Petitioners

Phillip de Columbers.

Name(s)

de Columbers, Phillip

Addressees

King and council.

Nature of request

Phillip de Columbers states that the abbot of Bec-Hellouin, because of a dispute which he has with Phillip, in disinheritance of him has presented one of his monks to the king to be prior of Goldcliff, which is of the foundation of Phillip's ancestors, as can be seen from the foundation gift, and by the confirmation of the king's father and of five kings before him, although no prior was ever presented in this way between the foundation and the time of the present king, as can be seen by the record in Chancery. Therefore he requests that the king command his chancellor to have the confirmations examined and the rolls searched, and that justice be done on this.

Nature of endorsement

He is to go to Chancery and show before the chancellor his right in the advowson etc., and when the chancellor has been informed on this, he is to inform the king, so that he can further do what is rightly to be done.

Places mentioned

Beck Harlewyne (Bec-Hellouin), [France]

Goldeclive (Goldcliff), [Monmouthshire].
