John de Hardreshull responded that he is the tenant of 3 acres of the land from which Robert claims the said rent, that he holds it jointly with his wife Maud and that he held it on the day on which the writ was issued, 20 June 21 Edward III [1347], which certain Maud is named in the writ. The date of the assize was Monday next after the feast of St Peter in Chains in 21 Edward III [6 August 1347]. The jury found that John de Hardreshull held of Robert and awarded damages to Robert.
