Details of SC 8/204/10197
Reference: SC 8/204/10197
Description:
Petitioners: Joan le Foun, widow of Richard le Foun.
Name(s): Foun, Joan
Addressees: King and council.
Nature of request: Foun requests remedy as her first husband enfeoffed Bradbourne with the manor of Callow and Idridgehay mill and he granted it to her when she was Launde's wife. She continued to be seised by this feoffment for twenty years or more until after the death of her second husband when Beler took the manor and mill into the king's hand because her second husband had been the steward of the earl of Lancaster in his honour of Leicester for which reason he had been taken at Bradbourne to Caverswall Castle where he died.1)
Nature of endorsement: Let good people be assigned to enquire of the truth in the presence of Roger Beler, and let the inquisition be returned into Chancery, and let justice be done.2) Coram rege, Fulbourn.
Places mentioned: Callow, Derbyshire; Idridgehay, Derbyshire; Bradbourne, [Derbyshire]; Caverswall, [Staffordshire]; Leicester honour.
People mentioned: Richard le Foun, late second husband of the petitioner; John de la Launde, late first husband of the petitioner; John [de la Launde], son of John de la Launde; Henry de Bradebourne (Bradbourne); [Thomas of Lancaster], Earl of Lancaster; Roger Beler.
Note: The petition dates to 1322 as the associated documents all date to May and August 1322, so that the petition must predate these, but postdate the fall of the earl of Lancaster (SC 8/203/10198-9) and the keeper of Richard le Foun's lands was ordered to restore them to the petitioner on 8 August 1322 (CCR 1318-23, p.589).
Date: [1322]
