Document 3/230/1 (Kel. Lib., no. 189A)
- Description
- William, called of Folkerton, son and heir of Adam, called of Folkerton, states that Adam, previously called of Folkerton, his father, unjustly detained a parcel of land in the tenement of Lesmahagow which is called Poniel (LAN) which was and is by right belonging to his lords, the abbot and convent of Kelso. For this illicit detention and unjust occupation, the said Adam, his father, was bound by sentence of excommunication before the land of Scotland. Hence, William, wishing to avoid the said sentence of excommunication and also to liberate the soul of the said Adam, his father, from the same sentence, recognises and admits that Adam, his father, and he, himself, have no right, or are able to have no right, in the land of Poniel with its pertinents. Thenceforth, he renounces the said land of Poneil and whatever rights in it he had, if he had or was able to have them, or his ancestors had, and in the hand of his lord, Henry, by the grace of God, abbot of Kelso, he resigns the aforesaid for the use of the monastery of Kelso and the convent and all their successors.
