Petitioners

James Daudele (Audley), son of Nicholas Audley.

Name(s)

Daudele (Audley), James

Addressees

King and council

Nature of request

James, son of Nicholas Daudele, who is under age, states that the king delivered his wardship to Roger de Mortimer, formerly Earl of March, who took him to Chancery and made him make a recognisance to him for 10,000 marks. Because of Roger's forfeiture, the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer are having this sum levied from his lands and chattels. He requests a writ to the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer to discharge him of this sum, as he was under age when he made the recognisance, and by the law of the land could make no recognisance that might be to his disinheritance or prejudice.

Nature of endorsement

The Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer are to be ordered that, when they have called to their counsel those who seem appropriate to them, and when the inquisitions returned after the death of his ancestor, and other pieces of evidence concerning this business have been brought, they are further to do what is rightly to be done.
