CORNWALL. Traverse.
[Traverse: ms fragmentary.]
An inquisition taken at Lostwithiel on 28 January 1446 [430 above] found among other things that
John Trenewyth, esquire , died seised of a moiety of the manor of Bodannan in demesne as of fee,
held of the king in chief by knight service; that he died on 26 November 1444; and that John
Trenewyth was his son and next heir, aged 18 years, 11 weeks, and 2 days at his father·Äôs death.
Concerning which John Colshull, knight , now comes before the king in Chancery at Westminster,
by John Nayler his attorney, in the octave of Trinity, 1448. He says that the whole manor of
Bodannan is held of the said John Colshull by knight service; and that John Trenewyth, esquire,
held the said moiety of the manor in demesne as of fee, of the above John, of his manor of
Manely, by knight service, viz. by homage, fealty, and scutage of 20s. when it runs at 40s.,
more when more, and less when less. John Colshull was seised of these services as of fee and
right, delivered by John Trenewyth, esquire, as by his true tenant. John Colshull holds the
manor of Manely of the king by knight service. John Trenewyth died on 26 November 1444 seised as
above, and John Trenewyth, his son and heir, was then under age. After the death of John
Trenewyth the father, John Colshull seized the body of John Trenewyth the son, and the moiety of
the manor. He was seised thereof until he was unjustly expelled by force of the above
inquisition, 430, and by colour of royal letters patent n233 to John Nanfan, esquire , granting
him the custody of the moiety, during the minority of John Trenewyth, together with the marriage
of John [CPR 1446·Äì52, p. 51]. John Trenewyth the father did not hold any parcel of the manor of
Bodannan of the king in chief by knight service, as stated in 430, or in any other way. Nor did
he hold any other lands or tenements of the king in chief by knight service. There is no manor
or moiety of a manor called the manor of Bodannan in the county, except that specified in 430.
John Colshull therefore prays that the letters patent of wardship to John Nanfan be revoked and
annulled, that the king·Äôs hand be removed from the custody of the heir and of the moiety, and
that he be restored to possession of the heir, his marriage, and the moiety, with the issues and
profits from the death of John Trenewyth the father. [In C 44/29/18 the plea continues as
follows.] The sheriff of Cornwall was ordered, by a writ close dated at Westminster, 1 July
1448, to summon John Nanfan to be before the king in Chancery, in the quindene of Michaelmas
next, to show why possession should not be restored to John Colshull , and to receive the
consideration of the court. John Nanfan was summoned by William Dirlyng and John Drayton . On
that day John Colshull appeared by John Nayler his attorney, and John Nanfan did not come. By
advisement of justices, serjeants-at-law, attorneys, and others of counsel, it was considered
that the letters patent should be annulled and revoked. John Vampage , who sued for the king,
said that John Trenowyth, esquire, held the moiety of the manor of the king in chief, as in 430,
and sought judgement and inquiry by a jury. John Colshull sought judgement and inquiry by a
jury. They were given a day before the king in the octave of Purification next. The sheriff was
to summon 24 men of the neighbourhood of Bodannan who were not of the affinity of John Colshull.

He held the following jointly with Margaret his wife, who survives, by grant of Henry de la
Pomeray, esquire , and William Cloueneburgh, vicar of the parish church of Berry Pomeroy, to
John and Margaret and the heirs begotten between them, with remainder to the right heirs of
John. The charter was shown to the jurors.
?Alston, 2 messuages, 2 carucates of land, and 60 a. meadow, annual value 33s. 4d., held of
William Wadham , service unknown. They are of no more value because Richard Yerd, esquire , has
an annual rent of 6 marks issuing therefrom, at the four principal yearly terms, for the term of
his life, by what title the jurors do not know.
Date of death and heir as 430. He is the heir of the bodies of John and Margaret.
