Copy of a petition to the king from the said countess, reciting that Aymer de Valence, her late husband, lord of the manor of Westmelne, purchased from his tenant, Richard Thomelyn, all that Richard held of him in the said manor, together with the reversion of the lands held in dower by Richard’s mother, who attorned to him accordingly; that afterwards he gave the manor to Richard de Wynneferthing, clerk, to the intent that he should re-enfeoff him and the said countess thereof in tail, with remainder to John de Hastinges and his heirs, and the said Richard had the attornment of Richard Thomelyn’s mother; that afterwards the said Richard Wynneferthing granted the manor to the king for the performance of the will of the said Aymer, and Richard Thomelyn’s mother attorned to the king; that the king thereupon by his charter gave the manor to the countess for life, with remainder to Laurence de Hastinges, but in the said charter no mention was made of the dower of Richard Thomelyn’s mother; that meanwhile Richard Thomelyn maintained himself in the tenements he had given to the said Aymer, and sold them, together with the reversion of his mother’s dower, to John de Beltone, to whom his mother attorned; and that after the death of Richard’s said mother the said John entered thereon and stili detains the same, and the countess cannot recover the dower because of the omission in the above charter: and praying the king to order that an inquisition be made by his escheators, and that, if the facts be found to be as above, the dower be seized and a return made into the Chancery, and also to grant by charter to her and Laurence de Hastinges an estate in the said dower, so that the will of the said Aymer may be performed. French.
Memorandum that the manor of Anesti with the fees and church, the manor of Messedenn with the church, and the manor of Little Hormade with the church were purchased by Sir Aymer (Emard) de Valence, earl of Pembrok, from the lady Joan de Veer, his cousin germane, who was daughter of the lady Denise de Montchanisi, who had part of the said lands as an inheritance from her father; that afterwards the said earl purchased the lands of several persons in Westmelle, 2 miles from Pocriche, with the church; that about 16 Edward II the earl gave all the said manors &c. to Sir Richard Wynneferthing, his chaplain, trusting in him (de qui il saffia) to re-enfeoff thereof himself and Mary de Saint Pol, countess of Pembrok, his wife, and the heirs of their bodies, and others not named; that no fine was made thereof in the earl’s lifetime, wherefor the king’s escheators entered on the said lands after his death; that the said Sir Richard thereupon sued for their return and for licence to alienate them, and it was agreed that he should give them to the king, who in turn gave them [to the countess] by his charter, so that she has a life estate in them. If the right of inheritance belongs to the king, she prays that the present value of the said manors of Westmelle, Messedenn and Hormade may be ascertained, and that she may be allowed to pay (faire gre) for the said inheritance and have licence to employ the manors in the service of Our Lord in prayers for the soul of the earl and the good estate of the king, of other lords and ladies her friends, and of herself.
The manor and lordship of Bywelle, co. Northumberland, used to be worth more than 80l. a year. Sir Ralph de Neuville is impleading the countess of waste against reason and good faith, so as to make her lose at least half. So she would be willing to hand over to the king her life estate therein in exchange for the reversion of Westmelle, Messedenn and Little Hormade. French.
Draft writ to the escheator in co. Hertford to deliver the manors of West-melne, Little Hormade and Mesden to the abbot and monks of the abbey of St. Mary Graces by the Tower of London, 12 May, [51 Edward III]. [Calendar of Close Rolls, 1374–1377, p. 502.]
