Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Henry de Buketon (Buckton), of Cornwall
- Name(s)
- de Buketon (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 Edw. II and was outlawed in the county court though he knew nothing of this as he was in the Isles of Scilly. He is prepared to stand at the common law and he requests that this thing be redressed as he was overseas at the time of the outlawry, and requests remedy.
- Nature of endorsement
- He should have a writ to bring the record and process of outlawry into Chancery, and further there is to be a charter pardoning the outlawry provided that he immediately surrenders himself to the king's prison in Cornwall and stand to right to the king and others.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is slightly problematic in dating for a very similar petition by the same petition, which appears to be more or less contemporary, survives as SC 8/36/1799. 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 more detail, it is perhaps the later.
