Description
Petitioners
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.
