Full description and record details

Reference
SC 8/1/32
Date
[1305]
Description
Petitioners
Robert de Bayouse, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire.
Name(s)
de Bayouse, Robert
Addressees
King and council.
Occupation
Sheriff of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire
Nature of request
The sheriff shows that he has been charged to pay every year £30 for the fees of Richmond as other sheriffs before have been, which fines the king gave to John de Brittany who holds it at present, and pays per annum £50 at the Exchequer. The sheriff is still charged for the £30 but is not able to levy anything from them, so he requests grace.
Nature of endorsement
Let there be a writ of Chancery to the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer to enquire of all manner of things that they are able to scrutinize of the rolls and memoranda of the Exchequer, and other things if necessary, to see if the £30 is contained within the farm of the county, and if it ought to continue, and from whom the thing ought to be levied, and if it is separated from the farm of the county, and if so from whom it ought to be levied . . . and then how much, in what manner and who holds the thing. And this is to be certified to the king at the next parliament.
Places mentioned
Richmond, [North Riding of Yorkshire].
People mentioned
John de Bretayne (Brittany), [duke of Brittany], earl of Richmond.
Note
The petition is dated to 1305 based upon the dating of Rot. Parl., vol I, p.159.
