Addressees

King and council.

Nature of request

Richard de Lue, who has served the present king and his father faithfully for thirty-six years and more, in the wardrobe, the Exchequer and elsewhere, both at home and overseas, states that in the twenty-fourth year of Edward I's reign, he and William Trussel, sheriff of Kent were assigned to take grain and other victuals from the Archbishop of Canterbury to provision the king's army in Gascony; but the archbishop, through malevolence, had Richard summoned before him, and deprived him of two hundred marks of rent which he had in his jurisdiction. Richard has pursued this matter at the court of Rome and elsewhere for twenty-two years; he now requests rent in the archbishopric of York, or some other means of support elsewhere, for his long service.

Coram rege.It pleases the king to help him when he is able to.
