To the sheriff of Hereford, escheator in the same county. Order to cause John de Lacu to have again his seisin of all Roger Codagh s land in Rolveston, as the king learns by inquisition taken by the sheriff that Roger enfeoffed John of the said land, and that John was in seisin thereof for a year and more from the time of the enfeoffment and livery of seisin until Roger was taken for certain trespasses charged upon him and imprisoned at Brugg , in which prison he died, by reason whereof Roger Bastard, under-sheriff of that county, took the said land into the king's hands by reason of Roger's death, and that John had been enfeoffed of the land for a year and more before Roger committed the trespasses in the manner charged against him, and that the land is held of the king in chief.
