- Nature of request
- Richard de Apperleye states that he had a messuage and two carucates of land, with appurtenances, in Culverden in King's Barton near Gloucester, which have come into the king's hand through the forfeiture of Henry de Willington. Henry had menaced Richard with the great power he had from Roger Damory, and with his great lineage, and had threatened him with being killed or maimed if he did not sell him the tenements. Joan, Richard's wife holds the tenements jointly with him, and they are entailed on the heirs of their bodies - as can be found by a fine levied on this in the King's Bench. Therefore Richard and Joan request the king's grace.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to 1322 as it is clearly in the aftermath of the failed baronial revolt, Willington being one of the rebels who forfeited.One of a collection of petitions published on pages 387ff of Rot. Parl., vol I., which all seem to date from around 1322. This dating is confirmed by PROME, Appendix of Unedited Petitions, 1307-1337, Rotuli Parliamentorum I, pp. 387-415, which dates these petitions to 15 or 16 Edward II (1321-1323).
