To Malcolm de Harle, escheator beyond Trent. Whereas the king learns by inquisition taken by the escheator that Baldwin de Aldham, lately deceased, and Nicholaa, his wife, were jointly enfeoffed by William de Nevile of the manor of Heghton and Terringes, together with the advowsons of the churches of Flecchinges and Terringes, co. Sussex, because Nicholaa was in full and peaceful seisin of the manors jointly with Baldwin until his death, to wit for forty-six weeks, by a fine levied in the king's court, to have and to hold to them and the heirs of their two bodies, with remainder in default of heirs to the right heirs of Baldwin; the king orders the escheator to deliver the manors and adyowsons, which he took into the king's hands by reason of Baldwin's death with Baldwin's other lands, and the issues since received from them to Nicholaa, to be held in accordance with the feoffment until the next parliament, so that they may then be resumed into the king's hands and she may answer to the king for the issues thereof, if he ought of right to have them. To the same. Order to cause dower to be assigned to the aforesaid Nicholaa from the knights fees and advowsons that pertained to Baldwin.
