Nature of request
John Okebourn and Joan his wife state that Nicholas Latymer, husband of Catherine, whose heir Joan is, without his wife's consent alienated certain tenements of hers, which then came into the hand of Robert, son and heir of Robert Latymer, through feoffment. Joan sued a writ of cui in vita against Robert to recover them, but by the abetment of John atte Lee, an inquest was procured, which found that the tenements were Robert's by right of descent: thus they are in the king's hand, the wardship given to John atte Lee, and a writ sent to the justices to stay proceedings in the plea on Joan's writ. They request a remedy.
