X Jean de Paris v. John Huytin
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 December 2009
Extract
Among a number of suits arising from grants, this one between Jean de Paris and the Englishman, John Huytin (or Whiting?) went back to a grant of 20 ‘livres’ to be raised from the lordship of Tessancourt, near Mantes, uihich Huytin said had been made to him by the regent. The suit came before the Parlement on appeal by Jean de Pans who claimed that the ‘bailli’ of Mantes, an Englishman, had favoured Huytin ‘quia compatriota’. Paris was to claim the lordship of Tessancourt through his wife, sister and heir to the wife of Jean de Bantalu, the last undisputed lord of Tessancourt. The point at issue (not dissimilar to that raised in the suit between Rose and Handford (no IV) was whether Bantalu had been with the enemy when he died, thereby meriting confiscation, as Huytin argued, or whether he had been loyal, as Jean de Paris, furthering his own claim to Tessancourt, was. to make out.

1 Nothing is known about this man. It is likely that his name was Whiting, although Hilton is a possibility. One John ‘Houylton’, esquire, appointed a representative to receive his rents from lands he held in the vicomté of Valognes on 7 October 1421 (Arch. Seine-Mme., Tabellionnage de Rouen, 1421–22, fo. 208v). It is unlikely, however, that this was the same man.

18 It would seem that the unfortunate Bantalu took refuge some time in 1418–19 at Château-Gaillard where he died before the place, besieged by the English since April 1419, capitulated in November 1419. In support of the contention made by Jean de Paris that Bantalu remained in the obedience of Charles VI there is the remark made by Monstrelet concerning Gaillard ‘qui estoit au roy de France’ (La Chronique d'Enguerran de Monstrelet, ed. d'Arcq, L. Douet (SHF, 6 vols., Paris, 1857 62), iii, 337Google Scholar). If Bantalu withdrew to Meulan in 1418, as alleged by Jean de Paris, this place, too, together with Mantes, was then already held by the duke of Burgundy who had reduced both these places to his obedience, and nominally to that of Charles VI, in September 1417.
