Reference
SC 8/32/1552
Date
[c. 1327-c. 1333]
Description
Petitioners
John de Baskervill (Baskerville).
Name(s)
de Baskervill (Baskerville), John
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
John de Baskervill complains that he has been ousted without reason from the maintenance he was granted by the king's father in the Abbey of Shrewsbury, for his service to the king's father and grandfather. He requests aid and a remedy.
Nature of endorsement
Coram rege.This petition is to be delivered to Richard de Bury, to show to the king, and he is to say what his will is on this.
Places mentioned
Salopesbury (Shrewsbury), [Shropshire].
People mentioned
Richard de Toucestre (Towcester)
Abbot and convent of Shrewsbury
Richard de Bury.
Note
Dated on the guard to 'c. 1327 seq.' on the basis of CCR 1313-8 p.437, dated at York, 12 November 1316, which is the grant by the king's father. From the references to service to the king's father and grandfather, it must be from the reign of Edward III, and the references to Richard de Bury (Keeper of the Wardrobe August 1328-September 1329; Keeper of the Privy Seal September 1329 - March 1334; Chancellor September 1334 - June 1335) suggests that it is probably from early in the reign.
