Folios: 159v-160. Northumberland. Lawsuit.

First party: Hereward de Marisco and Rametta, his wife, by their attorney.

Second party: Henry de Neketon [Necton].

Place or subject: By the king's writ, Hereward and Rametta now seek against Henry the fishery of Sandsted and a moiety of the fishery of Blakwell in the river Twed [Tweed] with appurtenances, as her right, in which she did not have entry except by John le Vescunte [Viscount], her father, whose heir she is, who demised them to her while he was not of sound mind. Henry comes and defends Rametta's right, and says that the earl can claim no right in demesne in the said fisheries, because he says that he did his homage for the said fisheries to a certain Eborard le Tyes [Teutonicus], Rametta's first husband. And afterwards he was impleaded by a certain Alesia, formerly the wife of John le Viscunte, about a third part of the said fisheries before the justices itinerant at Novum Castrum [Newcastle upon Tyne], and he called to warrant Eborard and Rametta against her, and they warranted to him in the same court. Whereupon they seek judgement if they can now seek the said fisheries in demesne. They also say that, if anyone impleads him about the said fisheries, Rametta, as heir of the said John le Viscunte, father of the same Rametta, in court before the king at Redyng [Reading] in 25 Hen III, by a fine made between the same Henry, querent, by John Belejambe, his attorney, and the said John le Viscunte by Robert Hareng, his attorney, acknowledged the said fisheries with appurtenances to be Henry's right as those which he had of the gift of the same John.

County: [Northumberland].

Undated.
