	La Hale. A messuage and a carucate of land held of Robert de Godyton by knight’s service. He died on 4 April, 23 Edward III. Robert his son, aged two years and more, is his heir.
	Commission of plenius certiorari to Theobald de Gorges, William de Ryngebourn and John de Kyngesdon on the suit of Adam Brabasoun and Margery his wife, sister and heir of Robert de Godyton, who claimed that the custody of the messuage and land aforesaid ought to belong to them by reason of the minority of the deceased’s heir, and prayed the king to remove his hand therefrom. The king directed the sheriff of Southampton to warn Richard le Kerver of Winchester, who holds the said custody by the king’s commission, to be before the king in chancery on the quinzaine of Easter last with the letters patent touching the said custody if any, to show cause why the said letters should not be revoked and the king’s hand removed from the said messuage and land. On which day the said Richard and Adam came in person and the said Margery by John de Codyngton the younger, her attorney; and Richard le Kerver said that the manor of Hale was formerly half a knight’s fee and that William de Godyton held the whole of it of the manor of Gatecomb, which is held of the king in chief, by service of a moiety of a knight’s fee. After the said William’s death the said manor of Hale was equally divided between two heirs. Richard atte Hale on the day of his death held by knight’s service the aforesaid messuage and land as a moiety of the said manor of Hale of the heir of John de Gatecombe, a minor in the king’s wardship, as of the manor of Gatecomb, so that the wardship of the heir of Richard atte Hale and the custody of the messuage and land aforesaid ought to belong to the king. The said Adam and Margery say that Richard atte Hale and his ancestors, tenants of the said messuage and land, held the same immediately of William de Godyton and other ancestors of the said Margery, who held them in service of the said manor of Gatecomb time out of mind by knight’s service; denying (absque eo quod) that the said William held the whole of the manor of Hale in demesne or that a partition or division was afterwards made thereof among the heirs, as has been alleged by Richard le Kerver. The commissioners are to enquire into the foregoing, in presence of the feodaries of the island and of the keeper of the king’s lands &c. there, or of his attorney, and by distraint, amercements &c. to compel the attendance of those whom they see fit to summon on a fixed day to Hale, and, having heard all parties, to send the inquisition into the chancery before the quinzaine of Holy Trinity next; 27 April, 26 Edward III.
SOUTHAMPTON; ISLE OF WIGHT.	Inq. taken at La Hale before the aforesaid commissioners, Thursday, 31 May, 26 Edward III.
	La Hale. The manor was lately half a knight’s fee and William de Godyton never held the whole of it of the manor of Gatecombe in demesne, but he held a moiety of the said manor of Hale in demesne and the other half in service of the said manor of Gatecombe by service of a moiety of a knight’s fee. The said manor of Hale, after the said William’s death, was not divided between two heirs, as alleged by Richard le Kervere. Richard atte Hale did not hold the aforesaid messuage and land of the heir of John de Gatecombe, a minor, but of Robert de Godyton, by service of a quarter of a knight’s fee, as of a mesne between himself and the lord of Gatecombe. The jurors being asked, on behalf of the king, whether the said manor of la Hale had at any time of old been entire and afterwards divided between two sisters, heirs thereof, say that at present they know not.
	Commission to Theobald de Gorges, Henry de Greystok and John de Kyngesdon to inquire whether the manors called la Northale and Southale in the Isle of Wight were at any time one whole manor or not; and, if so, when, and if that manor was afterwards divided to enquire as to the partition &c.; 24 April, 27 Edward III. By letter of the Griffon.
SOUTHAMPTON; ISLE OF WIGHT.	Inq. taken at Northale before Henry de Greystok and John de Kyngesdon, Monday in Whitsun week, 27 Edward III.
	The manors called la Northale and Southale in the Isle of Wight were one whole manor, called Hale, in the time of King Henry III, and one William atte Hale then held it of the lord of the manor of Gatecombe by service of a moiety of a knight’s fee and by doing suit at his court of Gatecombe. After his death the said manor of Hale was partitioned between Joan and Annora, daughters and heirs of the said William, so that the manor now called Southale was allotted to Joan and the other manor now called Northale to Annora in the time of the said King Henry. From Joan the right of her pourparty descended to William de Godynton, her son and heir, and from him to Robert his son and heir, and from him to Robert his son and heir, from whom it descended to Margery his sister and heir, whom Adam Brabason married, and he now holds the said manor of Southale. From Annora the right of her pourparty descended to John Michel, her son and heir, and from him to Henry atte Hale, his son and heir, and from him to Richard atte Hale, his son and heir, and from him to his son and heir Robert, who is a minor three years of age. So the said Adam and Margery now hold the manor of Southale, as of the right of the said Margery, and the said manor of Northale by pretext of a writ of the king to the escheator of the island to deliver seisin thereof to them.
	Writ of scire facias to the sheriff of Southampton to warn the aforesaid Adam and Margery to be in the king’s chancery on the quinzaine of Holy Trinity next, wherever it may then be, to show cause why the said manor of Northale should not be taken into the king’s hand by way of custody and why they should not account to the king for the issues received since the death of Richard atte Hale, as it appears from the last two inquisitions that Northale and Southale are held by knight’s service of the manor of Gatcombe, which is in the king’s hand; 18 May, 27 Edward III.
	Endorsed by the sheriff that he had returned the writ to John de Kyngesdon, bailiff of the liberty of the Isle of Wight, who answered that he warned the said Adam and Margery as above by Richard Tyrel and Henry Wyneman. Endorsed in another hand: The said sheriff, on account of his insufficient return, was fined 10s. and another writ of scire facias issued, returnable on the octave of St. John the Baptist.
	Writ of scire facias to the sheriff of Southampton, 10 June, 27 Edward III.
	Endorsed by the sheriff that he had returned the writ to the above-named bailiff, who had warned the said Adam and Margery accordingly. Endorsed in another hand: On which day the whole matter was sent before the king, as appears in the annexed record. Record of plea. On which day the said Adam and Margery come and say that Richard atte Hale, father of the minor Robert, and his ancestors held the tenements called the manor of Northale of Robert de Godyton, brother of Margery, whose heir Margery is, and their ancestors as of their manor of Suthale, by homage &c., and the said Robert and his ancestors held Northale of John de Gatecombe, whose son and heir is now a minor in the king’s wardship, by homage, as a mesne (medius) between the lords of the manor of Gatecombe and the tenants of Northale, denying that the manors called Northale and Suthale were sometime held as a whole in demesne &c. as above. Henry de Greystok, for the king, says that the manors of Northale and Suthale were one whole manor and in the possession of one and the same person, who then held it of the lord of the manor of Gatecombe by knight’s service and afterwards it was partitioned between two co-heirs, so that the manor of Northale was allotted to one and the manor of Suthale to the other. Both parties put themselves upon the country, and thereupon a day was given to the said Adam and Margery before the king on the morrow of St. Martin, wherever the king might then be. The sheriff is directed to have a jury of 24 ready. (Undated.)
