Description

John de Crochille, clerk.
Name(s)
de Crochille, John
Addressees
King and council.
Places mentioned
Italy
Rome.
Nature of request
Crochille shows that while he was at the court of Rome he was outlawed because of an account, and when he returned to England he was taken [...] He was subsequently granted a charter of pardon by the chancellor, but because he was so impoverished he couldn't pay for it and was imprisoned for a year. He requests from the king that he can have the charter of pardon so that he is able to come to law.
Nature of endorsement
[None].
Note
This is dated to 1348 by the details given in Rot. Parl., vol II, p.175; see also PROME, parliament of January-February 1348, appendix, no. 17. The petition appears to be of about this date by the pardon granted to Crochille on 28 June 1347 (CPR 1350-4, p.344).
