Administrative / biographical background

The escheators, as in the case of non-palatinate counties, were officials managing, or investigating, ownerless or forfeit lands, including episcopal temporalities during vacancies, confiscated properties and those of lay tenants on their decease. Sheriffs normally acted as escheators, though in 1410, for instance the sheriffs account specifically excludes estreats, which were paid into the Chancery then.
