Writ to the escheator, concerning the houses and rents in the city of London held by the said Henry de Sobiry and Alice his wife, as her dower of the inheritance of Stephen de Oistergate her first husband, which belonged to King Henry III by the forfeiture of John de Oistergate, son and heir of the aforesaid Stephen, and which the said king granted to the said Henry and his heirs, 30 May, 21 Edw. I.
LONDON. Inq. 3 July, 21 Edw. I.
A messuage opposite Oystergate, partly in the parish of St. Magnus and partly in that of St. Michael, held by the said Henry and Alice, by reason of the said Alice, of the heirs of Stephen de Oystergate, her first husband, rendering yearly to the abbot of Westminster 10d., to London Bridge 10s. and to the prioress and nuns of Clerkenewelle 10s.

Writ (ad melius inquirendum), no mention being made in the previous inquisition of whom the houses and rents abovesaid were held, 21 July, 21 Edw. I.
Answer by the escheator that whereas it is asserted in the writ that King Henry III granted the tenements abovesaid by charter to the said Henry, it seems to him that it was not for him to enquire of whom they were held, when the king by his writ testifies that they are now held of the king, and this ought to be contained in King Henry’s charter.
