342. Final concord made between the Chapter of Westminster and Peter of Sutton and his wife Margaret, concerning land in Dowgate (London), of which she is co-heiress, formerly belonging to Sermann and now occupied by Robert of Marlborough, from which the monks used to receive 8s. annually. Mirabel, daughter of Oger the dapifer, will hold the land for life, without payment. After her d., or her entry into religion, or her vacating the land for any other reason, Peter and his wife will render 4s. annually in alms, payable to the monks' chamber, for that part of the land which they hold. The other 4s. rent will be rendered by John Tresgod and his wife Amy and their heirs, as their cirograph bears witness. Husting Court, London [1179-81]
Hec est finalis concordia inter monachos Westmonasterii et Petrum de Sutton' et Margaretam uxorem eius, facta apud London' in Hustingo, existentibus tunc vicecomitibus Willelmo filio Sabel et Reginaldo veteri, et aliis baronibus Lundon' presidentibus, de una terra in Duvegate, que fuit Sermanni, in qua mansit Rob[ertus] de Marlebergia, de qua solebant idem [sic] monachi antiquitus viij solidos percipere per annum, videlicet: quod Mirable, que fuit flu a Ogeri dapiferi, tenebit eandem terram tota vita sua libere sine censu. Post decessum autem ipsius Mirable, aut si forte ad religionem se transtulit, vel quocumque modo terra illa de manu ipsius exierit, memoratus Petrus et uxor eius, et heredes eorum, vel quicumque earn tenuerint, reddent annuatim pro parte illius terre quam tenebunt iiij solidos inperpetuum camere prescriptorum monachorum in elemosinam, scilicet: ad Pascham ij solidos; ad Festum Sancti Michaelis ij solidos. Nec amplius poterunt monachi de parte Petri et uxoris sue sive heredum suorum exigere quam illos quatuor solidos per annum, sed Johannes Tresgod et uxor eius Amia et heredes eorum alios quatuor solidos monachis persolvent, sicut cirographum eorum testatur. Et illu actum est consilio et assensu Margarete uxoris [sue] supradicti Petri, que est heres ipsius terre.
