Nature of request
Adam de Wodeford states that the lands of his father, Roger de Wodeford, are in the hands of the king, because he was in the company of the Verduns in Ireland when they rose against the king's father, although he was not indicted, and had a charter of pardon for this trespass. He requests restitution of his lands, as he has acted well and loyally towards the king, and the lands are in the king's hand for no good reason.
