The Manor of Wakefield was a vast estate covering two large areas of the West Riding of Yorkshire. In addition to Wakefield, townships within the manor included Stansfield, Heptonstall, Northowram, Hipperholme, Brighouse, Clifton, Hartshead, Dewsbury, Ossett, Sandal, Walton, Holme, Shepley, etc. (see map of the estate). An almost unbroken series of records of the manorial court exists from 1274 to 1925, when the manor was dissolved.[1] During the first half of the 14th century, families surnamed Hood with at least one member carrying the first name Robert were found in Wakefield, Alverthorpe, Stanley, Sowerby, and perhaps Sandal (see interactive map below). Joseph Hunter famously suggested that one of these Robert Hoods, a Wakefield tenant who appears in the manor court rolls during the first quarter of the 14th century, was the historical original of the traditional character.[2] For this reason, and also because the other R. Hoods in the court rolls are of interest, we must take a close look at the Robert Hoods mentioned in the court rolls (links to relevant records are found below). This will involve also an account of those of their relatives who appear in the court rolls.[3]

The five first volumes of court rolls to appear were published by the Yorkshire Archaeological & Historical Society in its general records series, while subsequent volumes, published from 1977 on, appear in a dedicated Wakefield Court Rolls Series published by the society.[4] Volumes published no later than 2011 are now freely available in PDF format under a Creative Commons license, which has made it possible to cite most relevant entries in toto without infringing copyright.[5]

Robert Hoods in Wakefield manor court rolls

It is hoped that eventually all court roll entries relating to men named Robert Hood occurring before 1500 will be entered. While the earliest rolls have all been published, a large number of later ones remain unedited. Judging from what later rolls are available in print, the Hoods seem to have disappeared around the mid-14th century. Since there were several families of that name, living in a handful of localities, it seems unlikely that the apparent extinction of the surname was due to failure to produce male heirs, and in view of the timing, the obvious explanation is that they were among the victims of the Black Death.

103 records of Robert Hoods in manor court rolls published no later than 2011 (record entries are cited below):


The Hoods of Alverthorpe

The court rolls examined so far include at least 15 entries relating to a Robert Hood under the heading 'Alverthorpe' (or similar). The most parsimonius assumption is that they all refer to one and the same man, and there seems to be no evidence against this. The same can be said for the records referring to Robert Hood of Newton (see below). The 1309 entry shows that Robert Hood of Alverthorpe was then a grave, an administrative official elected by the township. Taken together, entries dating from the 1320s relating to Robert Hood of Alverthorpe and his namesake of Newton make it all but certain that the two were one and the same person holding land in both vills. It would seem that this Robert Hood was originally from Newton but resident in Alverthorpe.[6] Entries in which 'of Newton' is appended to his name are found in the section following the present. Entries which cannot be connected with a specific vill appear last as a subsection under the present section.

The following 45 records refer to Robert Hood of Alverthorpe:

Richard Hode of Alverthorpe

Richard Hode of Alverthorpe figures in two or three entries. The first of them concerns an R. Hode. 'Richard' and 'Robert' are found combined with that surname in the court rolls, but it goes without saying that they are not the only possible Christian names. However, in view of the other two entries it seems very likely that he is also the person concerned in the first one.

  • 1349-02-03; court at Wakefield. Adam Jordanson ordered to take half an acre which R... Hode surrendered. Heading: None.[30]
  • 1349-03-03; court at Wakefield. Richard Hod surrenders half an acre in Alverthorpe, which is granted to Adam son of Jordan. Heading: 'Alverthorpe'.[31]
  • 1350-07-02; court at Wakefield. Richard Hode surrenders half an acre in Alverthorpe, which is granted to William Gerbot. Heading: None.[32]

Robert Hode jr. of Alverthorpe

Since the above Robert Hode of Alverthorpe figures already in 1307, it is quite likely that it was his son rather than he himself who was the Robert Hode junior whose son John figures in 1340. It is not clear whether John son of Robert Hode, also figuring the latter year, is identical with John son of Robert Hode junior or if he was a son of the older Robert Hode.

