Lincoln, for her life, by the gift of Robert Bavent, her late father, which manors are held of the king in chief; whereupon, by writ of chancery, the escheator was ordered to take an inquisition, and it was returned into the chancery, and thence to the keeper of the privy seal; by which inquisition it was found that she had the right, but the matter remained in the Wardrobe unexecuted; wherefore she prays the king and council to order that she may be served with her rent. (French.)
Endorsed:—Let the inquisition come back into the chancery, and be there viewed, and let right be done. |

By reason of the minority aforesaid, the said manors are at present in the king’s hand, and are held of the king in chief, by serjeanty of keeping and carrying the king’s falcons.
Letter from [the escheator] to the king, dated at York, 31 May [8 Edward III].

Lincoln, which are now in the king’s hand by reason of the minority of the said Robert’s heir; and if the said Katherine was seised of the said rent, and any other points comprised in the said letters; so that the said inquisition being taken and returned into chancery, the chancellor might cause it to come quickly before the king, that he might give commandment thereon; he sends the said inquisition, thus taken by writ under the great seal, together with the said writ, to the king under his own seal. |
