|
Memorandum of writ of venire facias to the sheriff to provide a jury to take the proof of age of the said Henry heir of Henry son of Conan, who held of the heir of Marmaduke de Twenge, deceased, and he of the king in chief by knight’s service, whose lands &c. are in the wardship of William le Latimer, the elder, by the king’s grant. The said William le Latimer being warned came not; wherefore let the proof of age be taken.
William de Ebor, aged 60, dwelling at Lesingby, 11 leagues (or miles?) from Sokeburn where the said heir was born, says that he was 22 on Monday after St. Lambert last, and this he knows because he has a daughter, Emma, born on the quinzaine of St. Michael after the said birth, who was 22 on the said day last past. Henry son of Conan, his grandfather, was dwelling at Leverton, 5 leagues from Lesyngby, at the time of the heir’s birth, and there came messengers announcing the birth and praying him to come to the baptism, which from infirmity he could not do, but commanded that they should give the heir his name, whether male or female. He (the heir) was baptized at Sokeburn in the parish church; the chaplain was named Gilbert, and the godparents were William parson of the church, Thomas his clerk, and one Elizabeth lady of the said town. John de Kyrkebi in Clivelaund, 11 leagues from Sokeburn, aged 60 and more, agrees, except that the second godfather was named John Brun, and this he knows because he holds his lands from John de Ever, his lord, who was born on the same day as the said heir, and proved his age 2 years ago. Richard de Fenton, aged 50, dwelling at Marton in Cliflaund, 8 leagues from Sokeburn, agrees, and knows it because he has a son Stephen who was born on the 8th day after the heir, who was 22 on Monday after St. Lambert last, and also he came to Sokeburn on the morrow of the said heir’s baptism, and was then bailiff of Marmaduke de Twenge at Iarum, where rumour came immediately after the birth of the heir, and he spoke with the messenger going and returning from the grandfather. John de Eynitres, aged 40, dwelling at Marton in Cliflaund, agrees, and knows it because he has a son Robert born at the feast of All Saints next after the heir’s birth, who was 22 at that feast last. Walter de Hemelsay, aged 60, dwelling at Hemelsay, 50 leagues from Sokeburn, agrees, and knows it because the said heir was 6 and more at the time of the death of the said Henry his grandfather, 16 years and more ago. John de Skipwyth, aged 60 and more, dwelling at Skipwyth 30 leagues from Sokeburn, agrees, and knows it because he had a son born at Easter after the said heir’s birth, who was 22 at Easter last; and he was in service with the grandfather. Robert de Pontefracto, aged 50, dwelling at Wylesthorp, 26 leagues from Sokeburn, agrees, and says as Walter de Hemelsay, and he was in friendship with the said grandfather. William le Cerf, aged 40, dwelling at Catherton, 40 leagues and more from Sokeburn, agrees, and knows it because Conan the said heir’s father was of such tender age when the said heir’s mother was pregnant that it was commonly said he could not have begotten a child, and after the heir’s birth there was much talk about it in the country. Henry de Colton, aged 40 and more, dwelling at Colton, 50 leagues and more from Sokeburn, agrees, and knows it because his eldest son, Henry, who lately died, was born on the same day, and would have been 22 on the day of St. Lambert last. Michael de Cnapton, aged 60, dwelling at Cnapton, 40 leagues from Sokeburn, agrees as to the age and place, and says as Walter de Hemelsay, and the heir was with his grandfather at the time of his death, and then witness saw him, who was 6 and more. Thomas in le Wylies, aged 60, dwelling at Coton, 40 leagues from Sokeburn, agrees, and knows it because he was at the wapentake between Use and Derwent, where Henry the grandfather was, when report came to him of the heir’s birth. Henry de Cruce, aged 36, dwelling at Catherton, agrees, but knows only by the relation of others. And because the said Henry has sufficiently proved his age and appears by his aspect to be of full age, let him have seisin of the lands &c. of his inheritance, and let this record be sent to the chancery. |
