No little confusion has in the past been caused by the use of an incorrect term to the class of documents here printed, for although it was usual to direct the writs to the County Escheator, it is none the less misleading to describe these Inquisitions as "Escheats," since that name has been reserved for the Escheator's accounts of lands and property escheated to the Crown, with the profits and value of the same at different periods.

Inquisitiones post mortem were not concerned with property held otherwise than " in chief " by tenants fn capite, whose death necessitated such inquiry in order to ascertain the feudal rights which accrued to the Crown — a practice which continued until the abolition of the service of knight serjeantry in 1645, although it was not formally abolished until the accession of Charles the Second in 1660. It is unnecessary to enter into the details of feudal exactions levied by the Crown in former days, but an interesting " incident " of the service may be referred to. When the heir-at-law was a minor he became a ward of the Crown, and this was turned into a source of considerable profit, inasmuch as it first included the right not only to receive the rents and profits of the property during the ward's minority, but also to find a wife for the youthful heir. Nor did the privilege end there, for on attaining his majority the heir became the subject of further feudal exactions, being obliged, on suing out his ousterlemain {i.e., delivery to him by the Crown of the lands for which he was in ward) to make certain payments, and to bring forward strict proof that he had attained his full age of twenty-one years. Some few of the Inquisitions, known as " proofs of age " will be found in this volume, and they are very interesting documents on account of the evidence brought forward by witnesses to show how they knew that the heir had attained his majority. Amongst the Inquisitiones post mortem are also some taken virtute officii, others ad quod damnum, besides those dealing with the property of felons. Instances of Inquisitions relating to lunatics and idiots do not, however, occur in these pages.

VI PREFACE.

The proceedings which followed upon the death of a tenant in chief were commenced by the issuing of a writ, styled the writ of diem clausit extremum, a mediaeval synonym for obiit, directed from the Court of Chancery to the escheator or feodary of the county in which the deceased was presumed to have possessed lands. It commanded him to summon a jury for the purpose of conducting an inquiry into the following matters : —

i . Of what lands did the deceased die possessed ?

2. Of whom, and by what rents or services, were the same

held?

3. What was the date of his death ?

4. His next heir-at-law, and of what age ?

5. Whether an alien, or attainted of treason ?

The escheator or feodary, following the directions contained in the writ, then summoned a jury, who in accordance with the revealed evidence gave their verdict upon oath ; and after the return had been engrossed upon parchment, it was in due course delivered into the Court of Chancery and there filed. Owing to the nature of the inquest it was frequently necessary to inquire into family settlements and trusts ; consequently when deeds and wills are introduced they are recited very fully, thus affording valuable information to the genealogist.

Into the Exchequer the Chancery officials subsequently forwarded a copy of the Inquisition so that the officers there might collect the feudal dues. If it was discovered that the jury had made an inaccurate return, a further writ, known as the writ ad melius in- quirendum, was directed to the escheator or his substitute, requiring him to hold a second inquest to ascertain omitted facts, and cases even are known in which this process had to be repeated a third or fourth time. But in the reign of Henry VIII, on account of alleged extortions by Crown officials, and the practice more especially of compelling landowners who were not tenants in capite to sue out their ousterlemains, a new Court, known as that of Wards and Liveries, was created for the purpose of attending to matters connected with these Inquisitions — to which Court also were transcripts of the Inquisitiones post mortem sent. Until the thirty-fifth of Henry VIII, therefore, two sets of Inquisitions exist, the original returns being known as the " Chancery Series," and the transcripts as " Exchequer Series " ; and subsequent to that date may be added a third, the " Wards and Liveries Series."

PREFACE.

VII

It is not to be denied that many of our English counties are fortunately circumstanced with respect to the publication of their important records. That Gloucestershire is one of these, a glance at the new list of publications of the British Record Society wilt show. All the Inquisitiones post mortem for the reign of Charles I have been printed,* and now it is the turn of the earliest series of all, commencing with the twentieth year of Henry III [1236]. Had the expedient been adopted of giving mere selections the work would have surely failed, but a course far wiser than this has been followed throughout : abstracts have ever been full, and periods complete : so that its success has been most marked. How complete the records are may be judged from the fact that Inquisitions for Gloucestershire to the number of four-score are printed for the reign of Henry III alone; and as regards the thoroughness of the work, this will be readily admitted from a perusal of the examples given in these pages.

The present volume, the fourth of a series, consists of such Plantagenet Inquisitions as relate to the City and County of Gloucester. They are the earliest examples now existing, and illustrate clearly the importance of these Records to the genealogist, the historian, and topographer. Commencing with the Inquisition of William Avenel, the writ for which was issued at Westminster on May 5th, 1236, this volume contains complete abstracts for the last thirty-six years of the reign of Henry III and for the greater part of the reign of his successor " the English- Justinian," the total number of Inquisitions being as under : —

Vlll PREFACE.

