- Nature of request
- Peter Beauchamp states that although in response to a petition he put to the king last Christmas, the king wrote to Robert Shotesbroke instructing him not to enter Peter's manor of Lydiard Tregoze, on 23 January in the twenty-first year of the king's reign Robert entered the manor and with force and . . . the petitioner's wife who was there. [Much of the right-hand side of this petition is missing, and it is hard to reconstruct what it left, but Peter states that he sued a writ of forcible entry against Robert, and it would seem that Robert in some way induced the jury to put aside their verdict against him. The matter is sent to arbitration, which Robert seems to have refused to abide by, despite his written agreement to do so, persuading the Earl of Somerset to pretend to a title and claim in the manor. Peter requests a letter to Robert Hungerford, and also that Robert Shotesbroke, Robert Long and John Rogers the younger be instructed to appear before the king and council on a certain day, and to bring before them the agreements Robert and Peter made under arbitration.]

Note (Additional information about the record)
- CPR 1441-6 p.312 is dated at Westminster, 30 October 1444: the petition must predate this, but can be dated more closely on internal evidence. The petitioner mentions a bill he put to the king on the subject 'atte Cristemasse last passed', and that nevertheless, Robert Shotesbroke entered his manor on 23 January in 'the yere of youre nobl' regne xxi', ie. 1443. This petition must have been delivered before Christmas 1443.
