- Nature of request
- Richard de Stirthorp states that Edmund de Impington, formerly bailiff of Gainsborough, by colour of a commission he had to seize into the king's hand the lands which belonged to John de Mowbray in the Isle of Axholme, came with force and arms to Althorpe, in the same isle, on the Wednesday after the feast of St Gregory, in the sixteenth year of the present king, and took from him a quantity of wheat and beans, causing him damages of 100 marks. Richard has sued in the king's court for a remedy, but Edmund, because he was allied to Hugh Despenser, procured false returns of sheriffs, and threatening letters from Hugh, so that he could have no justice.
