Description
Petitioners
Gruffydd ap Peredur of the commote of Talypont.
Name(s)
Peredur, Gruffydd
Addressees
King and council
Nature of request
Peredur requests the king grant to him grace and remedy as he is aggrieved and unjustly distrained to pay the extent and annual rent for his inheritance of which his father died in the last war in Wales. And the late king gave his grace to the heirs of all those who died at that time. Because Peredur was so young and weak that he could not come to the king he is now distrained to pay the extent and rent, and asks to pay only the annual rent.
Nature of endorsement
It seems to the council that if it pleases the king, that it be ordered to the justice or his lieutenant that they be ordered that they inform themselves upon the things contained in this petition and certify etc.
Places mentioned
Talypont (Tal-y-bont), [Merioneth, Wales]
Meryonnyd (Merioneth), [Wales].
