- Nature of request
- The Earl of Hereford and Earl of Oxford state that after the death of Joan de Sanford, who held Lashbrook of the Earl of Oxford and Shelley of the Earl of Hereford, they seized these tenements into their hands, but because one John de Munteny claimed to be her heir and to hold of the king in chief, an inquest was held in three counties. In Oxfordshire and Essex it was found that she held nothing in chief, but the inquest in Suffolk, held partly with the villeins of John's kinsman Robert de Munteny, found that she did, so that the Earls were expelled from their manors. The Earl of Oxford complained and a new inquest was ordered in Suffolk, to be taken by Richard de Holebrok, but this was halted by a writ acquired by John de Munteny to associate William de Burle. The Earls dispute that Joan held any tenements in chief of the king in Suffolk or elsewhere, and ask for justice to be done to them.
