Regarding the
He confirmed the right by which Thomas Peyure, esquire , William Halle , and John Hals held the manor of Langford, with other manors, lands, and tenements: this was in part discharge of 800 marks to the three men by recognizance before the late mayor of the staple of the city of London by Nicholas Wodhull , his father, as shown more fully in Chancery [ CPR 1408–1413, p. 295]. The confirmation was made by indented deed on 1 May 1411 and he thereby granted the manor to them, and their heirs and assigns, to hold of the chief lords of that fee by due service, provided that if they, or their heirs and assigns, wish to hold the manor in mesne beyond the term of 17 years, they must render £200 yearly at Easter to him, and his heirs and assigns. This appears more fully in the other part of the indenture shown to the jurors. The term of 17 years was complete on 1 May last when the issues of Langford manor fell due to the king because of the minority of Thomas his son and heir. Thomas Peyure , William and John did not wish to render £200 rent and so the escheator entered the manor with their assent on 1 May in right of Thomas son of Thomas.He died on 22 March 1421. Thomas is his son and next heir, and aged 16 and more. He is a minor in the king’s wardship.
