Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Mayor and citizens of London.
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- The mayor and citizens request remedy so that the following matters can be enquired into so that they can have an allowance at the Exchequer. They rendered at the Exchequer on account 100 marks or more for Robert de Roquesle, late sheriff of London, though the late sheriff in the 22 year of the late king paid £21 11s. 3d. by a writ of the king to William de Gray, which the king was obliged to by the letters patent of Henry de Lacy, the king's lieutenant in Gacony. However although a writ of allowance was returned into the Exchequer, the mayor and citizens cannot have an allowance for the sum because the letters patent of the earl are not able to be found.
- Nature of endorsement
- The treasurer and barons of the Exchequer are ordered that they view the writ of allowance and other things that are necessary to be enquired after in this part to do justice.
- Places mentioned
- London
