RICHARD REDE
29 Writ. ‡ 3 March 1433. [Wymbyssh].
ESSEX. Inquisition. Chelmsford. 6 July 1433. [Rokell].
Jurors: Thomas Aldres ; Edmund Preston ; Thomas atte Hille ; Richard Jocep ; John atte Park ; William Sabryght ; Henry Hoberd ; William Manwode ; William Hereward and John Smyth , of Ballingdon; Thomas Rolf , ‘bocher’; Stephen Penyfader ; and John Stokwell .
He held no lands or tenements of the king in chief or any others in demesne or service. Described as Richard Rede of Ireland, he was lately seised in his demesne as of fee of the manors of Wallbury, annual value £6 14s., Hassenbrook, annual value 105s. 8d., and Vange, annual value £4 13s. 4d., which he held of the king in chief by knight service. By deception and collusion, he enfeoffed John Rede , his son and heir apparent, a minor, John parson of Little Hallingbury church and William Wetnale , citizen and grocer of London, and their heirs, with the manors. This enfeoffment was intended to allow Richard to receive all issues during his lifetime; immediately after his death John and William would receive the issues for the use and profit of John his son during his minority; and when John reached his majority, John and William were to deliver all their right and estate to him and his heirs, thereby defrauding the king of the heir’s marriage and custody of the manors during his minority.
He died on 21 December last. John his son is his next heir, aged 14 years and more.
