(Pipe roll 28 Henry II., 27) In 1194, Odo De Carew disputed the claim of Geoffrey De Cholsey to land in Moulsford, co.

Died: 22 May 1363, "the morrow of Whitsunday"

Notes: served under Lionel, Duke of Clarence, in Ireland (1362-66), who had been appointed viceroy by his father, Edward III. Lord Deputy of Ireland. After the death of his brother, Nicholas De Carew, Thomas Carew, his uncle, was the next to inherit Moulsford. The manor was seised on 6 may 1325 by Joan Talbot and her son. John paid a £100 fine for his seizure of Moulsford Manor and it apparently passed to his uncle, Thomas Carew. In 1331, Thomas Carew had license to enfeeof Master William Carew, probably in trust for his nephew John, the younger, who was afterwards knighted and became Justicar of Ireland. He held the manor at his death on Whit Monday, 1362, and his son Leonard received seisin of it in 1364. He died Oct 1369, leaving an infant son, Thomas, and his "next friend" had the custody of the manor. This was evidently Nicholas Carew of Purley in Theale Hundred, who had a grant of free warren there in 1373. Thomas Carew was in possession in 1401 and made settlement on his wife, Elizabeth De Bonville, 8 Apr 1410.

Leonard CAREW (Sir)

Born: 1343

Died: 4 Oct 1369

Notes: in the Inquisitions of Edward III, Writ to the escheator dated 27 Apr 1365 to take proof of age of Leonard Carew, son of John Carew, whose lands were in the custody of Phillippa, Queen of England. Thomas Cheyne, the escheator, 'caused warning to be given to John Gornay, knight, and Elizabeth, his wife, the Queen's farmers of the lands &c late of John De Carru in this bailiwick, and they did not wish to be present of send anyone in their place'.

Writ of dedimus potestatem dated 20 Jul 1365 wherein a commission begins to investigate Leonard's claim that 'the King has been deceived in assigning Elizabeth with dower rights of the manors of Camelton, Otery Mohun, and Monketon, Devon, and Andeport, Southampton, as these manors were given by William Chaylou (parson of the church of Stoke Fleming), Vincent De Berstaple, and William Stedham (vicar of the church of Andeport) to John and Margaret and the heirs of their bodies so that John had no estate in them except in fee-tail'. Took a while, but a decision made 15 Jul 1367 in Sir Leonard Carew's favor.

He did not enjoy his inheritance for long, though. Leonard died 9 Oct 1369. Thomas, aged one year and more, was his heir. Supposedly, he died in battle while in the service of his Carru, Pembrokeshire, overlord John Hastings, Earl of Pembroke.
