Full description and record details

Reference
SC 8/35/1748
Date
[c. 1357]
Description
Petitioners
Thomas de Brandon
Name(s)
de Brandon, Thomas
Addressees
King and council
Nature of request
Brandon shows that he and other freeholders of tenements that were Lymbergh, Causton and Nottingham's are prosecuted in the Exchequer for a demand for £10,000, of which sum they are rightfully discharged in the Exchequer by the advice of some of his council. He requests that the king and council ordain that they are henceforth discharged since they have been acquitted by great deliberation and high judgement.
Nature of endorsement
[None]
People mentioned
Tideman Lymbergh
Richard de Causton
Thomas de Notyngham (Nottingham)
[John Thoresby], Archbishop of York and Chancellor
[William Edington], Bishop of Winchester and Treasurer
John de Wynewyk (Winwick)
John de Beauchampe (Beauchamp)
Note
The reference to the discharge being issued with the advice of the Archbishop of York, then chancellor, and the bishop of Winchester, then treasurer places this firmly after 29 November 1356 when William Edington, bishop of Norwich, then the treasurer, replaced John Thoresby, the archbishop of York, as treasurer. It seems safe to assume that it cannot realistically be much earlier than 1357, though the attribution 1358 on the guard is unexplained.
