Nature of request
Piers Aymery states that the king, after the death of Henry, Archbishop of York, gave him the prebend in the church of Beverley which once belonged to Raymond de la Ferrere but was then vacant, and Piers presented the king's letter of donation to the four canons who represented the chapter of Beverley, at the feast of the Assumption in the twenty-seventh year of the king's reign, but the canons, wishing to keep the fruits of that August which belonged to Piers, delayed receiving him until after the feast of St Luke. The king twice ordered them by letter to give these fruits to Piers, but the canons replied in a letter, a transcript of which is sewn to this petition, and did nothing. Because he has been busy travelling to the court of Rome and elsewhere on the king's business, Piers has not has leisure to pursue this matter; therefore he requests that the king summon the canons before him and his council on a certain day to explain their retention of the fruits, or that he provide another remedy.
