Reference
SC 8/14/669
Date
[c. 1327]
Description
Petitioners
Peter de la Haye.
Name(s)
Haye, Peter
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Haye shows that he was enfeoffed of the manor of Streatlam. John Lesturmy who had the custody of John Treynete came and threatened Haye and forced him by the authority of Hugh le Despenser to give the manor by his charter jointly to John Treynete, the next heir of Haye's feoffor, and to Margaret, Lesturmy's daughter who had married Treynete. Treynete enfeoffed Haye in his lands in Yorkshire which were not of a third of the value, and Treynete is now dead and Margaret is tenant. Haye for his hardship requests remedy.
Nature of endorsement
He should sue in the court of the bishop of Durham.
Places mentioned
Streatlam, [County Durham]
Barnard Castle, [County Durham]
Yorkshire.
People mentioned
[Thomas Beauchamp], Earl of Warwick
John Lesturmy
John [Treynete] son of Thomas Treynete
Hugh le Despenser the son
Margaret [Lesturmy] daughter of John Lesturmy
Bishop of Durham.
Note
This petition seems to date to c.1327 as it is unlikely that any complainant would attempt to tackle a wrong done by the power of the younger Despenser before the destruction of the Despenser regime late in 1326. The earl of Warwick came into the keeping of the king on 12 August 1315, and did not do homage to the king until 1329. The king visited Barnard Castle in early October 1322, and from around 5 Sept. to 16 Sept. 1323. As the petition post dates the royal visit when Despenser was in the company of the king, the petition must be after this, and c. 1324 offers suitable flexibility.
