‪ Henry V by letters patent [5 Nov. 1413; 14 Oct. 1418: CFR 1413-22, pp. 45, 259] committed to Thomas Parker the keeping of a messuage, a dovecot, 6 1/2 a. arable, 6 a. pasture, and 66s. 8d. rent in Magor in the march of Wales which Hugh Mortimer, knight , held of ‪ Henry IV by knight service when he died, and they are now in the king's hand. The keepers were accustomed to render 6s. 8d. increment at the Exchequer at Easter and Michaelmas by equal parts. Thomas and all other farmers held a court called `le Roiall Court' belonging to the king of the lordship of Magor for all amercements, fines, reliefs, deodands, chattels of felons and fugitives, wreck of the sea, and forfeitures within the lordship or manor of Magor, pleas of land and other pleas there, wards, marriages, reliefs, escheats and other profits in the regalian court when they occur, annual value 60s. From the time of Hugh's death, Thomas and all the other farmers answered directly to the king for the lands and rent because the lordship is extensive and scattered, held it of the king in chief and were suitors at `le Roiall Court'.
