Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Robert de la Mare.
- Name(s)
- de la Mare, Robert
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- Robert de la Mare states that after the death of his father, Peter de la Mare, he did homage for half the manor of Market Lavington, and came to the Exchequer to acknowledge his tenancy; but that, because in the Red Book of the Exchequer a Peter de Mara was found, who held Market Lavington by barony for two knights' fees in the reign of Henry II, the Barons of the Exchequer wish to charge him for this rather than for the single knight's fee that he holds - as he is ready to aver. He requests a writ to the Treasurer and Barons that, if they can find by a good inquisition or otherwise that the whole manor is held for two knights' fees, and that he only holds half of it, they are to accept his relief for one knight's fee only.
- Nature of endorsement
- He is to have a writ to the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer that, if they can find anything of record, or any other remembrance in the said Exchequer, or by inquisition if necessary, or in any other suitable manner, that he holds half the manor by the service of one knight's fee, as he claims in his petition, and not by barony, then they are to receive from him the correct amount for one fee for his relief, discharging him from the rest, notwithstanding that the name of the said Peter is found in the Red Book among the names of barons.
