Petitioners

John de Peshale, son of Adam de Peshale.

Name(s)

de Peshale, John

Addressees

King and council

Nature of request

Peshale states that the abbot leased the church of Sandon to him for thirty years, which term is still in being. However, following the death of Adam de Peshale it was alleged that the church was held by Adam and it was seized into the king's hand. Peshale requests that he be able to have his term of the church as the law of the land demands.

Nature of endorsement

The petition is to be brought into Chancery and there the matter is to be enquired of by good men assigned for that purpose to see if the things contained in the petition are true. The inquest thus taken and returned into Chancery, the chancellor when he has examined how the church was leased, and has summoned those that he wishes to summon, and heard the arguments for the king and the party, he is to do justice.
