| Writ to Robert Malet to send the record and process of the aforesaid inquisition, 6 April, 22 Edw. I. | |
| Answer of Robert Malet. When Gilbert de Briddeshale, William de Bereford and the writer, by the king’s special mandate, took an inquisition at Bedeford as to the death of Henry de la Leye, Nicholas de Cernes was indicted of the death, wherefore the sheriff was ordered to take him. And the sheriff, coroners and jury testified that, immediately after committing the said felony, the said Nicholas withdrew himself and fled, wherefore the aforesaid justices ordered the sheriff to take his lands, tenements and chattels into the king’s hand. Afterwards the said Nicholas came before Robert Malet and Hugh de Brandeston, assigned for the delivery of Bedford gaol, on Friday after the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, 21 Edw. I, and would not put himself on the inquisition of the country for the said death, and therefore was remitted to prison to have the penalty of the statute. His chattels were confiscated on account of his flight and his lands and tenements were taken into the king’s hand by the said Gilbert &c. as aforesaid. | |

| Writ at the request of the said Edmund, who is in the wardship of Henry de Sancto Lamberto and Benevenue late the wife of John Ertaud, 30 July, 22 Edw. I. | |
| STAFFORD. | Proof of age, made at Stafford on Thursday after St. Laurence, 22 Edw. I. |
|
Nicholas, prior of St. Thomas’s by Stafford, says that the said Edmund was born at Madeleye on St. Edith’s day, 15 July, 1 Edw. I, and this he knows because, when news of the birth was heard in Stafford, many rejoiced; and within two months of his birth he saw the said Edmund, who was baptized in the church of Madeleg.
Walter de Elmedon, chaplain, and rector of the church of Weston, agrees and knows it because Sir Richard de Stretton, knight, married Rose, sister of Nicholas sometime baron of Stafford and aunt of the said Edmund, who, about the feast of St. Edith before the birth of the said Edmund, bore a daughter Joan, who was 22 years old at the feast of St. Edith last; moreover, the said Edmund was born on the feast of St. Edith next after the eyre of Sir Ralph de Hyngham and his fellows in co. Stafford in the summer before the death of King Henry III. Roger de Pywelesdon, knight, agrees, for he remembers that the said Edmund was born on the feast of St. Edith after the eyre of the said Ralph in co. Salop, which was at Michaelmas before the death of King Henry III; he likewise says that Nicholas the father sent him a letter to come to Madeleg to lift the said Edmund from the font and that hastening to come he found the boy baptized. Henry de Cressewall, knight, agrees. Hugh de Weston, knight, agrees, and adds that soon after the birth the said Nicholas came to his house at Weston and told him that he had a son. William Trumwyn, knight, agrees with Hugh de Weston. Robert de Pype, knight, agrees. William de Staff(ord), knight, agrees, for he remembers that the said Edmund was born on the feast of St. Edith after the death of King Henry III, adding that he himself was at Madeleg on the morrow of the birth of the said Edmund and saw him before he was baptized. William de Wrottesle agrees, adding that servants of the baron of Stafford on their way from Madeleye to Wotton on the morrow of the birth of the said Edmund came to the house of Hugh de Wrottesle his father and brought news of the birth. Robert le Marschall agrees, and knows it because Gilbert le Marschall his father died sixteen years ago at the feast of the Purification last, and then it was commonly said that the said Edmund was 4 years old at the feast of St. Edith before; and he himself was of the household of Nicholas the father. Hugh de Chaulden agrees with William de Staff(ord), and says that he was present at Madeleye when the said Edmund was baptized. Robert Gerveyse agrees with Hugh de Weston, because at the feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist before the birth of the said Edmund he demised a meadow in Pobbemor for 21 years to William de Aspeleye and the term expired at the said feast last. Memorandum by the escheator that he warned Henry de Sancto Lamberto at Maddeleye, to be present, whose bailiff came to the inquiry and had nothing to say why the king should not restore the lands &c. to the said Henry if of full age, and the said Benevenue was warned at Wotton and came not nor sent anyone. |

William le Latimer who held lands &c. of the said Lucy’s inheritance, being called did not come, but Robert Bussel his bailiff came and said nothing why the same should not be restored to her. William de Layburn and Walter de Rokeslee did not come because they hold nothing of the inheritance of the said Lucy in the county. |
|
| Writ (ad melius inquirendum), the previous inquisition being insufficient because it makes no mention of the age of the said Lucy nor whether William de Layburn and Walter de Rokeslee, who held lands &c. of the inheritance by the king’s commission, were warned to be present, 22 Jan. 23 Edw.

I, when William son of William Latymer, Lucy his wife, Thomas Latymer and others unknown violently ejected him, and took all the issues &c. until the octave of St. Michael following, to his damage of 20l. &c., when the said Walter was re-seised by the king’s writ: on the morrow he was violently ejected by the said William and Lucy and others, who took all the issues until the feast of St. Martin following to his damage of 30l., when he was re-seised by the king’s writ by the escheator and by view of William de Midleton, the king’s bailiff, and others. He remained so seised until Friday before St. Nicholas, 23 Edw. I. when several persons unknown from the towns of Skamston and Kyrkbrunn, on behalf of the said William and Lucy, entered by force and broke the doors of the hall and grange, took his corn and goods and ejected him and beat and ill-treated Walter de Throkyng, his attorney. Wherefore he says, the lands &c., of the inheritance of the said Lucy ought not to be restored to her, until they have satisfied the king for the contempt, and the said Walter for his loss. The said William and Lucy are still in seisin of the manor. |

And afterwards on the morrow of the Ascension, 22 [Edw. I], the sheriff of York was commanded to warn the bailiffs of the executors of the said Queen Eleanor to be present; who came not, but Richard de Brettevill said for the king that the lands ought not yet to be restored to the said heir because he had not yet satisfied for his marriage; and on the same day the sheriff of Sussex warned the said Anthony bishop of Durham &c., who came not; wherefore the examination of the said proof was proceeded with, saving the king’s right concerning the marriage. |
