Full description and record details

Reference
SC 8/36/1799
Date
[1318-1319]
Description
Petitioners
Henry de Bucketon (Buckton) of Cornwall.
Name(s)
de Bucketon (Buckton), Henry
Addressees
King and council.
Places mentioned
Cornwall.
Nature of request
Bucketon states that he has been wrongly indicted of taking goods from a boat wrecked on the Cornish coast in 11 Edward II and was outlawed in the county court. He is prepared to stand at the common law and he requests that this thing be redressed.
Nature of endorsement
He should have a writ of venire facias.
Note
The petition is slightly problematic in dating for a very similar petition by the same petitioner, which appears to be more or less contemporary, survives as SC 8/36/1800. It is not inconceivable that the two petitions date to the same time, being simply slightly different versions surviving as near duplicates, but it seems more likely that they may represent submissions of almost identical petitions to separate parliaments, or resubmission to the council. A petition from Bucketon is listed among the business of the parliament of 1318, but without detail of its contents (Rot. Parl. Hac. Ined., p. 79). The petitions refer to events that occurred in August 1317, and the pardon was issued on 28 January 1219 (CPR 1317-21::p.270), so that the petitions are likely both to date to 1318-1319, and may well have been presented at the parliaments held on 20 October 1318 and 20 January 1319. Because this petition contains less detail, it is perhaps the earlier.
