Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Thomas de Langedone (Langdon) of the county of Devonshire.
- Name(s)
- de Langedone (Langdon), Thomas
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- Thomas de Langedone complains that John Inge, formerly the sheriff of Devon, by colour of his office and because of his hatred for Thomas, expelled him from all his lands and chattels in Devon, taking them into the king's hand and claiming that Thomas had been an adherent of the contrariants: while during the whole period of the contrariants' rebellion he had been in Devon, in the service of Lady de Cortenay and of the said John, and, then and now, in the king's peace and ready to serve him at any time. When he had done this, John Inge sold, gave away and wasted Thomas's chattels, to the value of 200 marks and more, at his will, and he gave the land, sown with winter corn, to a John Everard, who afterwards had a commission from the king to keep the contrariants' lands which had been taken into the king's hand in Devon and Cornwall - to the great ruin of Thomas and little profit to the king, as the lands are lying fallow and uncultivated, and are worth only 10 marks a year. He requests a remedy.
- Nature of endorsement
- As it is attested before the council that Thomas always conducted himself well and faithfully towards the king, and was never an adherent of his enemies, it is to be ordered, if he can find sufficient mainpernors to guarantee to produce him before the king at his will, body for body, to answer to the king on any matter, and to answer to the king for the issues of his lands and the value of his goods and chattels taken into the king's hand for this reason, if they ought to belong to the king, then Thomas' lands and tenements, goods and chattels, are to be delivered to him by this mainprise.

Note (Additional information about the record)
