- Nature of request
- The Caumviles show that they have sued before the steward and merchants of the king for three years or more against the executors of William de Say for a substantial debt for which he was bound to them. They have been greatly aggrieved and put to great cost because Elizabeth de Say, an executrix of Say will not come, and without whom the other executors are not able to answer, and they are long delayed. They request remedy or they will be ruined.
