Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- John de Pateshull (Pattishall).
- Name(s)
- de Pateshull (Pattishall), John
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- Pateshall states that he was taken at the king's order in Huntingdonshire and brought before the king on the Sunday before the discomfiture at Burton, and was questioned by the elder Despenser because Pateshall had advised the bishop of Chester to send his heir to the earl of Lancaster. He was also questioned concerning florins and gold vessels belonging to the bishop whose executor he was, and he answered that they were in the keeping of the dean and chapter of Lichfield for the making of a chapel over the bishop's body, and because he did not wish to acknowledge that they were in his keeping, he was imprisoned. When they neared Pontefract he was sent to Lichfield to find the florins and vessels, and after the king had had them he still could not be released and was forced to make a recognizance to Despenser which sum is still to be paid. He requests remedy so that the recognizance be held null.
- Nature of endorsement
- If he can make himself a party of the quarrel, he is to be aided as one of the quarrel.
- Places mentioned

- People mentioned
- Hugh le Despenser, [Earl of Winchester], the father
- [Walter Langton], Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield (Bishop of Chester]
- [Thomas of Lancaster], Earl of Lancaster
- Dean and Chapter of Coventry and Lichfield
- Robert de Wodehous (Woodhouse)
- Walter [de Pattishull], brother of the petitioner.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The guard entry dates this to '1322 sq.' which is hardly helpful. The petition concerns events leading up to Boroughbridge, and the recognizance referred to in the petition was made on 1 April 1322 (CCR 1318-23, p.529). It would seem strange that Pattishall should be taking this action in the reign of Edward II when the Despensers were still very much in power, so it seems far more likely that this dates to 1327. It is unlikely to be later than January 1330 when an individual who was probably the same John de Pattishall was noted as having died recently (CCR 1327-30, p.515).
