Date
[c. 1385]
Description
Petitioners
John Beauchamp of Holt.
Name(s)
Beauchamp, John
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
Beauchamp requests that he be granted the wardship and marriage of John de Loudham, and from heir to heir until he comes of age. He states that Thomas de Loudham died seised on the 12 November of £7 of rent in Norfolk and Suffolk, and the heir is 7 years old.
Nature of endorsement
Let letters patent of custody and marriage be made [...] James Berners, knight, and Robert Fitz Ralph for the extent made or to be made by the extent made or to be made, and by the true value of the marriage [...].
Places mentioned
Holt, [Norfolk]
Norfolk
Suffolk.
People mentioned
Thomas de Loudham, knight
John [de Loudham], son and heir of Thomas de Loudham
James Berners, knight
Robert Fitz Ralph.
Note
The petition is dated to c. 1385 because Thomas de Loudham's Inquisition Post Mortem is dated to 22 November 1385, and the petition is unlikely to be much different in date as the petition gives the same age for the heir as the Inquisition Post Mortem.
