Date
[1322]
Description
Petitioners
Richard Lovel.
Name(s)
Lovel, Richard
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Richard Lovel states that he holds the manor of Brill from the king, with its rents and services by valuation, until the king provides him with land of the same value elsewhere, that the rents and services of the Master of Smityngfeld are assessed and delivered with the rest, that the present King Edward, King Edward his father and King Henry have all been seised of these, and that Richard has been seised of them for more than two years. However, the master has lately withheld the hundred of Ludgershall in the same manor, with its rents and services, and claims to be quit by a charter of the king made to him three years after Richard's seisin, and by his suit he has maliciously had Richard's men with him in Bristol castle during the recent troubles, at the king's command and by warrant, put in exigent. He requests a remedy for these things.
Nature of endorsement
If they are in exigent they are to surrender themselves to prison, and a remedy is to be given them before the justices before whom the plea is pending.
