Details of SC 8/145/7245
Reference: SC 8/145/7245
Description:
Petitioners: Aymer de Valence and William le Waleys, his tenant of the manor of Woolstrop.
Name(s): de Valence; Waleys, Aymer; William
Addressees: King and council.
Nature of request: Aymer de Valence and William le Waleys state that Robert de Pountdelarge used to hold the manor of Woolstrop, paying 10s annually to the manor of Barton, and suit of court there, and that after his death it came into the hand of Henry III, in whose seisin all services were ended. Henry enfeoffed William de Valence, Aymer's father, with the manor, together with the other lands belonging to Robert de Pountdelarge, to be held for no services, and William then enfeoffed William de Pountedelarge, whose heir William le Waleys is. The King's bailiffs of Barton are now distraining for the 10s and suit of court, contrary to William de Valence's charter of feoffment, and they request a remedy.
Nature of endorsement: They are to show King's Henry's charter to William de Valence for the aforesaid lands, and the charter by which the ancestors of William le Waleys were enfeoffed, as is claimed. And in the meantime the rolls and memoranda both of the Exchequer and of Chancery are to be examined for the King's right, and Queen Margaret's bailiffs of Barton are to be ordered to appear before the lieutenant of the Treasurer and the Barons of the Exchequer at the quinzaine of Michaelmas, to inform the court about the contents of the petition.
Places mentioned: Woolstrop, Gloucestershire; Barton, [Gloucestershire].
People mentioned: Robert de Pountdelarge (Pontlarge); Henry [III], King of England; William de Valence; William de Pountedelarge (Pontlarge); Margaret [of France], Queen of England.
