Henry son of Hugh (Fitz Hugh).

Name(s)

Hugh (Fitz Hugh), Henry

Addressees

Nature of request

Fitz Hugh shows that he and his ancestors have peaceably held 6,000 acres of moor and pasture in Mickleton. Clifford claims it as his belonging to Brough, and has drawn it from the county of Yorkshire into Westmorland to Fitz Hugh's disinheritance. He requests that the king assign some great people to ride the bounds of the counties, so that by this the boundary can be finally determined between the two counties.

Nature of endorsement

The king is advised to assign good men to make the bounds and perambulation between the two counties, and to inform all those whom wish to attend of the making of the bounds.
