William de Montagu, Earl of Salisbury.

Name(s)

de Montagu, Earl of Salisbury, William

Addressees

King.

Nature of request

Montagu states that the king granted to his father the castle of Denbigh and the cantrefs of Rhos, Rhufoniog and Ceinmeirch as appears by his charter. Afterwards by judgement of the king's court, at the suit of Roger de Mortimer he was ousted from them. Since that time he has sued for a long time before the king to order the council to make compensation according to the purport of his charters.

Nature of endorsement

It seems to the council that the petition is reasonable if it pleases the king.
