Description
Petitioners
Alan de Hellebeck, clerk.
Name(s)
de Hellebeck, Alan
Addressees
King and council.
Occupation
clerk
Nature of request
Alan de Hellebeck states that the king assigned Ralph son of William by his commission as guardian of the goods and lands of Robert de Clifford in Westmorland, for which he was fully paid by the king, but that Ralph made Alan de Hellebeck take £10 worth of various foodstuffs by force from the poor people and others of the country, for which they have not been paid. Alan is now prosecuted for this payment, and requests the king's grace, since he was forced into this, and has nothing to hand over to the eyre in acquittance except by averment of the country.
Nature of endorsement
Ralph is dead, so he should sue against his executors, if he has any evidence which can bind them.
Places mentioned
Westmorland.
People mentioned
Ralph son of William (Fitz William)
Robert de Clifford.
Note
One of a collection of petitions published on pages 387ff of Rot. Parl., vol I., which all seem to date from around 1322.
