However, the Earl of March gave the king to understand that he had the right of presentation, and procured the presentation of one John Norman, his clerk, who has arranged for the king's attorneys to sue a writ of quare impedit against Hugh and Margaret, and to continue to sue, allowing no issue. Hugh and Margaret ask the king to revoke this presentation, producing the transcript of a letter of Edward II, revoking the mistaken presentation of one John de Coloyne at the last vacancy.
