Of which Sir Roger and Bona issued

Sir John de Northwode. The said Roger died the 9th

day of November, in the year of our Lord 1286, and

the fifteenth 5 year of the reign of Edward, son of the

aforesaid King, and he and the said Bona are buried

before the altar of the parish church of Menstre, in

Shepeye. And the said Sir John succeeded him as son

and heir, and did homage and relief to the said Lord

Edward, late King of England, for his lands coming

to him by inheritance after the death of the said Sir

Roger, as appears among the Records of the Exchequer,

in Easter Term, the eighteenth year of the foresaid

Lord Edward. Which Sir John married the Lady Joan

de Badlesmere, lady of, the manors of Horton near

Canterbury, and Beausfelde near Dover in the county

of Kent; she possessed also certain tenements in Southwerke,

in the county of Surrey, and rents in the city

of London. Of which Sir John and Joan issued Sir

John, the eldest son, James, Thomas, Richard, Simon,

and Humphrey. The said James died without heir of

his body. Sir John, the eldest son,7 married Agnes,

one of the daughters of Sir. William de Grandisson

and Sibilia his wife, and, with the consent of the said

Sir John, his father, endowed the said Agnes with the

manor of Northwode Chasteners at the door of the

church.8 And of the said Sir John the son and Agnes

issued Sir Roger, Sir John de Northwode, Otho, Sir

William, Knight of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem

in England, Thomas, and Robeit. The said Sir John,

the eldest son, died during his father's lifetime; and,

that the said Sir John son of Sir John, and Agnes

daughter of Sir William de Grandisson, were married,

and that the said Sir. Roger was their issue, is evident

page 13

by the Records of a plea in the Common Bench, in

Michaelmas Term, 6 Rich. II., Roll 508, on a certain

writ^9 of 'forme donacionis' prosecuted in the county of

Berks against John Eastbury and others, at the suit of

Roger Beauchamp and others, seeking by that writ the

manor of Lamborne, with its pertinencies, in the said

county ; and by the judgment of the Court of the said

Lord the King they obtained it. And the said Sir John

the father and Joan his wife died, viz. the said Sir John 10

on the vigil of Pentecost, which then happened on the

26th day of May, in the twelfth year of King Edward son

·of King Edward, and the said Joan died on the vigil of

the Holy Trinity next following, which then happened

on the 2nd day of June, in the same twelfth year, as

appears by an Indenture of the goods of the said Sir

John, and by the offices11 taken by the Escheator after

their death and returned into the Chancery of the said

Lord the King, by pretext of writs of diem, clauset ex-

tremum, directed to the said Escheator in the county of

Kent; and by office taken at Sydyngborne, on Friday

next before the feast of St. John the Baptist, in the

twelfth year of the reign of King Edward son of King·

Edward. After the death of the said Sir John, it was

found that he died seized of many manors, lands, and

tenements with their pertinencies, in the said county,

held of the Lord the King in capite, without any men-

tion that he held any freehold in the foresaid manors of

Horton and Beausfelde. And it was also found that the

foresaid Sir Roger, son of Sir John, the elder son of the

said Sir John deceased, was of the age of twelve years

at the feast of Easter next before the taking of the said

Inquisition, and was his heir as to the manors, lands,

and tenements with their pertinencies, held by knight's

service. And as to the rest of the tenements of the

tenure of gavelkind, the said Roger, Thomas, Richard,

Simon, and Humphrey, uncles of the said Roger, and

page 14

Sir John, Sir William, Thomas, and Robert, brothers of

the said Roger, were heirs according to the custom of

gavelkind; making no mention of the foresaid Otho,

brother of the foresaid Roger, in the foresaid office.

And that there were so many coheirs to the said inheri-

tance of gavelkind, appears, as well by the foresaid

offices, as by the record of a certain plea in the Common

Bench, in Michaelmas Term, 47 Edw. III., Roll 257, on

a certain writ of consanguinity, at the suit of Roger de

Scalis and others, against Sir Richard atte Leese, Knight,

and others, prosecuted in the county of Kent.12 And, by

the office taken at Sydyngborne, on the Friday and year

aforesaid, after the death of the said Joan, it was found

that she died seized in her demesne as of fee, in the said

manors of Horton and Beauesfeld, with their pertinencies;

and also that the said Roger, then twelve years old, son <<<< Father Roger

of Sir John, the elder son of the said Joan, was heir to

the foresaid manors with their pertinencies, and so those

manors only were the inheritance of the said Joan.

