1291 Proof of Age of Joan's Son, William
A Writ issued 24 October, 19 Edward I [1291] ordered the escheator to take the proof of age of William son and heir of John de Hardredeshill alias Hardredeshull, who said he was born in the county of Lincoln and seeks his lands &c. which are in the wardship of John de Monte Alto. The escheator's Return said that he warned John de Monte Alto but he didn't attend sending instead a letter patent from him showing that he had restored the lands &c. to the said William, and quit claimed. Below are some of the statements made at the Proof of Age held at Lincoln on Monday before St. Edmund the King and Martyr, 19 Edward I:^[1]

• Thomas de Nevill, knight, says the said William was born at Scotton in co. Lincoln, and was 22 at Palm Sunday, 19 Edw. I, which he knows because he was in the service of Sir Philip de Nevill when the said John married Joan the said Philip's daughter and mother of the said William, and when the said William was born, and 18 years ago the said Philip died at Easter, 1 Edw. I, and then the said William was 4 years of age.
• William Kissing of Hibaldestowe agrees, for he was at the burial of Sir Philip de Nevill, grandfather of the said William, where he saw the said William and saw well that he was 4 years of age; in the same year he was impleaded at Lincoln by Ralph Northyby his neighbour.
• Simon le Taillur of Appelby agrees, and knows it because Sir John father of the said William about Whitsunday, 2 Edw. I, when the sickness of which he died had hold of him, passed by his house in Appelby, when they spoke of his heir, and then it was said that he had a son and heir named William, who was 5 years of age at Palm Sunday then last past.
