Content description

Extract from the Pleas de Juratis et Assisis of the Justices of eyre for Buckinghamshire, Hilary 14 Edward I.
William Bardolf and Julian, his wife, versus the abbot of Bec, claiming the manor of Beldelawe with its appurtances (except five messuages, a mill, two carucates of arable and the advowson of the church) as the right and heritage of Julian from her ancestor Hugh, in the time of King Richard, by way of Gerard, his son and heir, and then as he died without progeny, by way of Hugh his brother, the father of Julian. The defendant recognises the seisin of the first Hugh, as of fee and right, but says that Julian can claim no right in the premises, because the said Hugh gave them to the abbey of Bec, and he produces the charter of Hugh de Gornaco with it recited. (Eton College Records vol. VII no.2)
The plaintiffs say they have no need to answer to the said charter as it was made outside the Kingdom and cannot be verified.
Postea. William pays 40s for licence to agree, and the agreement is that William and Julian release to the abbot their claim upon the manor, and the abbot agrees to pay them 200 marks, in four half-yearly instalments, at the priory of St Mary of Southwark.

The missing parts have been examined on the relevant Assize Roll in the Record Office, J.I. 1/67 m. 17d.
