Manuscript The National Archives, series C 54, membrane 9 (class as printed in the calendar; consult AALT/TNA for the original roll)

To the sheriff of Stafford. Order not to intermeddle further with the manor of Weston, and to deliver the custody thereof to Robert de Staundon, retaining in the king's hands the lands that John de Chetewynd held at his death of John son and heir of John son of Alan, tenant in chief, a minor in the king's wardship, as the king learns by inquisition taken by the sheriff that John de Chetewynd held nothing of the king in chief as of the crown whereby the custody of all his lands ought to pertain to the king, but that he held the manor of Weston of Robert de Staundon by the service of one small knight's fee.
