LEEDS. INTRODUCTION.

The first volume of these Court Rolls ended with the Court held on the Vigil of St. Matthew the Apostle, that is September 20th, 1297 ; the present volume ends with the corresponding Court in i3°9* There is, however, an unfortunate gap between 1298 and 1306, for which period the rolls are missing. . In 1309 a suit was adjourned because the rolls were wanting (ii, 194); and again at a later Court because the rolls had not been found (ii, 199). It appears from this that the missing rolls were lost or destroyed at an early date. As stated in the Introduction to vol. i (p. xvii), the Earl of Surrey had been appointed Keeper of Scotland in 1296. His services there are incidentally mentioned more than once in this volume. Thus, in 1298 a suit against Richard de Colley is adjourned until Richards return from Scotland (p. 27); in the same year John de Holne was sued for the value of a sheep carried off in Scotland in 1295-6 (p. 38). John de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, died on September 27th, i3°4* The year is given in the Complete Peerage as 1305, but this appears to be an error. On October 16th, 1304, the King gave leave to the executors of the Earl’s will to dispose of his lands in Norfolk for a term of ten years, notwithstanding certain defects in the will1; and on December 10th, 1304, mention is made of “John de Warenna, late Earl of Surrey.”2 These items seem conclusive as to the year. The inquisition taken after his death, if any, has not been preserved. This is most unfortunate, as we might have had some interesting details of the Yorkshire property. The Earl’s only son, William de Warenne, died in his father’s lifetime, on December 15th, 1285, having been killed in a tournament held at Croydon. John de Warenne, only son of the above William, therefore succeeded to the title and estates of his grandfather. He was born on June 29th, 1286,* and was therefore under age when his grandfather

1 Patent Roll. 2 Ibid. 3 Complete Peerage. VI WAKEFIELD COURT ROLLS. died. Here again the proof of age on his attaining twenty-one is most unfortunately not forthcoming. He was knighted on May 22nd, 1306, and from that year until 1335 he was almost constantly employed in public service of some sort. His services in the Scotch wars are incidentally mentioned several times in this volume. In 1311 the Earl had a grant of the Castle and Honour of the Peak, in Derbyshire, which has a remote local bearing. The family of Peck was for several centuries one of the most noted in Wakefield, and I think there is little doubt that the Peter del Peak, mentioned on p. 10, etc., is the ancestor of the Pecks, and that he was a Derbyshire man from the Peak. In the same way, Thomas de Dorking, p. 33, etc., must have come from the Earl’s Surrey manor, and Peter Llewelyn from one of the Welsh estates. Such migrations of individuals owing to feudal relationships are by no means uncommon, but it is not often that they can be traced so distinctly. Apart from these Court Rolls, there is but little to record of the manor of Wakefield during the period covered by this volume. The Patent Rolls throw no light, nor do the Close Rolls so far as they are printed; there is one more volume of the Close Rolls for the reign of Edward I yet to be issued. The indefatigable Watson prints a translation of a confirmation by Earl John to the Burgesses of Wakefield, of wdiich the following is a note1:— “ His temporal grants, which I have seen any account of, are, that he confirmed to the free-burgesses of Wakefield, and their heirs, their privileges, and granted them to be toll free in all his lands, for all wares, merchandise of their own manufacture, and that they should not be obliged to answer at any court but his, called Burman Court, in Wakefield, unless for trespasses against himself; and that whatsoever goods should be bought of any burgess for him, or his use, at certain rates, should be paid for within forty days; the pawnage for every hog to be twopence, and for a pig one penny. They were also to have commonage for all cattle but goats, in all his woods, moors, &c., except the new and old park, and the great meadow (only not in fawning time). They might likewise inclose, and hedge their corn ground, and fright away his deer from thence, without horn. Witnesses, John de Nevil, Hugh de Eland, William son of William, Roger son

Vll of Thomas, Peter son of Thomas, knights, John de Doncaster, John Curson, Peter de Stamford, Tho. de Heton, Adam de Pontefract. Dated at Coningsburgh, Oct. 5, 1 Edw. II.” Watson, contrary to his usual practice, gives no authority for this charter, nor any text save the above rather inept translation; it seems evident, therefore, that he had not seen the original document and had no copy of it. Nevertheless, there are internal indications that his note was taken from a genuine charter, and I see no reason why it should not be accepted as such.

We are now in a position to give some account of these Court Rolls generally, but I must preface my remarks with the statement that they do not profess to be a treatise on manorial courts at large; and, as I presume the bulk of my readers are not lawyers, I have endeavoured to keep as free from legal technicalities as possible.

THE COURT BARON AND CUSTOMARY COURT.

It is commonly said that a manor with freehold and copyhold tenants has two courts, the Court Baron and the Customary Court, the former for the freeholders and the latter for the copyholders. At a later date than that with which we are now dealing, the title or heading frequently runs “Court Baron and Customary Court of A. In these rolls we have no trace of any such arrangement, unless the plea of a free man, that he was not bound to answer at the Court held at Rastrick, is an indication that this was a Customary Court

(«> 7)- , . The principal Court was held at Wakefield every three weeks, “from three weeks to three weeks,” as it was often quaintly expressed but there was a certain amount of elasticity, and when a feast day or other cause made the normal day inconvenient, the interval might be shortened or lengthened. In addition to those at Wakefield, twice a year Courts were held at Kirkburton and Rastrick, and occasionally at Brighouse and Halifax; these were generally in May and October. The Steward was the presiding officer at these Courts, but in his absence the deputy-steward officiated. Apparently he had less power than the Steward, for matters were often adjourned until the Steward himself could be present. Vlll WAKEFIELD COURT ROLLS.

