- Nature of request
- John de Beaufou states that as the king was given to understand that Robert Peverel and Walter de Langton, formerly Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, held of him in chief as of his crown, the king seized the body of Edmund, son and heir of Robert, and kinsman and heir of Walter, being under age, into his hand, together with his lands and tenements, and granted the keeping of the lands and the marriage of the heir to Robert del Idle. By virtue of this commission, Robert del Idle has seized Walter de Langton's lands in Ashley, although they are held not of the king but of John de Beaufou - as is proved by inquest returned in Chancery. John asks that the grant be repealed with regard to these tenements and the marriage of the heir, and that justice be done to him, according to the form of the inquests.
- Nature of endorsement
- Coram rege.A writ is to be sent to the justices of the High Bench, together with a transcript of the inquests returned in Chancery on this. And the justices are to have Robert come before them, to find out if he knows any reason why the king should not do justice to the plaintiff; and when the arguments for the king and for the party have been heard, the justices are further to do justice and reason.
