Petition to the king and council by Thomas, son and heir of William Latymer, shewing that he was seised of the manor of Wodenton, by his father’s gift, and was afterwards ejected through an inquisition returned into the chancery by Walter de Hungerford, escheator, by virtue whereof the queen entered upon the manor; whereupon the said Thomas sued his petition, and there was granted him a writ to William Trussel, escheator, to enquire concerning the said Thomas’s right, and it was found that his father gave him the said manor, and that he was in peaceable possession thereof, until the queen ejected him; which inquisition was returned into the chancery, and there was delivered to the queen on Ascension day a letter, by virtue of which the said Thomas has a day for hearing their will. (French, undated.)
Endorsed:—Let him wait for his day in the chancery, and right shall be done him.
Writ of certiorari, 23 March, 10 Edward III.
Whereas by an inquisition made by Walter de Hungerford, late escheator, and returned into the chancery, it was found that William Latymer on the day he died, held the manor of Wodeton, co. Surrey, of the king in chief, by service of a knight’s fee, and that William his son, aged 6 years, was his next heir; but Thomas Latymer, by his petition exhibited to the king and council in the present parliament, gave it to be understood that, for a long time before the death of the said William Latymer, he held the said manor to him and his heirs, by the gift of William Latymer, father of the said Thomas and William, and had continued his seisin peaceably, until the said manor, by colour of the inquisition aforesaid, was taken into the king’s hand, and that neither the said William who last died, nor the said William, father of the said William and Thomas, had ever, after the said manor was so given to the said Thomas, had any other estate therein, than as guardians of the said Thomas, who was then of tender age. The escheator is to enquire whether William Latymer, father of the said William and Thomas, gave the said manor to the said Thomas, or not, &c., in the presence of the steward, or any other of the ministers, of Philippa, queen of England, the king’s consort, to whom the wardship of the lands and tenements which were of the same William was committed until the lawful age of the said heir. By pet. of c.
Endorsed:—Memorandum that a day was given to the said Thomas, with respect to the contents of this writ, at York, on the morrow of All Souls next.
SURREY. Inq. Saturday after the octave of Easter, 10 Edward III.
William le Latymer, father of William le Latymer who last died, and of Thomas le Latymer, gave to the same Thomas, in the 18th year of King Edward II, the manor of Wodeton, to hold to him and his heirs for ever; and the said Thomas was seised thereof, and continued his seisin, until the manor was taken into the king’s hand by Walter de Hungerford, late escheator. Neither the said William, the father of William and Thomas, nor the same William who last died, had any estate in the manor after that gift, other than as guardians of the said Thomas; and the said Thomas never changed his estate therein. The manor was taken into the king’s hand through the death of William le Latymer who last died, and for no other cause.
John de Hegham, steward of Philippa queen of England, was warned to be present at the taking of the inquisition; but came not, nor sent anyone on his behalf.
