Nature of request
The Staneleys request remedy as the escheator has seized the manor of Thackthwaite into the king's hand because he considered that Alice de Lucy had alienated the manor without the king's assent. Dundragh had given two parts of the manor to Thomas de Lucy, his heirs and assigns during Alice's life, and they are held from Alice in chief, and Thomas de Lucy was seised of the same. He then gave the two parts to Margaret [Staneley] his sister and to the heirs of her body. Afterwards the Croftons granted and quitclaimed the third part of the manor to Margaret, the quitclaim being made before the justices in eyre.
Nature of endorsement
He should sue to make the inquisition of this business come before the king's council at London, it being in Chancery. And the inquisition should be examined in the same place, and let what by right ought to be done be done.
Places mentioned
Thackthwaite, [Cumberland].
