V." in the heading. f. 176. 33. Inspeximus by Henry VI. of the record of a plea in the chancery of Ireland (at the prosecution of Sir Christopher Plunkett and Joan his wife, deceased,) at Swerdes, 3 Hen. VI., respecting the manor of Kyllskyer. The King sent a writ close (dated at Trym, 10 Feb. 3 Hen. VI.) to Philip White, clerk, keeper of the treasury of books and records late of Edward Earl of March and Ulster and Lord of Trym, in the castle of Trym, to certify the causes of the seizure of the said manor into the hand of Roger De Mortimer, late Earl of March and Ulster, by John De Gresden, escheator of Meath. The inquisition taken by that escheator at Athboy, 17 Ric. II., found that Bertreda Laundey was seized of the said manor, which she held of Roger De Mortimer, lord of the liberty of Meath, as of his castle and manor [of Trym]; that she afterwards married Alex. Pentenei, jun; that the said Alexander and Bertreda in 26 Edw. III. alienated the manor to John Pentenei, their son, and his heirs; that the same John in 50 Edw. III. alienated it to William Falliagh, who alienated it to Bertoke Penteney, an outlaw for felony. By force of this inquisition the manor was seized into said Earl Roger's hands. Subsequently in a petition* by said Christopher and Joan it was stated that the escheator had no power in law to take the said inquisition, considering the outlawry; and they prayed leave to prove their title, which was granted by privy seal dated at Swerdes, 19 March 3 Hen. [VI]. Their attorney, being admitted to plead, said that the manor was not held of said Earl Roger; that Peter Falyagh gave it to Alex. Penteney and Bertreda his wife for their lives,† . . to Joan, wife of said John, and the heirs male of said John, and if John died without heirs male, the manor to remain to Ric. Tuyt and his heirs ; that after the death of said Alexander and Bertreda, it was enjoyed by said John and Joan, John dying without heirs male, and Luke Cusake, knight, as kinsman of said Ric. Tuyt, entered into the manor; that on said Luke's death it descended to Joan, wife of said Christopher, as his daughter and heir; and that Christopher and Joan were seized of it until they were ejected by colour of said inquisition. The sheriff was ordered to distrain said Christopher to appear in Court, to account to the king for the rents received from said Earl's death, but he did not till this had been done numerous times. At length he appeared, and said he had sundry exonerations, which he required time to produce; and at the next hearing he caluminated the said inquisition. The Barons of the Exchequer decided that he ought not to be called to account, but Maurice FitzEustace and Rowland FitzEustace, who had The first portion of this petition, and also the end of the inquisition, have 1 een omitted by error of the transcriber. f. 20. received the issues.* Afterwards said Joan, daughter of John, entered into the manor, and enfeoffed Nicholas Castelmartin, who enfeoffed Thomas Dalton, chaplain, and his heirs, long before Earl Roger had anything to do with the manor. Further, the said Christopher pleads that he and Joan his wife issued out a writ of scire facias against said Thomas Dalton, who appeared before the justices of the King's Bench at Dublin, and said that John De Penteney was seized of the manor until he was disseized by said Alexander, Bertreda, and Peter, but afterwards entered again into possession.
