Reference
SC 8/124/6169
Date
[c. 1327]
Description
Petitioners
Alice de Lisle (Insula), widow of Warin de Lisle.
Name(s)
de Lisle (Insula), Alice
Addressees
Council.
Nature of request
Alice de Lisle makes two requests.1) She asks for the restoration of the manors of Kingston Lisle, Beedon, Hidden and Lambourn, and their issues, which she held jointly with her husband and which had been taken into the king's hands following her husband's execution on a false judgment.2) Alice requests the restoration to her of the lands of her late brother, of whom she is the heir. These lands are also in the king's hands following a false judgment against Henry.1)
Nature of endorsement
On the first petition, let it be sent to the Chancery, and the Chancellor shall advise on the reason for the lands and tenements being in the king's hands, and if they were taken on account of the dispute and no other then let them be restored by due process.2) On the second petition, because the process against Henry, examined in full parliament, is shown to be erroneous and has been repealed by common assent of all present, let the heir be restored to her heritage by due process, notwithstanding the judgment.
Places mentioned
Kingston Lisle, [Berkshire]
Beedon, [Berkshire]
Hidden, [Berkshire]
Lambourn, [Berkshire].
People mentioned
Warin de Isdle (Insula, Lisle), late husband of the petitioner
Henry Tyes (Teyes, Tyeys), brother of the petitioner.
Note
The petition clearly seeks to restore forfeitures made in the aftermath of the Lancaster revolt of 1322. Inquisitions post mortem for both Lisle and Tyes were held in 1327, and given that the petitioner refers to 'false judgments', the petition would seem to date from early in the reign of Edward III.
