- Petitioners
- John de Lancaster, cousin and heir of Alice who was the wife of Walter de Huntercombe.
- Name(s)
- de Lancaster, John
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- The petitioner asks the king to resolve the enmity and discord between him and Ralph le Fitz William over a moiety of the estate of Alice in accordance with custom and the law of the land. An inquest [upon a writ of] of diem clausit extremum (for Alice) was taken and returned into chancery in 1313-14, which found that the petitioner was her next heir. He sought to enter into his inheritance according to the custom of chancery and of the realm, but only had livery of a moiety of the estate; the other was taken out of his hands in the king's court and is thus without lordship, homage, fealty, relief, wardship and marriage, to the petitioner's disinheritance.
- Nature of endorsement
- John de Haverington, attorney for John de Lancaster.The moiety was acquired because Ralph Fitz William showed a fine in court that it was held for her (Alice's) lifetime and that Ralph was owed the remainder. The king sent a [writ of] precipe to the escheator to take into his hands the same moiety.
