SUSSEX.	Inq. (indented) taken at Aylesham in the rape of Pevenesee, 5 April, 43 Edward III. (Twenty jurors.)
	Robert de Clavreggh lately by deed indented granted and let at farm all his lands &c. in the lowy (leucata) of Pevenesee, which is within the liberty of the Cinque Ports, to John Fillol and Maud his wife and the heirs of their bodies, at a yearly rent of 10 marks to be rendered to Robert and his heirs or assigns on the morrow of Michaelmas, with a proviso for re-entry in the event of the said rent being unpaid within three weeks after the said term in any year. William Fifhide purchased the premises from a certain Richard de Stonnor, who married Cecily daughter and heir of the said John Filol, and died in seisin of them in 35 Edward III. William son of the said William de Fyfhide was then 19 years old, as the jurors believe. By the custom and liberty of the Cinque Ports every heir is of full age to alienate his tenements, if he will, immediately on reaching the age of 15 years, and neither the king nor the queen nor any other lords within the said liberty ought to receive any profit of the wardship or marriage of such heir, of whatever age he be, by reason of any tenements within the said liberty; and this liberty all persons of the said lowy of Pevenesee have hitherto used and enjoyed. The farm of 10 marks was in arrear for a year and more while William de Fifhide held the lands, for which reason the said Robert entered on the premises immediately after William’s death, and held them while he lived, and since then Alice who was his wife has been, and still is, in possession, by what title the jurors know not.
