Reference
SC 8/61/3042
Date
[c. 1310]
Description
Petitioners
Margaret de Multon, widow of Hubert de Multon.
Name(s)
de Multon, Margaret
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Multon requests that no livery of seisin in the manors of Isel and Surlingham is granted to William le Brun without notifying her to show what she knows for the estate of the king and her heir who is under age and in the king's wardship. Le Brun, whilst the lands are in the king's hand has sued to have seisin of Hubert de Multon's lands. Le Brun is a bastard fathered by Multon on his cousin Ada le Brun, they having been married knowing their kinship, and having been divorced on proof of this previous knowledge, which the petitioner can prove. This is to the deception of the king and the right heirs.
Nature of endorsement
It should not be delivered without a special order of the king.
Places mentioned
Gilsland, [Cumberland]
Isel, Cumberland
Surlingham, Norfolk.
People mentioned
Hubert de Multon, late husband of the petitioner
John [de Multon], son and heir of Hubert and Margaret de Multon
Thomas de Multon of Gilsland
William le Brun, bastard son of Hubert de Multon
Ada la Brun, mother of William le Brun, and cousin of Hubert de Multon.
Note
The petition probably dates to c. 1310 because the king ordered the manor of Isel into his hand and recited much of the same details found in the petition on 18 February 1310 (CFR 1307-19, p.57). However the fine roll entry is not necessarily an answer to this petition, but may result from further proceedings following the petition, so it is possible that the petition is a little earlier than 1310.
