Salve Jill!

1227
Warwick and Leicester - Stephen of Sedgrave, William of Curly, Walter of Eyvill, William Basset and Henry of Nafford have been appointed justices for hearing cases in the counties of Warwick and Leicester. And they are required, at a date and place which the viscomes  [literally 'viscount' I think - medieval jargon beyond me - possibly 'deputy']shall arrange, to meet to hear the mentioned cases, and to make etc. [judgement?]. The king as witness, at Westminster, 20th June. And the viscomes is commanded to inform them of the designated day and place  and bring before them all prisoners whom he holds in his bailey. And he shall inform all those [inhabitants?] of his county who have been charged and arrested, that they shall be tried there on the charges brought against them.

1230
The king greets all etc. [ the rest is a  declaration that the whole of Richard, son of Hugh's matters and possessions, he having  departed overseas on the king's business, is placed under the protection of the king. King as witness, Portsmouth, April 20]. Hugh of Eyvill and Robert of C[o?]urtenay hold identical letters.

For "vicecomes" try "sheriff"

Hi Pinot et al,

Thank you so much!  Walter was steward of the Earl of Chester and Justice Itinerant for Warwickshire & Leicestershire - that much I know - but I haven't a clue who Hugo/Hugh was or where he fits into the overall picture, although I'm certain he does!  It's interesting to note he had a son, Richard - another one to track down!

Thanks again.
