390. Inquisition made at Tinwell (Rutland) on Saturday, 26 January 1291-2, by oath of twelve (or more) jurors named, on the descent of 18 acres of arable and 1.5 acres of meadow in Stamford. It had been acquired by William Gressop of Ingthorpe, villein of the abbot of Peterborough, from the prioress and convent of Stamford. William had four sons and one daughter, called Edith, to whom he granted this land. After William's death, Edith married Gilbert Prudhomme of Empingham, and they had two daughters, Emma and Margery; after the parents' death the land was divided between them as Edith's heirs. Later another abbot's villein, Walter in le Westlane of Ingthorpe, married Emma; they had one son, John, and one daughter, Wymarca. John crossed the sea about twenty years before and never returned, and so was presumed dead. Since then Simon son of Margery of Ingthorpe, abbot's villein, married Wymarca; they had one son, Henry, before marriage, and a daughter after marriage, now dead. Emma's sister Margery married Henry atte Cross of Ingthorpe, abbot's villein; they were still alive and claimed Emma's half of the land as her heirs since she died without legitimate surviving descendants. Later Henry and Margery atte Cross quit-claimed the holding to the abbot for the use of Richard their son, for an annual payment of 3s., of which 2s. was to be paid to the prioress of Stamford through the reeve of Tinwell, as before. 26 January 1291-2 (Inquest, ) Givers: jurors Receivers: William Gressop of Ingthorpe, Stamford - St. Leonard's PriorySource Regest:

Comment
Date: Date. The 20th year of Edward II did not reach to 26 January 1327, although it is just pos- sible that a document might still have been dated as in his reign in ignorance of his abdication on 20 January. 1346 would be much too late, since we must allow for the passage of a number of years between no. 390, when the land was adjudged to Henry atte Cross and his wife for the use of their son Richard, and no. 560, which describes the same land in 1346-7 after Richard's death and his son's succession. In any case, 26 January was a Saturday in 1292, but not in 1327 or 1346. Feast RegnalCharter on the DEEDS-homepage: http://deeds.library.utoronto.ca/charters/00630390
