William Frombald, parson of Grundisburgh.
Name(s)
Frombald, William
Addressees

Occupation
parson of Grundisburgh
Nature of request
Frombald shows that his grandfather purchased rents and services in Wingfield which ought to have descended to him following the death of his father. At his father's death, because the rents and services were held in chief of the king, he entered and held them until the king granted them to John de Wingfield of which he is now seised. Frombald requests remedy so that he can enjoy the right of the services which ought to have descended to him after the death of his father.
Nature of endorsement
He should distrain and take action by the law.

Wingfield, [Suffolk].
People mentioned
Frombald Flemyng (Fleming), grandfather of the petitioner
Roger [Frombald] son of Frombald Flemyng and father of the petitioner.
Note
