Writ of certiorari, 23 March, 10 Edward III.
Whereas by an inquisition made by Walter de Hungerford, late escheator, and returned into the chancery, it was found that William Latymer on the day he died, held the manor of Wodeton, co. Surrey, of the king in chief, by service of a knight’s fee, and that William his son, aged 6 years, was his next heir; but Thomas Latymer, by his petition exhibited to the king and council in the present parliament, gave it to be understood that, for a long time before the death of the said William Latymer, he held the said manor to him and his heirs, by the gift of William Latymer, father of the said Thomas and William, and had continued his seisin peaceably, until the said manor, by colour of the inquisition aforesaid, was taken into the king’s hand, and that neither the said William who last died, nor the said William, father of the said William and Thomas, had ever, after the said manor was so given to the said Thomas, had any other estate therein, than as guardians of the said Thomas, who was then of tender age. The escheator is to enquire whether William Latymer, father of the said William and Thomas, gave the said manor to the said Thomas, or not, &c., in the presence of the steward, or any other of the ministers, of Philippa, queen of England, the king’s consort, to whom the wardship of the lands and tenements which were of the same William was committed until the lawful age of the said heir. By pet. of c.
Endorsed:—Memorandum that a day was given to the said Thomas, with respect to the contents of this writ, at York, on the morrow of All Souls next.
SURREY. Inq. Saturday after the octave of Easter, 10 Edward III.
William le Latymer, father of William le Latymer who last died, and of Thomas le Latymer, gave to the same Thomas, in the 18th year of King Edward II, the manor of Wodeton, to hold to him and his heirs for ever; and the said Thomas was seised thereof, and continued his seisin, until the manor was taken into the king’s hand by Walter de Hungerford, late escheator. Neither the said William, the father of William and Thomas, nor the same William who last died, had any estate in the manor after that gift, other than as guardians of the said Thomas; and the said Thomas never changed his estate therein. The manor was taken into the king’s hand through the death of William le Latymer who last died, and for no other cause.
John de Hegham, steward of Philippa queen of England, was warned to be present at the taking of the inquisition; but came not, nor sent anyone on his behalf.
