Reference
SC 8/44/2192
Date
[c. 1346]
Description
Petitioners
John Darcy; John de Grey of Codnor; Richard de Wylughby (Willoughby).
Name(s)
Darcy; de Grey; de Wylughby (Willoughby), John; John; Richard
Addressees
King and council
Nature of request
The petitioners show that Stuteville held ten knight fees from the progenitors of the king which have now come into the hands of many individuals. The king has an aid to knight his eldest son and this has been based on an earlier assessment. The sum of £20 is demanded from the petitioners for 10 fees for the manors of Kirkby, Barton and Bradmore, which were Stuteville's but by the service of one and a half fees. They requested an inquisition from the Exchequer that caused the collectors to be discharged. They request that they be discharged for all the sum except for one and a half fees since they can show that the others holding the other fees have fully paid.
Nature of endorsement
Let a writ be ordered under the great seal to the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer that when they have viewed the inquisition, if it is found that they hold the manors for one and a half fees and that the collectors are discharged, that then they are to discharge the petitioners notwithstanding the evidence found in the rolls of the Exchequer provided the king has been paid the sums from the other fees.
Places mentioned
Kirkby (Kirkby in Ashfield), [Nottinghamshire]
Barton (Barton in Fabis), Nottinghamshire]
Brademere (Bradmore), [Nottinghamshire]
People mentioned
Robert de Stuteville.
Note
The petition can be dated approximately to 1346 by reference to the knighting of Edward of Woodstock within the petition. Also, Feudal Aids, iv, p.116 gives the assessment for the relevant 1346 feudal aid, giving details recited in petition.
