Reference
SC 8/63/3107
Date
[1337]
Description
Petitioners
Agnes Mautravers (Maltravers), wife of John Mautravers.
Name(s)
Mautravers (Maltravers), Agnes
Addressees
King and council
Nature of request
Mautravers requests that her right to present a clerk to the chapel be ratified and confirmed, and misprison made by the escheator redressed so that she not lose her right to the patronage to the chapel. She was assigned the chapel as dower after the death of her first husband, but by the misprison of the escheator concerning the identity of the chapel she lost it.
Nature of endorsement
The inquest of diem clausit extremeum of the death of D'Argentein should come before the council. Because it was found by the inquest shown before the council that D'Argentein died seised of the advowson of the chapel of Sts Simon and Jude in the vill, the which advowson is assigned to Agnes in dower; and that it was found by another inquisition that he had one chapel in the vill which was D'Argentein's patronage and was dedicated to Our Lady, and that there was no chapel dedicated to Simon and Jude, and that he held no other in the vill, it seems to the council that notwithstanding the misprison of the name of the chapel in the inquisition of diem clausit extremum that the king ought to repeal his presentment and order to his justices of the Common Bench to go to judgement in the plea pending before them between the king and Agnes upon the advowson of the chapel.
Places mentioned