1340 - John son of Robert Hode junior

[1340:]
John son of Robert Hode junior likewise [i.e. drew blood] from William son of Richard de Batelay, 6d.[33]

1340 - John son of Robert Hode

[1340:]
Henry de Stannelay comes into court and acknowledges that he owes John Jose 23d as pledge for John son of Robert Hode for a tunic bought from him. He is to satisfy for the 23d, and 40d damages, and is not taxed because he does not wish to find a pledge. He is amerced 2d.[34]

No vill mentioned

1324 - Robert Hood (Wakefield Manor)

[1324:] 
William de Ouchethorp acknowledges he owes John Sibbeson the crop of a rood of land sown with oats. Surety—Robert Hood.[35]

1333 - Baker Robert Hood (Wakefield Manor)

The Hoods of Newton

45 records concern a Robert Hood of Newton. There is no evidence to show that they do not all refer to one and the same man. Furthermore, records mentioning Robert Hoods of Alverthorpe or Newton during the 1320s make it almost certain that we are concerned with one person holding land in both vills. See further above.

[1340:]
John de Welles was summoned to answer Robert de [p. 223:] Hyperum, Joanna his wife, Thomas de Lepton and Margery his wife in a plea that he deforced them of an acre and half a rood in Alvirthorp which they claim to be the right and inheritance of Joanna and Margery after the death of John Swerd their uncle, who died seised of it. John says that they can claim no right in the land because John Swerd, long before his death, surrendered the land into the hand of the grave for the benefit of the said John. And he took the land in court and <then> made fine with the lord, and he seeks an inquiry. The plaintiffs similarly. The jurors, namely Henry Brounsmith, Adam Rudde, Robert Malyn, John Gerbot, Richard Swan, Adam del Bothe, Robert Hode de Neuton, William de Ouchethorp, Robert Salman, John Attebarre, Richard Wythundes and Thomas Binny, say on their oath that John Swerd, long before his death, surrendered the said land into the hand of John Gerbot, then grave of Alvirthorp, who <to the benefit (opus) of John de Welles > offered the same land at the next court, in the court of John de Trehampton, then steward. The latter ordered him to retain the said land in his hand. After the death of John Swerd, John de Welles came into court in the presence of Sir Simon de Baldreston <then steward >, and took the said land and then made a fine. Asked if any surrendering land to the grave die before the surrender to use was made in court, should the heir have it automatically, the Jurors said that such land needed a new seizure and entry fine in court. Therefore John de Welles is to hold the land to himself and his heirs in perpetuity. The plaintiffs are amerced 2d for false claim; the amercement of Thomas de Lepton is pardoned because he is a clerk.[74]

1 record refers to Alice, wife of John Hood of Newton:

  • 1349-02-03; court at Wakefield. John Hod of Newton and his wife Alice surrender a piece of land in Alverthorpe to William de Fery and his heirs under the condition that if, twelve years from date, John and Alice or their heirs pay William or his executors the 20s William lent them, they will shall again hold it according to custom, otherwise half of the land shall remain to William and his heirs. Heading: 'Alverthorpe'.[82]

The Hoods of Sandal

Robert son of Peter Hode inherited his father's lands in Sandal in 1350 (see the record '1350 - Robert son of Peter Hode' listed below under The Hoods of Wakefield). It is unclear if the father, Peter, should be identified with the Peter Hode listed below under Peter Hood of Wakefield. One entry connects John Hood of Wakefield (II) with Sandal. There is no evidence to indicate if or how he was related to Robert and Peter.

The Hoods of Sowerby

Ten court roll entries from the period 1308-39 are concerned with one or both of the sons of John Hood (or Hodde) who were named Robert or with a son of one of them also named Robert.

The following 10 records refer to the Hoods of Sourby:

1308 - Robert son of John Hodde of Sowerby

[1308:]
Robert, s. of John Hodde gives 2s. 3 d for 4 acres1 in Blacwode; rent 2s.[90]

1313 - Robert son of John Hodde of Sowerby injured

[1313:]
Henry del Loue drew blood from Robert, s. of John Hodde; 12d.[91]

1314 - Robert son of John Hodde of Sowerby (1)

[1314]
Robert, s. of John Hodde, gives 2s. to take 2½ acres with buildings in Soureby of John Pikeston, for 11 years.[92]

1314 - Robert son of John Hodde of Sowerby (2)

[1314:]
Elias, s. of Ivo de Warlolay, 18d. to take 3 acres in Sourby, on Wildeborhill, from Robert, s. of John Hodde.[93]

