Description
Petitioners
Richard de Chissebech.
Name(s)
de Chissebech, Richard
Addressees
King
Nature of request
Chissebeche shows that the high master held property and land from him in Temple Cowley and Church Cowley, which were seized by the king following the dissolution of the order. Chissebech seized the manor after the king removed his hand but was again ousted by the queen who claimed she held it in dower. He petitioned to parliament and was answered that he should take a writ of novel disseisin but the justice refused to proceed without an order from the king. Following the queen's death the lands are again in the king's hand. Chissebeche requests that the king will order that it be enquired whether the lands are of Chissebech and give his grace and remedy upon this.
Nature of endorsement
Foxley, Stonor and Bourne or two of them should be assigned to inquire upon the contents in this petition, and return the inquisition into Chancery.
Places mentioned
Temple Cowley, [Oxfordshire]
Churche Cowley, [Oxfordshire]
Hedyndon (Headington), [Oxfordshire]

Note
The petition must date to 1318 or shortly thereafter as it refers to the lands being in the king's hand by the death of Queen Margaret.
