Description
Petitioners
Tenants of Darlton and Ragnall.
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
The tenants of Darlton and Ragnall complain that Richard Stanop, knight, has enclosed their common pastures, and that they are so ruined as a result that they cannot pay their rents and services to the king; nor do they dare to sue at law, for fear of Richard Stanop: so they request a remedy of the king.
Nature of endorsement
Because the matter of this petition touches a free tenement, the king wishes to be advised on this.
Places mentioned
Darleton (Darlton), [Nottinghamshire]
Ragenell (Ragnall), [Nottinghamshire].
People mentioned
Richard Stanop (Stanhope), knight.
Note
Rot. Parl. vol. IV, p.29b (no.7), assigns this petition to 1414, and most of the surrounding petitions that can be dated seem to be from that year.SC 8/23/1140, from the November parliament of 1414, is a complaint from Richard Stanop against complaints made against him by a Margaret Basset in the parliament of April 1414, and mentions other matters: perhaps these complaints are from that parliament also.
