- Nature of request
- The Nevilles state that Isabel was found to be Ingoldisthorpe's daughter and heir. When they requested livery of the estates from the chancellor in Chancery, he refused on the grounds that the king had granted the marriage and wardship to the queen. The Nevilles disputed this as Isabel was 14, and not a minor at common law. John Neville made recognizances in £1,000 to the queen on the understanding that if it was found that such a grant to the queen was not available, then she would not take any money from Neville. The Nevilles are unable to have a day in their law, and the queen has still levied part of the £1,000, and they are forced to sue a special livery at great expense. They request that the recognizances by annulled, and that women of the age of 14 when their ancestors die should have no problem of obtaining livery of their lands and tenements.
- Nature of endorsement
- [On face] To this bill the commons are assented.[On dorse] Let it be as it is desired.
- People mentioned
- Edmund Yngaldethorp (Ingoldisthorpe), knight, late father of Isabel Neville
- Margaret of Anjou, Queen of England.
