Description:
Final Concord : William son of Richard of Hoghwyk and Beatrice his wife, plaintiffs, and by Robert of Pinington, and Simon son of Richard of Hoghwyk, deforceant -- a moiety of the manor of Hoghwyk
Date: 29 Sep. 1317
Held by: Lancashire Archives, not available at The National Archives
Language: English
Notes: In this "Final Concord," William will end up with the moiety [half] of the manor of Hoghwyk. The document is a legal loop-the-loop designed to settle the inheritance in a way that cannot be challenged later. Both parents are alive and orchestrating this. Here is how that sentence actually works:
1. The Plaintiffs [The "Future" Owners] — William is the primary plaintiff.The text describes him as "William son of Richard of Hoghwyk and Beatrice his wife." Grammatically, "Beatrice his wife" refers to Richard's wife [William's mother], identifying William's lineage. William is the one suing to "gain" the property.
2. The Deforceants [The "Temporary" Owners] — Robert of Pinington and Simon [William's brother]. Even though Simon is a child, he is acting as a feoffee [a legal placeholder]. Richard likely "gave" the land to Simon and Robert first, so that William could "sue" them to get it back.
3. The Result — Because William is the plaintiff and the court has reached a "Final Concord" [a final agreement], the court is officially recognizing that the moiety of the manor belongs to William. By naming William's parents [Richard and Beatrice] in his title, the document confirms he is the rightful heir of that specific line. This was the 14th-century version of title insurance: by having a court "order" Simon to give the land to William, nobody — not even Simon when he grew up — could ever claim the land wasn't legally William's. Naming the mother often also serves to extinguish any dower/life interest she might claim, so it also might bar Beatrice from later asserting a right over that share. However, I don’t think that is the case as she is not named as a party, but just to identify the plaintiff. Adam may still be alive if he transfered the property to Richard.
