- Petitioners
- Nicholas Est (East) of Heston
- Name(s)
- Est (East), Nicholas
- Addressees
- King and council and lords of parliament
- Nature of request
- Nicholas Est states that although he and his family have always been free, because he holds three acres of bondland in Heston, although paying an increment for it to hold it as a free man, the villeins of the manor are maliciously claiming in the manor court that he is a villein. He requests a remedy, so that he and his children can be free as their ancestors have been, and not distrained to perform villein services.
- Nature of endorsement
- This bill is to be sent into Chancery and a command is to be issued there to suitable people from the country to inquire diligently into the matter of this petition and its circumstances; and when that inquisition has been returned in the said Chancery, and the king's serjeants and others who should be called have been called, justice is to be done on this on the advice of the king's council.
