Details of SC 8/193/9645
Reference: SC 8/193/9645
Description:
Petitioners: Cecily Gerberge and Geoffrey de la Mare, her son.
Name(s): Gerberge; Mare, Cecily; Geoffrey
Addressees: King.
Nature of request: The petition states that Ralph and Joan de Croumbewell, John and Mabel de Folvill, and Hugh and Maud de Crescy brought an assize of novel disseisin against Cecily Gerberge and others concerning lands in Lincolnshire which formerly belonged to Geoffrey de la Mare, father of Joan, Mabel and Maud, although they have no right, as Maud is a bastard and Geoffrey had a son, Geoffrey, by Cecily, who was under age at the time of his death; and because he was under age, and the lands held of the Abbot of Peterborough, the Abbot had wardship of him and his lands, and assigned Thurlby to Cecily in dower. But mention of Geoffrey has deliberately been omitted in the writ for the assize, to bar him from his right; and the plaintiffs have also procured that the writ might be arrayed by the Sheriff of Lincolnshire, although the manor is within the liberty of the Abbot of Peterborough, and the Sheriff had orders from the King to leave the matter to his bailiffs; and they have also procured a jury that is biased and not local. It requests a writ to the justices not to hold an assize arrayed by the Sheriff in this way, but to have it arrayed by the Abbot's bailiffs as the King has commanded.
Nature of endorsement: [None]
Places mentioned: Baston, Lincolnshire; Bourne, Lincolnshire; Peterborough, [Northamptonshire]; Thurlby, [Lincolnshire].
