Nature of request
William de Beuchamp, Earl of Warwick makes two requests:1) He states that although he has his wood in the Forest of Dean, and his land in Lydney, the King's constable of St Briavels has taken his iron mine, to the destruction of his wood and to his prejudice. He requests that amends be made to him as justice demands.2) Although he holds Cottesmore in Rutland in chief of the king, Thomas de Clare has given him to understand that he holds it, and has exchanged it with Robert de Mucegros, who has done homage to the king for it. He requests justice.
Nature of endorsement
[The responses are written on the face, under each to the requests. To the first:]Ralph de Sandwic, the Steward, is to be written to, to inquire into this; and the king is to be informed.[To the second:]Thomas de Clare is to be called on a certain day, the arguments of the Earl and of Thomas are to be heard, and what is rightly to be done is then to be done.
