Assizes [taken] at Lancastre before John de Reygate and Geoffrey Aguyllun Justices Assigned on the morrow of the Close of Easter in the Twelfth year of the reign of King Edward [17 April 1284]. Reygate.

During the interval of five and a half years between this Roll and Assize Roll 1238, Assizes were taken in Lancashire by Geoffrey Aguyllun and Alan de Walkingham; yet, beyond occasional references (see pp. 174 and 200), there is now no record of their work. On the death of Alan de Walkingham the following commission was issued:—

1283–4. January 12. York. Appointment of John de Reigate and Geoffrey Aguyllun to take all Assizes Certifications and Attaints arraigned before the said Geoffrey and Alan de Walkyngham (and which have not yet been taken by reason of the death of the said Alan) in the counties of York, Lancaster, Northumberland, Cumberland and Westmorland. Patent Roll, 12 Edward I., m. 19 dorso.

Reigate and Aguyllun commenced their first session at York on 3 February 1283–4, from which date until the autumn of 1285 a record of their work is preserved in this and the following Assize Roll (1265 and 1268).

A.R. 1265 has suffered considerably from damp, especially m. 5, where one or more Lancashire entries have been lost.

Margery has elsewhere called to warrant the Prior of the Hospital of S. John of Jerusalem in England, who now appears by his bailiff and asks that it be shown to him by what he ought to warrant; and Margery shows nothing by which the Prior should warrant, and asks that she may withdraw from the warranty and answer to the Assize, which is conceded: and she says that Hugh purchased the tenement from Juliana and gave it to her (Margery).

Jordan says that, of the said tenement, he only holds a messuage, 2 oxgangs and 14 acres; as to the 14 acres, Margery was never in seisin, and as to the rest, one William de Sonky grandfather of Margery, his heir, held them of him by Knight's Service; and Jordan only claims custody during the minority of Margery. Margery, by Robert de Hyndeley her guardian, she being under age, says that Jordan cannot claim, for he granted the tenement to her grandfather William for ever, at an annual rent of 3s. at the Nativity B.V.M. for all secular services, exactions and demands; and Jordan bound himself and his heirs to acquit and defend the said William and his heirs from all foreign services and suit of the Court of Neuton for that and all the other tenements which William father of Jordan gave to the said William de Sonky; and she produces the charter.

Jordan admits the charter, but says it should not affect the service which has been done ever since the grant by William de Sonky the grandfather, who did foreign service for the said 2 oxgangs, where 9½ carucates make one Knight's Fee.
