PREFACE
The present volume contains all the inquisitions post mortem,
proofs of age and assignments of dower, relating to Yorkshire, for the
reigns of Henry IV and Henry V, that are contained in the Chancery
series. That series formerly included also the inquisitions ad quod
damnum, which have now been made into a separate class, and are
therefore not dealt with here.
In view of the very full introduction to Vol. xii of the Record
Series, it seems unnecessary to add to this volume any introduction
on similar lines.
The whole class of Chancery inquisitions post mortem is under
arrangement; the documents are now arranged in files numbered
from the beginning of each reign. The documents themselves,
however, have not so far been renumbered, and still have the old
system of numbering, beginning a new serial with each regnal year.
It has therefore been thought better not to give the old serial number,
in view of a probable renumbering at no distant date.
The transcripts have been made by Miss Ethel Stokes, and
checked with the originals by Mr. Baildon, who is also responsible
for the topographical notes and the index. The genealogical notes
are by Mr. Clay.
The identification of the numerous places mentioned in the text
has been a task of great difficulty, and not a few remain unidentified.
Yorkshire is a notoriously troublesome county in matters of this
sort, owing to the fact that the same place-names so often recur.
Langdale's Topographical Dictionary of Yorkshire gives 32 places
named Thorpe, 27 named Newton, 21 named Burton, 19 named
Hutton, 19 named Thornton, 15 named Carleton or Carlton, and so
on. Many of these, it is true, have distinguishing names or ad-
jectives added to them, but these have varied from time to time,
and many are now obsolete. Of the smaller manors and properties
mentioned in the text, a considerable number are now represented
by farm-houses, and others have disappeared alike from the maps
and the directories. Under these circumstances it is inevitable
that errors of identification should have been made. Some of these
have been corrected in the index, and where there is a doubt a (?)
has been added, both in the notes and in the index.

ABSTRACTS OF YORKSHIRE INQUISITIONS.
r
[In bad state.]
I. William Percy,* son and heir of William Percy,
DECEASED.
(Inquisitions post mortem, Chancery, Henry IV, file i.)
Writ directed to the Escheator in co. York, dated at Westminster,
24 Oct., I Hen. IV [1399].
NOUisiTiON taken at Stokeslay-in-Cleveland, 10 Nov., i Hen.
IV [1399], before John de Wicch' [?], Escheator in co. York,
by the oath of Robert del Howe of Stokeslay, John Waxand
of Staynton, John Gardener of Marton, John de Laysyngby of
the same, John Sturmy of Fayceby, John Webster of Stokeslay,
John Marschall, William GoUan, and William Couper, all of
Stokeslay, William Chaumberlayn of Acclam, Arnold Clerk of
Stokeslay, and William Ecos [?]. On the death of William
Percy, deceased, by reason of the minority of William, his son
and heir, the manor of Castell Neuton^ came into the hands of
the late King Richard II ; and Christiana, late wife of the said
Wilham the father (still living), was dowered in J thereof by
virtue of the saidlate Kmg's writ directed to the then Escheator ;
and so f of the manor are now in the King's hands. William
the father died seised of the whole manor in fee tail, viz. to
him and the heirs of his body, by grant made, now some years
since, to the said William the father by Robert Conyers, chivaler,
Thomas de Boynton, chivaler, and John Conyers, brother of
the said Robert, with remainder to Margaret Percy, sister
of the said William the father, and the heirs of her body, and for
default to remain to the said Robert, Thomas and John, and
their heirs for ever, quit from the other heirs of the said William
and Margaret. The manor is held of the King in chief by hom-
age and fealty, and by the service of finding one man, with a
horse not covered, armed with haketon, palet, lance, and gloves
of plate, in time of war in Scotland for 40 days at the cost
of the lord of the said manor. The said | are worth 10 marks
yearly. In like manner the manor of Tampton and 8 messu-

Percys of Kildale," in Whitby Chartulary, Surtees Soc, ii, 696.
2 YORKSHIRE INQUISITIONS.
ages, 5 tofts, 7 oxgangs and 7 acres of land in Kildale, and one
messuage and 5 oxgangs of land in Neuby, were seized into the
King's hand. These premises were held of Thomas, Earl of
Kent, [Philip, Lord Darcy],^ John Percy of Kildale, and William
Moubray of Neuby, as appears more fully in an inquisition taken
after the death of the said William the father, now in the King's
Chancery. The said manor is worth 10 marks yearly. Because
it was found that by the said inquisition that the said Christiana
held the last-said premises jointly with the said William in tail,
they were deUvered to her. The said William, son of WiUiam,
now deceased, died without issue ; therefore the said f of the
manor of Castell Neuton and the reversion of the other | after
the death of the said Christiana, ought to remain to the said
Margaret, who is now married to Thomas Blaufrount ; they
have as yet no issue. [Much defaced by galls.]
The said WiUiam, son of WiUiam, died on 8th October last.
The said Margaret is aged 30 years and more.

brackets above have been supplied from this inquisition, now in Ric. II,

licence from Richard II. It is held of the King in chief by-
knight service, and is worth 20 marks 6s. 8^. yearly. The said
Andrew the elder died 11 Sept., 14 Ric. II [1390]. His son
occupied the manor afterwards, jointly with the said Joan,
who predeceased him. Andrew the son died 31 Dec, 21 Ric. II
[1397]. when. the manor descended to his son Geoffrey, under
age and a ward to the then King, who granted the wardship

granted in turn to Sir Henry de Grene, knight, by whose for-
feiture the wardship came into the hands of the now King.
The said Geoffrey is now aged 13 years and more. The said
Oliver took the profits till Whitsuntide last, and the said Sir
Henry all his life.

