- Nature of request
- Osbern de Espaudyngton makes two requests.1) He asks the king to summon Osbern's accusers before him and his auditors, and if Osbern cannot clear himself of their evil accusations, then the king may do as he pleases with his body and land as his lord, for he has never committed any trespass against him. He also complains that the king's people have taken almost all his possessions, so that he is reduced to depending on the generosity of his friends. He asks the king that he might have his charters and deeds, which were taken into the king's hands, and that he might be able to have enough from his goods to pay the redemption which he was lent to have his deliverance from prison.2) He asks the king to deliver to him the land which belonged to Robert de Espaulington who died at Stirling Bridge in the king's service, whose heir he is, as the inquest has been returned in Chancery, and Osbern is ready to do for the king what he ought to do.
- Nature of endorsement
- Coram rege.To the first petition: the king will consider it when he has time.To the second: he is to sue the inquisition which has been held, and if it is found that he is the next heir, justice is to be done to him according to the law etc.These petitions are extracted because they ought to be returned before the Chancellor.
