Memorandum that 19 February, 2 Edward IV, at Winchester,
John Canon, Robert Wodeman, Robert Julian, John Smyth,
William Bocher and Robert Marshall, tenants to William bishop
of Winchester of his manor of Alwarstoke, in the name of all the
tenants made a supplication to him, there being present Nicholas
Aysshton and Water Moyle justice of assise in the county of
Southampton, John Lysle knight, John Paulet, Thomas Yonge,
Michell Skillyng, Thomas Uvedale, Thomas Welles, William
Uvedale, Reginald Uvedale and Richard Wallopp with other
gentlemen of the county, praying that forasmuch as they had
matters in writing of discharge of certain rents, services and duties
asked by him of the tenants, the same by advice of their council
might be opened and shewed before the said justices, desiring
furthermore that if it might be understood to the justices that the
matters were sufficient for their discharge, he would discharge
them, and if insufficient they offered to pay and do to him and
his successors the said rents, services and duties, which declaration
of the justices upon their troth they swore to obey; wherupon
the bishop agreed that the justices should hear, see and declare
as their wisdoms would lead them; and the tenth of May next at
the Black Friars in London before the said justices, John Canon,
Robert Wodeman, Robert Julian and John Smyth, and also
Nicholas Julian and John Storke, in the name of all the tenants,
opened and showed by their council, first by mouth and afterwards by writing in form of a bill, wherof the tenor followeth, that
whereas Andrew sometime prior of Saint Swithyn of Winchester
was seised of the said manor and lordship in right of his church
and house and before the coronation of King Richard I he and
his convent granted unto all their tenants of Alwarstoke at that
time being, by the name contained in the deed, amongst other
things that they shall be free of all tallages and rent of salt,
chisets of hens and eggs, pannage of their hogs, testaments, the
redemption of their children and beasts, wards and suit of
hundred without the manor, and granted all their landes, which
they there at that tyme held, to them and their heirs etc., yielding yearly iiijd. for every acre of land of the said manor after the
measure of a perch containing 16½ foot, except that for every acre
the which is within two fluettes they shall pay vjd. yearly except
two farthings of land and a half which they shall pay for every
acre therof but iiijd., the rent to be paid at iiij termes of the yere,
by force of the which each one at that time severally were seised
of those lands as of fee, and so they, their heirs etc. at all times
since have be seased of the same, and yet been, except that of
late, to wit in the beginning of the reign of King Richard II, the
tenants by coercion of distress paid to the predecessors of the
bishop, having the estate of the said prior and convent, for every
acre iijd. over the rent specified in the deed, and so yearly since.
The tenants shewed also a copy of the deed specified in the bill,
wherof the tenure also followeth, whereby the said prior and
convent granted to all their men of Awarstoke (sic), their heirs
or assigns, that they and their issue should be free, and quit of
tallage, salt rent, chiset of hens and eggs, pannage of their hogs,
their testaments, ransom of their children and beasts, wards, and
suits of the hundred without the manor of Alwarstoke, granting
the lands they now hold to them, their heirs and assigns, men of
religion excepted, to hold freely by right of inheritance, so that
the grantors or their church lose no right by reason of any gift,
sale or assignment; and for this grant and charter the said
men granted to render to the grantors and their successors and
to the church of Winchester 4d. a year for every acre of land of
the whole manor, by the perch of 16½ feet at four terms in the
year 1d., namely Allhallows, the Purification, Holy Cross in May
and Michaelmas, adding that all they of Stokes, Forton, Brockhurst and Bury shall give 6d. an acre for all the land between
two fluettes, namely from that where the almoner's mill of their
church stands to that which is under the parson of Alwarstoke's
garden, two roods of land and a half within the said bound
excepted for which they shall give 4d.; and after the death of
ancestors every man in the manor shall give one year's rent as
his relief for his land; at the first coming of the grantors or their
steward after Michaelmas the said men shall choose and present
three men of the manor, one of whom shall be appointed bailiff
for the year, and when the year is ended they shall choose and
present others, and he shall swear to attach all pleas great and
small, and present them at the next coming of the grantors or
steward without concealment, and they shall then be determined
according to the custom of the realm, so that all profits thereof
arising remain to the grantors and their church; all pleas except
pleas of the crown must be pleaded and determined in the court of
Alwarstoke in presence of the grantors or their steward without
writ of the king according to law and the custom of the realm, and
everyman shall recover his right as freehold, neither shall recourse
be had elsewhere unless the court fail to shew justice, and they
must come before the king's justices in eyre, as used to be done:
one part of this indenture was sealed by Thomas de Forton,
Richard Bisshop, Henry de Preniet, Robert Bisshopp, Robert
son of Arnold and John de Poure for all the men of the manor.
