cause wherefore he took the premises into the king's hand, and the value
thereof, and he certified that Nicholas Seymor the late king's escheator
so took the same for that he found by inquisition, taken of his office on
Sunday the eve of St. James 47 Edward III, that the said Anketin, a
felon and fugitive for the death of John Hancokes of Staffordshire, on the
day of that felony held the premises, extended at 2s. a year; and
for that the date was not mentioned in that certificate, nor that the
said Anketin was attainted or outlawed, nor what estate he had in
the premises, the king ordered the now escheator to certify the same,
who by inquisition taken has certified that the said Anketin withdrew
himself for a felony which he committed on 23 December
46 Edward III by slaying the said John Hankokes, that he was never
attainted or outlawed for the same, that on that day he had no estate
in the premises nor afterwards, for that on the eve of the Epiphany 40
Edward III by charter he enfeoffed Geoffrey Clerk of Leycestre and
his heirs thereof and of all other his lands in Norhamptonshire, who
granted the same for life to Adam Widevile of Preston, and after
granted the reversion to Thomas de Evesham citizen of London and
to his heirs in fee, and that the said Adam attorned tenant to the said
Thomas, and after made a surrender to him, who held the premises
peaceably until put out by the late escheator; and the king reckons
the cause of taking the same insufficient. |
