Date (When the record was created)
- [1433]
-
Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Creditors of Edmund de Mortimer, late Earl of March
- Addressees
- Commons in parliament.
- Nature of request
- The petitioners state that because of the non-payment of diverse debts owed to them by the late earl they are greatly impoverished and imprisoned, because no-one for fear of loss of their own goods will take on the administration of the late earl and satisfaction of the creditors. They therefore request that the king appoint Cantelowe and Faukes to be the administrators of the earl's goods and chattels to the intent that with the supervision of Tyrell, Lucy and the others, they are to satisfy the creditors, the administrators rendering a reasonable account to the supervisors; they also request that no-one be able to have any action against the administrators except the supervisors, and no-one be able to have an action against the supervisors because of this.
- Nature of endorsement
- Let it be just as it is petitioned. Administration of the goods and chattels which were the late earl's being committed by the archbishop of Canterbury to Cantelowe and Faukes in the form of the rights of the church, in conservation of the liberties of the church.
- People mentioned

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated by the title in Rot. Parl. IV, p.458 to 11 Henry VI, being the parliament of 1433. It seems likely that it was presented to the final session of that parliament (October-December 1433), since records of a later court case recite orders for the appointment of administrators issued in early December 1433 (CP 40/745, rot 473).
