Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Community and the sub tax- collectors of the vill of Ketton in the county of Rutland.
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- The petitioners show that the prior of Newstead has been taxed and tallaged with the community of the vill for all manner of contributions and tallages for the tenements that he holds in the vill as appears by the rolls of the sub tax-collectors. The prior has bribed the chief tax-collectors to conceal his name in other taxes, and the prior alleges that the tenements are taxed with his spiritualities, and his discharge from them is to the great damage of them in a charge of the same community. The community request that the king ordain a remedy for them for the concealment made by the chief tax-collectors which can be found by the rolls of the sub tax-collectors for this year and all years that the tax has been granted, and that they were always taxed, and not assessed with their spiritualities, so that they request a writ to the treasurer and barons that they summon before them the prior, chief tax-collectors, and also the sub tax-collectors, and hear the reasons between them and the king, and do justice, charging those that ought to be charged.
