Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 8 1872 271 CHARTERS OF OUMBWELL PRIORY. (Continuedfrom Vol. VI. p. 250.) LITE. [Date, prob. circa 1180.'] EUSTACE DE MEREWORTE grants a rent-charge of five shillings in MEREWORTH, and another of twelve-pence, to the Abbey of Oufiibwell. The former is the grant ivhich the preceding Charter confirms, quod ego EUSTACHITTS concessi domui de Combwell et fratribus ibidem deo MAREWB v solidos et xii denarios aput clivum annuatim pro animabus solidos ad Pentecostem et EADWAROTS films KECH ad festura. Sancti Miehaelis ROBERTAS filius SEDEHEN patris et efc feminarum mearum et pro me ipso. .Ex his autem prefatis v solidis EGELHTS 1 At least as early as this, by evidence of the handwriting. I have placed this Charter after the preceding, though anterior in date, as being in its mutilated condition chiefly intelligible by the light of the earlier one. Very neatly half of the parchment is torn away and lost, the right hand portion, including fortunately just so much as to preserve the seal, being all that remains. We gather from the two Charters that Eustace de Mereworth had two sons, Stephen and Eobert, the former of whom, as the eldest, he calls in his own Charter his " heir," in spite of the maxim—" nemo est hasres viventis." But Stephen would appear to have predeceased his father, and Roger, the younger, to have been eventually the heir,. See also the Fine between this Boger and the Prior of Leeds in 1814, concerning the advowaon of Mereworth Church. Arch. Cant, vi. p. 880. The animal represented on the seal of Eustace is probably intended for the same as that on the seal of his son appended to Charter • LII. —apparently a mule. (<z) Gawt. (A) G-eat.
