331 Writ.‡ 1 November 1444. [Bate]. Addressed to Henry Frowyk, mayor and escheator. We are given to understand that she was seised in demesne as of fee of a brewhouse with 2 shops adjoining in Fleet Street, in the suburb of London without Ludgate, in the parish of St Martin Ludgate; and of another shop, annexed thereto, in the bailey in the said suburb, with solars built above, held of us in burgage; and that she died without heir. We wish to be more fully certified. Inquire into the following: whether she was seised in demesne as of fee, whether she died without heir, of whom the tenement, shops, and solars are held, and by what services, their value, the date of her death, and who has occupied the above and received the issues.

She was seised in demesne as of fee of a brewhouse with 2 shops adjoining in Fleet Street, in the suburb of London without Ludgate, in the parish of St Martin Ludgate; and of another shop, annexed thereto, in the bailey in the said suburb, with solars built above, held of us in burgage true annual value 7 marks, held of ‪ Henry IV in free burgage, service unknown.
She died without heir on 3 May 1405.
On 1 June 1405, the above were seised into the king’s hands. On 28 July, by letters patent, the king granted them to John Ascowe and Philip Gyldere for the term of their lives [CPR 1405–8, p. 34]. They entered the above and received the issues from 28 July until 15 November 1408, when – by collusion (covinam) between them, and John Marchaunt and Richard Welham ‘coteler’ – John Marchaunt entered on their possession. He pretended to be the kin and heir of Agnes – as the son of Peter, the son of Peter, the brother of Geoffrey Boner , her father – but was not, defrauding and disinheriting the king. Geoffrey had no such brother. John Ascowe died; Philip survived him and died on 21 December 1424. Immediately after the entry by John Marchaunt, Richard Welham occupied the above and received the issues, until 29 September 1427, by what title the jurors do not know. Then John Gardener, alias John Lane , late citizen and ‘iremonger’ of London, entered and occupied the above and received the issues until his death, by what title the jurors do not know. After his death Richard Gardener , alias Richard Lane of London, ‘iremonger’, entered and occupied the above and received the issues, until 20 April 1441, by what title the jurors do not know. On that 20 April, the above were seised into the king’s hand by virtue of a writ directed to the sheriff of London after the death of John Ascowe and Philip Gyldere. On 16 May 1441, by letters patent shown to the jurors, the king granted the above to Henry Langton and John Croke for the term of their lives [CPR 1436–41, p. 508, dated 21 April 1441]. They occupied the above and received the issues from that 16 May until 8 September 1444, when Richard Joynour of London, ‘grocer’, entered. After this date the jurors do not know who occupied the above or received the issues.
