- Nature of request
- Simon, Archbishop of Canterbury, states that King Henry, predecessor of the present king, gave his chapel of Bosham to the bishop of Exeter, fully, and without retaining anything for himself, and that the bishops of Exeter have always exercised their rights of visitation there, and likewise the archbishops of Canterbury, when they have visited the diocese of Chichester. But the present bishop, in a plea pending before the council, has granted his visitation rights to the king, in prejudice to the church of Canterbury, and something which he cannot do, without it being dependant on some temporal thing that could fall to the king's person. The archbishop requests a good and suitable remedy for this dispute.
- Nature of endorsement
- This petition is to be sent into Chancery, and when the records and processes made on it have been examined, and the king's serjeants, and those who are to be called, have been called, right is further to be done, both for the king and for the archbishop.
- Places mentioned
- Bosham, [Sussex]
