This fine concludes a dispute, already in progress by Hilary, 1200, between Petronilla and Agnes over the lands they inherited from their parents. Petronilla, the widow of Stephen de Fauconberg, gave twenty shillings to have the dispute brought before the king's court at Westminster. There was a partition of lands, and finally, after much delay, the parties received their chirograph in April 1202. (C.R.R. I, pp. 120, 310, 313, 477; II, p. 29; P.R. 2 John, p. 85).
