Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- William de Brewouse.
- Name(s)
- de Brewouse, William
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- William de Brewouse states that after the death of Adam de Bavent, his tenant, he seized into his hand the manors of Wiston, Chiltington, Slaughter and Heene in the name of wardship, because of the minority of Adam's heir. But William de la Marche, Edward I's Treasurer, sent a writ to the escheator to seize the manors into the King's hand, and said, wrongly that he held other lands in chief of the King, in order to take the wardship of the lands and the marriage of the heir from William. William asks that this might be inquired into by Domesday Book and the Book of Fees, and by other remembrances of the Exchequer, and that William might be given a remedy.
- Nature of endorsement
- The petition is to be delivered into Chancery, and the inquisitions returned in Chancery after the death of Adam de Bavent are to be examined, and how the lands and tenements were delivered out of the King's hand; and justice is then to be done.
