- Nature of request
- John Scudamore, knight, complains that, although he surrendered Pembroke castle, which was in his keeping, to Edward IV as soon as he knew that he had become king, and was received into his grace and pardon by Lord Herbert, who had authority to do so, and although at the parliament in the first year of Edward IV two attempts to attaint him of high treason were defeated, nevertheless a bill attainting him was passed at the end of parliament, when many people had left, depriving him of his livelihood, and leaving him only his life and goods. He asks that the act attainting him might be considered null and void by authority of parliament, and that he might have and enjoy all the possessions and hereditaments, that would have been his if the act had never been, and possess and occupy them, without making further suit for them - and that all letters patent made by the king concerning these possessions since they came into his hand should now be considered void, but no person should be chargeable for any issues taken from these possessions in that time.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- This petition is enrolled on the roll of the parliament summoned at Westminster in October 1472 (12 Edward IV) and prorogued a number of times until January 1475 (Rot. Parl. vol. VI, pp.29a-30a). It would seem, from pp.3a and 39a that this petition was delivered during the session which lasted from 3 October to 30 November 1472.