And, forasmuch as the manots of the said late Sir John,

grandfather of the said Roger, were held of the Lord the

King in capite; by reason of the minority of the said

Roger, the said Lord the King Edward, son of King Edward,

seised all the manors, lands, and tenements pertain·

ing to the said Roger the heir into his own hands, and so

they remained till the 20th day of June in the thirteenth

year of his reign, on which day, by his letters patent

he committed the custody of the foresaid lands and tenements,

together with the marriage ^13 of the said heir,

to Sir Bartholomew de Badlesmere, Knight, to hold till

the legal age of the said heir; who sold that marriage

to the Lady Idonia de Leybourne, late wife of Sir Geoffrey

de Say the elder ; which Sir Geoffrey begat of the

fotesaid Idonia, Sir Geoffrey de Say, Sir Roger de Say,

Juliana de Say, and Isabella de Say, as I have been told

by many; among them, by John Wantynge, who was the

page 15

Esquire and Secretary of the said Sir Geoffrey the son,

and knew them all personally.14 Which Idonia, to whom

the marriage of the foresaid heir belonged, by virtue of

the grant of the said Sir Bartholomew, committed the said

Juliana, one of her daughters, to wife to the said Roger,

the foresaid heir, between the fourteenth and fifteenth

year of his age. And the said Sir Geoffrey the son deli

vered over the foresaid Isabella, another of his sisters,

to John Chaumpayne, lord of Norton and Newe1iham, to

wife; and by pretext thereof, the said John Chaumpayne,

by fine in the Court of the Lord the King Edward III.,

on the morrow of St. Martin, in the eighteenth year of his

reign, acknowledged the foresaid manors, with their perti

nencies, to be the right of Ralph, Parson of the church of

Cudham; and for that acknowledgment, the said Ralph

granted that the foresaid manors, with their pertinencies,

which Alice, widow of Sir William Dages, Knight, and

Robert Newelond, held for the life of Margery, widow

of Sir John Chaumpayne, Knight, of the heirs of the

foresaid Ralph, and which, after the decease of the said

Margery, ought to revert to the foresaid Ralph or his

heirs, should entirely remain, after the death of the said

Margery, to the foresaid John and Isabella, and the

heirs of the said John of his body begotten; and if it

should happen that the said John should die without

heirs of his body begotten, the said manors, with their

pertinencies, should remain to the said Sir Geoffrey de

Say, to hold to him and his heirs for ever. Of which

Roger and Juliana de Say his wife, issued Sir John de

Norwode, Roger, Geoffrey, and Agnes; which Roger· the <<<<

father, at the time of the baptism of the said Sir John

his eldest son, had not completed the age of fifteen

years, as we receive for truth from the information of

Sir Richard Sheme, late chaplain of the foresaid Roger

the father, and afterwards Vicar of Eastcherche, in

Shepey,-and also of Agnes, the last wife of the said

Roger, now^15 wife of Christopher de Shukkeburgh; and of

Thomas Chicche of Balnerle, late his esquire, who often

heard it stated by the said Roger himself. After their

marriage they lived together· for nine years and more ;

and he sued for his writ de cetate probanda after the

feast of Easter, in the first year of the reign of Edward

III.; and about the feast of the translation of St. Tho-

mas, he obtained livery of his inheritance out of the

hands of the Lord the King. And the said Juliana

died the 20th of February, in the third year of the fore

said Lord the King Edward III. And also the foresaid

Geoffrey and Agnes, their children, died, without issue, <<<<

in the lifetime of thefr father, the said Roger. And a

little before the feast of St. Peter ad Vincula, in the :fifth

year of the said Lord. the King Edward III., late King of

England, he contracted a second marriage, viz. with Eli-

zabeth, late wife of Richard Ffoliot, Esq., and daughter of

Sir John de Segrave, late lord of Folkstane ;16 and to ob

tain that maniage he gave the foresaid manors of Beaues

feld and Horton, near Canterbury, in the county of Kent,

and a rent of nine marks in the parish of St. Olave's, in

Southwerk, in the county of Suney, by deed sealed with

his seal of arms, dated at Ffolkstane, on Tuesday on the

monow of St. John the Baptist, in the fifth year of the

reign of the Lord the King Edward Ill, to Durandus

de Wydmerpole and John de Bykenore, son and heir of

Sir John de Bykenore, Knight, and their heirs fol ever.
