Description (What the record is about)

Instrument by William Breton, knight, Walter de Holt and Robert Burgyllon, witnessing that at a love-day (un jour damour) held at Elmedon, between Richard de Whitacre and Thomas le Hore, a dispute was settled between them concerning land and trespasses thereon. Thomas produced a deed of Richard's confirming the premises to him, and also other lands which Geoffrey Wauters, uncle of the said Thomas, whose heir he was, had by the grant of Sir Richard de Whitacre, father of the said Richard. Richard at first denied the deed as not being sealed with his seal of arms, but afterwards acknowledged it on the evidence of one of the witnesses. 10 January, 43 Edward III. [Warwickshire]
