To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas at the suit of
John de Lyseus, by his petition shown before the king and his council,
showing that all his lands in Wodecotes, Normanton, Sternthorp, Stokum
and Estdrayton are parcel of his manor of Fledburgh, and that manor is
held of the bishop of Lincoln by the service of three knights' fees only,
and the collectors of co. Nottingham of the aid for making the king's
eldest son a knight have exacted 20s. of him for the tenements in Stokum,
because, in the rolls sent to them by him in evidence of the collecting of
the aid it runs thus: for the 31st year of Edward I, of John de Lysours
for three knights' fees in Normanton, Sternthorp and Wodecotes, 6l. and
for half a fee in Stokum 20s., pretending that the tenements in Stokum
are held by the service of a moiety of a knight's fee by themselves as if
they were not parcel of the said manor, the king ordered the treasurer and
barons to take an inquisition upon the matter, and although it is found by
the inquisition taken before one of the barons of the exchequer that the
hamlet of Stokum has been parcel of the manor of Fledburgh from the
time of the conquest and that the said manor is held of the bishop as of
the barony of Newerk by the service of three knights' fees, and that John,
the present tenant of the manor, has no other newly acquired lands in
that county, yet they have not proceeded to his discharge of the said 20s.,
because it is found in the exchequer rolls that answer was made to Edward I
for a half fee in Stokum beyond the three fees in the last grant of such an
aid: the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons, that if it is found
by inquisition that the hamlet of Stokum is parcel of the said manor and
that the manor with its parcels is held by the service of three knights'
fees, then to receive 6l. from John for the said three fees, for the aid, and
to supersede the demand made upon John for the 20s. for the half fee,
notwithstanding that answer was made to Edward I as aforesaid. By p.s. |