1236 to 1300, and it may be mentioned that arrangements have been completed whereby a considerable portion of the Inquisitions for the reigns of Edward II and Edward III will appear in the *' Index Library " during 1904 and 1905, and the usual thorough Indexes Nominum et Locorum will be published as soon as the last Inquisitions of this period issue from the press. This is believed to be the better course to follow, since it has the advan- tage not only of hastening forward the completion of work now well in hand — thus preventing the annoyance of a prolonged pause (due both to preparation and to publication of the periodic Index) — but also of avoiding an undue multiplicity of indexes.

The abstracts of Inquisitiones post mortem here printed are taken from the Chancery Series for the reigns of Henry III and Edward I, preserved at the Public Record Office ; and since the original documents are in Latin, and their decipherment, on account of age and condition, at- times a source of perplexity, even to the practised eye of the expert, the great advantage of these readable English abstracts will be readily allowed no less by the critic than the student. For they supply in each case the whole of the information contained in the originals, and for all practical purposes may therefore be considered as the Inquisitions them- selves, shorn of their provoking verbiage. They have the advantage, moreover, of having been collated/whenever necessary, with the transcripts returned either into the Court of Exchequer or the Court of Wards and Liveries. For this much praise is due to Miss Walford, upon the accuracy of whose work every reliance may be placed.

The said Walter held of the King in chief i messuage, 6s. of yearly rent, and 12 acres of land in the vill of St. Bravello, by the service of finding one servant on foot in the said forest for the custody thereof; also 12 acres of land in Caldewelle, paying therefor yearly to the castle of St. Bravello 4J. ; the said acres are worth per annum 12s. ; and the said messuage with the said 12 acres of land in St. Bravello is worth per annum, clear, 12s. ; also 12 acres of land in Huwaldrefeld of the Abbot of Tinterne by the service of id. by the year — they are worth per annum, clear, 12s. ; also at Lydeneye 1 messuage, £ a virgate of land, and \ a mark of yearly rent ; the said messuage and land are worth per annum 6s. ; and he held those tenements in Lydeneye of the Prior of Lyra, paying therefor by the year 1 2d.

They say also that on the said Sunday the said Walter, lying on his bed of sickness in that state, made a certain feoffment to William, second (postnato) son of the said William Buter, of his said lands and tenements in Lydeneye and Caldewell. And the jurors being asked what seisin the said William had of the said lands and tenements before the death of the said Walter say that he had no seisin of the lands of Caldewall before the death of the said Walter; but after his death the friends of the said William, who is a boy and under age, put themselves into seisin of the said lands in the name of the said boy, and still use the same seisin.

Witnesses called to prove the lawful age of Fulk son of Warin, before the Council of the King at Westminster on Thursday next after the feast of St. Mark the Evangelist, 1 Edw. I [1273.]

Nicholas de Hanrede* being sworn, says that he knows for certain that Fulk son of Warin, who now prays (seeks) for his inheritance, will be 22 years old on the day of the Exaltation of Holy Cross next coming, because in the 34th year of the reign of King Henry III he Was sheriff of Berks, and on the Wednesda> next after the said feast he was at Wanetinge in the house of Fulk, father of the said Fulk, where the report came to him that his wife had borne him a son, and the said Fulk must be that son because he knows of no other.

Geoffrey de Wauncy* is certain that the said Fulk will be 22 years old on the said feast, and this he knows by the common report of the country and by knights and other trustworthy people, and it was also told him by Geoffrey de Wauncy, his father, who, in the feast of St. Michael next after the said feast upon which the said Fulk was born, took a farm at Wanetinge for the term of 22 years, which said term will expire on the feast of St. Michael next coming.

Robert de Whytefeud* says that he believes the said Fulk to be about 22 years old because, 22 years ago, he was in the house of Ralph le Botiller at Wemmes, where a great number of knights and dames were invited, and it was then said that the mother of the said Fulk was not there because she was pregnant, but he does not know whether it was this child or another.

Peter de Grave says he knows the age of the said Fulk because

* Knight written in the margin opposite each paragraph.

there was a disagreement between himself and Fulk, father of the said Fulk, which was settled at Wanetinge, and then came the report there of the birth of the said Fulk. He adds that his father and other friends were much congratulated because he had a son, and that all his other children were girls.

Peter de Offinton knows the age of. the said Fulk by the death of his mother, who died then, and he then at Wanetinge asked for those things which were necessary for his mother's funeral, and then there came the report that a son had been born to Fulk, father of said Fulk, at Whytinton, who ought to be his heir.

William le Clothmongere says he knows the age of said Fulk because he was married on the feast of the Translation of St. Thomas the Martyr 20 years ago, at which time the said Fulk was 2 years ago except the term between the said feasts.

Walter le Waleys says that he took his land of Henneye about the quindene of Easter 22 years ago, and the said Fulk was born at Whytinton on the feast of the Exaltation of Holy Cross last preceding. Witness was at the fairs at Waneting on the feast of St. Faith next after the said feast when Simon le Clerk told him of the birth of the said Fulk.

