To William Auncel escheator in Herefordshire. Order to deliver to John Eylesford knight and Isabel his wife the manor of Bremfeld, which is in the king's hand by the death of Parnell who was wife of John Boulewas knight and of John de Boulewas, together with the issues thereof taken since the death of John Boulewas, saving to the king the issues taken from the said Parnell s death to the death of John Boulewas; as the king has learned by inquisition, taken by the escheator, that John Boulewas, who died 12 April last, held at his death no lands in that county in his demesne as of fee nor in service, but long before his death with the king's licence granted the reversion of the said manor, then held for life of his heritage by the said Parnell who died 10 August last, after her death to Hugh de Monyton, Thomas de Burghope, John de Stretton and Roger Partrich and to their heirs for ever, that they received the attornment of the said Parnell, and granted to the said John Boulewas and to the heirs of his body the remainder of the said manor, which after her death ought by virtue of the grant and attornment aforesaid to have remained to them, with remainder for lack of such an heir to the said John de Eylesford and Isabel and to their heirs, that the said John Boulewas died without issue, wherefore the same ought by the form of the gift to remain to John de Eylesford and Isabel, that the said John Boulewas in his life time sued not out of the king's hand the said manor which was in the king's hand by the said Parnell s death, and that the said manor is held in chief by the service of keeping the king's forest of Morf; and the king has taken the homage and fealty of John de Eylesford.
