Name(s)

Ive, John

Addressees

King and council.

Occupation

abbot of Faversham

Nature of request

Ive states that in the time of Edward II there was a plea moved and debate between Abbot Orfreiser and his convent. Orfreiser took Badlesmere into his council and rewarded him with a release for his life of his rents in Badlesmere, Sheldwich and Selling. The rent has been in arrears since the lands came into the king's hand following the death and forfeiture of Badlesmere, and for the last 4 years have been in the hand of the keepers of Badlesmere's heir. The abbot request that the king order his treasurer and barons that if it was found by the ministers of his progenitors by inquisitions taken before them that the rent was due to the abbot by right of his church after the death of Badlesmere then they ought to have it as they had it before, and the guardians should respond for their time.

Nature of endorsement

On this petition the treasurer and barons are to be ordered that they summon those who are to be summoned and hear the reasons and they should do what is right.
