Description
Petitioners
Isabel de Malton, daughter of Matthew de Malton.
Name(s)
de Malton, Isabel
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Isabel, daughter of Matthew de Malton states that her father leased to Alan le Maltestere five cottages and to John Vapurnyent a messuage, with appurtenances, in Pontefract, for the term of their lives, and that after their deaths these tenements should have returned to her, as Matthew's daughter and heir; but after the deaths of Alan and John, Thomas, earl of Lancaster, seized them into his hand, and held them until he was forfeited. They are now in the king's hand, so Isabel requests grace and a remedy from him.
Nature of endorsement
She is to wait until it is known what will become of the countess' inheritance etc.
Places mentioned
Pounfreyt (Pontefract), [West Riding of Yorkshire].
People mentioned
Matthew de Malton, father of the petitioner
Alan le Maltestere
John Vapurnyent
Thomas [of Lancaster], earl of Lancaster
[Alice], countess of Lancaster.
Note
The petition is dated to 1322 because it is clearly in the aftermath of the failed baronial revolt as the petition makes reference to Thomas, late earl of Lancaster, and the discussion in the government as to what was to be done with the countess of Lancaster's inheritance.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).