1315 - Robert and Robert sons of John Hood

[1315:]
Robert, s. of John Hodde, 6d.; Robert, his brother, 3d. [...] for escapes in the Frith.[94]

[1316:]
 It is found [attinctum] by an Inquisition of the jurors that John of Miggeley by a certain false suggestion which he laid against Robert & Robert [sic] sons of John Hodde unjustly & maliciously recovered against the aforesaid Robert & Robert 10s by a plea in conoscor. It is ordered, therefore, that the aforesaid Robert & Robert recover the aforesaid 10s against the aforesaid John, & that he be amerced 6d, and the aforesaid Robert & Robert pay a fine of 5s for having aid to levy the aforesaid 10s from the aforesaid John.[95]

1316 - John son of Robert Hode of Sowerby

[1316:]
John son of Robert Hode gives 2s 4d for enclosing, & for arrears of rent, 1 rood & 10 falls of land enclosed 8 years ago, to hold to himself & his heirs, rendering therefor 2d per annum.[96]

1331 - Robert Hodde of Sowerby

[1331:]
 Alice formerly wife of Henry de Migeley, demands against Robert Hodde of Sourby the third part of a messuage, of 10 acres of land & 1 acre of meadow in Sourby, by right of dower after the death of Henry, her late husband, of which the said Henry died seised, & in which Alice has nothing, she says. Robert says that one John de Migeley, father of the said Henry, died seised of the said tenements, & that Ellen, his wife, was dowered therein & survived the said Henry; wherefore Alice has no right to bring an action for a third of the same. And, as regards the remaining two thirds of the tenements, after the vesture thereof had been carried, he granted Alice her dower therein as was right. Alice says her husband was seised of the tenements at his death, & demands an inquisition. The inquisition finds he was never seised thereof, & therefore she cannot recover her dower on the whole. Her fine of 6d for false claim is forgiven by the Steward, & she is to recover her dower in ⅔ of the said tenements from Robert.[97]

1333 - Robert Hode of Sowerby

[1333:]
Robert Hode and John Swan are amerced 2d each for not coming.[98]

1339 - Robert Hode junior of Sowerby

[1339:]
Robert Hode junior surrenders into the hand of the grave half an acre in Sourby, which is granted to Hugh son of Otto to hold to himself and his heirs; fine 6d. [99]

Richard Hood of Sowerby

Eleven entries in the printed court rolls for the period 1275 to 1313 concern Richard Hood of Sowerby:

  • 1274-11-22: Richard Hodde liable to a fine "for falsely and through hate presenting many trespasses against John de Miggeley and others, the Foresters of Sourby. [...] Respited until the Earl's coming." A Henry Urebrother to be "distrained for the like until he come to make satisfaction." Under heading: "Soureby".[100]
  • 1275-02-02: "Henry Urebrother and Richard Hodde remain under surety, as at the last Court, to answer the Earl as to a false presentment made by them against the Foresters of Soureby, until the Earl's coming." Under heading: "Soureby".[101]
  • 1275-02-02: Richard Hodde fined "for taking a heifer, which he says is his, out of the Earl's custody in the forest of Soureby". Under heading: "Soureby".[102]
  • 1275-05-23: Richard Hood and Henry Urebrother are fined for their false presentment. Under heading: "Sourby".[103]
  • 1275-07-13: "Henry Hourebrother and Richard Hodde complain of William and John de Noteschawe, Robert son of Roger, Richard de Estwode and Robert de Saltonstal, for trespass". Under heading: "Sourby".[104]
  • 1275-08-15: Henry Hourebrother and Richard Hodde implicate the four men just mentioned in the production of the writing against the foresters of Sowerby. They allege that they, Richard Hood and Henry Urebrother, were essentially only messengers in presenting the said accusations, and as they were heavily fined for their actions they now want compensation from the four men named. An inquisition finds for the plaintiffs. Under heading: "Sourby".[105]
  • 1285-01-13: Richard Hodde fined for taking six hazels; under heading: "Sourby".[106]
  • 1285-04-25: Richard Hodde fined for "trespass in le Bekynges"; under heading: "Soureby".[107]
  • 1286-09-08: Richard Hodde figures as pledge for Alice of Wyttcley, two of whose beasts have strayed.[108]
  • 1297-05-11: Richard Hodde surrenders one acre of land to John the Miller; under heading: "Soureby".[109]
  • 1313-10-06; court at Wakefield: Richard Hodde's suit of debt against Elias, son of Ivo, and Robert of Saltonstall respited until Halifax court turn.[110]
  • 1313-10-18; court at Halifax: Richard Hodde sues Elias, son of Ivo, and Robert of Saltonstall for debt and does not prosecute the suit. His fine for this is pardoned because he is old and blind.[111]


