Petitioners

Executors of Piers atte See of Ravenser Odd.

Addressees

King and council.

Nature of request

The executors of Piers atte See of Ravenser Odd request a remedy against Robert Romayn, formerly the king's purchaser, who in the twelfth year of the king's reign, took from Piers, as he lay dying, meat and fish to the value of ten marks, for the king's benefit. They have a tally made by Robert for this, but they have not been paid - preventing them from executing Piers' testament, contrary to the law of Holy Church and their own oath - even though Robert has received the money for this from the wardrobe.

Nature of endorsement

They are to have a writ formulated for their petition, and returnable before the king.

Places mentioned
