- Nature of request
- Cleterne shows that she was abducted from her manor by Culwen and others from her manor to Aykhurst castle and was held there until rescued by the power and aid of Lucy. Now the malefactors by their proctors are seeking charters of pardon. She requests that for the honour of women that this peace be denied them, because charters of pardon are so commonly granted by the procurement of those close to the king, regardless of the statute lately made so that the law is no longer feared especially on the March as they can flee to Scotland after committing their felonies.
- Nature of endorsement
- He does not wish them to have pardons.

- Ellenborough, Cumberland
- Aykhurst Castle [unidentified].
- People mentioned
- Richard de Cleterne, late husband of petitioner