An "inquisition touching the evildoers in the Forest of Soureby" was held on 22 November 1274. The members of the panel swore that John de Migeley, one of the earl's foresters, who was charged with poaching a stag, had done no such thing but was "in all things a good and true man towards the Earl and all others." He had been charged also with receiving four oxen and 16 sheep whih were the chattels of Hugh of Barkeshere, a fugitive. The jury said what actually happened was that the king's coroner claimed them for the king's use. They further swore to the innocence of Philip le Waleys and Alan del Rodes, who had been charged with taking a stag and a kid. The stag, they said, had been taken by an employee of Stephen le Waleys. All the foresters of "Souresbyschire", who had been charged with "very many offences in the Forest, such as hunting, vert, and allowing pigs in the Forest for moneys of which the Earl gets no part", were innocent and "in all things good and true men towards the Earl and all others, and keep their bailiwick well in all respects." Finally they stated that the said foresters were also innocent of "having taken 16s. to conceal complaints, fines and attachments". This had been "presented against them through the hate of their enemies."[112]

Of course we cannot entirely rule out the possibility that there were more than one Richard Hodde in Sowerby at the time, but the population of Sowerby stood at a mere 1,743 in 1881,[113] and the medieval village can hardly have had a very large population. All the entries relating to the allegedly false accusations against the foresters of Sowerby must concern a single Richard Hodde, and as some of these associate him with Henry Urebrother, we must assume that the Richard Hodde mentioned in another entry where the two figure together is the same person. Very likely all the above entries refer to one and the same Richard Hodde. He was the father of John Hodde.

John Hood of Sowerby (I)

At least six court roll entries under the heading of Sowerby refer to a John Hood. In three of them he is referred to as John, son of Richard Hodde:

  • 1296-11-06; court at Halifax: John son of Richard Hodde successfully sues Adam son of Alice of Hipperholme for debt; Adam Migge is pledge; under heading: "Sourby".[114]
  • 1296-11-06; court at Halifax: John son of Richard Hodde is a pledge; under heading: "Sourby".[115]
  • 1296-11-06; court at Halifax: Similarly; under heading: "Sourby".[116]
  • 1297-05-11: John Hodde successfully claims 40d. from Adam Migge; under heading: "Soureby".[117]
  • 1297-06-24; court at Wakefield. John, son of Richard Hodde figures as a pledge; under heading: "Soureby".[118]
  • 1297-07-07; court at Wakefield. John Hodde figures twice as a pledge; under heading: "Soureby".[119]


He may also well be the John Hood concerned in these two records:


We cannot entirely rule out the possibility that two or three John Hoods might be involved, but at least three of these entries – those referring to John, son of Richard Hood – can be fairly safely assumed to refer to one and the same man. It is very likely, therefore, that we can thus reconstruct a bit of the family tree of the two Sowerby Robin Hoods: their father was this John Hood whose father, in turn, was the above Richard Hood. It is possible, but does not seem likely, that some of the court roll entries listed under John Hood of Wakefield below do in fact refer to the Sowerby man of that name.

John Hood of Sowerby (II)

Unless there were three Robert Hoods in Sowerby at this time, one of the two Roberts just mentioned in turn had a son named John:




The Hoods of Stanley

The court rolls examined so far include four entries relating to Robert Hood(s) of Stanley.

1315 - Robert Hoode of Stanley

[1315:]
[...] Robert the Leeper, 6d. for leasing the said ½ acre for 6 years to Robert Hoode, who pays 12d.[120]

1332 - Robert Hode of Stanley (1)

[1332:]
The inquisition between Thomas Hydebier and John Tyting and Robert Hode in a plea as to why they impleaded him in court Chris- [p. 142:] tian respited.[121]

1332 - Robert Hode of Stanley (2)

[1332:]
The inquisition between Thomas Hydebier and John Titing and Robert Hode in a plea of impleading Thomas in court Christian respited.[122]

1332 - Robert Hode of Stanley (3)

