- Nature of request
- The abbot of St Albans states that during the disturbances of last June (the Peasants' Revolt of 1381), various people of Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, both people from St Albans and other tenants of the abbot's, both free and villein, came to him, and, through duress and fear of the destruction of the abbey, forced him to make to them charters of their own devising, for various franchises and liberties. Although, by the king's authority, they later surrendered these, they have made various copies through which the abbot and his successors could be molested and disseised. He requests that it be ordained in the present parliament that all such charters, and the possessions obtained by virtue of them, be null and void.
