2nd Lord Basset of Weldon [Ref: Richardson RoyalAnc v1p263, Richardson RoyalAnc v3p571]

Knt, of Great Weldon, Pytchley, Sutton Basset, and Weston, Northamptonshire, Drayton Beauchamp, Buckinghamshire, Madeley Alfac, Staffordshire, Wilstone (in Tring), Hertfordshire, Thorpe Langton, Leicestershire [Ref: Richardson RoyalAnc v1p263]
of Weldon, Northants [Ref: HoP 1386-1421 v2p86, HoP 1386-1421 v3p534]

heir of his father [Ref: CP II p10, Richardson RoyalAnc v1p263]

Oct 8 1314: custody of his father's lands together with his marriage was obtained by Richard de Grey for a fine of 800 pounds [Ref: CP II p10]

1314: custody of father's lands given to Richard Grey of Codnor [Ref: Weis AR7 #187]

Mar 29 1322: proved his age [Ref: CP II p11, Weis AR7 #187]

May 12 1322: did homage and had livery of his inheritance [Ref: CP II p11]

The interest in the advowson passed from bishop Walter Langton after his death in 1322 to Ralph Basset and his wife Joan. This appears to have been achieved by forcible seizure of the estate, for Edmund Peverel brought an action of entry sur disseisin, of 1 messuage, 1 mill, 2 carucates of land, 16 acres of meadow, 15 acres of wood and 102 shillings worth of rent in Ashley. Ralph Basset, Richard parson of Cransley, William Latimer Bouchard and others were also accused in a separate suit by the King of breaking into Langton's estate and carrying off goods and chattels of the bishop's worth #300 to the prejudice of Edward II (and the present king, in arrears) to whom Langton owed large debts [From: 'Church Langton', A History of the County of Leicestershire: Volume 5: Gartree Hundred (1964), p.505, 533].
The participation of William Latimer Bouchard in this act is significant, for Ralph Basset's wife was the daughter of William, Lord Latimer (d. 1335), the evidence for this is given when Edmund Peverel's attorney unsuccessfully objected that, "The lord of Latymer is bailiff in fee of the hundred [of Corby], and the members of the panel are from that hundred. The daughter of the lord of Latymer is married to Ralph Basset the defendant; and the lord, through his bailiffs arrayed the panel. We submit that the court would not wish to accept the members of this panel as jurors in this assize." ("...la fille meisme celui seignur de Latymer si est espose a meisme cestui R. Basset...") [Ibid, p.422]. [Ref: Rosie Bevan SGM 8/9/2006-033931]

Apr 5 1327: summoned against the Scots, by writ directed Radulfe Basset de Weldon, but he was never summoned on any other occasion [Ref: CP II p11]

with Geoffrey Archer, grandson of Cicely, sued John Wyard for the manor of Stanton harcourt [Ref: CP II p9(h)]
