Description
Petitioners
Richard Foliot
Name(s)
Foliot, Richard
Addressees
King
Nature of request
Richard Foliot states that although Jordan Foliot, his son, obliged himself by an indenture to aquit him of all debts of Jewry which Jordan owed to Benedict de Lundres, a Jew of Lincoln, before the Tuesday before the feast of Our Lady in August, 1275, for lands and rents which Richard gave him in the vill of Eakring, he did not do so. He asks the king to have pity on his feebleness and to order that the £40 which the king has ordered by his writ to be levied from him, for this debt, might be levied from Jordan's lands, and cease to be demanded from Richard; and that Jordan might be forced by law to aquit Richard of this debt, or to release himself from the acquittance.
Nature of endorsement
A writ is to be issued for him, that he is to be heard before the justices of the Jews, and that justice is to be done to him.
Places mentioned
Nichole (Lincoln), [Lincolnshire]
Eakring, (Nottinghamshire)
People mentioned
