-
- Petitioners
- Reginald de Heghescorthe
- Name(s)
- de Heghescorthe, Reginald
- Addressees
- King and council
- Nature of request
- Reginald de Heghescorthe states that he was arrested and kept in a harsh prison by Thomas Fournyvale, who claimed that he was one of his villeins, whereas he claims to be a free man. During this time his wife brought three writs before the Sheriff of Yorkshire, to have his estate tried before the justices of the King's Bench, but the Sheriff made away with two of them without returning them, and in the meantime stole Reginald's goods and chattels. By virtue of the third writ he pleaded as far as an inquest, but by conspiracy between the Sheriff and Thomas Fournyvale the inquest was procured. He has no way of maintaining his right, and requests that a remedy be ordained in parliament.
- Nature of endorsement
- He is to have a writ based on the statute, to put on the inquisition the most loyal of those who are not suspect and of those living closest, who can and dare speak the truth on this.
- Places mentioned
- Yorkshire
- People mentioned
- Thomas Fournyvale (Furnival)

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to '? c. 1355', with reference to CPR 1354-8 p.233 and CFR 1356-68 p.322. CPR 1354-8 p.233 however, dated March 10 1355, is a commission of oyer et terminer on complaint by a John Bret that at Thomas Fournyval of Sheffield abducted his wife and goods: there seems to be no particular reason to think that it is the same man, other than the reference to the Sheriff of Yorkshire. If this is the same Thomas de Fournyvale, he was dead by 28 April 1365 (CFR 1356-68 p.322), so the petition must date from before that date.
