19/12/1396Latchingdon,Dengie Hundred,EssexWilliam Sweyn fined 3d for trespass on the lord's pasture with 3 cows and 2 horses. The jury presents that Alice, the wife of William Sweyn holds a tenement called 'Crouchers' which is in ruins; she is given until St Margareta to repair under pain of 12d. The jury also presents that William Sweyn who held of the lord a messuage and 30 acres of bond land called 'Swaynestenement' with appurtenances in Lawling [manor; in Latchingdon] on the day he died; no heriot is payable because he held the tenement jointly with his wife Alice. John, son of the said William thus is the next heir; he is nine years old. And afterwards comes the said Alice and shows a copy of the charter with which the same William and Alice took from the lord a messuage and 30 acres of customary land to hold by the same William and Alice and their heirs. The grant was made in a court dated 20 July 1384. The jury confirms that the messuage and the land is called 'Swaynestennement' and that this tenement is the one in the grant. The lord therefore grants the land to Alice to hold by the rod at will for life for the usual rents and services. No entry fine is payable and no fealty has to be done because it has been given and done before.ERO, D/DBr M30

After her death the tenement shall pass on to John, son and heir of the said William, and after John's death the tenement shall pass to Robert, son of the said William and brother of John and from there to any surviving male heir ... A horse, worth 20s, is paid as a heriot and Alice pays 8s entry fine and does fealty for the tenement.ERO, D/DBr M30
