Petitioners

Roger Lisewi (Lysewy).

Name(s)

Lisewi (Lysewy), Roger

Addressees

King.

Nature of request

Lysewi states that the abbot has claimed to the council for the reversion of the manor of Whitefield which his predecessors had leased to Weyvill for his life, and he is now dead. The abbot has proceeded to sue, but by this process the king's rights will be impaired, and Lysewi, to whom the king had granted the manor for his life, would be wrongfully kept from his estate. Lysewi requests that the king charge his council and justices that judgement should not be rendered to his prejudice or that of his estate without determining the defence and evidences that Lysewi would wish to say for the king and himself.

Nature of endorsement

Let this petition be sewn to the petition of the abbot which is answered and ordered into Chancery.