The business transacted was of a very miscellaneous nature, and may be divided roughly into three classes, (a) transactions relating to the holding and transfer of land, (b) litigation, and (c) manorial offences. Practice. The practice of the Court followed generally that of the King’s Courts. We do not hear of any writ, but there must have been a summons of some sort, and it was probably in writing. If the defendant did not appear he was first attached and then distrained, but certain excuses for non-appearance were allowed, such as sickness, being on the King’s service, or the bad state of the roads; these were called “essoigns.” An essoign could not be made after a default (i, 238), and was vitiated if the person essoigning was seen in Court (i, 254). If a plaintiff who had made essoign was afterwards seen in Court, he was liable to have -judgment given against him on the ground of non- prosecution (i, 206). An essoign from suit apparently was good for other matters at the same Court. A. sued B. for assault; B. had essoigned from suit, and the question arose whether that was a good essoign against A. or not. At the next Court it was ordered that B. should be summoned, which seems to answer the question in the affirmative (i, 156). The pleading, like that in the King’s Courts, was of a highly technical nature, and any departure from the proper form was fatal to either side. Several instances of this are worth noting. A defendant “denies everything against Richard de B. and his suit”; the plaintiff was not Richard de B., but Thomas his man, and judgment was given for him on this slip (i, 88). A plaintiff does not name the day nor the hour when certain goods were alleged to have been stolen : his claim failed accordingly (i, 104). A. charged B. with assault and carrying off his bow and arrows ; B. pleaded that he was not bound to answer, because he was charged with two offences, one of which might be true and the other false (ii, 15). When the defendant had appeared and had pleaded successfully, he could claim to have a jury or he could wage his law. The wager of law consisted in finding a certain number of persons, “compurgators,” who swore that they believed his statement to be true. In the King’s Courts the number of compurgators was invariably eleven, and this was called “waging his law twelve-handed,” the twelfth hand being the defendant’s own. In these rolls the number of compurgators is often less than twelve, but there does not seem to have been any uniform rule in this, respect; in Manorial Courts the six-handed wager seems to have been common, and probably in this INTRODUCTION. IX manor, where no number is mentioned, the wager was to be six¬ handed, that is, the defendant and five compurgators. A wager of law “with the third hand,” that is, with two compurgators, occurs in a plea of debt (i, 88); another (i, 199). A defendant asked for “a free law because he is free” (ii, 20); probably a wager of law with free men is meant. A wager of law by a woman with women was held bad (i, 194, 212). A withdrawal from a wager of law was an admission of the point as to which the law was waged; the defaulter also incurred a fine (i, 297). If the plaintiff abandoned his claim without license he incurred a fine; but a “license of concord,” as it was termed, was commonly asked for and obtained on payment of a small fee. The “love-day, which occurs so frequently, was an adjournment for the purpose of seeing if an agreement could be effected. Either party could demand a jury, and as a general rule a fee was paid by the person making the demand. The number of jurors as a rule was twelve, but there appears to have been an appeal in some cases from 12 jurors to 24, and from 24 to 48. The custom in this respect is shown by the report of a case at the Court held on Friday after the feast of St. Lucy the Virgin, 4 Edw. Ill (13 Dec., 1330), in which Walter Gunn sued Richard Bunny for land,.&c., in the graveship of Alvirthorpe, and claimed the benefit of a verdict of twelve jurors given at a previous Court. Richard Bunny defended, and said that he was not bound to answer, because at another Court it was found by an attaint (attincta) of twenty-four jurors on the said jury of twelve that the latter had made a false oath, and Richard was accordingly to recover seisin. He also said that it was not consonant with the law or the custom of the manor to make further inquisition in pleas of land than by an attaint of twenty-four, and he demanded judgment. Walter replied that with land held in bondage at the will of the lord, the lord of his special grace, notwithstanding the common law, can grant to such tenants at will an attaint on an attaint, to inquire more truly regarding the tenants’ right (attinctam super attinctam pro jure tenencium verius inquirendo), and thereupon he produced a certain close letter from Earl Warenne directed to Sir Simon de Baldrestoun, .Steward of his lands in the county of York, directing the Steward to summon before him forty-eight of those who best knew the truth of the matter, and put them on their oath concerning the right of the said Walter. By virtue of which command order was given for forty- X WAKEFIELD COURT ROLLS. eight men of the nearest graveships to come to the next Court to inquire as above. Where a plaintiff demanded a jury he was allowed to pay for it with a condition that if his claim failed the payment should be taken in lieu of any amercement (i, 174). In this case there were thirteen jurymen. An appeal from an attaint of twenty-four was decided by a jury of twenty-four, summoned from five graveships (ii, 100). The Earl’s men could only be sued in the Earl’s Court, and a plaintiff infringing this was fined (i, 86., etc.). It was also a serious manorial offence to sue in any other court for a matter within the jurisdiction of the Manor Court (i, 283). Chattering in court was punished by fine. On one occasion the Court at Burton was held in the church (i, 148; see post, p. xxv). The Borough or “ Burman ” Court claimed jurisdiction where the defendant was a burgess, or where the assault complained of was committed in the town (i, 262, 264). A plea of assault, apparently committed in the borough of Wakefield, was remitted to the Borough Court, as pertaining to the farmers of the ville (i, 178). A judgment of this court was pleaded in the Manor Court (i, 206).

THE COURT LEET OR TOURN. The Court Leet, unlike the Court Baron, is not an integral part of a manor, but a franchise which can only belong to a subject by direct grant from the Crown. No such grant is known in connection with the manor of Wakefield, but we must presume that it was included in the original grant of the manor to the Warennes, some time after the completion of the Domesday Survey (i, intro., pp. v, vi), and certainly prior to 1121. It was missing in 1280, for the Earl of that date was unable to produce it at the Quo warranto proceedings, and was forced to plead prescription (ibid., pp. xi-xv). As the manor had belonged to Edward the Confessor and was still in the possession of the Crown at the time of Domesday, it seems probable that the Leet jurisdiction had belonged to it from an early period. The Court Leet was a criminal court, and had an extensive jurisdiction in minor offences. It was held twice a year and no oftener by virtue of Magna Charta, c. 35, once after Easter and once after Michaelmas. INTRODUCTION. XI

As a general rule, one of the principal functions of the Leet was the View of Frank Pledge, and it is somewhat remarkable that in these rolls there is no reference to it. The Steward was the sole judge, and in matters within the jurisdiction of the Leet he had powers equal to those of the Justices of the Bench. The Tourns, as here recorded, do not seem to have kept very strictly to Leet business. We find matters adjourned from the Courts to the Tourns, and from the Tourns to the Courts, in a way that appears to be somewhat irregular. The criminal jurisdiction of the Tourn was not limited to tenants of the manor. Two strangers [extranet] were ordered to be attached for mutual bloodshed (i, 282). Though not so stated, it perhaps may be presumed that the assault was committed within the manor. A plaintiff was amerced for bringing an accusation of robbery, “which this court cannot judge” (i, 145). The accused was not a tenant of the manor, and this is probably the point intended; there are many cases of robbery dealt with without question, but these may have been all concerning tenants of the manor. In one case (i, 127, 130) at the Tourn at Wakefield there were two juries, one “from within,” and the other “from without.” There is no explanation that I can suggest, and it does not occur again. Slander cases are very numerous. Most of them are of a commonplace nature, such as calling a man a thief or a usurer, or a woman a harlot, or such like vulgar abuse. But a few are very curious and difficult to understand. For instance, A. says that B.’s father “was buried at Agbrigg ” (i, 164). Some insult is clearly lurking in the words, though we lack the clue. It has been suggested that as Agbrigg was the meeting-place of the Wapentake Court, malefactors may have been buried there in early times. The existing “ Gallows Hill,” nearer the town of Wakefield, may have been a later place of execution. In another case the slander consisted in calling the plaintiff “Robert the Brus” (ii, 71).

MANORIAL OFFICERS.

The Steward was the principal manorial officer, and presided over the Courts. There is considerable evidence that some of his work was done by deputy, for we find adjournments “ until the Steward comes.” These may, however, refer to the “Chief Steward,” capitalis sencschallus, who is only mentioned once. This was in 1307, when a Xll WAKEFIELD COURT ROLLS. matter was respited “till the coming of Sir John de Nevill, the Chief Steward” (ii, 68), the Steward at that time being William de Wakefield (ii, 61). Any disrespect shown to the Steward was promptly punished; thus “ contempt and despite shown to the Steward in open court ” were met by a fine of 6l 2>d. (i, 114; see also 108). The Serjeant. The Serjeant was appointed by the lord, and is frequently referred to as “the Earl’s Serjeant” (i, 112). He seems to have been next in importance to the Steward. There was a bailiff; also a foreign bailiff, who was concerned with matters that lay outside the manor (ii, 150). Receiver. There is an appointment of a receiver by the Earl (i, 126); he found pledges that he would faithfully answer for all receipts, payments and expenses, so that he was clearly the Earl’s treasurer. He is not mentioned again in that capacity. Collector for pannage. It is doubtful whether this was a permanent or temporary office (i, 92). It is not mentioned elsewhere. The Ale-tasters. These were probably appointed yearly, but are very seldom mentioned ; their duties were to look after the assize of ale (i, 129). They are sometimes called the ale-keepers (i, 189). There were other officers of the lord’s who are not specifically designated. One, for instance, whose duty it was to sell the right to pasture in the lord’s meadow after the hay was carried (i, 249). The Foresters. There were several foresters in connection with the lord’s forests; thus we have the foresters for Hipperholm and Shibden (i, 81). They were appointed by the lor 1, and they were sworn to keep the Earl’s forests and warrens and to present attachments (i, 81). A curious contest arose as to the respective duties of the forester and the grave with regard to a nest of young hawks. It was held that the forester was responsible in the first place, and that he ought to appoint some one to take charge of it, who then became responsible for its safe keeping, while the grave was to pay the costs out of the lord’s moneys. In this particular case the forester placed the grave in charge, the nest was stolen, and the grave was ordered to compensate the Earl for the value of the birds (i, 151). The Graves. There were ten of these subordinate officers (i, 309), one for each graveship. In several respects each grave seems to have acted as a sort of under-steward in respect of his graveship,1

