Hi Everyone.
I am trying to do some researching of my ancestors, and came upon the
below which pertains to them.
I can recognise a few words but would like to know properly.
Would there be someone out there that is conversant enough with Latin that
could tell me what the following says please?

"Sciant omnes, &c. &c. Ego. Adam Filius Adam Fortescue Dedi Henrico de
Lopperigge septem folidos annui redditus quos Richardus Filius filius
Philippi Gretun folvere folebat pro tenemento fuo in Wymondston, &c. &c..
Hiis Testibus Domino Andrea Trelosk, milite, Petro de Prideaux, Thomas
Boys
de Hele, et Alliis. "Dat' die Beneris prox' post festum Sancti Ambrosii,
anno regni Regis Edward filii Regis Henrico tricefimo".

Thankyou
Margaret

My Latin was never good (and mostly botanical) but it looks as if some of
the "f"s should be "s"s (I remember getting my hands on an old book with
one of those typefaces - it was a pain to read but a typesetter friend
thought it was great to look at) so Adam is agreeing to pay seven shillings
per annum for Richard's holding (tememento suo, not fuo).
