- Nature of request
- Seagrave requests remedy concerning tenements in Billingsgate which her late husband recovered from Henry de Braundeston for a loan that Braundeston had had from him. Following her husband's death the tenements came into the king's hand because of debts that he owed the king, he having held divers offices of the king. Subsequently Braundeston, Kimbauton and Swote have conspired to fraudulently obtain the tenements by an assize of novel disseisin, depriving the king of the payment of his debt, Seagrave of her dower and the disinheritance of the heirs. She therefore requests that Kimbauton and Swote come before the king and his council to respond to her suite of this deceit, and suspend the assize otherwise Braundeston will lose the assize by default.1)
- Nature of endorsement
- The taking of the assize is not to be stayed, but regarding the rendering of judgement in this part, it is to be stayed until the king will have been consulted.2) The king should have the advice of the treasurer and William de Norwich.