1 In Inter times the graves took surrenders; sec post, p. xxiii. INTRODUCTION. X111 and he was a much more important officer than the prepositus of an ordinary manor. Wakefield, though in many respects treated as one manor, is much more like what in later times was called an Honour, that is, a collection of manors worked from a single centre. There are even some indications that the grave presided at the Graveship Courts in the absence of the Steward, for it is obvious that every Court must have had a president of some sort, and adjournments “ till the Steward comes ” are frequent. This is possibly the explana¬ tion of the plea of a defendant at a Court held at Rastrick, thaj: he was a free man and not bound to answer at that Court (ii, 7). The graves were chosen yearly, as a rule between Michaelmas and the end of the year; the elections, however, were not always entered in the earlier rolls. The grave was elected by the graveship, that is, by the copyhold tenants in the graveship, who were collectively responsible to the lord for him; he was sworn to his office (i, 253). Every tenant of villein or copyhold land was liable to serve the office in respect of his holding (ii, 81). At a later date we shall find that a rota was kept, and that the copyholders were strictly chosen in turn. It is probable that such an obviously convenient arrange¬ ment was also in use at the earlier period covered by these volumes, but there is no direct evidence of it. We find, however, that pay¬ ments “ not to be grave this year ” are not infrequent, which certainly suggests a rota. There is also the curious case (ii, 67) where A. sued B. for 4s. 2d. and 4J-. under two agreements made in 31 and 32 Edward I, to the effect that B. would be grave for the whole community of the whole graveship of C. It looks as though the agreements were bonds to ensure B.’s filling the office, and it suggests that he was taking it out of turn. If the person elected grave refused to act or to take the oath, he was liable to a considerable fine (i, 253). Certain perquisites seem to have been attached to the office. He was entitled to part of the estreat of attachments of wood (i, 233). The duties of the grave were multifarious, but are nowhere set out in detail; we can only ascertain them from scattered entries. He had to keep his graveship faithfully, and to make attachments and presentments (i, 114). The grave had to collect the lord’s rents in his graveship, and was apparently held personally responsible for any deficit; see the case of the Wakefield fulling mill (i, 252). XIV WAKEFIELD COURT ROLLS.

A grave told the steward that a bovate of land was left altogether waste on the lord, and it was thereupon granted to someone else; when it was subsequently found that the mother of the late tenant was entitled to dower, the grave was fined 12d. (i, 283). The grave had to attend the courts as representing his graveship (i, 88), and to summon jurors for inquisitions (i, 219); he seized land for rent in arrear (i, 250), and the forfeited chattels of fugitives (i, 85). On the retirement of the carpenter, he had to check the timber left in his graveship, and to make a tally of it (i, 114).

MANORIAL OFFENCES.

These were very numerous, and the bulk of them consisted in taking vert, dry wood, brushwood, ivy, ferns, rushes, broom, and the like, in the Earl’s land. Taking apples occurs sometimes (i, 308). Next, and still very numerous, are the cases of “escapes,” that is, where various animals, horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, and so on, had got into the Earl’s woods or crops and so done damage. With these may be placed the cases of breaking the pale, which would in most cases be done for the purpose of getting into the park or other inclosures, or for letting animals in. Poaching was a serious offence and fairly common, and to have one’s dog caught with a hare, or even in the woods at all (i, 3°8)> was to incur a considerable fine. Three men charged with a trespass in the forest, said that they sent their dogs to run in the common chase, and that one of the dogs ran into the Earl s liberty against their will, but did no harm; they were acquitted (i, 158). All tenants were bound to do suit to the lord s mill, that is, to have their corn ground there, and the failure to do so, withdrawing suit” as it was called, was punished by fine. Cases, i, 86, 107, 122, 128. Digging stone on copyholds without license was another offence (i, 268, 274). And under this heading must be reckoned coal, which in one case is called petrain ad ardendam (i, 268), and in other cases sea-coal, carbones maritimos, or carbones mans. A license to dig sea- coal was granted to Richard the Nailer (i, 96). Offences in connection with ways and watercourses, though perhaps not, strictly speaking, manorial, may be referred to here. They include the obstruction of highways, the diversion or obstruction of footpaths, the making of new footpaths, and the diversion or obstruction of watercourses. With these we may group the cases where the right of way existed only in the “ open time,” that is, after the hay or corn INTRODUCTION. XV was carried. We read of a road lawful for men in “ close time,” and for men and horses in “open time” (i, 247). The lord’s demesne meadow was exempt from the general rule as to pasturing in “open time” (i, 107).

THE FREEHOLD TENANTS AND THEIR LAND.

The services due from the freehold tenants were fealty, homage, suit of court, and reliefs, and, in some manors, rents of assize or quit- rents and heriots. Freehold quit-rents were very common on north country manors, and although they do not appear very prominently on these rolls, there are a few instances. A. held land of the manor and owed a rent, which was in arrear; his tenants in S. were apparently threatened with a distraint for their lord’s rent, and they paid 2s. to have the rent levied equally from all their lord’s tenants within the Earl’s fee (ii, 2). There is a good example of relief (i, t6i); the heir of a deceased free tenant appeared and proved his age; he paid nothing for a relief because his guardian had paid it immediately on his father’s death. The lord was entitled to hold the land until the heir came and paid his relief (ii, 122). The freehold tenants had to do suit at the Manor Court, and they were fined for default unless they had essoigned themselves by giving some reason for their absence which could be accepted by the Steward. A freeholder could appoint an attorney to do suit for him (i, 84, 91, 124, 147), and then the attorney was subject to the same necessity of doing suit or making essoign. Many freeholders paid a lump sum from time to time to be excused doing suit for a fixed period (i, 158). The King occasionally respited suit or authorised the appointment of an attorney; this was probably when the tenant was going abroad or otherwise employed on the King’s service (i, 158, 164). Where a tenant owing suit of court had made default, distress could be levied on the goods of his under-tenant within the manor (i, 89, 136, 141). In this case it seems probable that the actual suitor had no goods within the manor on which a levy could be made; the distress would no doubt be made on the land in respect of which the suit was due. The free tenants could only be sued in the Court Baron (to use a later term), that is, the court constituted with its proper ‘ homage ’ XVI WAKEFIELD COURT ROLLS. of other free tenants. These free suitors were the judges, and hence the doctrine is merely an application of the principle that every man must be tried by his peers. Thus, we find a man charged at the Court at Rastrick with wrongfully impounding sheep, pleading success¬ fully that he was a freeman and not obliged to answer at that Court. He was ordered to come to the next Court at Wakefield (ii, 7). Evidently this particular court at Rastrick was a Customary Court. But even the Court Baron had no jurisdiction to try a dispute as to a free tenement; the freeholder in such a case was not bound to answer except on the King’s writ, that is, in the King’s Courts (e.g. i, 157). This, however, was a personal privilege, which could be waived either actually or constructively. A defendant pleaded that he was not bound to answer for his free tenement except by the King’s writ. Ihe Steward held that as he had previously recovered the land in that Court, he had submitted to the jurisdiction, and was bound to answer. He refused, and left the Court; and thereupon the Steward heard the case in his absence (ii, 100). The freehold lands were transferred by grant or charter, which did not require to be enrolled. It is probable that, as in many other manors, a small fine had to be paid, but this is not quite clear. Many of the entries in this form—A. gives xd. for license to take y acres from B.—may relate to freeholds, but the surrenders of copyholds are also recorded in the same form in the earlier rolls, so that it is very difficult to distinguish them. (See i, 242, 260, 265.) A free tenant who had sold freehold land by charter, could be sued in the Manor Court on his covenant to warrant (i, 84). A free tenant could obtain the declaration of the Court as to the tenure of his holding; thus, we find a statement that A. holds freely a carucate of land in Wakefield, called Bothom (ii, 47)- The unusual term frank-farmer occurs only once (ii, 2); it seems to mean a freeholder who pays a free-rent. 1 he word farmer as a rule means one who pays a farm, and is rarely used except for a leasehold or other limited interest; but in this case the payment of a relief seems to imply a freehold interest. A. gave 4s., because she was a free woman, to hold her dower for life; nevertheless she had to find a pledge that she would not remove her chattels from the lord’s land (ii, 39). This probably refers to the distinction made in most manors between dower in freeholds and in copyholds. In the former, the dower was usually for life; in the latter it was purely a matter of INTRODUCTION. XVII custom, and where it attached at all, it was as a rule during widowhood or chastity only. Land might be specially placed under the lord’s protection (ii, 152); the case is very obscure, and I confess that I do not clearly understand it.

