Donne; Donne, Roger; Juliana

Addressees

King and council

Nature of request

Roger atte Donne and Juliana his wife state that a suit which Juliana began in the fifth year of the king's reign, when she was single, for recovery of thirteen charters and a fine, against Nicholas de Reygate, has been delayed until now, through Nicholas' bribery, and because he had Juliana imprisoned as a result of a false complaint he brought against her. They request a remedy, so that they might have their law against [Nicholas] and against all others in their just demands, and execution of royal writs by the king's ministers, for themselves and for all poor people, as well as for the rich; and they also request damages.

Nature of endorsement

They are to be at common law.
