Date
[1300-1307]
Description
Petitioners
Parsons of the churches of Holderness.
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
The parsons of the churches of Holderness request that the king order his bailiffs and ministers in Holderness to pay a tithe to Holy Church from his mills there, as he has ordered a tithe to be paid from the foals of his stud at Burstwick, and from the fish of his fisheries in the area.
Nature of endorsement
A writ is to be sent to Richard Oysel, Bailiff of Holderness, to have tithes paid from the king's mills in his bailiwick, in the same way as they are paid from other people's mills in Holderness.
Places mentioned
Holderness, [East Riding of Yorkshire]
Brustwick (Burstwick), [East Riding of Yorkshire].
People mentioned
Richard Oysel, Bailiff of Holderness.
Note
Dated on the guard of the petition, apparently with reference to the appointment of Richard de Oysel as Bailiff of Holderness, to CPR 1292-1301 p.487, and CPR 1307-13 p.10. It is further dated to '? 1305 cf. rest of file'. Richard de Oysel is mentioned in this post on 17 January 1300 (CPR 1292-1301 p. 487) From p.527 it appears that Thomas de Weston, the previous bailiff, had recently died. CPR 1307-1313 p.10 contains a reference, dated at Westminster, 27 October 1307, to Miles de Stapleton as Bailiff of Holderness - giving, roughly, the earliest and latest dates possible. CCR 1296-1302 p.342 is a similar complaint concerning tithes of hay payable to one Holderness church, dated at Westminster, 1 April 1300.
