The Society s MSS. 13 



There are three mentions of Kobert Lyveclen, or Leveden, in 

 vol. I. of the Tropenell Cartulary (pp. 237 — 8, 240) the two first 

 in the will of Eobert Warmwell, of Salisbury, who directs the sale 

 by his executors of his tenement in " Scotteslane," of the said city, 

 between the tenement of Kobert Lyveden on the east and the 

 tenement of Joan Shirley on the west, also the sale of 5s. rent 

 arising from the said tenement of Eobert Lyveden. The date of 

 the will is 20 April, 1447. One of Warmwell's executors wa& 

 John Wyly, who, 3 December, 1455, enfeoffs William Swayn, 

 citizen of Salisbury, and Robert Sawser, " gentilman," of inter alia 

 the tenement in " Scotterlane " between the tenement of Eobert 

 Leveden, &c., and the 5s. rent from the said tenement of Eobert 

 Leveden. On neither occasion is the tenement described as "late 

 of Eobert Lyveden " ; but it is probable that Eobert was dead in 

 1445 when John Lyveden, presumably his son, is found dealing 

 (No. 25) with the property in Steeple Ash ton, &c., and he was 

 certainly dead in 1464 when John enfeoffs (No. 26) the rector of 

 Kingston Deverell and another of two cottages in " Scotteslane."

There are many references to John Lyveden in the pages of the 

 " Tropcncll Cartulary " ; in all cases, from 1453 to 1476, he is 

 qualified as " esquire." There is in particular an interesting 

 deposition ])y him of what liappened on " IMonday after the Nativity 

 of Our Lady in the harvest" (Vol. ii., pp. 42—46), 1453. There 

 is mention of his "signet" (p. 46), and (p. 81) of a deed certified 

 uniler his soah He mentions (p. 47) that Richard Tago, oi War- 

 minster, was with liim "at lU'ighston I)e\'(Moll in niyii dwiie hoiis."
