Reference
SC 8/185/9233
Date
[1291-1307]
Description
Petitioners
Mary de Breuse (Braose).
Name(s)
de Breuse (Braose), Mary
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
Mary de Breuse requests remedy, stating that she holds at a certain farm the custody of the manor of Bytham, which the king granted to her husband, William, during the minority of Edmund, son and heir of Roger de Colevill. However, parts of these estates have since been granted to Roger's widow, Margaret.
Nature of endorsement
View the commission made to William, and the assignment of dower made to Margaret, and if it is found that . . . [illegible].
Places mentioned
Byham (Castle Bytham), [Lincolnshire].
People mentioned
Edmund [de Colevill (Coleville)], son and heir of Roger de Colevill
Roger de Colevill (Coleville)
William de Breuse (Braose), late husband of the petitioner
Margaret [de Colevill (Coleville)], widow of Roger de Colevill.
Note
William de Breuse died in January 1291 (Complete Peerage, III, p.302), while Edmund de Colevill was born in January 1288, coming of age in 1309 (CIPM, Vol. V, no.157). Clearly the petition dates from between Breuse's death in 1291 and 1307, as the king to whom the petition is addressed appears to be the same as the one who made the original grant (i.e. Edward I).
