Reference
SC 8/49/2418
Date
[c. 1373]
Description
Petitioners
Hugh de Glemesford (Glemsford)
Name(s)
de Glemesford (Glemsford), Hugh
Addressees
King
Nature of request
Glemesford requests a remedy concerning ten acres of meadow which Clopton ordered Parker to seize for the use of the earl of Stafford though he does not know the earl or anyone of his council, and without cause, by which Glemesford dare not enter the meadow because of Clopton's maintenance to his loss. Clopton had maintained Alice de Wytnesham in an assize of novel disseisin and by conspiracy for a long time. Glemesford could not have peace until the Greys and others intervened and put the case in arbitration where it was found that Wytnesham had no title or right. Clopton did not wish to cease the suit or maintenance until he and the other were satisfied, and Glemesford made a fine in 25 marks, Clopton taking £10 for which he wished Glemesford to grant 300 acres of pasture for 3 years, by which he and other ceased their maintenance.
Nature of endorsement
He should sue at the common law.
Places mentioned
Suffolk
Cavendish, [Suffolk]
People mentioned
William de Clopton, knight
John de la Lee, Robert Giffard

Thomas [de Grey], son of Alice de Grey
John Daspal
Richard Froysel
John de Mortimer
Richard Parker of Southwode (Southwood)
Earl of Stafford
Note
The petition probably dates to c. 1373 as it seems unlikely that this petition would long postdate the inquisition post mortem of Roger Grey who was the son of Alice Grey and the brother of Thomas Grey mentioned in this petition (CIPM Vol. XIII, no.109, pp.84-6).
