Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Court Rolls of the Manor of Wakefield, Vol. 2: 1297 to 1309 The first volume of these Court Rolls ended with the Court held on the Vigil of St. Matthew the Apostle, that is September 20th, 1297; the present volume ends with the corresponding Court in 1309. There is, however, an unfortunate gap between 1298 and 1306, for which period the rolls are missing. In 1309 a suit was adjourned because the rolls were wanting (ii, 194); and again at a later Court because the rolls had not been found (ii, 199). It appears from this that the missing rolls were lost or destroyed at an early date. As stated in the Introduction to vol. i (p. xvii), the Earl of Surrey had been appointed Keeper of Scotland in 1296. His services there are incidentally mentioned more than once in this volume. Thus, in 1298 a suit against Richard de Colley is adjourned until Richard´s return from Scotland (p. 27); in the same year John de Holne was sued for the value of a sheep carried off in Scotland in 1295-6 (p. 38). John de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, died on September 27th, 1304. The year is given in the Complete Peerage as 1305, but this appears to be an error. On October 16th, 1304, the King gave leave to the executors of the Earl´s will to dispose of his lands in Norfolk for a term of ten years, notwithstanding certain defects in the will; and on December 10th, 1304, mention is made of "John de Warenna, late Earl of Surrey." These items seem conclusive as to the year. The inquisition taken after his death, if any, has not been preserved. This is most unfortunate, as we might have had some interesting details of the Yorkshire property. The Earl´s only son, William de Warenne, died in his father´s lifetime, on December 15th, 1285, having been killed in a tournament held at Croydon. John de Warenne, only son of the above William, therefore succeeded to the title and estates of his grandfather.
