- Nature of request
- Margaret de Acastre states that Hugh de Acastre, citizen of York, was seised of various tenements in that city, part of which he assigned during his lifetime to his wife Eve, for the term of her life. After his death she alienated these tenements in perpetuity to Alan de Furness, while John, Hugh's son and heir was outside England. Margaret brought a writ of right against Alan in the city of York, claiming that seisin descended from Hugh to John his son and heir, then to Margaret, John's daughter and heir. Alan answered that she could have no action because Eve her grandmother enfeoffed him of the same tenements, binding herself and her heirs to warranty. Margaret requests a judgement as to whether she can have an action, as she is barred from her inheritance.
