Hugh his
son is his next heir and is aged twelve years, the king ordered Master
John to restore the aforesaid moiety to Joan, late the wife of the said
Robert, as nearest [friend] of the heir, and the king afterwards granted to
John, bishop of Norwich, the late chancellor, the custody of the said
Robert's lands held in chief as of the honour aforesaid and of the lands
that Joan held in dower of the heir's inheritance, which were in the king's
hands by reason of the heir's minority, to have during the heir's minority,
together with the marriage of the heir, and afterwards the king granted
that the bishop should have the custody of the lands aforesaid with the
advowsons of the churches pertaining thereto during the heir's minority,
and it is found by an inquisition taken by the said Master John, concerning
the lands that Sarah, late the mother of Robert, held in chief at her death
of the heir's inheritance, that Sarah held in dower a moiety of the manor of
Great Narringes, with the advowsons of a moiety of the churches of Great
Narringes and Thirsford, and that the moiety, with the advowsons, is held
in free socage of Thomas Bardolf by the service of 10s. yearly, and that she
held in dower at her death a third of the manor of Kerdeston, which is held
of the heir of Geoffrey de Say, a minor in the king's custody, by the
service of a third of a knight's fee, and that she did not hold any lands in
chief as of the crown by reason whereof the custody of the moieties aforesaid ought to pertain to the king: the king therefore orders the aforesaid John
de Blumvill not to intermeddle further with the moiety of the said manor
or with the advowsons of the moiety of the said churches, and to restore to
the aforesaid Joan, as nearest [friend] of the heir, any issues received
therefrom. |

distrain William for his homage, because it was found by inquisition taken
by the said Thomas that Marmaduke, long before his death, granted to

that, on 10 June, in the 16th year of the king's reign, out (procul) at sea
near a place called 'Alingbank,' between Whithavene and Shymbernesse,
the aforesaid ship was wrecked (dirupta) and wholly sunk by the raging of

To Richard le Wayte, escheator in co. Wilts, Southampton, Oxford,
Berks, Bedford, and Buckingham. Order not to intermeddle further with
the lands of Richard de Peveneseye, and to restore the issues thereof, as the
king learns by inquisition taken by Master John Walewayn, late escheator
this side Trent, that Richard and Ela his wife, who still survives, held
jointly on the day of Richard's death certain lands in Bokhampton,
co. Berks, as of her inheritance, by the services of keeping and housing the
king's harriers (canes hayericeos) and of carrying the king's horn when he
came to those parts to chase, and that Richard did not hold any other lands
of the king in chief at his death by reason whereof the custody of his lands
ought to pertain to the king, and that Richard and Ela held on the said day
certain other lands in Chepynglambourne and Estbury, which are held of
others than the king. |

To William de Weston, escheator in cos. Surrey, Sussex, Kent, London,

To John Everard, escheator in cos. Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, and
Dorset. Order not to intermeddle further with the lands of Roger de Meles,

ought to pertain to the king. |

To Robert de Stok. Order to deliver to the heir of William de Keynes
of Faldho all the said William's lands, together with the issues thereof from
14 May, in the 15th year of the king's reign, upon which day the king, at
the instance of Master Gilbert de Middelton, archdeacon of Northampton,
pardoned the said William the suit of his peace and what pertained to the
king by reason of William's adherence to Thomas and Humphrey, late earls
of Lancaster and Hereford, and to other rebels of their confederacy, and
restored to William his lands, when he ordered Robert to deliver to William
his lands, Robert having returned that he had not done so because William
died before the king's writ came to him. |
