[? 1331-? 1335]
Description
Petitioners
Brother Thomas de Eyton
Name(s)
de Eyton, Thomas
Addressees
King and council
Nature of request
Brother Thomas de Eyton states that Thomas, Earl of Lancaster has obtained permission from the Abbot of Selby for brother Thomas to live in his household: which he did until he was made sub-prior of Tutbury, where he remained during the lifetime of the Earl; and then, at the king's request, the Abbot and convent of Marmoutier appointed him as Prior of Holy Trinity, York. However, as he was travelling to York to take up this post, the Abbot of Selby's men seized him, took his horses, gear and treasure, and are still holding him in prison. He requests a remedy.
Nature of endorsement
It seems to the council that the king has nothing to do with the discipline of the Abbot and his fellow-monk.
