Petitioners

Edmund le Ferrers.

Name(s)

Ferrers, Edmund

Addressees

Commons of parliament.

Nature of request

Edmund le Ferrers complains that Hugh Erdeswyk, with many other people of the counties of Staffordshire and Cheshire, came with force and arms to his village of Chartley last Palm Sunday, attacking and wounding his men, tenants and servants - killing Ralph Page his servant - and destroying the pale of his park; and they have committed many other riots and affrays. He requests that the commons ask the king to send for the malefactors, by authority of parliament, and to put them under such control that these acts stop; and that they might be punished according to the advice and discretion of the king and lords of this parliament.

Nature of endorsement

[On face] Soit prie a Roy (A request is to be made to the king).[On dorse] It seems that a sufficient remedy has been ordained by statute in the parliament held at Westminster in the thirteenth year of the reign of King Henry, father of the present king.
