King and council.

Places mentioned

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].
