Writ to the escheator in Suffolk to take into the king’s hand the office of chief steward of the abbot of St. Edmund, and to enquire what estate the late earl of Pembroke had therein, and what profits and fees pertain thereto, and who has had possession of them since the earl’s death. 15 June, 49 Edward III.
SUFFOLK. Inq. (indented) taken at Henhowe, Friday after St. James the Apostle, 49 Edward III.
Long before his death the earl divested himself of the under-stewardship of the liberty of St. Edmund in favour of Ralph de Walsham for the life of the latter, and afterwards granted the chief stewardship, the reversion of the under-stewardship, and whatever pertained to him of the said stewardship, whether in demesne or in reversion, to the feoffees named above, except the said Ralph de Walsham, and Ralph attorned to them accordingly. Thus the earl had no estate in the stewardship at the time of his death.
From time immemorial the earl and his predecessors, stewards of the said liberty, have been wont to appoint under-stewards for life; and the under-steward so appointed shall receive 6s. 8d. of the abbot for every court of the liberty held within the abbey every three weeks. During the term of office of the under-steward, the chief steward shall take no profit; nor shall he intermeddle except to save his right to the office. But if a chief steward having an estate in fee in the office and having appointed no under-steward shall wish to exercise the office in person, he may do so, and then he shall receive from the abbot 13s. 4d. for every court held by him. All who have claimed the office by whatever title, except only him who holds it in fee, have been called under-stewards from time immemorial, and they have received under-stewards’ fees. Every steward or under-steward, before exercising his office, shall take an oath to the abbot to exercise it faithfully. Under-stewards appointed as above shall do all things pertaining to the stewardship by the name of steward, except that they shall receive less than the chief steward for holding the court of St. Edmund and for other fees. These customs have been observed from time immemorial.
As to other profits or fees the jurors know nothing at present.
The earl held the stewardship, not of the king, but of the abbot. By his grant Ralph de Walsham took the profits of the under-stewardship for 5 years and more down to the earl’s death, and still takes them.

Memorandum that the cause of the taking into the king’s hand of the castle and county of Kathirlagh and the earl’s lands &c. in the town of Rosse, the town of Hervyesylond and the barony there, and the barony of Olderosse, was that Margaret Mareschall, lady de Mauny, who held them of the king in chief, dwelt continually in England, so that no one came to Ireland to defend them (as above), and that the same Margaret by her attorneys intruded on the king’s possession and gave the premises without licence to the earl and Anne his wife and the heirs of the body of the latter.
The earl held of his own inheritance the town of Weyesford, 40s. 0 3/4d. rent of assise of free tenants in Fohord, a carucate of land in Balysampson, 8 carucates in Ballymore, 87a. land in Ballilawer, 7 carucates and 15 cottages in Ballymakarne, and 40s. 13 3/4d. rent of assise of free tenants in Fotherydd. These were taken into the king’s hand on the death of the earl by reason of the minority of his heir. The earl also had a royal liberty in the county of Weyesford.