Richard de Pavelly says that he came back from the Holy Land 8 days before the feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Mary, now 22 years ago, when a year before Louis, King of the French, was taken by the enemies of the Cross of Christ at Damieta in the Holy Land ; and after his coming into England, in the feast of the Exaltation of Holy Cross, viz., within a quindene after his arrival, he was at Wanetinge, where he heard of the birth of [the] said Fulk. Emma his mother died on the feast of St. Andrew next following the said feast.

John de Budyford says that Margery his mother died on the feast of the Translation of St. Thomas the Martyr 22 years ago. On the feast of the Exaltation of Holy Cross next following he was at Bristol, where he heard the report of the birth of the said Fulk at Whytinton. At that time he lived at Bristol, and Jordan de Budeford his father had the manor of Hauekesbir' next to the manor of the said Fulk's father of Aleweston, and the said Jordan was the counsellor (consiliarius) of the father of said Fulk.

Bartholomew de Erleye says that Giles de Erleye his father died in the feast of Easter 21 years ago, and on the said feast of the Exaltation of Holy Cross last preceding he was with his said father at Erleye, where they heard of the birth of the said Fulk.

Henry de Gopshull says that Sarra de Grave his grandmother died

Ingjiisitiones Post Mortem. 77

on the feast of St. Faith now 22 years ago, and he took the in- heritance of the said Sarra. On the Wednesday next before the said feast of the Exaltation of Holy Cross he was at Wanetinge, when news of the birth of the said Fulk was brought to him by William Pymor, messenger of the father of the said Fulk.

Walter, son of Henry le Clerc, of Waneting, says that the right heir of Fulk son of Warin is dead. Witness adds that at that time he was with William, Earl of Ferrers, out of whose household he took a wife, by whom he had a daughter, who was born 3 days before the feast of the Exaltation of Holy Cross now 22 years ago, upon which feast the said Fulk was born at Whitinton, as William Pymor told him at Wanetinge.

Ralph de Sandwyco in propria persona went to the wood of the Abbot of St. Peter of Gloucester of Hope Moloysel and learnt from the foresters and verderers and other lawful men of those parts, and by his own view, that it would not be to the damage or hurt of the King, or of his Forest of Dene, or of the men of those parts, if the King should grant to the Abbot of Gloucester to cut down that wood in 4 years by quarters and to take his profit thereof, because that wood is old underwood and thick, and less fit for the beasts to feed in than the wood which would grow anew, and that as well wolves, as injurers of the venison, frequently return for the venison and stay in the said wood on account of the thickness thereof, so nevertheless that each quarter shall be enclosed with a low hedge {bassahaye) for 3 years, so that our beasts may go in and out, so that if the cattle of the men of those parts should enter that wood for default of enclosure they shall not be impounded on this account.

At the time when Thomas de Clare was keeper of the said Forest of Dene there came William de Abbenhale, Walter Page, and Elys Page, miners, and first when digging in the land of the Abbot of Flaxley at Ardlonde they found metal there. And the said Abbot, hearing of this, immediately removed the said miners and filled up the ditch of the said mine with stones and earth, so that before the said Abbot did this Jordan la Ware, constable of the said Thomas, came and took 4*/. only of the issues of the said mine. The said Jordan, by a writ of the King obtained by the said Abbot, caused an inquiry to be made whether the said mine belonged to the King or not, and by the said inquisition he learnt that it did not belong to the said King, but to the said Abbot and convent of Flaxleie, and then the miners ceased to work there until the coming of Grimbald Pauncefot, keeper of the said forest, who again began to work there with certain of his miners, the said Abbot being unwilling. And he took of the issues in his time for his own

It is not to the damage of the King or others, but rather to the advantage of the King, because at the time of the vacation of the Abbey of Wynth' the King will have the custody of that land, which formerly he had not. The messuage and land are held of the said Abbot of Wynch' and of no other by the service of 2s., so that in all issues beyond the said rent they are estimated to be of the value of <ys. id. by the year, and the lands and tenements which remain to the said John suffice to do the customs and ser- vices due as well for the aforesaid messuage and lands given as for other tenements retained by him, and for all other charges which they sustained and were wont to sustain, as in suits, to wit, views

It is not to the damage of the King or others if the King grants to the said Abbot de la Bruere that he may give i messuage, 1 carucate of land, and 10 acres of wood in Cornden to the Abbot and Convent of Wynchecumb and his successors for ever, but it will be to the advantage of the King, for that when a translation is made from mortmain to mortmain the King will have the custody of the said premises as often as the said Abbey of Wynchecombe shall happen to be vacant, whereas before he did not have it. The said premises are held of Sir John de Suthleye by the service of the yearly rent of 1 pair of boots and 1 monk's girdle with a knife hanging therefrom and one needle with a point {uno agulari cu* acu), from whom the said Abbot de Bruere has full licence to transfer and assign the said premises to the said Abbot and Con- vent of Wynchecumb, and they are worth per annum, clear, 19s. 4d., because it is heath which is called wood.
