Notities over Sir Robert II Corbet of Wattlesborough and Moreton Corbet

[Jane Williams Flank.ged]

Robert Corbet (II), son and heir of Thomas.  He was born Dec 25, 1304, and was consequently under 12 years of age when the Nomina Villarum of 1316 marks him as Lord of the Vill of Moreton Corbet.  In 1326 he was still without degree of knighthood.  His public life was nearly coextensive with the long reign of the third Edward, for he died on Dec 3, 1375.  Pursuant to a Writ of NOv 26, 1355, an Inquest reported that Robert Corbet's wish to have view of frank-pledge in Moreton Corbet would only injure the Crown to the extent of about 3s per annum, which was the average amount of amercements incurred at the Sheriff's two Tourns by Corbet's men, for breached of the assize of bread and beer, for bloodshed, homsoken, and forestall.

This Robert Corbet purchased Shawbury from Giles de Erdinton, but without that Royal Lisense which was necessary to the transfer of tenure in capite.  On Oct 30, 1359, he had petitioned the Crown to excuse this act, and to allow him to enfeoff Hugh, Vicar of Shawbury, and William, Parson of Upton, in the same, who, being seized, were to settle the Manor on Robert Corbet, Elizabeth his wife, and their heirs.  The matter was referred to an Inquest ad quod damnum, which reported the Manor to be held by half a knight's fee, and to be worth £3, 6s, 8d per annum, and not more, seeing that it had already, by Royal License, been dismembered of several tenants.  On April 16, 1363, a Fine was levied, whereby Hugh le Yonge, Clerk, Thomas de Lee, and Hugh Parrok, Vicar of Shawbury (Trustees), settle the Manor of Moreton Corbet on Sir Robert Corbet and Elizabeth his wife, for their lives with remainder to their son Fulk, and the male heirs of his body, with remainder to Roger, Fulk's brother, and the heirs of his body, with ulitmate remainder to the right heirs of Robert Corbet.

An Inquest, held on May 25, 1369, found Shawbury to be held in capite for a sixth of a knight's fee, and to be worth 100s per annum, and that it would not damage the Crown if Robert Corbet, of Morton and Elizabeth his wife, were to convey the same to Thomas Grey, Vicar of Morton, and Thomas Lee, of Sondbache, who were to entail the same. The Inquest found, moreover, that Moreton Toret and Boleye would remain to Robert Corbet, and that Moreton was held of Richard de Peshall, as lord of Chetwynd, though his wife Joan, daughter and heir of her father John de Chetwynd by knight's service, and was worth £10 per annum, and the Boleye was held in socage of the Abbot of Salop, and was worth 40s per annum.  This Sir Richard de Peshall was ancestor of Sir Hugh Peshall, as we have already seen.  In October 1372 a Fine was levied, whereby Thomas Grey, Vicar of Morton, and Thomas de Lee, of Southbache, settle Shawbury Manor of Sir Robert Corbet and Elizabeth his wife, for the longest of their lives, with remainder to Fulk, their son, and his heirs male, with remainder to Roger, Fulk's brother, and his heirs male, with remainder to the right heirs of Sir Robert.  This Fine was levied by Precept of the King.

Robert Corbet had three sons, Thomas, Fulk, and Roger. ; All three are said to have been the sons of his wife Elizabeth, but indeed, were there not some proof or that fact, we should have supposed that Thomas, certainly the eldest son, was by a previous marriage.  Thomas died long before his father, leaving an only daughter Elizabeth, born about 1357, and married, in or before 1375 to Sir John de Ipstones. It was evidently the object of Sir Robert and Elizabeth Corbet to disinherit this Elizabeth., Robert's granddaughter and right heir. The Inquest, ordered Dec 11, 1375, and taken Jan 9, 1376, gives the said Elizabeth as Robert Corbet's coheir, but also give a list of his estates and their entails, which shows how little she can have succeeded.
