[47] WALTER DE BOYNTON [1327], heir to his brother John de Boynton (IV). An order was issued in 1327, whereby the Escheator, Simon de Grymesby was not to intermeddle further with the lands of John de Boynton, and to restore the issues thereof, as the king learns by inquisition taken by the escheator that John held no lands in chief of the king at his death, by reason whereof the custody of his lands ought to pertain to him, but that he held divers lands of other lords by various services, and that Walter de Boynton his brother is his next heir and is of full age.

Walter cannot have lived long after this, for the same year another order is issued whereby the property is to be delivered to another brother of John, named Roger.

ROGER DE BOYNTON [1327-1350?], brother of Walter de Boynton (VI), and heir to his brother. An order was issued 19th March, 1327, to deliver to him the property of his late brother John, namely, one and a half bovates of land in Hunmanby and certain lands in Boynton and Rudstone, which were taken into the King's hands by reason of John's death, and to restore the issues of the tenements in Boynton and Rudstone, as the king learns by Inquisition taken by the escheator that John held the premises on the day of his death in fee tail of Robert (Roberti Roberti) de Burton, vicar of the church of Boynton, and that they ought by the form of the grant to remain to the aforesaid Roger and to the heirs of his body, and that the tenements in Hunmanby are held of the King in chief by the service of a fortieth part of a knight's fee, and that the tenements in Boynton and Rudstone are not held of him, and the king has taken Roger's homage for the tenements in Hunmanby, and has rendered them to him.
