The King in Parliament grants to the prince, the dutchy of Cornwall, with the wards and marriages of his tenants by knight’s-service thereunto belonging : the King has A. his tenant within the said Dutchy, who holds of him (viz. the King), other lands elsewhere in capite; this tenant dies his heir within age, this A. also held other lands of the dutchy by knight-service : the prince shall not have the wardship of the heir of A. nor of the land in this case ; for A was of integer tenens of the dutchy ; and this is a special case of prerogative, that the King’s charters, without express mention, do not pass any thing, nor are of any effect in such case.
