Addressees

King and council

Nature of request

John de Tynton states that he was one of the king's ministers in Bardney abbey during the vacancy when Henry de Thornhagh had custody of it through the king's commission, and that when the former abbot was reinstated by the archbishop of Canterbury, and wished to enter the abbey, they prevented him until he brought the king's writ of entry, in accordance with Henry's commission. The archbishop of Canterbury and his official then impleaded John and his colleagues, and excommunicated them, because they would not let the abbot enter through the archbishop's letter, and, although John has brought the king's prohibition and tried many other legal remedies, he has been unsuccessful, and the archbishop and his official have now had a capias issued to the sheriff of Lincolnshire, to have them arrested and imprisoned. John and the others ask that this capias be repealed.

Nature of endorsement

If he had a prohibition, he is to have an attachment, and if he has sued the attachment he is to have a writ to revoke the capias.
