- Name(s)
- Wickwane, William
- Addressees
- King
- Occupation
- Archbishop of York
- Nature of request
- The Archbishop of York states that the church of Knaresborough is a prebend of York, but that because Archbishop Walter de Gray presented Philip de Eye at the request of the King of Almaine, the present Earl of Cornwall presented Alan de Walkingham. This resulted in a law-suit between the Earl, the king and the Archbishop, which found that the right was the king's. The Archbishop put in his claim that this church is a prebend of his church of York, but could not have it heard; and he cites the record and enrolment of the justices on this. The Archbishop and church of York ask the king to examine their deeds from his ancestors, and to hold an inquisition if he wish, and to let the church have what belongs to it. And the archbishop is prepared to pay for this.
- Nature of endorsement
- Execution is to take place in the king's court, by the lords A. Bek, W. de Helym and J. de Kirk.
