Date
[c. 1332-c. 1334]
Description
Petitioners
Robert de Bilkemore; Anastasia de Bilkemore, wife of Robert de Bilkemore, and daughter and heir of William de Harden.
Name(s)
de Bilkemore; de Bilkemore, Robert; Anastasia
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
The Bilkemores request a writ to the justice of the Forest for the regarders and other ministers of the Forest to ride and bound out the boundary between their wood and the king's wood, or provide some other convenient remedy. The petitioners' woods adjoin the king's and the ancient ditch dividing them is now filled in and the petitioners cannot profit from their land because of the foresters.1)
Nature of endorsement
Coram rege et magno consilio.2) The justice of the Forest is ordered that he inform himself on the boundaries contained in the petition, and if it is to the profit of the king for the bounds to be made, and that he advise the king.
Places mentioned
Savernake Forest, Wiltshire.
People mentioned
William de Hardene (Harden), father of Anastasia de Bilkemore.
Note
This has been dated to c. 1332-c. 1334 because that makes it contemporary with entries in the patent and close rolls involving the Bilkemores, and to two petitions (CCR 1330-3, pp.453-4; CPR 1330-4, p.155; Rot. Parl., vol II, p.78a-b (no.25)). However none of these references directly relates to this particular petition.
