Bulkley of Chedle 1250-1450

Dear mjcar:

Reference my question whether it is possible that the
son Richard could be a minor in the many property
transactions between 1307 and 1320, the wording of the
following two Charters are as follows:

Charter 39c (1308):

Thomas filius Hugonis filii Pymme de Mediowico dedit
Roberto de Buckley et Felicie exori eius et Ricardo
filio predicti Roberti et heredibus etc,

further on:

habendos sibi et heredibus, percipiendos et midsomer
et Martinmas, et si predicti Robertus Felicia et
Ricardus sufficientes districciones super terras
predictas pro redditu predicto inuenire non possunt,
tunc licitum erit illis distringere in quadam salina
mea iacente inter altam uiam ex una parte et salinam
Petri de Bulkely ex altera.

Charter 53c (1320):

Petrus Bras de Mediowico relaxauit Roberto de Bulkeley
et Felicie uxori eius et Ricardo filio eorum et
heredibus totum ius in una placea terre in Mediowico
iacente in latitudine inter terram Gilberti filii Wele
et semitam iuxta doetum Mediiwici, in longitudine a
uia regali usque semitam ducentem de Wychefurlong
prope terram Johannis Widde

Charters 43b and 46d (1315-1326):

Both are similarly worded:

Robto de Bulkilegh et Felicie exori ejus Ricardo filio
eundem

I would be interested to understand how it is possible
to determine whether an individual is a minor or not
in such legal documents.

Thank you for your offer to give the matter some
thought.

Sincerely Yours,

Paul Bulkley

Paul

Others here are far more expert than I in this field, and I hope they
will add their knowledge.

It would seem to me that, as Richard as named together with his parents
as the (passive) receipient of grants, that he is not necessarily an
adult in law at the time of these charters - all we can say is that he
was alive.

Determining whether someone mentioned in a legal document has reached
his majority is difficult. If, for example, he is making a grant of
land, then he will normally not be a minor, for legal capacity for the
same would likely rest with his guardians etc until he came of age, but
as we have discussed recently in relation to the de Lacys, minority
would apparently not have been a bar to witnessing a document.

Cheers

Michael
