- Michael de la Pole; Catherine de la Pole, wife of Michael de la Pole.
- Name(s)
- de la ; de la Pole, Michael; Catherine
- Addressees
- Lords and commons of parliament.
- Nature of request
- Michael de la Pole and Catherine, his wife, daughter of Hugh, late Earl of Stafford, state that it was granted in the last parliament at Westminster that the petitioners should have £100 of land a year, for themselves and the heirs of their bodies, in accordance with the terms of their marriage, in part payment of which they were given the manors of Blyborough, Harpswell and Grassthorpe. However these are not worth £100, as various inquests have found; they request that the lords and commons ask the king to enfeoff them with other manors, lands and tenements, to the true value promised them.
- Nature of endorsement
- The king wishes the supplicant to have lands to the value of £100 annually, in accordance with the grant previously made in parliament.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- A commission to enquire into this matter was issued on 29 March 1389 (CPR 1388-92, p.58), seemingly in response to this petition. The reference to 'the last Parliament at Westminster' presumably refers to the 'Merciless Parliament', held between February and June 1388, which in turn suggests that the 'present parliament' to which the petition is addressed is that held in Cambridge in September and October 1388. Another later petition from these petitioners on this matter is now at SC 8/173/8637.