There was at the same [time] by the tenants showed an exemplification out of Domesday under the great seal, pretending that
the maner contained but xvj hides, wherof the tenour followith:
inspeximus, tested at Westminster, 26 June, 1 Edward [IV],
of a certificate by the treasurer and the chamberlains sent into
chancery by command of the king and remaining upon the
chancery file, that in Domesday book in Hantescire under lands
(erroneously certis) of the monks of Winchester it is contained,
among other things; the bishop holds Alwarstock; it was ever in
the monastery; in time of King G. (sic) it defended itself for
sixteen hides; King E. granted that it should be for ten hides,
and so it is now; villeins held and do hold it; there are 48
villeins with fifteen ploughs; the wood is for two hogs, the land
for fifteen ploughs, now and ever worth vjl.; of the land of the
manor one knight holds half a hide, which paid geld with other
hides; Sauuinus held it, but might not go any whither; there is
one plough with two bordars, value xxvs. To which matters so
opened and shown the bishop, 12 May, answered that where it is
submitted that Andrew sometime prior before the coronation of
Richard I granted liberties etc. to the tenants of the manor, the
deed was made in time of King Henry III and not before that
coronation, for the proof of whiche were shewed old muniments
of the bishopric in which was the succession of all the bisshops
from the conquest, how many years each one indured, wherein
it was found that Andrew was made prior by Adomare sometime
bishop, 48 Henry III; where it was submitted that he made the
grants specified omnibus hominibus nostris de Alwarstoke, the
tenants have not had at any time any corporation, capacity or
ability to receive and enjoy such grants, wherefore the deed is
voyde; and where it is submitted that he was seised of the
manor and lordship in right of his house, he and all his predecessors
and successors unto William Basyng were priors datife and
removeable at the will of the bisshop, having the occupation and
profits only at his will, the freehold and fee remaining in the
bishop as Domesday affirmeth, which William Basyng was last
prior datife, and first made elective and perpetual in time of
King Edward I, for proof whereof was showed a composition
made 1284, 12 Edward I, between John de Pontissara bishop of
Winchester and prior William Basyng, in which the bishop
granted to the prior and his successors to be elective and perpetual,
there was also swewed (sic) lettres patents of 12 Edward [I] confirming the said composition, for which causes the bishop conceived that the charter shewed by the tenants, should be void; item
where it is submitted that the tenants shuld pay yearly iiijd. for
every acre of land except withinn two fluettes vjd. except two
farthyngs of land and an half, which they have enjoyed unto the
beginning of the reign of King Richard II, atte which time by |
|
Membrane 26d. |
|
coercion they paid and yet pay for every acre iiijd. over, the rent
of the said manor is, and of time that no mind is hath been
liijl. xjs. ijd. ob., and the bishop and all his predecessors, after
William Basyng was made elective, have yearly been paid
without diminution, increase or abridgement, and he nor any of
his predecessors in time of King Richard II, before or after
courted the tenants, to pay more, for proof of which continual
payment he shewed old books of accounts, expressing that in
time of the said Andrew, before and after unto the time of William
Basyng all priors having the profits of the manor were answered
of liijl. xjs. ijd. ob., and John Pontissara and all his successors
have paid the same, as in old books called pipes of accounts was
showed, and in time of vacation of the bishoprik the kings having
the temporalities have been satisfied of the same, as was showed
by records of the exchequer in time of Kings Henry III, Edward I,
Edward II and Edward III, and for as much as neither prior
Andrew, nor the tenants were able to give, receive or enjoy any
things specified in the deed, and the bishop and his predecessors of
time that no mind is be seised of the said rent, and the kings in
like wise in time of vacations have been answered of the same,
the bishop prayed that his right might be accepted and declared;
which matters etc. shewed, the justices asked of the tenants and
their council if they had any reply, which tenants after communication by themself and their council answered that the
evidences were right fair and the proofs right great, which they
could not avoid nor gainsay, and they had never knowledge nor
information of such evidences, wherupon the justices, understanding the matters shewed for the tenants and the proofs for
the bishop, by which it appeared that possession of the rent of
so long time continued was of great effect in the lawe, and the
said deed or charter was void, and declaring the same void and
that the said rent ought to be paid, willed the tenants to pray
the bishop to be gracious lord unto them. Signed and sealed
by the justices, 16 May 3 [Edward IV]. (English.) |