FREE MEN AND VILLEIN LAND.

One of the most difficult questions in the history of our manorial system is that concerning the holding of copyholds by free men, and freeholds by men of villein status. So far as the present volumes are concerned, it would seem that, as a general rule, both free men and villeins were confined to their own class of land. Thus, A., against whom certain land had been recovered, went to the Earl, and com¬ plained that the land was “native land,” and that the plaintiff was a free woman, and asked if the lord would allow his villein land to become hereditary in the hands of any free person. The lord thereupon caused A. to be re-seised of the land, because he was his “ native ” (ii, 81). After land had been unoccupied for a long time, A., a free man, came and took it in Court; after his death it again was left unoccupied, and was granted to B. It was then claimed by A.’s heir, but his claim was disallowed on the grounds that B. had entry through the Earl, and that the heir was a free man while the land was villein land (ii, 82). The decision in this case was probably based on the lord’s seizure and regrant. A widow claimed as dower one-third of an acre of land. The defendant pleaded that the plaintiff was a free woman, and not a native, and that she did not reside within the fee, and therefore she ought not to have dower. The plaintiff was fined for a false claim (i, 306). Here, again, two reasons are given why the claim should not succeed, and it is by no means easy to assess their respective values. There were, apparently, some special customs regulating a widow’s right to dower when she was not living within the manor (i, 242). It is presented that R. is a clerk and the Earl’s villein, inasmuch as his father was the Earl’s native, yet he holds himself for a free man because he took free land with his wife in marriage (i, 120). At the next Court he admitted that he was a villein by birth, and gave 13*. 4d. as a recognition, and submitted to be thenceforth in the yoke of villeinage, paying 12^. a year (i, 125). We are not told what would happen if the heir of this self-confessed villein inherited the b XV111 WAKEFIELD COURT ROLLS.

free land. On the other hand, there are several cases quite incon¬ sistent with those just cited. A person gave 2s. for license to take a bovate of villein land and 4 acres of free land from the same person (i, 265). Here is a clear sanction by the Court for the holding of free and villein land by the same person. He was presumably a free man, for the following entry seems to lay down the doctrine that free land made free men. It was presented that J. was the Earl’s villein, and yet held freehold land in S.; he was to answer how and wherefore he went out from villeinage into freedom (i, 116). No further details are recorded. And the following, though not so explicit, apparently turns on the same point:— It was presented that a villein had bought a messuage with buildings at Pontefract, a bovate of land with buildings at Barnsley, and y. yearly rent at Skelmanthorpe (i, 242). In another case A. B. gives 3s. for entry into a bovate of free land and 12d. for license to take 4J acres of native land; in each . case the previous tenant was A. B.’s father, who was still alive (i, 260).

THE VILLEIN TENANTS AND THEIR LAND. The ordinary services of a copyholder were fealty, suit of court, rents of assize, and heriots, all of which are found in the manor of Wakefield. In addition to these were the customary services which they owed for their lands ; these will be dealt with later on. The ordinary services mentioned above are all found in the manor of Wakefield, and present no special features. The copyholder could not do suit of court by an attorney, and the numerous fines for default or for not coming no doubt refer in many cases to suit of court. In most manors the copyholder could essoign as to suit, but there is no clear instance of this in these rolls, and it may be doubted if such a right was allowed by the custom of the manor. Rents of assize are usually stated to be paid in respect of the copyholds, but here we have a yearly payment to the lord which seems to be more in the nature of an acknowledgment of villein status by the individual (i, 116). This payment is also called “the lord’s aid” (ii, 81). The degree of personal un-freeclom attaching to villeins at this period no doubt varied much in different manors. The subject is too intricate to be discussed here, but I may point out the instances of personal restriction (as apart from tenure) that we find in these rolls. INTRODUCTION. XIX

The principal and most irksome of these was that a villein could not remove either himself or his chattels from the manor without license. On several occasions pledges were exacted that chattels should not be removed (i, 252, 257). If the villein went away and refused to return, any chattels left in the manor could be seized, and he was liable to be arrested if found anywhere within the Earl’s liberty (ii, 7). Similarly, a villein’s widow had to pay for license to remove (i, 256). Villeins were not allowed to live in boroughs, and we have an interesting case of a villein who is presented for being a merchant of the borough of Wakefield (i, i3tj I32)- A villein was not allowed to acquire land in another fee (i, 252), but he might have license to do so (i, 269). An outsider wishing to settle in the manor had to obtain a license and pay a fee, and he might have to find pledges (1, 236). A new man coming in paid 13*. to be under the protection of the Earl and bailiffs as to his land, and agreed to pay 6d. a year at the three terms usual in the Earl’s fee (i, 116). Another pays 12d. for license to enter the Earls fee (i, I91)* If. he came without license he was amerced (i, 212, 214; see also i, 203). . , The case was the same where the outsider was marrying a female native; he paid a fee to come with his goods and chattels on to the Earl’s land (ii, 192). Might a man voluntarily become a villein ? There is a case in 1286 which suggests this, but the proposition is full of difficulties. A B becomes the Earl’s villein, and gives 2r. for license to marry C., daughter of D. E., and take her land to themselves and their heirs (i 224). Apparently C. was the owner of copyhold land in her own right, and, as a native, she could not marry without the lord’s consent. The difficulty lies with the intended husband. If he was already a villein it must have been on some other manor, and he must have obtained a license to remove, of which we have several examples in these rolls. But he may have been a free man, for instances are known of free men reducing themselves to the villein status. The female villein was not allowed to marry without license; an infringement of this rule was punished by fine. The payment for such a license was called merchet, but the term is only once used in these rolls (i, 131), though the license to marry is common. The widow of a villein apparently required a license to marry only if she wished to remove from the manor. Thus, a widow pai XX WAKEFIELD COURT ROLLS.

