Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Stephen de Redenesse (Reedness).
- Name(s)
- de Redenesse (Reedness), Stephen
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- Stephen de Redenesse states that he had 200 acres of moor with other lands and tenements in Reedness, of the gift of Robert de Baillof, of which Robert's ancestors and feoffors had been seised since the Conquest, and that he was disseised of this by Henry de Lacy, then Earl of Lincoln. Because of his fear of the Earl, he never dared to begin a suit to recover it. It is now in the king's hand, and he requests grace and a remedy.
- Nature of endorsement
- The muniments which belonged to Henry de Lascy are to be searched, to see if anything can be found on behalf of the king, which might bar Stephen; and then the king will do justice.
- Places mentioned
- Reedness, [West Riding of Yorkshire].
- People mentioned
- Robert de Baillof (Balliol)
- Henry de Lascy (Lacy), Earl of Lincoln.
-
Note (Additional information about the record)
- This petition must date to after the death of Henry de Lacy on 5 February 1311, but the French endorsement would be very unusual this early. As Lacy's lands passed to Thomas, Earl of Lancaster through his daughter Alice, Lancaster's wife, the petition is perhaps more likely to have been delivered in the aftermath of Lancaster's death in 1322.
