- Nature of request
- Thomas de Northwod and his brothers Simon and Humphrey state that their father, John de Northwood, had four sons: them and another John de Northwood. This younger John never established an estate, but had a son, Roger, who was under age when John de Northwood the elder died, seised in Sheppey, Horton, Thornham, Shorne, Binbury, Bettenham, Bobhurst and Birling, held partly in knight's fee and partly in gavelkind in Kent. After his death the escheator seized the lands, as appears by an inquest held and returned into Chancery by the escheator, in the twelfth year of the current king's reign. By virtue of this Thomas, Simon and Humphrey had a writ of Chancery to the escheator to put them in seisin, together with Roger, who was in the king's wardship, of the lands held in gavelkind. And they were thus jointly seised of them, until Bartholomew de Badlesmere expelled them by force, because the king had given him the wardship of Roger for the lands which John de Northwod the elder held in knight's fee. After Bartholomew's forfeiture, the king gave the lands and wardship to the earl of Richmond. They request a remedy.
