LINCOLN. Inq. Tuesday after St. Luke, 33 Edw. I.
The said Alice enfeoffed the said Robert of common of pasture in Littilmersk, who died seised thereof, as did his son Walter, and Joice son of the said Walter, after whose death Robert his son, father of Joice Scrope lately deceased and of the aforesaid Joan, entered and continued his seisin until Lady Gonora de Gaunt, to whom Gilbert de Gaunt her father gave in free marriage a moiety of Barton, disseised the said Robert; she sold her moiety of Barton to Sir Gilbert de Gaunt, who gave the whole town to the king, whose bailiffs did not permit the said Joice to use the said common. The said Joice was not in the wardship of the said Gilbert nor was Robert, his father, disseised by the said Gilbert, but the said Joice was in the wardship of the said Gonora for eighteen years. She disseised the said Robert in his last days and held the said pasture several, and it is so still. Ten years have elapsed since the said Gilbert enfeoffed the king of Barton, and forty years since the pasture was held several; the pasture contains 160a., whereof the abbot of Bardenay holds a moiety of the gift of the said Gilbert and his ancestors. The said Joice was aged 40 when he died: he was for eighteen years in the wardship of one Peter de Santon in co. York, and often sought the said common from the said Gilbert, who excused himself with fair words, and when he brought a writ against him always excused himself by the king’s protections, and the said Joice was always sickly (languidus) and could not prosecute his right.
