Description (What the record is about)

- Petitioners
- Nicholas de Latimer.
- Name(s)
- de Latimer, Nicholas

- King and council.
- Nature of request
- The petitioner asks the king to uphold his lordship and custody of the manor of Melbourn. He shows that John de Argentine held the manor from him by knight's service, and did not hold anything else of the king other than by petty serjeanty. The escheator seized the manor into the king's hands after Argentine's death, with no one in occupation. Argentine's widow sued out of chancery the diem clausit extremum, which was not declared in court, nor could the petitioner obtain another writ from chancery, by reason of which he is on the point of losing custody of the said manor.
- Nature of endorsement
- Let him have a writ from chancery to the escheator to return the inquisition.
- Places mentioned
- Melbourn, [Cambridgeshire].
- People mentioned
- John de Argentine
- [Agnes de Argentine], widow of John de Argentine.
