- Nature of request
- The petitioners show that Coperas died suddenly without making a testament in 15 Edward I whereupon Grange and others have taken his lands, tenements and chattels by means of a false testament made shortly after he had died when they should have escheated into the hand of the king because no certain heir was known, and had it proved by Symplyngham to the disinheritance of the petitioners. They have granted the lands and tenements to religious and lay men and have obstructed the petitioners for three years and more to their great damage. They request remedy and that the king summon before the auditors of pleas Grange, Clerk and Lock and convict them of this by valid verdict of a jury.
- Nature of endorsement
- In Chancery to have the inheritance; and before the bishop to recover their chattels.
