- Nature of request
- Alice Russel states that although she and her husband, Piers Russel, were always free of body, as all their ancestors were, and freely held their lands of Edmund de Badwe in Sandon, William de Cleydon seized them with force and arms in their free tenement, and took them to the Earl of Pembroke's manor of Hanningfield, where he imprisoned them until they had surrendered their charters and other muniments to him, and attorned their fealty and other services for their tenements to him. He also drove away their livestock, carried off all their goods, and reaped and carried off their corn. For which she requests grace and a remedy.

- Hanningfield, [Essex].

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the dorse to '? 1324 seq. ref. Hanningfield then belonging to Earl of Pembroke'. This is Aymer de Valence, who died in 1324: the next Earl, his nephew Laurence Hastings, was only recognized in 1339. However, as the French endorsement would suggest late Edward II or Edward III, 1324 may provide the terminus a quo. This petition, like most of the others in this section, is most likely to be from the reign of Edward III. More certain is the terminus ante quem: CCR 1330-3 p.72 makes it clear that William de Cleydon is dead by 16 November 1330: whereas the petition would seem to suggest that he is alive.
