Brand: A writ of Entry sur disseisin was brought against William of Leatherhead, alleging that he had only gained title to land through John of Langley and his wife Margaret, to whom John Lovel had granted the land, who had only gained his title through the disseisin of Isolda, late abbess of Godstow. William was about to lose the land by default. John of Langley appeared and claimed William was only a life tenant and he held the reversion and asked to be received to defend the land in his place. Once he had been received he challenged the writ as misstating the chain of title, since William's grant had been from John and his wife Ela. The abbess counterpleaded that he had only been received by the court to defend the right and therefore could not challenge the writ. He then waived the challenge and instead vouched John Lovel. John Lovel was summoned and appeared but John of Langley defaulted. His wife Ela then appeared and asked to be received in turn to defend her right to the land and showed the charter granting her the land and was received and again vouched John Lovel. The enrolment records the sequel: John Lovel's eventual appearance and her production of his father's charter granting the land to her and her issue to prove his obligation of warranty; John's warranty and his taking issue with the abbess on whether or not her predecessor had been disseised; the jury's finding that her predecessor had never been in such seisin that she could have been disseised.
