- Nature of request
- Hawise, widow of Robert de Kaynes, states that a knight's fee in Lasborough was assigned to her as dower after the death of her husband, which one Henry de Lasborough held of her. He died, leaving as heirs two daughters, whose wardship Hugh le Despenser, Earl of Winchester, usurped by his great power and lordship, and gave it to William de Dene, his steward, who sold it to a Robert de Goldhull of Gloucester, who is now seised of it. Thus Hawise is kept from her right of dower: therefore she requests a remedy.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- CCR 1327-30 p.280 is dated at Northampton, 28 April 1328. It gives an entirely different history of the seisin of the manor, apparently established by inquisition, in which Henry de Lassebergh does not feature; the manor is held by William de Dene from Hugh le Despenser, and the two heiresses are William's daughters. In this version Robert de Goldhull holds from the feast of St Clement, 19 Edward II (November 1325) to 22 July 1327, when the manor is taken into the king's hand as belonging to Despenser. As a petition so hostile to Despenser was probably not delivered before his fall, this petition dates either to the first six months of 1327 or after 28 April 1328 - possibly the former, as it does not mention the manor having been in the king's hand.
