Writ Head

126 Writ melius inquirendo. ‡ 2 April 1438. [Kirkeby].

Regarding CIPM XXI, no. 902, an inquisition taken in 1422.ⁿ⁰⁹⁷ It was found that William Grilleston held the manor of Langford for life from the inheritance of Edward son and heir of Robert Langeford, knight , by grant of William Langeford, knight , to William Grilleston and Elizabeth his wife, deceased at the taking of the 1422 inquisition, to hold of William Langeford and his heirs, rendering £9 yearly during the life of Elizabeth, and £10 yearly thereafter. William Langeford was grandfather of Edward, who is his heir, viz., William is the father of Robert father of Edward. After the grant, Elizabeth and William Langeford died, with William Grilleston surviving. The reversion with the £10 rent thus fell to Robert son and heir of William Langeford, knight . Robert then died seised of the reversion as of fee and by right, and of the rent as of free tenement, and the rent and reversion descended to Edward son and heir of Robert, a minor in the wardship of Henry V. Not specified was the age of Edward at the time of the inquisition, or at the time of Robert’s death. Inquire as to the age of Edward.
