*A note for the legitimation of Priestes children, ex termino Michael. Anno 21. Henr. 7. fol. 39. page. 2.
Note, that in the xix. year of this King, in an Assize at Warwick, before Sir Guy Fairfax, and Sir John Vavisour, it was found by Verdict,1 that the father of the tenant had taken the order of Deacon, and after married a wife, and had issue, the tenant dyed, and the issue of the tenant did enter. Upon whom the plaintiff did enter as next heir collateral to the father of the tenant.2 Upon whom he did reenter, &c. and for difficulty, the Justices did adjourn the Assize. And it was debated in the Exchequer chamber: If the tenant shall be a Bastard, &c. And here by advise it was adjudged that he shall not be bastard, &c. ¶Frowicke chief Justice said to me in the xix. year of Henry the vij. in the common place, that he was of counsel in this matter, and that it was adjudged as before, which Vavisour did grant. ¶And Frowicke said, that if a Priest marry a wife,3 and hath issue and dyeth, his issue shall inherit, for that the espousals be not void but voidable. ¶Vavisour: if a man take a Nun to wife, this espousal is void.
