| Description (Repository) | grant of land without and within [ludgate] to provide light for st. mary's altar in westminster abbey 1187-9 [see also 13845, 13846] [[[[[westch 387. Confirmation to the Lady Altar in the church of St Peter of Westminster, in pure and perpetual alms, to provide lights, by Rose the cushion-maker, widow of William Turpin of King Henry's Chamber, for her soul, that of 'her lord' [William] and of all their ancestors, of all her land outside Ludgate, with its stone houses, which William confirmed to her by charter. This land was held by Osmund carter and Ermengarde his wife, who made William their heir in the court of H II and gave him the deeds. The proctor of the Lady Altar will hold the land freely, saving the service due to the nuns of Clerkenwell, and to Roger de Friville and Ralph de Rosei and their respective heirs. Rose has offered upon the Lady Altar this present charter and those of 'her lord'. [Temp. John, ante Jan. 1214] Sciant presentes et futuri quod ego Roesia la custurere, que fui uxor Willelmi Turpin de camera Domini Regis Henrici, pro salute anime mee et pro anima domini mei et omnium antecessorum nostrorum, dedi et concessi et hac presenti carta mea confirmavi Deo et altari Beate Virginis Marie in ecclesia Beati Petri Westmonasterii in puram et perpetuam elemosinam ad luminaria eiusdem altaris administranda, totam terram meam extra Ludgate, cum domibus lapideis et omnibus pertinenciis suis, quam scilicet terram predictus dominus meus Willelmus Turpin mihi pro servicio meo dedit et carta sua confirmavit; illam videlicet terram quam Osmundus caretarius et Ermengarda uxor eius tenuerunt; et de qua terra predictum Willelmum dominum meum fecerunt heredem in curia Domini Regis Henrici, cartas et munimenta omnia que de predicta terra habuerunt illi resignantes. Habendam et tenendam procuratori predicti altaris Beate Virginis Marie, libere, quiete, integre et honorifice, absque omni reclamatione omnium heredum meorum vel domini mei, sicut carta predicti domini mei testatur, salvo servicio monialium de Clerchenewelle, et Rogeri de Frivile et heredum suorum, et Radulfi de Rosei et heredum suorum. Hanc autem cartam meam et cartas et munimenta predicti domini mei de prefata terra super altare Beate Virginis Marie obtuli, et prefate ecclesie in perpetuum resignavi. Ut autem hec mea donatio stabilis et rata permaneat earn presentis scripti testimonio et sigilli mei appositione roboravi.

MSS: (1) WAM 13845. 20.6 x 13.7 cm; t.u. 1.7 cm. Seal: on tag; green; 5.3 x 3.3 cm; standing female figure facing left, holding a fleur-de-lys; legend: + SIGILL. ROHE.I.S DE BLAIS. Endorsed: (a) Ludgate capella v (14C). (b) Carta Roysie la custerere de quadam parte terre cum pertinentiis data capelle ad luminariorum sustentationem extra Ludgate London'. WAD, f. 560v-561. Date: Attestations and hand; later than 386 but within the term of office of Abbot Ralph Arundel, who granted this land to Alexander of Swerford (327). William Turpin was still active c. Michaelmas 1199 (PR 1 John, 225), and possibly as late as 1206 (PR 8 John, 120), but became a monk before 29 Sept. 1209 (PR 11 John, 152). Already, in 1204, a plaintiff named Cecily claimed as dower land in Dorset, conferred on her by William Turpin, formerly her husband, but this was contested on the grounds that the couple had never been married (Curia Regis Rolls III, 150). | ||