3L 4d. to marry off the lord’s villein-land (ii, 168); another gave 4.J. for license to remove from the Earl’s land and to marry wherever she pleased (i, 256); a third gave 13.?. 4d. for license to marry, to with¬ draw from the Earl’s land, and to hold her dower so long as she did suit and service (ii, 49). The special privilege with regard to the dower probably accounts foi the large fine in the last case. An incoming widow paid only 2s. to have dower in her late husband’s lands, on her finding pledges that she would bring her chattels on to the land, and would not live elsewhere without the Steward’s license (i, 242). A villein was distrained for selling his pigs, which he ought to have agisted (i, 240). It is difficult to say whether this refers to tenure or to personal status. There is no “Custumal” of Wakefield Manor, that is, a code of customs, such as many manors possess; and so far as we have got, the rolls are very disappointing in their statements as to customs. The most remarkable custom is that relating to the legitimatio per subsequent viatrimomum (i, 212). This custom, as is well known, is the common law of Scotland at the present time. As to legitimation of children born after troth plight but before marriage, in 1411 there was still a doubt whether troth-plight were not sufficient to legitimise the offspring. In vol. vi of Papal Letters (Rolls Series), page 210, is the following:— 3 id. April, 1411. do the Archbishop of Canterbury. Mandate, if he find to be true the statement made in the recent petition of Philip de Seint Martyn, clerk, of the diocese of Coutances,—viz. that the late Simon de Seint Martyn and the late Gillota Malcovenant contracted espousals, followed by copulation, but that before they proceeded to the solemnization of the marriage before the Church and before Philip was born, Simon died, wherefore Philip, who on account of the wars in those parts cannot with safety go to the ordinary, doubts whether an impediment of illegitimacy may not in future be brought against him—and if he find that there was no canonical impediment existing between Simon and Gillota at the time of the said espousals and copulation, or making it impossible for the marriage, had Simon lived, to be solemnized before the Church, to declare Philip legitimate and to have been procreated in lawful marriage. In England the common lawyers appear to have rejected at an early date the rule of legitimation by subsequent marriage adopted by the Church, and this rejection was made definite by the Council INTRODUCTION. XXI of- Merton (1236). Notwithstanding this rejection, it would appear from the Wakefield case that the rule of the Church still prevailed in that manor in the year 1286. There is a very able article by Sir Dennis FitzPatrick, K.C.S.I., on Legitimation by Subsequent Marriage in the Journal of the Society of Comparative Legislation, New Series, No. xiii. Reference also may be made to Maitland s Canon Law in the Church of England, chapter ii; Godolphin’s Repertorium Canonicum (ed. 1680), chapter xxxv, “Of Bastards and Bastardy”; and the chapter on the same subject in Ayliffe’s Parergon Juris Canonici Anglicani. See also Pollock & Maitland s History of English Law, i, 167 and 187; and ii, Book 2, chapter vii, on “ Marriage.” Another custom of some rarity is that by which a father was heii to his son (i, 207). This did not become the general law of the land until the Wills Act of 1837. A “custom of ploughing,” a boon-work, was found by a jury in 1309; the jury found that a certain 12 acres owed 4d. a year for a whole plough and 2d. a year for half a plough (ii, 208). This is not very clear, but apparently it means that the custom of ploughing the lord’s land had already been commuted for the money payment mentioned. The copyhold tenants had to grind their corn at the lord’s mill; it was therefore an offence to use hand-mills (ii, 8). The villeins had to make the park pale (ii, 29). The tenants, or some of them, were bound to collect “ wood apples, poma bosci. These were real apples of some sort, perhaps crabs, for we are told that cyder was made from them (i, 252). A defaulter was fined 2s. (i, 258). Driving the Wanlass. This custom consisted in driving the deer for the lord to shoot, “ beating,” as we should call it now-a-days. An interesting point was raised (i, 177) as to whether this custom could be exacted when the Earl himself was not present. Unfortunately there is no decision on the subject. There are two other instances, ii, 114, 177. . The tenants were not allowed to dig stones (i, 274) or coal (1, 2 ). Swarms of bees belonged to the lord; if the tenant on whose land they were found wished to keep them, he had to pay their value to the lord (i, 293). The lord was able by custom to grant the waste lands 01 the manor as copyholds; there are many grants of this “new land,” as it was called. When essarted from the woods it was called “ rodelan (ii, 81). xxii WAKEFIELD COURT ROLLS.

The transfer of copyhold land is by surrender and admittance, that is, the tenant surrenders his holding to the lord, who admits the new tenant. As already stated, the earlier rolls do not record the transfer of copyholds in this form, and, with one exception, to be mentioned presently, it is not until we get nearly to the end of vol. ii that this becomes the common form of entry. I do not take this to mean that the form of transfer was in early times different from that of later times, but simply that the scribe who wrote the rolls deemed the simpler form of entry sufficient. The exception just referred to is in vol. i, p. 118. William son of Soignyf, being possessed of two bovates of land, had in open Court granted one to each of his sons; on the death of the father the sons pay relief, and the Steward grants seisin by the rod; the rod is described as being white at one end and black at the other, the white end being used for the lighter complexioned of the two brothers and the black end for the darker. The case is not very clear, but the action of the Steward and the use of the rod point to copyholds. However this may be, the fact of the rod being used at all seems to point to it as being the usual method for effectuating the surrender and admittance of copyholds. At a later date the tenants of copyhold land are sometimes referred to as “tenants by the rod.” A straw (attached to the writing of surrender) is now used in place of a rod, and surrenders may now be taken out of Court by any copyholder of the manor. The following is the formula:—

“You lift this surrender to me by this straw according to the custom of the manor of Wakefield for the purpose of passing (all your estate and interest in) the property comprised therein to the uses therein mentioned.”

By the custom of the manor, a woman is entitled to her dower or freebench out of all copyhold lands of which her husband may have been seized in fee during the coverture, and whether alienated or not by the husband during his life, except with his wife’s concurrence in the surrender, in which case the wife’s right to freebench would be barred. It is necessary, however, for the wife in such case to be solely and separately confessed and examined by the Steward, apart from her husband, touching her knowledge of the surrender and her consent thereto. This was not always the practice, as appears by a case at the Court held 25th January, 7 Edward III (1333), of which the following is a note :— INTRODUCTION. XX111

Alvirthorp.—Alice formerly wife of Roger le Bordewright demands against Thomas son of Laurence, land, &c., in Alvirthorpe. Thomas says she can claim nothing, for she joined with her husband in surrendering the same in Wakefield Court. And the question is tried by a jury, who say that Roger (the husband) and Alice surrendered the land into the hands of John Attebarre the grave in Court, and he surrendered it into the hands of the Steward. Questioned as to whether Alice was examined by the Steward, or if it is the custom of the manor that she ought to be examined, they say no. It is therefore considered that Thomas shall go quit. Alice is in meicy for her false claim. The custom, however, was quite clear, that a wife s dowei (or freebench) could only be barred by her concurrence in the surrender. The following is a note of a case on the subject at a Halmote held at Wakefield on Wednesday after the feast of St. Swithin, 3 Edw. Ill (1328):— Alvirthorpe.—Margery formerly wife of Robert Gerbrod demands her dower in 10 acres at Alvirthorpe, sold by her late husband to John Attebarre, who resold to Adam le Bordwriht. Twelve jurors from four townships say that the custom of the manor is that from the time when any tenant by the rod sells or alienates any of the land so held, he is not responsible for any dower in such land so alienated, and cannot be called to warranty for livery of dower. Adam was to deliver her dower, because he then held the 10 acres.

In volume ii we find the common form, though it is never set out at full length, as it was in later times; A. surrenders to the lord to the use of B., who is thereupon admitted by the Steward. Surrenders had to be made in Court; if made out of Court the surrenderor was fined (i, 279), or the land seized (ii, 188). In a plea of land the plaintiffs alleged that the defendant had no entry save by a simple bargain made with their father out of Court, and without the lord’s license, and that it was never surrendered in Court according to custom (ii, 100). Where a man had taken land out of Court the lord apparently claimed the crop, and the purchaser paid a fine for entry (1, 162); he subsequently redeemed the crop (i, 176)* It was declared that a gift of [copyhold] land out of Court was invalid (i 163), but a successful claimant on these grounds must make compensation for buildings erected and other expenses incurred by the purchaser out of Court (i, 164). XXIV WAKEFIELD COURT ROLLS.

Any attempt on the part of a copyholder to alienate his land by charter caused a forfeiture. We have several cases of this. In one case (i, 88) a tenant sold certain native land by charter, and because he could not warrant it as free, according to his charter, without license of the Court, he was in mercy; he paid a fine of 6^. $>d., and was to possess his native land, that is, his copyholds, in peace thenceforward, without challenge. Nothing was said about the land attempted to be conveyed, but the grant was clearly void. Another case (i, 129) is a presentment by the jury on suspicion only; the parties are to be distrained to answer the charge. Copyhold land might be voluntarily surrendered to the lord, and thereupon the liability of the tenant ceased in respect of it, and the lord could admit any one he pleased (i, 171). It was forfeited for non-payment of the customary rent, or for non-performance of the services (i, 109). This is the explanation of the numerous cases of land “left waste on the lord.” The other tenements of the same tenant were not affected (i, 275).

MISCELLANEOUS.

