APPENDIX VII
[Library of the Dean and Chapter of Peterborough: from the
Goxhill Ledger, ff. 5d. and 6, no. 25].
[This is the final concord made in the court of the lord the king at Lincoln,
on the Thursday next before the feast of St. Barnabas the Apostle, in the first year
of king Richard [7 June, 1190]; between Alexander de Poyntona and Henry de
Gant, concerning twelve bovates of land, of which six bovates are of Robert de
Gant's demesne, and one toft which was Ernebern's, and one toft which was Hugh
Totel's, and one toft which was Outi's, and one toft which was Lewin's, and one
toft which was Juliana's, to which tofts the six other bovates belong, with the
appurtenances.
Whereupon there was a plea between them in the court of the lord the king; to
wit, that Henry and his heirs shall hold the land with the appurtenances of
Alexander and his heirs; rendering yearly to Alexander and his heirs four marks
of silver at two terms, to wit, at the Nativity two marks, and at the feast of
St. Botolph two marks, and doing therefor the service of half a knight for all
service.]

[This is the final concord made in the court of the lord the king at Lincoln, on
the Tuesday next after the exaltation of the Holy Cross, in the sixth year of the
reign of king Richard [20 September, 1194]; between Alexander de Poyntona,
demandant, and Henry de Gant, tenant, concerning twelve bovates of land in
Hirnham with the appurtenances, which Henry held of Alexander by the service
of four marks yearly to be rendered therefor, and by the service of the fee of half
a knight.
Whereupon there was a plea between them in the court of the lord the king; to
wit, that Henry has rendered to Alexander seven bovates of land of the aforesaid
twelve bovates, and has quitclaimed them to him and his heirs for ever from
himself and his heirs, namely, those six bovates which Arenibern held with the
tofts which belong to the same land, and one bovate which was Hugh Tutel's with
the toft which was Julian's [sic]. And for this concord and fine Alexander has
released from himself and his heirs to Henry and his heirs the service of four marks
for ever, and he has granted to Henry five bovates of land of the aforesaid twelve
bovates, to wit, two bovates of the demesne in Marewde and in the park, and
one bovate which was Julian's with Hugh Tutell's toft, and the toft which was
Lewin's with the bovate which belongs to that toft, and the toft which was Outi's
with the bovate which belongs to the toft: to hold to Henry and his heirs of
Alexander and his heirs wholly, fully, and by inheritance, by the free military
service which belongs to those five bovates, whereof those five bovates and the
aforesaid seven make the service of the fee of half a knight.]
