- Nature of request
- Roger Gilt of Sproatley shows that when Richard Oysel, formerly bailiff of Holderness, was assigned by commission to let to farm the wastes of King Edward, father of the present king, in Holderness, he let five bovates of waste land with appurtenances in Sproatley to Hugh Gilt, the petitioner's father, and his heirs - as is enrolled in the exchequer. However, although Hugh was only ever seised of four bovates, he paid the rent for five for his entire life; and after his death Roger, his heir, has continued in this situation.
