To Master John Walewayn, escheator beyond Trent. Order not to intermeddle further with the lands of William de Lodelowe, and to restore the issues of the same, as it appears by inquisition that he held nothing of the king in chief at his death by reason whereof the custody of his lands should pertain to the king, except the manor of Hodinet with its members, which he held in chief as of the honour of Montgomery by serjeanty and by the service of being steward of that honour, and that Matilda his wife was enfeoffed thereof jointly with him by the late king's licence and by fine levied in his court, and that she peacefully continued her seisin until his death.

To Master Richard de Clare, escheator beyond Trent. Because it was lately found by an inquisition taken by Master John Walewayn, then escheator beyond Trent, that William de Lodelowe held nothing in chief at his death by reason whereof the custody of his lands should pertain to the king, except the manor of Hodenet, which is held in chief of the king as of the honour of Montgomery by serjeanty and by the service of being steward of the honour, whereof Matilda, late the wife of William, was enfeoffed jointly with him by the late king's licence and by fine levied in his court, and whereof she continued her joint seisin until his death, the king ordered the aforesaid John not to intermeddle further with William's lands in his bailiwick ; and although afterwards the escheator, because he was given to understand that William held at his death 100 acres of wood and £10 of yearly rent in Markeleye, co. Hereford, by knight service as of the crown, by reason whereof it was believed that the custody of his lands ought to pertain to the king by reason of his prerogative, resumed his lands into the king's hands, and the king caused dower of the lands so resumed into bis hands to be assigned to Wilham Wyn and Matilda his wife, late the wife of the aforesaid William de Lodelowe : the king now orders the escheator not to intermeddle further with the lands thus resumed into his hands, and to restore the issues thereof from the time of the resumption, as the said matter for retaining the custody on his hands is not sufficiently declared.