Querledale,! by the grant of Brian Stapilton, William Gascoigne,
Arnold Brokas, and John Chytarn, clerks, to the said Bernard
and Joan his wife, who still survives, and their heirs. The
manor is held of the Archbishop of York as of his manor of
Ottelay, but by what service the jurors do not know ; it is
worth 40 marks a year clear. The said Bernard also held,

and a favourite of the Black Prince [Diet. Nat. Biog.) ; gave evidence in the
Scrope and Grosvenor controversy, and dying in 1395, was buried with a
fine monument in Westminster Abbey. He married Agnes, daughter and
heiress of Sir Mauger Vavasour of Denton, from whom he was divorced, and
became lord of that place {Fines, Rec. Ser., lii). The above Sir Bernard, the
son, was attainted and executed in 1400 for engaging in the conspiracy against
Henry IV, being buried in the White Friars, London. His son William was
also of Denton, which probably early passed away, as the family continued at
Beaurepaire, co. Southampton {Hampshire Visitation, Harl. Soc; Glover's
Visitation; Whitaker's Leeds; Scrope and Grosvenor Roll).

Kyrkebv'malsart, except the knights' fees, advowsons of
churches, and the Chase of Niderdale to the same manor

Nottingham, the said duke, by deed dated 15 Feb., 15 Ric. II

Nicholas next before the birth of the said Edward ; had he
Hved, he would have now been 21. WilHam Dawson, aged. 50,
was in the town of Pontefract the day the said Edward was
born, and there saw a man, unknown to him, who had been
arrested for casting the evil eye [sinistra circumspectione] on
the horse of John de Him, his neighbour, and he then heard
that Anne de Hastinges, mother of the said Edward, had been
delivered of the said child. John Britvesill, aged 50, ....

say to divers bystanders at Drax, that he was going to ride
to the said manor of Fenwyk to be one of the godfathers of the
said Edward. William , aged 70, remembers the date
because John, son of Joan Askern, now parish clerk of Camp-
sale church, now 22 and more, was born the . . . preceding
the birth of the said Edward, and the said Joan was wet nurse
to the said Edward, and the said John, having regard to his
age, expects this next year to be promoted priest [ad ordinem
sacerdofis]. William de Knottyngley, aged 50, after having been
summoned by the escheator to attend this proof of age, met a
woman named Joan Parker, worthy of credence, aged 80 and
more, and inquired of her concerning the birth of the said Ed-
ward, and she voluntarily swore upon the Gospels that she was
present at the birth of the said Edward, and . . . from the said
Hugh, his father, for 3 years, and has since lived in Norton
for 18 years, so that she knows the said Edward was born
21 years since. Roger Chapman, aged 50, remembers because
John de Belton, aged 51, says the said Edward was
born in the year after the insurrection of the commons of
England at London, which was in the summer 22 years since.
Thomas Tubholm, aged 56, had a daughter Maud born on the
Feast of the Invention of the Holy Cross next before the birth

Swillington; no authority is given, and this Inquisition shows the statement
to be inaccurate. Sir John was probably buried at Blythburgh, Suffolk,
where he held a messuage and i J acres of land (Suffolk Inquisition). "An

Richard Bosewell, all of Edlyngton, Thomas Boresdale, Richard
Stanys, Thomas Bussell, and James Fulsam. The manor of
Edlyngton, late belonging to Fulk FitzWaryn, chivaler, came
to the hands of Hen. IV on the death of John Marchall of
Bettelay (who held it for term of his life by demise of the said
Fulk, the reversion being to Fulk and his heirs), by reason of
the minority of Fulk, son and heir of Fulk, son and heir of the
said Fulk FitzWaryn, chivaler. There is a garden which was
formerly the site of the said manor, worth yearly 2s. clear;
7 tofts lying waste, worth nothing a year beyond the reprises;
9 oxgangs of land, each worth yearly 4s. 6d. clear; 4 oxgangs
of land, each worth yearly 6s. clear; 5 oxgangs, each worth
yearly 4s. clear; 4 cottages, each worth yearly i2d. clear; one
portion [porcio] of meadow, worth yearly 6s. 3^. clear; 80 acres
of wood, worth nothing beyond the reprises; 3s. 3«?. rents of
assise of divers tenants there. The tenements in Edlyngton
set forth in an Inquisition taken before Robert Morton,
Escheator under Hen. IV (under a writ of 14 Hen. IV [1412-
3] y and the manor of Edelyngton and tenements specified
in another Inquisition taken before Edmund Fitz William, late
Escheator, under a writ of 2 Hen. V [1414-5],^ make [faciunt]
the manor of Edlyngton, late of Fulk FitzWaryn, chivaler,
and are one and the same, and not different things. The said
manor is held of Henry Wawesour, as of his manor of Heselwode,
by the service of one pair of spurs yearly for all service.
The abovesaid Fulk the grandson died 21 Sept. last. Eliza-
beth, wife of Richard Hankeford, esq., his sister and heir, is
aged 17 years and more.
5|c The above Fulk appears to be the 7th Lord FitzWarine and last heir
male. The barony descended to his sister, who married Sir Richard Hankford,
and, after, to the Bourchier family, where it remained till 1631. It is prob-
ably now in abeyance. Whether the FitzWarines held the whole manor of
Edlington seems doubtful, as it seems to have been held by the Scropes at
this time. They sold it 1572. See Hunter's South Yorkshire, Genealogist,
