Reference
SC 8/44/2188
Date
[1378]
Description
Petitioners
Robert Derwalshawe, esquire.
Name(s)
Derwalshawe, Robert
Addressees
King and council
Nature of request
Derwalshawe shows that Kyngesfold bought the reversion of a moiety of the manor of Stoke Mandeville after the death of the petitioner and his wife. The reversion came to Perrers, who enfeoffed it under the condition that the petitioner and his wife enjoyed their life term. The moiety has now been seized into the king's hand because of a judgement against Perrers in the last parliament. Derwalshawe requests that the enfeoffment be examined and if it is found that the enfeoffment was in this form then he be restored to hold for the term of his life.
Nature of endorsement
Because Freton, Broun and Kyngesfold were examined on the matter upon their oath that the . . . was only made of the reversion of the moiety of the manor after the death of the petitioner, it is agreed that he should have the moiety for his life, saving the reversion to the king.
Places mentioned
Stoke Mandeville, Buckinghamshire
Londres (London)
Warwick, [Warwickshire].

Robert Broun (Brown) of Warwick.
Note
The petition dates to 1378 because the moiety of the manor was restored to Derwalshawe on 28 May of that year (CPR 1377-81, p.226). Internal evidence indicates that the petition was made after the forfeiture of Alice Perrers in the parliament of October 1377.
