- Nature of request
- The petitioners ask the king to grant a licence to Master Richard Tysho to cross the sea to the court of Rome to defend and pursue their case and the rights of their church. They show that through the king's ancestors and by Hubert, Archbishop of Canterbury, and other bishops, the church established certain canons, vicars, priests, and other ministers of Holy Church in residences that pay a certain sum of silver, as appears in their muniments and paid as long as men can remember until now. They are paid only warrants in the church and the residents demand the aforesaid silver according to their muniments etc. Several non-residents had pleas before the chancellor's officer, who by lack of council and negligence did not allow the proper evidences and muniments to be shown and his judgement against the residents has done the petitioners great harm, and so they have appealed to the court of Rome.
