Description

Nature of request
Hugh de Dacre states that his brother, whose heir he is, died seised of the manor of Dacre in Cumberland, and of other lands and tenements, and, because these lands and tenements were held of the King in chief, and because he died without an heir of his body, they were taken into the hand of the King's grandfather. Hugh came to Chancery and asked to be received to perform the services due for the lands and to have livery of them, as being Randolph's heir and of age, but he was delayed for a year, and in the meantime the keeping of the lands was given to Lord Clifford. He asks that Lord Clifford might be charged with answering to him for the issues received from his lands during this delay, as the law requires.
