Petitioners

John de Attenderne, merchant of Almaine.

Name(s)

de Attenderne, John

Addressees

King and council.

Occupation

merchant of Almaine

Nature of request

Attenderne shows that the king is bound to him in the sum of 108 marks 3s. 1d. which Attendene loaned to him at Boston in the first year of his reign for which he had letters patent. He petitioned for an allowance of the sum at the last parliament at Westminster in the fourth year of the reign. A writ was sent to the treasurer, barons and chamberlains of the Exchequer to view the letters patent, and to make allowance to Attendene if it was found that the loan was still unpaid. They have received the writ, but will not make payment or allowance, so that Attendene requests remedy, and that execution be made according to the first award and order, so that he is not impoverished any longer.

Nature of endorsement

Let it be ordered to the treasurer, barons, and chamberlains of the Exchequer that when they have viewed the first writ of order that they make execution of this business according to the tenor of the same writ.
