Writ for proof of age, 7 Aug. 1400. |
|
WARWICK. |
Proof of age. Coventry. 22 Oct. |
|
Eneas W …, aged 53 years and more, duly examined, says that Roger was aged 23 on Thursday in Whitweek [10 June] last. He was born at Kenilworth castle on Thursday in Whitweek [21 May] 1377, and baptised there, while Eneas was in London in the king’s chancery, seeking a common pardon for himself, such as the king granted to all his lieges. On returning home he was told that the wife of John Deyncourt had given birth to Roger on that Thursday.
John Beaufitz, Henry Barbour of Cubbington, Nicholas Prentost, Thomas Ellesford and John Northampton, all 44 years and more, say that Roger was 23 because it was commonly said at Coventry at Corpus Christi [19 May] that the wife of John Deyncourt had borne a son, Roger, at Whitsun in the castle. A certain Roger Beauford, brother of the pope [Gregory XI], a prisoner of John duke of Lancaster in the custody of John Deyncourt in the castle, was his godfather.
John Clerk of Stivichall, and William …, each 60 years and more, remember that Edward III died on 21 June following the birth. They were servants of William prior of Kenilworth, who baptised Roger.
John Draper of Fenny Compton and William Gildyng, each 56 years and more, were servants of John Deyncourt and after the churching of John Deyncourt’s wife were sent to London to their master, who was awaiting the coronation of the new king.
John Commaunder and John de Barowe, each 63 years and more, were servants of Edward III at the time of his death and long before. After the burial they returned to their homes at Kenilworth and heard of the birth and baptism.
The escheator warned Agnes, widow and executrix of William Arundell, knight, at Ansty, to be at Coventry for the proof of age on the day stated, by John Werst, Thomas Ferst, Robert More and William Lore, but no one came on her behalf.

Thomas Dodyngton, John Holbech, John Clerc, John Assheley and Geoffrey Sutton remember because Guy de Briene dined with them in a house close to that in which Elizabeth was born, and at the dinner they were well and truly informed.
As to the baptism, Lawrence Dureham, William Hatton and Richard Pyry say that at the request of the father they held wax torches beside the font during all the time of the baptism, and so remembered it. John Barnaby, John Reynald, John Pryme and Roger Asshelyn saw a servant of the father carrying some pots full of wine called ‘bastard’ to the church and drank of it there.
Therefore they all say that she was 18 on 13 March.

Ralph Bower, 49 and more, had a son John who died on the day that Thomasia was born, and the death was recorded in a missal in the church.

Philip Jonson of Mablethorpe, 40, and John Yonge of Theddlethorpe, 50, say that at that time there was a tempest, the sea broke over the shore at North Coates, and a great part of the country was submerged.

Writ, melius sciri, stating that an inquisition held by Alan Waldeyve, escheator of Richard II, [CIPM XVII, no. 605] found that Nicholas Ryvell and John de Conyngesby, clerks, William de Halughton and Humphrey de Halughton, by their charter, conveyed to Ralph de Bracebrigge, knight, and Joan his wife the manors of Kingsbury and Plumpton, and all the other lands which they had of his grant, to them and the heirs of Ralph, and that Ralph died on 20 Oct. 1395.
