Description

Record of the plea between Bishop Wulfstan of Worcester and Abbot Walter of Evesham, concerning the bishop’s claim against the abbot for sake and soke, burial dues and church-scot and suits and customs which should be due to the church of Worcester in the hundred of Oswaldslow, as well as the king’s geld service and military service on land and sea from the 15 hides at Hampton and the 4 hides at Bengeworth, which the abbot ought to hold from the bishop as other tenants of the church held freely for every service due to the king and bishop.
