[c. 1324]
Description
Petitioners
John de Carreu (Carrew), son and heir of John de Carrew.
Name(s)
de Carreu (Carrew), John
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Carreu shows that the manor of Carew has ultimately come into the hand of the king with the body of the petitioner where it remained seised until Thomas Carreu bribed the escheator to remove the king's hand wrongfully and without process to the loss of the king and the disinheritance of the petitioner. He requests that the manor be taken back into the hand of the king as entirely as the escheator was seised.
Nature of endorsement
Coram rege.Let this petition be ordered into Chancery, and the chancellor with others of the council having called before them in Chancery the parties and having heard their arguments and viewed the inquisitions and the records concerning this business, they should do justice.
Places mentioned
Carew, Pembrokeshire, [Wales].
People mentioned
John de Carreu (Carrew), late father of the petitioner
Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke
Thomas de Carreu (Carrew).
Note
The petition appears to date to the period c. 1324, Carreu's father's lands being taken into the king's hand in June and July 1324, and Carreu was still a ward in 1326 (CFR 1319-27, pp.288, 290, 300, 419).