The following notes call attention to a variety of interesting entries which do not come under any of the foregoing headings. Animals. Using animals without leave of the owner seems to have been fairly common. A complainant in 1286 alleged that the defendant had used four of his oxen in the Earl’s hay wagon, and had also lent the plaintiff’s mare to a third person to fetch salt from Manchester (i, 231). The salt would no doubt be from the Cheshire salt district. Byrrelagh. A defendant charged with making an unlawful distress pleaded that he was distraining for a debt due to him by the judgment of the whole “Byrrelaghe” (ii, 48). At a Halmote held at Brighouse on Wednesday after the Epiphany, 4 Edw. Ill (1330), Thomas son of Julian was in mercy for quitting the Halmote in contempt of the lord, and an inquisition found that the same Thomas allowed his cattle to graze in the herbage of the Bivefeld contrary to the custom of Bivclcghc. The Birefelds were the town fields or common fields, and were styled the Bierdoll fields (with some varieties of spelling) at Wakefield, Dewsbury, Elland, and Bierley. In the early rolls of Dewsbury Rectory Manor are many pains or bye-laws as to the Bierdoll fields in that manor. INTRODUCTION. XXV

Cattle. A. took a heifer from B., and was to have the milk and the calf; he used her for ploughing. He was ordered to give her back to the owner, and was fined 6d. (ii, 7). The Earl’s cattle were all marked with his mark (i, 97), and we find from a later entry that this was done by branding (ii, 37). Church, Court held in (i, 148). The practice of using churches and churchyards for secular business must have been fairly common in the middle ages. Myrc’s Instructions for Parish Priests (Early English Text Soc., vol. xxxi, p. 11, line 338) refers to it: —

“Courte holdynge and suche maner chost,1 Out of seyntwary put thow most; For Cryst hym self techeth us That holy chyrche ys hys hows, That ys made for no thynge elles But for to praye in, as the boke telles; There the pepulle schale geder with inne To prayen and to wepen for here synne.”

The editor of that work, Mr. Edward Peacock, F.S.A., has an interest¬ ing note on the subject, from which I extract the following. Games and other secular business were forbidden in churchyards by the Synod of Exeter, 1287 (Wilkins, Concilia, ii, 140). The holding of fairs and markets in churchyards was made illegal by the Statute of Winchester, 1285, 13 Edward I, c. vi. The practice, however, of using churches and churchyards for secular purposes continued to be common. Edward I received the oaths of the competitors for the Crown of Scotland in Norham Church. In 1326 the tythe corn of Fenham, Fenwick and Beele was collected in the chapel at Fenham, and at about the same period, when the monks of Holy Island found their grange would hold no more, they converted the chapel attached to their mance into a temporary tythe barn (Raine’s North Durham, 82, 260). Law courts were held, books sold, and children taught in the porch of St. Peter’s, Sandwich (Boys, History of Sandwich, 365). A manor court, called Temple Court, was held in the church of St. Mary and St. John Baptist, Dunwich, annually on the feast of All Souls (Gardner, Dunwich, 54). Coal. It is interesting to note the use of coal in 1297, and, further, that it does not appear to have any distinctive name; it is simply “stone to burn.” The offender sold it (i, 268).

1 A.S. cedst, strife. XXVI WAKEFIELD COURT ROLLS.

Common Fields. A good example of the difficulties attending the common field system occurs in vol. i, 261. A. having two bovates lying in scattered strips, sold one to B. and the other to C. C. complained that B. had taken the best strips. B. replied that he took what A. pointed out to him. The jury found for the plaintiff. Courts. A very interesting case is that against the Prior of Lewes (ii, 157). The jury at the Tourn at Halifax presented that the Prior was holding Courts there, sentencing the Earl’s natives, appointing ale-tasters, and generally acting as though he were lord of the liberty. Crops. The heirs of a tenant claimed and recovered certain lands from the widow; on a dispute as to the right to the crops the jury found that the widow was entitled to the crop then on the land and to the next crop, on account of the benefit done to the land by the manure she had placed on it (i, 84). A general rule was laid down with regard to crops, that an unsuccessful defendant in a claim for land should have any crops where he himself had sown the land (i, 148). Game with Sto?ies (i, 134). There is a reference to a similar game in Myrc’s Instructions for Parish Priests (Early English Text Soc., vol. xxxi, p. 11, line 330). The author is enjoining the proper use of church and churchyard, and forbidding the playing of games there :

“Also wyth-ynne chyrche & seyntwary Do ry3t thus as I the say, Songe and cry and suche fare, For to stynte thow schalt not spare; Castynge of axtre & eke of ston, Sofere hem there to use non; Bal and bares and suche play, Out of chyrchesorde put a way.” • The game mentioned in the text was probably some form of “ Duck- stones ”; a large number of references to this widely-spread game, with some description of how it was played in various parts, will be found in Wright’s Dialect Dictionary, s.v. Duck. Iron works. A certain amount of iron smelting was going on as early as 1284; Adam “le Blomer” of Heckmondwyke cut wood in Dewsbury Wood (i, 191), and his wife complained of a theft “at the forge in the great wood of Wakefield” (i, 212).. Mills. There is an interesting note of the letting of Soyland and Warley mills in 1307; the tenant paid only 40s. rent, but he was to repair the mills thoroughly, they being in bad condition (ii, 124). INTRODUCTION. XXV11

A full account of the works at the mill and dam at Wakefield is given in 1308. The old mill was taken down and rebuilt, and the dam was remade (ii, 154). The keeper of the windmill was presented for dealing falsely with the stones in order to steal the flour of the customary tenants; as he lived out of the fee, nothing was done (i, 129). Oats. There is a curious case where the defendant is alleged to be bound in a certain quantity of oats and the profits thereof for ten years (i, 232). This is not very clear, but apparently the defendant had been set up with a stock of oats, which was to be repaid, with “interest” in kind, at the end of ten years. Oven. A license to build a common oven was granted in 1298 (ii, 53). There must, one would think, have been an oven prior to this date; perhaps the license was for a second one. Plebicite. With regard to the trespass of cattle in the common fields in close time, it would seem that the tenants had some power to assess damages without coming to the Court. This, at any rate, is the construction I place upon the curious entry respecting a sum of 5d. awarded per covwiunitatem plebiceti (i, 279). Pledges. If a horse was taken in pledge, the person taking it had no right to use it for his own purposes (i, 274). Where a person had no money to pay a fine and could not find anyone as pledge, he or she (it is generally she) was allowed to deposit some chattel as security. There are instances of tunics, smocks, and coverlets thus deposited, and in one or two cases mere promises are recorded. Ploughmg. A case occurs of using a mare as part of a plough- team (i, 297). Pontefract. The proximity of the Earl of Lincoln’s important fee at Pontefract was a source of constant trouble. It must have been a great temptation to the lawlessly inclined, to make a raid in the enemies’ territory and slip back over the border. The procedure in such cases probably varied with the state of local amenities at the moment. A bad feeling between the two Earls would account for a case like the following :— The jury found that A. drew blood from B., in consequence of which B. lost his arm. But B. belonged to the Earl of Lincoln s liberty, “therefore nothing is done” (ii, 45). At other times the respective Stewards seem to have been quite ready to help each other by arresting malefactors, or even by trying them. When the jury found that A. had stolen an ox ol the Countess of Lincoln’s, he was ordered to be arrested (ii, 53)- XXV111 WAKEFIELD COURT ROLLS.

A plea of trespass was adjourned until the Steward of Pontefract had been spoken with (i, 102). Where the Earl of Lincoln’s tenants had committed trespasses in the manor of Wakefield, an arrangement was made that they should be tried before the Steward of Pontefract (i, 104, 119). Tithe. The Vicar of Halifax tried to extort more tithes from his parishioners than he was entitled to. He could legally claim one calf in ten, and it appears that by custom one was payable if there were only seven calves. He claimed one out of six, and apparently (for the text is not very clear) one out of every six. The Rector did like¬ wise in the case of lambs, and the victims complained that they could get no remedy except through the Earl’s bailiffs (i, 173). Treasure trove. There is one case of this, but unfortunately no details are given (i, 131). War. There are several cases of persons charged with returning from the Scotch war without license (i, 253, 257). It is difficult to see what this had to do with the Court of the manor, but there it is. Words of Court, verba de curia or verba curie (i, 25 ; ii, 34). See Select Pleas in Manorial Courts (Selden Society, ii, 186, 187).

