Lease of Lord Richard le Scrope of an array of lands in Ellerton to John Underwode for twelve years, manuscript document in Latin on parchment [England (Ellerton, North Yorkshire), dated 22 May 1365] Large single sheet, with 44 long lines in an English secretarial hand, cut at top to form indenture and with remnants of capitals from ‘chirographum’ inscription, near-contemporary endorsement on reverse, folds, else in excellent condition, seal tag present (but seal wanting), 275+18 by 270mm. This is a notably lengthy and detailed Yorkshire charter (nearly a thousand words), specifying many of the numerous estates involved, the equipment and livestock that came with them, and even that 17 acres of the land had already been sown with barley, and another 46 acres with wheat. Richard le Scrope (c. 1327-1403) fought at Neville Cross in 1346, was knighted, and then fought again at Najara in 1367. In 1365, he sat in the Commons for Yorkshire, was made baron in 1371 and then royal steward to Richard II.
