Edmund de Baddow (Badwe), son of Edmund de Baddow; Andrew Jordan; John le Whyte; All the tenants of the land in Sandon of William de Claydon.

Nature of request
The petitioners complain that whereas Claydon purchased the manor, he has made them attorn to him wrongfully for other services that they were not accustomed to make, and also has levied by extortions diverse scutages which he ought not to have had. The petitioners request grace and remedy.
Nature of endorsement
They should sue at the common law.
Places mentioned
Sandon, [Essex].
People mentioned
William de Cleydon (Claydon).
Note
The petition is dated to c. 1330 as it is possible that it dates to late 1330 or 1331 following the death of Claydon, as it seems that his death would have presented an opportunity to complain of his extortions.
