| OXFORD. | Inq. taken at Wytteneye, 1 May, 42 Edward III. |
|
He held no lands &c. in the county.
He died out of the county in 20 Edward III, but where or on what day the jurors know not. Maud his sister, aged 40 years and more, late the wife of John Herte of Grafton in the same county, is his heir. |
|
| LONDON. | Inq. (indented) taken ex officio before the mayor, 24 July, 42 Edward III, as to the lands and heir of the said William, who has been in possession of the said lands since his death, and what lands he gave or bequeathed for chantries or alms &c. |
|
He died in 20 Edward III, day not known, seised of:—
Parish of St. Sepulchre without Neugate. 7 shops with solars built thereon by Cokkeslane. By his testament (extract given) proved, proclaimed and enrolled in the husting of London held on Monday after St. Martin, 20 Edward III, he bequeathed the premises, by the name of all the houses by Cokkeslane which he had by feoffment of John Doxenford, to William son of Beatrice Basset, who was in possession until Saturday after the Invention of the Holy Cross, 39 Edward III, when he gave them to William Rook, chaplain, to re-enfeoff him and his wife thereof in fee simple. On 25 May, 42 Edward III, William son of Beatrice gave all his estate in the premises to John Gateneys and Beatrice his wife, but notwithstanding the feoffments aforesaid he was in possession of the premises from the time of the death of William de Langeford until 9 July, 42 Edward III, when he died. William de Langeford by the same testament bequeathed all his houses on Houndisdych in the same parish to the said Beatrice and William her son jointly for the term of their lives, and after the death of Beatrice to the said William and the heirs of his body, with remainder in default of such heirs to the chapel of ‘la Gihalle,’ London, to find a chaplain to celebrate there for ever for his soul (excepting always the houses which he had before given to Beatrice). The said houses so bequeathed jointly to Beatrice and William now comprise a messuage called ‘le Mothalle’ and 11 shops surrounding it with solars built thereon. John Gateneys and the aforesaid Beatrice his wife are now in possession of them in right of Beatrice by virtue of William de Langeford’s legacy. All the premises are held of the king in free burgage, as is the whole city of London. William de Langeford has no heirs now surviving, so far as the jurors can ascertain at present. Another copy of the above. Petition (undated) from John Yve, chaplain, and Richard Lamb, citizen and mercer of London, to the king and council. William de Langford, knight, by his will (as above) devised all his houses by Kockeslane in the parish of St. Sepulchre without Neugate which he had by gift of John de Oxenford to William son of Beatrice Basset for life, saving the reversion thereof to himself and his heirs. As he died without issue the reversion descended to Maud Hert, his sister and heir, who, by her deed enrolled in ‘la Gyldhall’ of London in the husting held on Monday the feast of SS. Philip and James, 42 Edward III, granted the said reversion to the petitioners and their heirs and assigns for ever. After the death of William son of Beatrice the petitioners entered into their reversion, whereupon a writ of diem clausit extremum to the escheator of London was sued out, and it was found [by the inquisition] that William Langford died without heir, and that the tenements are held of the king in burgage; by virtue of which office the king entered and granted the houses by patent to Master John Gateneys for life, with reversion to the king. The petitioners therefore pray that the chancellor may be ordered to do right and reason, and to proceed to a final settlement of the matter without waiting further directions. French. |
|
| Writ to the sheriffs of London, referring to the above petition and the letters patent in favour of Master John Gateneys mentioned therein (Calendar of Patent Rolls, 1367–1370, p. 146), and ordering them to warn the said John to be before the king in the Chancery on the morrow of St. John before the Latin Gate next to shew cause why the said letters should not be revoked &c. 18 April, 45 Edward III. | |
|
Endorsed: (1) Answer of Robert de Cayton and William Walworth, sheriffs. They have warned John Gateneys as above directed by John Roule and William Harwedon.
(2) On the said day the parties appeared, and John Gateneys alleged the king’s grant and prayed the king’s aid, which was granted him. The matter was adjourned to the octave of St. John the Baptist, and John Ive and Richard Lambe were told that meanwhile they should sue against the king. |
|
| Writ to the chancellor to proceed in the plea pending before him in the Chancery by writ of scire facias between John Yve, chaplain, and Richard Lamb, and John Gateneys, touching tenements in Smethefeld in the parish of St. Sepulchre, (which has been long delayed), notwithstanding that John Gateneys claims to hold the premises by letters patent under the great seal; but not to proceed to render judgement without consulting the king. Given under the privy seal, 30 June, 45 Edward III. French. | |
