1485 Quitclaim - Oliver Selby of Branxton, Northumberland

[gloveg]

Could someone please help me with interpreting the latin of this 1485 Quitclaim of Robert Collingwood of Ellington and Oliver Selby of Branxton.
I have attached it in two parts which connect side by side.
Thanks,
Gerelle Lovegrove.

I've deleted what I said.  The penny has dropped that the two images are side to side!  I will have a go at translating it.  It may take a day or so.

Summary:

Robert Collyngwod, of Eslyngton, in the county of Northumberland, gentleman, sends greetings to everyone who will see or hear this writing.  He releases any claim he has, had, or will have in future, on behalf of himself and his heirs, in favour of Oliver Selby, gentleman, his heirs and assigns, to a tenement with lands, pastures, etc., lying in the town of Branxton in Glendale, in the county of Northumberland, in which Thomas Sta-erd lately dwelt, with all appurtenances.

[I have struggled with the surname of this Thomas.  It looks like Sta-erd.]

The date is 4 August in a year of the reign of Richard III, but the number in the reign seems to have been truncated.  Or is primo (the first) understood?

[horselydown86]

The date is:

...quarto die mensis Augusti Anno regni Regis Ric(ard)i t(er)cij post conquestum Anglie t(er)cio

Therefore:  4 August in the third year of Richard III ie 1485.

The surname might be Starerd, with the form of the first r being one which can be found a few times in Gerelle's 1476 Grant.

Examples are turrim in line 2 and p(ro)creatis near the end of line 5.  I didn't see another of this form in this 1485 document however.

Many thanks, horselydown86.  I missed the tercii.

I wondered if the surname could be Stanerd, as there is a name Stannard, but I don't really see that letter as a "n".

Nor do I.  In theory it could be a v but at this time a v should have a much taller left arm.

Thank you both for your help with this Quitclaim. Yes the date of the quitclaim is 4 August 1485. However, the wording of the description of this document given by the National Archives led me to believe that it was Oliver Selby who was releasing his claim on lands in Branxton. Instead, it look as if he was acquiring more lands. Thanks for clearing that up.
Cheers, Gerelle.

Robert Collyngwod writes in the first person, and it is clear that he is releasing his claim in favour of Oliver Selby.
