Details of SC 8/2/85
Reference: SC 8/2/85
Description:
Petitioners: Robert de Walkefare.
Name(s): de Walkefare, Robert
Addressees: King and council.
Nature of request: Walkefare requests remedy for he holds the manor of Isleham which had view of Frankpledge from time out of memory until the king's bailiff of the hundred of Staploe usurped the view, and enticed the people to the Hundred Court when they should have come to the view.
Nature of endorsement: Walkefare is to declare at what time he or his ancestors were previously seised of the view, and by whom, and in which king's reign they were ousted, and how, and in what manner.
Places mentioned: Isleham, [Cambridgeshire]; Staploe hundred, [Cambridgeshire].
People mentioned: Bailiff of the Hundred of Staploe.
Note: The petition is dated to c. 1330, based on the dating from the guard. The petition is likely to be late 1320s. Walkefare was one of the rebels whose estates were seized in the aftermath of Thomas de Lancaster's revolt, and parts of Isleham were in the king's hands subsequently and were granted away. Walkefare was back in possession by 1330, as is shown by a licence to enclose some land in Isleham granted to him on 5 December 1300 (CPR 1330-4 p.21). The endorsement to this petition suggests that the more detailed SC 8/150/7481 may well be a follow-up petition clarifying his request.
Date: [c. 1330]
