Description

Thomas Haket, husband of Amice Haket; Amice Haket, wife of Thomas Haket.
Name(s)
Haket; Haket, Thomas; Amice
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
The Hakets show that they were enfeoffed of the manor of Brompton in Somerset by Wayte and Edmund of the heritable gift of Glamorgan. Afterwards, in their absence by an inquest taken by the escheator of the county it was found that Glamorgan died seised of the manor and that Nicholas his brother, an idiot, was his right heir and the Hakets were ousted. The Hakets have petitioned in parliament suing their case on several occasions but have been unable to have enquiry made by the sheriff and escheator of the county because he will not hold the inquest without a writ under the privy seal of the king so that they are disinherited of their right and disturbed in their suit against the common law of the land and judgement of parliament. They request a writ under the privy seal of the king to his chancellor and his escheator that the inquest of office be taken in the Hakets' presence according to the common law of the land and the judgement of parliament.
Nature of endorsement
Coram ipso rege.
Places mentioned
