To William Trussel, escheator this side Trent. Order to deliver certain lands in Aston, co. Hereford, to Thomas son of Thomas de Aston, which lands were taken into the king's hands on the death of Simon de Aston, as it is found by inquisition taken by Robert Selyman, late escheator this side Trent, that the said Simon held the lands at his death by a fine levied in the late king's court, to him and the heirs of his body, with remainder to Thomas de Aston, deceased, and the heirs of his body, and that by virtue of the said fine the lands ought to remain to Thomas de Aston, son and heir of the said Thomas, because Simon died without an heir of his body, and that the lands are held of the heir of John Giffard of Weston, a minor JIL. 453 king's wardship, by the service of a fourth part of a knight's fee, and has proved his age before the escheator, and the king has taken his for the said lands.