For the sake of saving space, a certain amount of compression has been used. All essoigns are from suit of Court, unless otherwise stated, and the fact that this is “for the first time,” or as the case may be, is omitted. In transfers of land, a surrender to A. B., unless qualified, means “ to A. B. and his heirs for ever.” In litigation, the commencement is always given, also essoigns; but mere records of default, where the case is not advanced, are mostly omitted. These are fairly numerous. The text has been prepared by Miss Stokes, and checked with the Rolls by myself. I have added a full Index of Subjects to both volumes. The thanks of the Society are again due to the Countess of Yarborough, the Lady of the Manor. As before, I have much pleasure in recording my obligation to Messrs. Stewart and Chalker, the Stewards of the Manor, to Mr. Gascoigne and Mr. Milner, and especially to Mr. S. J. Chadwick, F.S.A., for much kind assistance. W. PALEY BAILDON. Lincoln’s Inn. INTRODUCTION.

Notes and Observations of Antiquitie Concernynge the Vaccarie of Saltonstall in Sowerbyeshier.

[Copied from an old MS. on parchment (? temp. James I), at the Rolls Office, Wakefield.] Sowerbvshier was a severall Jurisdiction or Libertie within the Mannor of Wakefeilde, beinge in tymes paste accounted as a Forreste or Freechase; & replenished with deere ; yt conteyned in it all those Towneshippes & Hamlettes which nowe be within the Leete or Turne Holden at Halifax. There was a Castell at Sowerbye & Courts kept there, but it is thought that the eldest Rooles be all burnied. But since the tyme of Kinge Henrie the Sixte the Courtes holden for Sowerbye have bene holden at Sandall & Wakefeilde. This Sowerbieshier was parcell of the possessiones of the Earles of Warrenne & Surreye & there were diverse vaccaries therein, & namely these, Cromptonstall, Ferneside, Oversaltonstall, Nethersalton- stall, Hadershelfe, Baitinges & Mancanholes, all knOwne by meates & boundes, at the which Cattell were norished and bredd, as may appeare as well by diverse surveyes hadd & taken in the tyme of the Earle Warrenne, & these vaccaries were in demesne to the said Earles under this title. Tenementa que sunt in manu domini in dominico. Oversaltonstall.

It should seme that the first grauntes made by Copye of Salton- stall (which was in the latter end of the Reigne of Kinge Edward the Second as it should seeme) were made upon Divition of the whole into sex equall partes, & everye parte was called a sextondole of Saltonstall; & it seemeth by sundrie accountes that diverse of the surname of the Saltonstall were officers of the Earle Warrenne for Saltonstall, & to them was diverse partes thereof graunted.

Sandale.—Margery and Alice, daughters of Robert the Plogh- wricht of Ketelisthorpe, sue Master Robert de Ketelisthorpe for 7 acres of land, which their father sold and surrendered to him out of Court and without license; and 3^ acres of land which he received in like manner from Henry, their brother, then a minor. Deft, says that John, late Earl Warenne, freely enfeoffed him by his charter in 12 bovates of land (8 in Ketelisthorpe and 4 in the town of Sandale), for his life (he produces the charter in Court), and that the 7 acres are included in this grant; and he maintains he could receive the land out of Court and without license from anyone, because the Earl himself delivered it; he also says that when Henry sold him the 3^ acres he was of full age. An inquisition is taken by the oath of Elias de Wodethorpe, Robert the Clerk of Sandale, William de Abbathia, Peter the Shepherd, John s. of Ralph, Robert s. of Isolda, Adam Wylmot, Adam del Okes, Richard Beausire, Adam s. of Roger, Robert the Shepherd, Roger the Milner, Henry the servant \_gardd] of the Constable, Elias de Donecastre, John le Beste, Richard, heir of Danda [?; her’ Dande\ Swayn Scot, Henry s. of Roger, William s. of Robert, Robert de la Grene, Thomas de Dorkingge, William de Donecastre, Thomas s. of Bate, and John s. 73 WAKEFIELD COURT ROLLS. of Thomas, who confirm all the defendant’s statements. Plaintiffs fined 6d. for a false claim. The same Master Robert sues the said Margery and Alice for a bovate of land and 2 acres of meadow in the town of Sandale, as his right and inheritance, because John, his father, died seised thereof, and after his father’s death he himself held the same till the defendants ejected him under a false inquisition, held before John de Donecastre, the then Steward. The attaint is taken by the above 24 jurors, who say that, a long time ago, in the time of William, Earl Warenne, great-grandfather of the present Earl, 12 bovates of land were in the Earl’s hands by escheat, for want of an heir, 8 bovates were in Ketelisthorpe and 4 in Sandale; and the said Earl William gave them to one William de Ketelisthorpe for his service, to hold of him freely. And afterwards came one who was the right heir, and sued the said William [de Ketelisthorpe] for the 12 bovates before Martin de Padeshill, the King’s Justice in Eyre, at York; and William, understanding that he would lose the tenements, went to the Earl, who, by his counsel, made William confess before the said Justice that he was the Earl’s villein \villa?ius\ whereby the writ was quashed; and so the tenements from that time were held in servitude \devenerunt in servitutem], beginning from the time of Alexander Lucas, the Steward. And afterwards the said William [de Ketelisthorpe] died, leaving 2 sons, William and Robert; and William, the son, held the land as heir for a long time, and after¬ wards gave a bovate in Ketelisthorpe to Robert his brothei, to hold to him and his heirs of the said William, and also gave \accomodavit\ him a bovate of land and 2 acres of meadow in Sandale, to be held at will. William had a son and heir, John de Ketelisthorpe. And afterwards Robert died, leaving his son and heir, Robert le Plogwricht, then under age; and the said John, the son of William, had the guardianship of Robert, being his tenant; when Robert came of age, John de Ketelisthorpe delivered him the bovate granted to his father, but not the land and meadow in Sandal demised at will. John was succeeded by his son and heir, the plaintiff, and he and his father together held the said land in peace for 66 years and more, until Margery and Alice, in the time of John de Donecaster, then Steward, recovered the said land and meadow in Sandal by a false inquisition of 16 men, who said that the women had the better right to it, which was false, because the ancestors of the women held nothing except at the will of the ancestors of Master Robert. Robert is therefore to recover the said land and meadow, and pays 35 EDWARD I, I307. 79

He finds Peter de Acorn and John de Mora. Pledges for William the Clerk, John Kay and John Patrik. Alvirthorpe.—Lance the Clerk v. Robert s. of Richard Gerbot; he claims 6 acres of land as his inheritance, because Ellen, his mother, died seised thereof. Deft, says that Ellen held them for her life only, by the Earl’s grace, and that all right therein descended to him [Robert] after her death. An inquisition is taken by the oath of Robert s. of Simon, Henry del Bothem, Richard s. of Broun, Richard s. of Philip, Alexander Waltweu, William Hoskel, Richard Bunny, John de Flanshowe, Adam Wlf, John s. of Alan, William s. of Walter, and Philip le Syur, who say that one Gerard le Double, at that time the Earl’s chief Forester, bought the land of one Richard Lambot, the Earl’s villein [nativus], and afterwards gave it to Ellen, mother of the pit.; Ellen was afterwards married to Hugh the Tanner, and they had a son, the pit. Immediately afterwards Hugh sold the land to one Gerbot de Alvirthorpe; after Hugh’s death, Ellen recovered the land from Gerbot in Court, and afterwards demised it again to him for his life; Gerbot gave it to Richard, his son, and his heirs. After Gerbot’s death, Ellen recovered it again in Court from Richard; Richard then went to the Earl, and complained that Ellen had recovered that land from him, and said that she was a free woman, and this was villein land [terra nativa], and asked the lord if he would allow his villein land to become hereditary in the hands of any free person; the Earl caused Richard to be re-seised [fecit reseisire predictum Ricarditm\ of the land, because he was his villein \nativus\ Afterwards Ellen prayed the Earl, of his special grace, to return the land to her, because she was a poor woman, and he thereupon ordered that she should have it for her life. Richard entered after her death, and held it all his life; and after his decease, Robert his son entered, and now holds it. They say that the rent of the land is 2s., and that it is villein land, because it owes aid \auxilium\ to the lord like other villein land, and [the holder] has to be grave \? facere ppm.\ Asked if it is part of the villein bovates \J de bovatis (?) nativis\ they say it is not, but it is called rodeland, because it was cleared [assartata fuit\ from growing wood .... The matter is submitted to the Earl’s pleasure. Stanley.—Margaret da. of Thomas s. of Nalle gives 6d. to take a house containing 40 feet from Simon Tyting, for ever. Pledge, Robert Pescy.

