- Nature of request
- Simon de Drayton states that he was falsely indicted by the malevolence of William de Cleydon, when he was holding inquests at Rockingham, as lieutenant of Aymer de Valence, Justice of the Forest south of the Trent, and that William gained assent to this indictment through threats, and through imprisoning those who refused to assent in Rockingham castle; Simon wishes to prove his innocence through the ministers of the Forest and through the country. This indictment happened since the time of the Ordinances, and, as it is contrary to them, Simon asks that it might be annulled.
