Reference
SC 8/59/2932
Date
[c. 1310]
Description
Petitioners
Catherine de Loundres (London), widow of John de Loundres (London).
Name(s)
de Loundres (London), Catherine
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Catherine, widow of John de Loundres, asks for a writ to the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer to allow £11 7s. 6d., which her late husband lent the king's father when he was in his service in Gascony, against £20 which the late king lent him at the same time, and which are now being demanded of her.
Nature of endorsement
Coram domino rege.She is to come before the Treasurer and Barons and show why she asks for an allowance for the debts owed to her husband, and if it is found that such a suit belongs to lay jurisdiction (?), she is to show her evidence for the debt; and the king is to be advised on this by the Treasurer, and to speak his will.
Places mentioned
Gascony, [France].
People mentioned
John de Loundres (London), formerly servant (valet) of the late king's household, husband of petitioner.
Note
Dated on the guard to '? 1307-10' and to 'prob. c. 1310' with reference to CCR 1307-13 p.195, an order to discharge John le Despenser, executor of the will and co-heir of John de London, of all debts due from John at his death, as the late king pardoned him these debts on account of his good service. This is dated 23 February 1310. The petition ought to date from before this date, but as these debts might have been overlooked it might well be later, especially in view of the French endorsement (although there have been French endorsements this early).