[1332:]
An inquisition finds that Robert Hode (6d) and John Tyting (3d), executors of the testament of Matilda Tyting, impleaded Thomas Hydebyer in court Christian, therefore amerced 9d.[123]

Adam Hood of Stanley

  • 1286-07-13; probably court at Wakefield. Adam Hod licensed "to take half a bovate of land in Stanley from Adam Balle".[124]



The Hoods of Wakefield

At least 17 court roll entries from the years 1313-31 are concerned with one or more Robert Hoods of Wakefield. In 1313 two persons are concerned, one just referred to as Robert Hodde, the other as "Robert Hodde of Wakefeud". This of course suggests that the first of them came from somewhere else than Wakefield, but I do not think we can be entirely certain of this.

The published court rolls I have examined so far do not reveal the ancestry of the Wakefield Robert Hood or, for that matter, that of his 1313 namesake of unknown abode. However, three other Hoods living in Wakefield are found in the court rolls, each of whom could be the father of the Wakefield Robert Hood.


Adam Hood of Wakefield

An Adam Hod appears in the court rolls from 1274 to 1314. He seems to have been a Wakefield man, but there is no indication of how he was related to the other Wakefield Hoods.

  • 1274-11-22; court at Wakefield. Adam Hod and 23 others, including Henry Hod, swear that they know nothing about the goods and chattels of John the Forester of Sowerby, who was killed. They do not know who has them, what has been done with them or who distributed them; under heading: "Wakefeud".[142]

Agnes Hodde is mentioned only once in the published rolls.

Henry de Hod

In 1339 John Milner was fined for drawing blood from Henry de Hod.[159] Since no locality is cited as headword for the paragraph in which this entry occurs, it is possible that it relates to Wakefield. However, since it is so much later than the floruit of Henry Hood of Wakefield, it most likely concerns another man. This is also suggested by the element 'de'.

Henry Hood of Wakefield

These three court roll entries relate to a Henry Hood of Wakefield. There is no indication of how he was related to the other Wakefield Hoods.

John Hood of Wakefield (I)

A John Hood lived in Wakefield by 1313. He sometimes sat on juries but was also himself now and then in trouble for various relatively minor transgressions. In 1339-40 the types of dubious acts for which he got into trouble are often suggestive of poverty. This micro-biography assumes that most or all of the entries listed below refer to a single individual. This seems likely but is hardly capable of being proved. The entry dated 26 July 1325 certainly refers to two men with the same name, for it notes that 'John Hode of Wakefeld' essoined by John Hode, clerk. For the latter, see John Hood of Wakefield (II) below.

  • 1313-10-12, court at Wakefield: John Hode is fined 12d. for blocking up "a pathway at the end of the town of Wakefeld, in Kergate, between Hesperode and chiterike".[163]

  • 1316; Friday in Whitsun week; court at Wakefield. John Hod is a member of a jury that sentences a thief to be hanged in the Whitsun week of that year. Judging from their names, the jury members are from Birstall, "Crosseland" (South Crossland), Ossett, Saltonstall, etc.[172]

Unless we believe both John Hood of Sowerby and John Hood of Wakefield sat on juries in 1316, it seems most natural to assume that all the entries just listed refer to the Wakefield man, but there is of course the possibility that the Sowerby and Wakefield John Hood were one and the same person. The man I have referred to as John Hood of Sowerby is in fact never explicitly connected with that town, but his two sons (or two of his sons) are, and cases concerning him are listed under that locality. One or both sons named Robert Hood was/were involved in property transactions there, one was injured there, and both were fined for animals straying into the wood there. Whether or not he should be identified with his namesake of Sowerby, the Wakefield John Hood could be the father of the Robert Hood of Wakefield who is mentioned in 1313 and 1314 (once each year) as well as 1315 and 1316 (twice each year), but of this we have no evidence whatsoever. It is not clear with which namesake, if any, we should identify the 'John Hode, clerk' by whom 'John Hode of Wakefeld' essoined on 26 July 1325 or, ultimately, which of them (if any) is the man whose life record in the manor court rolls is listed above. However, in cases such as this, adhering to the principle of parsimony is the only way to avoid arbitrariness. Two John Hoods occurring in the same record are of course two different men. The older of them should perhaps be identified wit his namesake of Sowerby. So in the absence of evidence to the contrary we should assume that no more than two or three John Hoods are concerned.

