Addressees

Nature of request

The Carmenowes show that Ralph and Siregeux inherited the manors of Chambernon, having married Chambernon's two daughters and heirs. Siregeux with his allies came to his manor of Boconnoc and beat him and his daughter, carrying away their goods. Having enfeoffed his estates and holding them for a term of years, Ralph was again assaulted by Siregeux by colour of his office as sheriff and ejecting him from his manor. They request remedy, namely two assizes in the counties for William Carmenowe, and an oyer and terminer for Ralph Carmenowe for the term of years and the taking of his goods and chattels.

Nature of endorsement

Let this bill be ordered to the justices assigned for the taking of the assize in the counties of Devon and Cornwall between William Carmenowe and John Sieregeux, and let the truth of this be enquired of before them.
