- Conestable (Constable), Robert
- Addressees
- King and council
- Nature of request
- Conestable shows that the keeping of the body and lands of Amand de Routh pertained to him because his father had held from him by knight service. Conestable has the keeping of the lands, but Amand refused to deliver himself to Conestable and resided with St Quintin and brought a targe of the king though the king had no rights. Conestable brought his writ of wardship against St Quintin and has long sued at the common law but the justices have refused to proceed to judgement as St Quintin showed his targe. Conestable requests that he be able to have writs to the justices that they proceed to judgement in the plea notwithstanding the targe that he can have law and reason.
- Nature of endorsement
- Let it be ordered to the justices of the Bench that when they have viewed the record and process of the plea whereof the petition makes mention, that then they should do justice to the parties notwithstanding orders of the privy seal. And if the cause is such that they do not wish to proceed in the process, that then they should certify the cause to the king.