John Hood of Wakefield (II)

This man is identified as 'John Hode, clerk' in the entry dated 1325-07-26, for which see below. Also see John Hood of Wakefield (I) above. He is connected with Wakefield solely through his namesake of that town essoining by him. This could be a case of a son acting in support of his ageing father, but assuming the records listed below refer to him, it must be said that he often acted in a similar capacity in cases concerning people whose surname he did not share. The chief basis for identifying John Hoods occuring in records dating from 1339-40 with either the first or the second John Hood has been the fact that one was a peasant, the other a clerk. Some may want to move some of the items in the present list to that under John Hood of Wakefield (I) and vice versa. Since several of the entries listed below appear in the court rolls under the headword 'Sandal', it is interesting to note that the 1323-08-05 entry under John Hood of Wakefield (I) above has him essoin by 'John de Sandale'. Perhaps, therefore, we should identify the latter with the subject of this paragraph and rename him John Hood of Sandal. It must be noted, however, that the headings or headwords under which the below records are found in the MS refer to localities where the person(s) with whom the cases are concerned live or own land. They do not refer to the home localties of those acting as pledge or by whom someone essoins or is represented. It should also be noted that all the cases in question were dealth with at the court at Wakefield and that the fact that John Hood of Wakefield (II) was a clerk may account for his presence at court in all the cases in which he was not directly concerned. Therefore only the entry dated 1339-07-02 actually suggests that John Hood of Wakefield (II) may have been connected with Sandal.

A tale of thieves

John Hood of Wakefield was on a jury which c. 25 July 1316 dealt with an intriguing case:

Richard del Wyndhill — taken as a suspected thief, because he came with a message from several thieves to the wife of the late William de Stodlay [? begging] victuals for the said thieves, and because he threatened the woman to burn her unless she sent food and money by him, and fled when the Earl's foresters tried to attach him for this, and shot at the said foresters with arrows — being asked what he has to say, denies the charges, and refers himself to the court. An inquisition is taken by the oaths of . . . . . . Thorneton, John de la More, William del Okes, Thomas del Bellehous, Richard de Salsa-mara, Richard de Birstall, Robert de Heyrode, Robert de la Grene, Richard de Crosseland, John Hood of Wakefeld, John, s. of Hugh de Northland, and Richard de Counhale — by whom he is found not guilty of frequenting the company of thieves, etc.[244]

This occurs in a section apparently dealing with cases from 'Hipperum', i.e. Hipperholme, c. 3.25 km east of Halifax. Salsa-mara is Saltmarsh.[245] Whether or not the widow was telling the truth, her story sounds more credible than many outlaw tales.

Gude Robert of Clifton

At the court and tourn held at Rastrick/Brighouse on Tuesday 11 October 1339, Gude Robert de Clifton and Thomas son of John de Newal were fined for drawing blood from each other. Probably but not certainly in consequence of this, Richard del Rokes raised the hue and cry on Gude Robert and his fellows, who were amerced (fined) 12d.[246] The Latin phrase 'et sociis suis', which is of course the original reading, is as neutral and as wide in its application as the editor's English rendering, so it gives us no warrant for taking these entries as evidence that Gude Robert was a gang leader. Perhaps he was simply an ordinary peasant with a slightly unusual name who chose to settle a trivial disagreement with Thomas in a very physical manner, bringing along relatives and/or neighbours just in case resistance turned out to be tougher than expected. Perhaps this was something (even) more sinister; after all this happened during a time when large criminal fraternities such as the Coterel gang and the Folvilles of Ashby Folville were active. We shall certainly be keeping an eye out for Gude Robert of Clifton when sifting through medieval records. For now we may note that while his name is not quite as convincing, as glimpsed through these brief records he seems a much more Robin Hood-like character than any of the known tenants of the manor of Wakefield actually named Robert Hood.

Robert Hoods known from other sources

Here follow records other than manor court rolls relating to Robert Hoods who lived in areas with land belonging to the Manor of Wakefield.


[26 Dec. 1377:]
To the sheriff of Middlesex. Writ of supersedeas, by mainprise of John Bather and John Wylde of Hertfordshire, Thomas Belgrave of London and Robert Ode of Yorkshire, in favour of William de Bereford at suit of the king for his ransom for disseising John de Langeford of tenements in Harewe and Great Stanmere, and Mary who was wife of William de Langeford of tenements in those towns.[247]
