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 marriage 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 Surrey, 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 for ever.

Moreover, to the said Durandus and his heirs a rent of
£15. 6s. 8d., with its pertinencies, in the city of London,
by his deed, dated at London, on Thursday next before
the feast of the translation of St. Thomas the Martyr,
in the fifth year of the reign of the said Lord the King
Edward III., in like manner sealed with his seal of arms,
and enrolled in the Husting Court of London of pleas
of land, held on Monday in the feast of St. Mary Mag-
dalene, in the said fifth year,-that they, when in full
seizin, should grant the said manors and rents, with their
pertinencies, to the foresaid Roger the father, and Eli- <<<<
zabeth, and the heirs of their bodies legally issuing ; and,
if they should die without heirs of their body issuing,
the manors and rents aforesaid should remain for ever
to the right heirs of the said Sir Roger for ever. Which
Durandus, and John son of John de Bykenore, by fine
levied in the said Court of the said Lord the King
Edward III., viz. in the quindain of Michaelmas, in his
said fifth year, granted and rendered the manors and
rents aforesaid in the counties of Kent and Surrey to
the said Sir Roger and Elizabeth, and the heirs of their
bodies issuing; so that on failure of issue begotten be
tween them, those manors and rents should remain to
the right heirs of the said Sir Roger for ever. And
afterwards, viz. on the 11th day of December, in the
ninth year of the said Lord the King Edward III., and
the year of our Lord 1335, the said Elizabeth died <<<<
without issue of her body, and is buried at Shepeye,
nearly at the head of Sir Roger de Northwode, the re-
storer aforesaid. But, it is sculptured on the stone laid
over the said Elizabeth :-

" So that, in the superscription of the said stone, one
hundred years are omitted from the date of our Lord.
But consideration being had to the date of the deeds
executed on effecting the said maniage, and to the date
of the foresaid fine, by which the said manors of Horton
and Beauesfeld were granted to the said Sir Roger and
Elizabeth, and to the superscription of the said stone,
by which it is supposed that the said Elizabeth was the
daughter of Sir John de Segrave and the wife of Richard
Ffoliot, who were surviving in the time of King Edward,
son of King Henry, as appears among the Records of
the Exchequer, in a book of fees of the county of Kent;
and it being supposed afterwards, that she was the
second wife of the said Sir Roger ; and chiefly by the
information of certain who saw her, and knew, that she
died at Canterbury, under the care of a certain physi-
cian who pledged himself to her to cure her of the in
firmity of which she died; and by a certain acquittance
of Brother John Ryngemere, Prior of the order of bro-
thers Preachers of Canterbury, by which he acknow-
ledged that he had received of Sir Roger de Northwode
twelve marks, which the said Sir Roger had ordained
for the soul of Elizabeth, formerly his wife, the date of
which is Thursday next after the feast of the Annunci-
ation of the blessed Mary, in the year of our Lord 1342;
and consideration also being had, that before this there
had only been one Sir Roger, who was the son of Sir
Stephen de Northwode, whose wife was named Bona,
and who died in the fifteenth year of King Edward, son
of King Henry, as is aforesaid, and who lived within
fifty years before the ninth year of the reign of King
Edward III., in which year, as is aforesaid, the said Eli- <<<<
zabeth died,-it clearly appears that the omission of the
foresaid hundred years in the sculpture of the said stone
was done by the negligence of the workmen. So that
if the said hundred years be added to the sculptme of
page 19
the said stone, they-will show the true year of 'the death.
of the said Elizabeth. And that the said Elizabeth died <<<<
without issue of her body truly appears, inasmuch as
after the death of Maria, daughter of Sir John de Se
grave, late lord of Folkestane, brother of . the foresaid
Elizabeth, by virtue of the writ of our Lord the King of
diem clausit extremum, directed to William de Langele,
late Escheator of Kent, it was found by Inquisition taken
before the said late Escheator, at Lymynge, 16th day of
December, in the twenty-third year of the l'eign of Ed-
ward III., that the said Maria died seized of the manor
of Folkstane, with its pertinencies, in her demesne as of
fee ; and that she died without heir of her body, by
which the right to the said manor reverted to Mr. Nicho-
las de Sandwych, as kinsman and heir of the said Maria
de Segrave,^17 viz. son of Nicholas, brother of John de
Sandwich, father of Juliana, mother of John de Segrave
and Elizabeth, father of foresaid Maria ; who after a
while sold the said manor to Sir William de Clynton,
Earl of Huntingdon; so that, if the said Elizabeth, aunt <<<<
of the said Maria, had had issue, the manor of Polkstane,
without any hesitation, would have fallen to the said
issue.

