Woman is robbed of lands following the death of her husband at the siege of Alnwick, 1474

Partial transcript

Anneys Wynslow states that her husband, Thomas Wynslow, died in the king’s service at the siege of Alnwick and shows that they were both seised lawfully of land and tenements in Eldersfield, Longdon and Chaceley Hole in fee tail, and afterwards Thomas Wynslow granted the same to certain people in fee, who, when seised, enfeoffed Ralph and Isabel Seymour with the same in tail with remainder to Humphrey and Elizabeth Seymour, and then the right heirs of Thomas. But now Richard Croftus wrongfully holds the same by his might and strength for ten years or more, and Anneys is of insufficient power to pursue her remedy by the common law, and Croftus refuses to restore the same despite Anneys having showed her evidences. Wynslow requests that Croftus be sent before the prince’s council and cause him to restore her to her right and possession in all the lands and tenements with all the arrears and profits.
