Whereas a warning has several times been given to all the heirs of Adam son of John de Blakebourn, a free tenant of the lord from the vill of Lewenny, dead in the pestilence, that they should be here to claim fourscore acres of land that the same Adam held in the aforesaid vill, and the same heirs [were] more often summoned and warned to pay a relief for the said lands and do the customs due from them, they did not come, but for two years and more utterly ceased the services due for the said lands. Hitherto, here in full session in the presence of the aforesaid justices, it was ordered by them that the said heirs be solemnly called to come to the present court to pay the relief for the said lands and to pay in full the arrears of rent of the said lands. And that it was witnessed at the present court by John de Delves the elder and one of the aforesaid justices that in the year next after the pestilence, at Michaelmas and several other times, a certain proclamation was publicly made, by a servant of the lord earl, throughout all his lordship of Rhos, Rhufoniog, and Ceinmerch, as well among the English as the Welsh, in every available court, that whoever wished to claim any land, tenement or right within the said lordship, that, before a certain day limited to them by the said steward on the part of the lord, they should come to make their claim and further to do to the chief lord those things that they by right are held to do for the said lands and rights, and that relate to them, (fn. 15) on pain of losing the same. And that the said heirs did not come to do the said services as was proper. Therefore by the discretion of the justices it was considered that the same land should remain to the lord as his demesne land for ever. And that the aforesaid heirs should be excluded for ever from all action of right for the said lands. Upon which Thomas son of Roger de Lauton came and took the said land whith all its appurtenances soever from the lord. To hold and have to himself and his heirs and assigns for ever. Rendering thence yearly to the lord the accustomed rent viz. 40s at the accustomed terms. And seisin of it was delivered to the same Thomas. And upon this, in witness and warranty of the aforesaid process, the present copy was delivered to the aforesaid Thomas under the seal of the steward of the aforesaid lordship.
