Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- John de Beauchaump (Beauchamp) of Somerset
- Name(s)
- de Beauchaump (Beauchamp), John
- Addressees
- King and council
- Nature of request
- John de Beauchaump states that his mother, Cecily de Beauchaump had sued by petition in the king's parliament to have her purparty of the inheritance of her mother, Maud de Kyme, in Ireland - that is, half of the land and town of Carberry, and a quarter of the profit of the seal of Kildare - and she died seised of this. And since the king made John Fitz Thomas the Earl of Kildare, and granted him the entire county of Kildare, he has occupied the aforesaid purparty since Cecily's death, to John's disinheritance. He requests a remedy, or that the king might grant him some lands in England, in a suitable place.
- Nature of endorsement
- He is to sue in Ireland at common law. If he wishes to have a writ of the Chancery of England to the Chancellor of Ireland to do justice to him [according to] the law there, it is to be granted him.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- CFR 1319-27 p.44 is dated at Easthampstead, 12 January 1321; CFR 1319-27 p.49 is dated at Windsor, 5 March 1321; CFR 1319-27 p.54 is dated at Gloucester, 10 April 1321. This petition must date from after this, possibly from not long after. However, there is a problem: the Handbook of British Chronology says that John Fitz Thomas Fitz Gerald was created Earl of Kildare in May 1316, but that he died in September that year: therefore, if Cecily died in late 1320 or very early 1321, the Earl who has taken her lands must be his son and heir, Thomas Fitz John Fitz Gerald.
