Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Thomas Wake of Liddel.
- Name(s)
- Wake, Thomas
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- Wake shows that William de Stuteville his ancestor was granted Knaresborough and Boroughbridge by Henry II, which gift was confirmed by successive kings to Stuteville and his ancestors. However, Henry III retained them from Eustace de Stuteville, and the Wakes to whom the Stuteville lands descended did not have the power to sue for the same. Wake requests that the king have regard to the charters of the kings and render the tenements to him, that he is not delayed from his right.
- Nature of endorsement
- Let the rolls and remembrances of the Exchequer and of the Treasury be searched, and if anything be found there concerning the lands contained in the petition of value for the king, or for the party they are to return it into Chancery. And let the rolls and remembrances of Chancery be searched from the time of King John and afterwards to see if Robert de Stuteville died seised of the lands now demanded, and if the lands were retained in the hand of the king on the livery made to Eustace of his inheritance, and by what cause, and if any other thing be found concerning this business which is of value to the king or the party. And these things having been searched . . .

Note (Additional information about the record)
- If SC 8/12/575 does date to 1335, as the presence of a transcript in Rot. Parl. suggests, then the reference in that petition to this petition being made in the last parliament held at Westminster places this firmly in the parliament assembled there on 19 September 1334. But see also the possibility that SC 8/12/575 dates as early as 1327.
