Reference
SC 8/42/2058
Date
[1327-1332]
Description
Petitioners
Edmund Darrel (Darell).
Name(s)
Darrel (Darell), Edmund
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Darrel requests that he is able to have a writ to the chancellor and the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer to have payment of his wages or some suitable assignment be made to him. He served the king's father in peace and war, and was imprisoned for 5 years without cause to the great damage of his body and loss.
Nature of endorsement
Let it be ordered to the treasurer, barons and chamberlains of the Exchequer that when they have viewed the bill, if they find that the debt is still due that then they should make payment or a suitable assignment as quickly as they are able, receiving and charging.
Note
The petition is clearly in the reign of Edward III as it refers to an order made by the king's father. However it is more difficult to be more precise. Darrel was certainly dead by 1332 as individuals were commissioned to deliver York gaol of those who had been imprisoned there for his death (CPR 1330-4, p.289). He received a general pardon in 1329 for aiding the king in the late rebellion (CPR 1327-30, p.475). It is not clear how this petition related to SC 8/42/2059.
