Date
[1322]
Description
Petitioners
William de la Beche (Beech); Euphemia de la Beche (Beech), wife of William de la Beche, and one of the daughters and heirs of Edmund Comyn of Kilbride; Hervey de Stanton (Staunton) representing Mary, sister of Euphemia.
Name(s)
Beche (Beech); Beche (Beech); de Stanton (Staunton), William; Euphemia; Hervey
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
The Beches and Stanton request that the co-heiresses of Edmund Comyn be restored to their estate in the manor of Fakenham Aspes of which he had been enfeoffed as a feoffment has been made in deceit of the king's court [whereby they are held out of their inheritance].
Nature of endorsement
Let the escheator be commanded that he enquire of all the acts contained within the petition, and when the inquisition has been returned before the king, let it be viewed and the charters mentioned in the petition inspected, let justice be done.
Places mentioned
East Kilbride, [Lanarkshire, Scotland]
Fakenham Aspes, Suffolk.
People mentioned
Edmund Comyn of Kilbride, father of Euphemia de la Beche and Mary Comyn
Mary [Comyn], one of the daughters and heirs of Edmund Comyn of Kilbride.
Note
The petition dates to 1322 as it is likely to be a near contemporary of SC 8/95/4733 and SC 8/173/8629, and must date to before the inquisition referred to in the response which appears to be that inquisition now surviving as C 143/152/4 which dates to 15 Edw. II.