They give 5^. for seisin and entry. Pledge, Robert Pescy. Alvirthorpe.—William s. of Robert s. of Simon sues Robert s. of Ralph de Uchethorpe, and William s. of Walter de Neuton, for 2 bovates of land in Neuton fields, as his right and inheritance; and he craves an inquisition, because he is the next heir. Defts. say that they took the land from the Earl because it had been lying unoccupied \vasta] for a long time. An inquisition is taken by the oath of Robert s. of Simon de Stanley, Richard s. of Broun, Alexander Waltweu, Henry del Bothem, Richard s. of Philip, William Hoskel, John de Flanshowe, Richard Bunny, Adam Wlf, John s. of Alan, Philip le Syur, and Adam Gerbot, who say that the land was unoccupied a long time for want of heirs; one Alan the Forester, a free-man, came and took it in Court; Alan had a son Robert and a daughter Edith. Alan died, and Beatrice, his widow, married one German de Wyrunthorpe, who took both the children and the land into his keeping; after a long time, he left one bovate unoccupied on the Earl’s hands, and the other he retained all his life; but after his death the other also lay unoccupied. One William Ferthyng afterwards took the first bovate to himself and his heirs; he was succeeded by Juliana, his daughter and heir, who gave the bovate to Robert [the deft.], who now holds it. The other bovate lay unoccupied for a long time, and the Steward for the time being compelled \coegit\ one Walter s. of German to take it, and he took it in open Court, to himself and his heirs. Walter gave half of it to Margaret, his daughter, on condition that she maintained him for the rest of his life, and left the other half to William, his son [the deft.], who now holds it. The said Robert s. of Alan afterwards claimed the 2 bovates from the said tenants [the defts.], as his right and inheritance, but lost his suit, because the tenants had entry through the Earl, and also because Robert was a freeman, whilst the land was villein land. Edith da. of the said Alan married one Robert s. of Simon, by whom she had a son, the pit. The land first lay waste before Alan the Forester bought it, about 40 years ago, in the time of John de Hille, the Steward; and the second time, after the death of German, was about 30 years ago. William, the pit., is the next heir of blood of Alan, the Forester, unless Robert, his son, is alive. William, the pit., is a freeman, as Robert was. The matter, therefore, lies at the Earl’s pleasure. 35 EDWARD I, 1307. 83

When Robert de Ketelesthorpe recovered divers tenements in Sandale and Ketelesthorpe against Alice and Margery, daughters of Robert the Ploghwrith, by an attaint taken by 24 jurors before William de Wakefeld, the then Steward, [reversing the verdict of] 12 jurors, taken before John de Danecastre, then and now Steward, the defendants informed the Earl that they suffered injury by being suddenly called upon to answer, without competent and reasonable summons, and also because the attaint was taken by men procured, such as tenants and servants of the said Robert, and tenants of the Parson of Sandale, who are strangers to the tenure of the Earl. The Earl, unwilling that they should suffer injury thereby, ordered John de Danecastre, the now Steward, to do them justice. Wherefore Alice and Margery attach their complaint again against Robert, and claim against him 7 acres of land as their inheritance, in which he had no entry save by a simple bargain [per simplicem convencionem\ with their father, made out of Court, and without the lord’s license, and never surrendered in Court, according to custom ; also 3^ acres sold to Robert by Henry, their brother, while under age; also a bovate of land and 2 acres of meadow in Sandale, of which Thomas, their uncle, died seised, without heirs of his body, whereby the right descended to Robert his brother, their father, and from him to them, as daughters and heirs. Robert produced a charter of Earl John, grandfather of the present Earl, and asked the Court whether he is bound to answer for his free tenement except by the King’s writ. The Steward replied that the same right by which he made Alice and Margery answer him in this Court, when he recovered the tenements, obliged him to answer them now in this Court. He wholly refused, and left the Court. In his default, the Steward took the inquisition from five Graveships, namely, William de Plegwik [?], Alexander del Wodethorpe, John s. of Swayn, Robert the Harpur, Adam le Wayte, Thomas s. of Roger, Robert s. of Adam del Neubigging, from the Graveship of Sandale; John Pollard, William Wyles, William Nelot and John Kyde, from the Graveship of Wakefeld; Adam Gerbot, Henry del Bothem, Richard de Collay, Robert de Flansowe and John Wythehundes, from the Graveship of Alverthorpe; Philip de Mora, Robert de Luppesheved, Thomas Pegere and John Malyn, from the Graveship of Thornes; Philip le Syur, Robert Pescy, Robert s. of Walter and Simon de Monte, from the Graveship of Stanley; who say that the 7 acres were never surrendered in Court by Robert, father of the appellants; that Henry, their brother, was under age when he sold the 3J acres to Robert; also that Thomas, their uncle, died seised of a bovate of I EDWARD II, 1307. IOI land in Ketelesthorpe, and of a bovate of land and 2 acres of meadow in Sandale; that his widow was dowered in ^ thereof, and held her dower peacefully as long as she remained in the Earl’s fee; that Thomas died without heirs of his body, and the right descended to his brother Robert, father of the appellants, who was then under age, and fell into the wardship \custodia\ of John de Ketelesthorpe, father of Robert, the present tenant, with § of the land, the other third accruing when the widow of Thomas married outside the Earl’s fee, and went away; when Robert was of age, John de Ketelesthorpe gave him the bovate in Ketelesthorpe, but unjustly retained the land and meadow in Sandale, and continued to do so all his life; after John’s death, Robert his son, the present tenant, continued to hold it, as before. And as Robert would not agree to this inquisition, the Earl is to be consulted as to what judgment shall be given; and in the meantime all the tenement, with the crops, is to be seised into the lord’s hand. All the Jury of the attaint are to be imprisoned for their false oath ; they are redeemed thence. The following do not come, and are fined:—William Hare, Peter the Shepherd, Robert s. of Isolda, Adam del Okys and Roger the Milner, 4d. each; Henry the servant \_garcio\ of the constable, and John le Best, 6d. each; Henry s. of Roger, Thomas de Dorkyng and Thomas s. of Bate, 4d. each. Wakefeld.—John Cussing complained to the Earl that whereas Gerard Cussing, his brother, surrendered to his use in Court 5^ acres of land in the fields of Wakefeld, to settle several debts owed by the said Gerard to divers persons, amounting to ^9 13s. 4d., one Roger Preist and Rose his wife came before Ralph de Foulden, then acting for the Steward, and claimed the land as Rose’s inheritance, and recovered it under an inquisition erroneous in several particulars; so that John lost the money he had bound himself to pay for the debts. The Earl therefore, both by letter and word of mouth, commanded the Steward to see that John recovered either the money or the land. And the parties now appearing before the Steward in full Court, John claims from Roger and Rose either the 13J. 4d., or the land. The defts. say that Gerard’s goods and chattels were enough to satisfy all his debts without the land.
