- Nature of request
- Hugh de Waltham and Christina state that Thomas de Lillyngston, Christina's late husband, under the name of Thomas Aspelon gave the manor of Lillingstone, by his charter, in fee simple to Henry Smyth of Norton, John de Bartone, Richard Lakenham and Thomas Kenteys, clerk, who continued in seisin until after Thomas' death, and enfeoffed Christina in fee, and she held it until she was disseised by Thomas atte Well and Geoffrey Thurbarn, kinsmen and heirs of her late husband, and others. She recovered the manor by an assize of novel disseisin before Robert de Thorp and his companions, on the feast of St Margaret, in the thirty-sixth year of the reign of the present king, but she has been delayed in her execution because the escheator attested shortly afterwards that he had seized certain lands and tenements belonging to the manor into the king's hand, because it had been found by inquest that Thomas de Lillyngston died seised of these tenements and of others, part of which were held of the king, whereas he had nothing in these tenements at the time of his death. The manor is in the king's hand, and Hugh and Christina request a remedy.
