Banco Roll No. 9, Tower Records, May and June 1239

Warw. Fraricus Dicheford was attached to answer the complaint of Vivan de Standon, that he did not hold to the fine levied in the court of King Henry, the grandfather of the Kind, before the Justices Itinerant at Oxford, between Adam de Standon, the grandfather of Vivian, whose heir he is, and Robert de Dicheford*, the father of the said Fraricus, whose heir he is, respecting half the manor of Dicheford. And the said Vivian complained that whereas the said manor should remain to the said Robert, father of Fraricus, and his heirs for the service of a knight's fee and 4s. yearlys, the said Fraricus had detained the service of half the fee, viz., for marks and 40d. of divers scutages.

Fraricus acknowledged the fine, and conceded the service emanded and arrears from the time that the castle of Bedford had been besieged.

Ditchford Frary was held in 1086 by Robert de Stafford, and of him by Brion; it was assessed at 2 hides, and had formerly been held by Leuric [V.C.H. Warw. i, 329]. The overlordship descended in the Stafford family [Chan. Inq. p.m. 10 Ric. II, no. 38; 22 Ric. II, no. 46; 38-9 Hen. VI, no. 59]. Brion, apparently the ancestor of the family of Standon [Wm. Salt Soc. n.s. vi, 7], had been succeeded by 1166 by Robert son of Ralph, who held of Robert de Stafford 7 fees, of which 2/3 fee was held by Roger de Dicheford [Red Bk. of Exch. 265]. In 1185 Adam de Standon was impleading Roger for ½ knight's fee in Ditchford [Pipe R. Soc. xxxiv, 104]. Adam died between 1194 and 1199, and his son Robert was dead by 1208, leaving an heir under age [Wm. Salt Soc. (1911), 394]. This heir was presumably Vivian de Standon, against whom Hervey de Stafford brought a suit in 1230 [Cal. Close, 1227-31, p. 392]. Hervey claimed that Vivian should render service of a knight's fee for his 2 hides in Ditchford, but in 1232 the service was fixed at half a fee [Feet of F. (Dugd. Soc. xi), 478]. Vivian still held the mesne lordship in 1242 [Bk. of Fees, 950], and on his death in 1250.
