This page will be segmented when it gets too long. Add information by clicking on "edit" above. Items should begin with term (if available) and year together with a letter to allow for distinguishing subsequent documents in the same year and term. The designation should be in bold. Thus an entry will appear as H1285 A:. Text thereafter should indicate what the document concerns. The link to the document should be a copied and pasted full web address (http:// . . .) surrounded by single brackets ( [ ] ). Leave a line between entries. The 25-year segments begin with a vertical bar and end with a vertical bar minus. Avoid other more complex codes. If you want to append a translation, provide a completely unique address surrounded by double brackets: Par Man H1275 A Tr. Such an address indicates sector and year, the A indicates it is the first document entered for that year and term, the Tr indicates it is a translation. That will constitute a unique address. DO NOT attempt to re-order documents within a term to achieve a perfect chronology, since it will invalidate other references to re-named documents. A document written in Notepad will copy into the site without any complicating code. Avoid more complicated coding.

E1348 A: Buckinghamshire. Prior of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem v. William de Musckham parson of Denham. Trespass taking of goods and chattels at Denham worth 10 marks. William pleaded that he is parson of Denham; there is a meadow within his parish from which he and his predecessors have been accustomed to take tithes. The hay taken was the tithes tithed by the servants of the prior and separated from the nine parts. The parson took them as well he might without doing anything against the peace. Jury summons. [73]

1350:

H1350 A: Norfolk. Thomas de Whatton v. John de Brinkele cleric. Trespass: taking of goods and chattels worth 100 p.s. at West Bradenham in May 1349. Brinkele pleaded that he had demised to Whatton, Thomas le Grovere, and William Styngyn his church of West Bradenham with all fruits together with the manse of the church except the hall, chamber, and bakehouse for a term of three years for 35 marks, the lessee to pay tenths to the king and to find a parish chaplain and to sustain all other burdens incumbent on the church. Brinkele was granted the right to re-enter if the rent was in arrear in whole or in part or any of the covenants were broken. In 1349 the rent was arrear; they had not found a chaplain or paid the burdens. Jury summoned. [74] rcp

M1351 A: Leicestershire. Andrew Broun parson of Desborough v. Thomas de Pulteneye parson of half the church of Misterton, Robert Russel chaplain, William Cade de Medburn, John Suel de Medburn, William Parent de Misterton, John Balle de Misterton, John Brynkelowe de Misterton, and Nicholas son of Geoffrey de Walcote de Lutterworth, and Richard brother of the same Nicholas. Trespass taking of goods (various grains and vegetables worth 20 p.s.) and chattels at Misterton in December 1349. Pulteneye pleaded that Broun in 1348 was parson of that half of Misterton church and resigned it into the hands of the bishop of Lincoln. William Broun as patron presented William de Medburn cleric, and he was installed in 1349. Medburn found the glebe land sewn so that by virtue of the installation he had property in the crop. Broun, by virtue of the resignation, was wholly removed. Medburn, languishing in extremis constituted as his executors William Suel and John Cade. They harvested the crops and put it in a barn together with the tithes of the church from 1349: the whole is what the plaintiff claims. They sold the grain to Pulteneye. The others just helped carry it away after the sale. [75] rcp

This page will be segmented when it gets too long. Add information by clicking on "edit" above. Items should begin with term (if available) and year together with a letter to allow for distinguishing subsequent documents in the same year and term. The designation should be in bold. Thus an entry will appear as H1285 A:. Text thereafter should indicate what the document concerns. The link to the document should be a copied and pasted full web address (http:// . . .) surrounded by single brackets ( [ ] ). Leave a line between entries. The 25-year segments begin with a vertical bar and end with a vertical bar minus. Avoid other more complex codes. If you want to append a translation, provide a completely unique address surrounded by double brackets: ProPre H1275 A Tr. Such an address indicates sector and year, the A indicates it is the first document entered for that year and term, the Tr indicates it is a translation. That will constitute a unique address. DO NOT attempt to re-order documents within a term to achieve a perfect chronology, since it will invalidate other references to re-named documents. A document written in Notepad will copy into the site without any complicating code. Avoid more complicated coding.
