- escheator north of the Trent
- Nature of request
- Wodehouse requests aid and remedy as the king ordered by the king by writ that Wodehouse, by reason of the ordinances, retake the manor of Heaton and land in Norham into the king's hand, the lands having escheated to the king by forfeiture of John de Grey and had been granted by the king to Wodeham. The escheator ordered the sub-escheator to take them into the king's hand but could not do so because the manor and lands are in the bishop of Durham's liberty of Norham. The bishop entered on the manor and land and requested that the bishop answer to the king for the issues to which he agreed, but now the bishop has intruded Thomas de Grey and the sub-escheator has been unable to oust him.
