"Those who took the part of the King in the great rebellion or who professed the Roman Catholic Religion were termed delinquents and were fined in accordance with delinquency. The extates of those who fled the country were forfeited. Delinquents were required to make a confession of delinquency; a pledge of adherance to the present government, and a full account on oath of their posessions real and personal. A Commission for compounding with delinquents was created in 1644 and remained in existence until 1657."

25 January, 1654-5, Order for search to be made in the old books as to the sequestration of the manor of Larkstoke co, Gloucester, for the recusancy of Richard Brent, the elder, deceased, or of Foulk Brent, Richard Brent the younger, Edward Brent, George Brent, Anne Brent, and Jane Brent, children of the said Richard Brent the elder. -ibid p 263 of Royalist Composition Papers

The petition of Lady Katherine Brooke, dowager to her husband Robert, late Lord Brooke, deceased (Dec 1651). About 22 years since the executors of the Fulke, late Lord Brooke, deceased, bought of Richard Brent, esquire the manor of Admington, Co. Gloucester, which then stood (and still stands) charged with two annuities of 20 pounds each there-to-fore granted by William Brent, grandfather of said Richard, to his daughter's son Richard Hawthen, esq., yet living. Owing to the sequestration fro the recusancy of Richard Brent complications have arisen re the annuities, etc., etc. -Ibid, p 267

Petition by the said Lady Brooke (1652) shewing that in July 1650 she bought for 2834 Pounds from Fulke Brent, esq. certain enclosures in LarkStoke, co. Gloucester (of which fine and recovery were levied and suffered) for the term of 50 years. The premises have been sequestrated, etc. etc. -Ibid G 83, p 285

Report in the case of the said Lady Brooke 22 Oct 1652. Two thirds of all the extate of Richard Brent the elder of Larkstoke, co. Gloucester, deceased, were sequestered in 1644 for his recusancy; two years since the commisioners were informed thate he had conveyed part of his lands to his children Foulke, Edward, George (not Richard), Anne Brent and Jane Brent, now the wife of Thomas Cassey, a recussant, and that the children were recussants; the oath was tendered to them by the commissioners, but they refused to take it, so the commissioners sequestered two thirds of said children's lands. -Ibid, p 276

The petition of George Brent, Anne Brent & Jane Brent. In 1640 the petitioner's late father Richard Brent, esqr. demised certain parcels of land in Hitcott Bertram, co. Gloucester, to the petitioners for 30 years, at a peppercorn rent. Two thirds have been sequestered for their father's recusancy; hi is since dead; they pray the sequestration may be discharged. -IBID, P. 285

[Ben M. Angel notes: Hidcote is another extremely small village near Mickleton, both presently and back then on the Gloucestershire side of the border with Warwickshire. On Google Earth, it is demarcated by a bunch of Panoramio photos.]

The names of the parcels of land of Mr. Richard Brent and his children, in Larkstoke, co. Gloucester. When his children were summoned by the commissioners to take the oath there appeared only Mrs. Anne Brent and she refused to take it. The estate was therefore continued under sequestration, all of them being known papists.
