Description
Petitioners
William le Moyne.
Name(s)
Moyne, William
Addressees
King and council
Nature of request
Moyne requests that since the king is only a tenant by common law in a messuage and land in Didmarton, that he be able to have remedy by a writ of formedon in Chancery since his mother and brothers are dead without heirs of their body. Robert le Moygne gave a messuage and lands in Didmarton to Thosard with remainders to the petitioner and his brothers. Thosard held the manor for her life only and leased the manor to the queen. On the queen's death the tenements came into the hand of the king.
Nature of endorsement
He should show what he has of the form and condition, and in the meantime the charter of enfeoffment made to the queen should be examined by the executors of the queen.
Places mentioned
Dudemerton (Didmarton), [Gloucestershire].
People mentioned
Robert le Moygne
Cecilie Thosard
Robert [le Moyne], son of Cecilie Thosard and brother of the petitioner
John [le Moyne], son of Cecilie Thosard and brother of the petitioner
[Eleanor of Castile], Queen of England.
Note
The petition is dated speculatively to 1290 by the reference to the late queen who in all probability is Eleanor of Castile, otherwise the petition would be much later, c. 1318 for the death of Edward I's second queen.
