Description
Petitioners
William Knagger, Burgess of Scarborough
Name(s)
Knagger, William
Addressees
King
Occupation
Burgess of Scarborough
Nature of request
The petitioner complains that whereas in ancient times the town of Scarborough was enclosed of the sea now it has receded except for the occasional remnant and the town has grown, and haulage is required to come to the same sea. The petitioner asks the king to grant him leave of haulage across one place from the sea, which until recently was close to his residence in the town.
Nature of endorsement
[On face] Let the petitioner have a writ of ad quod dampnum.
Places mentioned
Scardeburgh (Scarborough), [North Riding of Yorkshire]
Note
The commission ad quod dampnum arising from this petition was issued in 1303 (C 143/41/9), so the petition probably dates from that year; the resulting licence was issued in 1304 (CPR 1301-7, pp. 219-20).
