Reference
SC 8/13/632
Date
[1348]
Description
Petitioners
John de Turbervyll (Turbeville), valet.
Name(s)
de Turbervyll (Turbeville), John
Addressees
King and council
Nature of request
Turbervyll shows that he has the keeping of the lands and heir of Adam de Grimstead by the ancient render. In the time of Henry III when the foreign woods of Melchet were afforested, Alan de Neville enlarged the bailiwick, and certain profits accrued to the ancestors of Grimstead's heir from them. The foreign woods are now disafforested so that no profit can be had from them, Turbervylle requests that he be discharged of the additional 20s. for the time that the foreign woods were disafforested.
Nature of endorsement
He should sue to the king.
Places mentioned
Melchet Park, [Hampshire]
People mentioned
[John de Grimstead], son and heir of Adam de Grimstead
Adam de Grimsted (Grimstead)
Alan de Nevyll (Neville), Justice of the Forest.
Note
This is dated to 1348 by the details given in Rot. Parl., vol II, p.175; see also PROME, parliament of January-February 1348, appendix, no. 54. Although Turbervyll was granted the marriage of the Grimstead heir on 28 July 1347, he did not gain the keeping of the park until February-July 1348, which confirms a date of 1348 for the petition (CCR 1346-9, pp.435 & 479; CPR 1345-8, p.363).
