SC 8/42/2073
Date
[1340]
Description
Petitioners
Robert de Denton.
Name(s)
de Denton, Robert
Addressees
King and council
Nature of request
Denton requests that he be restored to his office of coroner in the liberty of Holderness according to the form of his letters. He was granted the bailiwick for his good service, but was ejected by Longleis who is now dead, and the bailiwick is wrongly in the hand of the king.
Nature of endorsement
If his disseisors in the assize of novel disseisin are dead, he should recover at the common law according as the case demands.
Places mentioned
Holderness, [East Riding of Yorkshire].
People mentioned
William Longleis, late bailiff of the king.
Note
The petition dates to 1340 since Denton was granted the office on 21 June 1340 (CPR 1338-40, p.545). The petition is unlikely to be any later than 1341 as one Thomas de Lyndelowe was granted the office on 20 January 1341 (CPR 1340-3, p.83).
