Description
Court Roll and View of Frankpledge relating to a Manor recorded in previous archive records as "Wad", which is untraceable in modern records.
The document, from the second year of the reign of Edward VI, then aged 10, is connected with William Paulet (c 1484-1572), known in 1548 as Lord St John but who was later to become Earl of Wiltshire (1550) and then Lord High Treasurer (1550-1572) and Marquess of Winchester (1551). He had been made Knight of the Garter by Henry VIII in 1543 and served as Lord Keeper of the Seal in 1547. He and John Dudlley, Duke of Northumberland (1504-1553), exercised considerable power at the Court of the minor, Edward VI.