her a suitable match, without disparagement or inequality
which if the infants refused, they forfeited the value of the
marriage ; that is, so much as a jury would assess, or any one
would bona flde give for such an alliance ; and, if the infants
:married without the King's consent, they forfeited double the
.value. And the same rights which the King had i!l this respect
over his tenants in capite, belonged also to all feudal lords over
their tenants who held by knight-service.
The wardship and marriage of the heir were fruitful sources
of revenue to the Lord. They were saleable as ordinary chat
tels, and were so treated.
[15.] The "Inquisitio post mortem" of this Agnes was
taken 1405-6, 6 Hen. IV., and Sir Roger died in 1361, 35
Ed. Ill. ; our Roll therefore must have been written between
1361 and 1406.
[17.] On referring to this Inquisition we find the Jury re-
turning as follows :-
" Item dicunt quod dicta Maria obiit die Martis proximo post
festum Sancti Bartholomei anno predicto. Item dicunt quod Nicho
laus de Sandwico est consanguineus et -propinquior .heres ejusdem
Marie, de manerio predicto, eo quod quedam .Agnes Daverenges, que
de manerio predicto fuit seisita in dominico suo ut de feodo et jure,
nupsit se Johanni de Sandwico, et de eisdem Johanne et .Agnete
exierunt Johannes et Nicholaus. De eadem Agnete descendit ma-
nerium predictum eidem Johanni, ut filio et heredi. De eodem
Johanne filio Agnetis descendebat manerium predictum cuiclam
Juliane ut filie et heredi ipsius Johannis filii Agnetis, que quidem
Juliana nupsit se Johanni de Segrave. De eadem Juliana descendit
manerium.predictum cuidam Johanni de Segrave, ut filio et heredi
predicte Juliane. De eodem Johanne de Seagrave, filio Juliane,
descendit manerium predictu:m Marie filie et heredi ejusdem Johannis
filii Juliane, que quidem Maria obiit sine herede de corpore suo
e:x:eunte, per quod revertebatm• jus manerii predicto Nicholao de
Sandwico, filio predicte Agnetis, avunculo predicte Juliane avee pre-
dicte Marie. De eodem Nicholao descendit jus predicti manerii isti
Nicholao de Sandwico, ut filiq et heredi ejusdem Nicholai et consan-
guineo et heredi predicte Marie, filio Nicholai, filii Agnetis, matris
Johannis, patris Juliane, matris Johannis de Segrave, patris Marie.
Dicunt eciam quod predicta Maria nullas habuit terraa seu tene-
menta in comitatu predicto de hereditate Johannis de Segrave avi
sui, et quod predictus Nicholaus est etntis qu.adraginta annorum et
amplius.” [See lnq. p. m., 23 Ed. Ill., pt. 2, No. 44.]

{19.] Essex. In the more modern transcript of this roll this
is written " Sussex."
[20.] Sir Ralph St. Leger was Sheriff of Kent, 10 Ric. II.
[21.] i.e. in the same ye1:J,r of our Lord, viz. 134..0. She was
married, it is stated, in the thirteenth year, therefore the mar
riage must have taken place in 1840, before the 25th of January,
to bring it into 18 Ed. III., and the same year of our Lord, after
the 25th of January, would be 14 Ed. ill.
[23.] "The late King Edward III.;" therefore this Roll
must have been written after 1377,. the last year of that
monarch.
[25.] This Sir Roger cle Northwode had his summons to
Parliament 3rd April, 1360; 34 Ed. III. [Rot. Olaus.].
[26.] By the custom of Gavelkind, the wife is endowed for
life with half the land of which her husband died seised, if it
be not otherwise settled by deed or will ; but her estate therein
ceases if she contract a second marriage. This clause, there
fore, was to secure the estate for life to Agnes, without any
forfeiture on a second marriage.
[27.] He had summonses to Parliament, 37, 38, 39, 42, 43, 44,
46, 47, and 49 Ed. III. [see Rot. Claus.].
[28.] This reference almost determines that Thomas Brumps-
ton was the writer of our Roll.
[29.] i.e. "pedigree." This is doubtless the Roll which we
have printed.

[30.] This would appear as if the questioner of the title to the
estate was Selinger; but among our other muniments there is
strong indication that James, the brother of the last Sir Roger,
was the chief promoter of the dispute.
