Holdings

The jurors say that he was born on 28 Oct. 1382 at Haddenham and baptised in Trinity church there, and so is of full age. This they know for the following reasons:

John Ware , aged 46, had a son born and baptised in that church on the same day.

Walter Crysp , 54, had a son ordained in that year who said his first mass in that church about the following 30 Nov.

William Pernel , 48, because his eldest son died within a week of the day of the birth.

John Brache , 47, was married after the following Midsummer.

Edward Brond , 62, was on a pilgrimage to Canterbury with Fulk’s father when his mother was pregnant and gave birth.

William Redberd , 58, bought certain lands and tenements in Haddenham from the father on 9 Nov. following the birth and knows by the date of the charters.

Geoffrey Waryn , 63, because his wife’s father died on 31 Oct. of the previous year and was buried in that church. He made the tomb.

John Gelyn , 54, set off for Santiago [de Compostela] on 2 Feb. following.

Thomas Smyth , 66, because a stranger was killed by accident at Haddenham on 26 Nov. following the birth and he was there with the king’s coroner.

John Mannyng , 48, was in the church at the baptism and held the book for the priest.

Richard Mestylon , 60, paid Fulk the father £10 at Christmas after the birth, and he has a receipt which gives the date.

William Outelawe , 62, says that Fulk affirmed, maintained and declared it (eum affirmavit, tenuit et nominavit) before the bishop in the church of Sutton in the same county, whence he well knows that Fulk son of Fulk de Grey is of full age.
