Reference
SC 8/74/3658
Date
[c. 1322]
Description
Petitioners
Idonia de Sellyngge, (Selling), widow John de Selling.
Name(s)
de Sellyngge, (Selling), Idonia
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
Sellyngge requests that execution and seisin be granted to her of her reasonable dower in the free tenements that were her late husband's in Sheldwich and Selling. She ought to have the dower and pleaded for the same at the last parliament at York as the tenements are in the king's hand by the forfeiture of Badlesmere. An inquisition was ordered and found for her and returned into Chancery.
Nature of endorsement
The inquisition should be brought before the council.
Places mentioned
Selling, [Kent]
Sheldwich, [Kent]
Badlesmere, [Kent]
York.
People mentioned
John de Sellyngge (Selling), husband of the petitioner
Bartholomew de Badelesmere (Badlesmere)
Edmund de Passele, Justice
John de Ifild, Justice
Thomas de Faversham, Justice.
Note
The petition must date to c. 1322 as the petition requests dower from land forfeited by Bartholomew Badlesmere, and also to an earlier plea to a parliament at York of which there were three in 1322 and none thereafter in Edward II's reign. As inquisitions were being held concerning the manors in 1323 and 1324 the petition may be as late as 1324.
