Date
[c. 1327]
Description
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.
