Reference
SC 8/59/2939
Date
[1307]
Description
Petitioners
John de Lucy and Walter de Bampton, assessors and collectors of the thirtieth and twentieth in Cumberland.
Name(s)
de Lucy; de Bampton, John; Walter
Addressees
King and council.
Places mentioned
Cumberland
Carlisle, [Cumberland].
Nature of request
John de Lucy and Walter de Bampton state that, for lack of assistance from the sheriff and bailiffs, who have been occupied with the prise of grain, carts and other royal needs, they have only been able to levy £30. They ask that someone might be appointed to whom they can pay this in the country, and ask for advice on what remains to be levied.
Nature of endorsement
A writ is to be sent to the Sheriff of Cumberland, to take the lands and tenements of the aforesaid assessors into the king's hand, together with all their goods and chattels, and to keep them until etc. And a writ is likewise to be sent to them to surrender their rolls at mid-Lent before the Treasurer at Carlisle, to pay the third part of the king's thirtieth due then.
Note
CPR 1301-7 p.456 is dated 22 July 1306. Northern Petitions pp.103-4 (no. 69) dates the petition to c.1306. However, the tax (granted on 30 May 1306) was due in three instalments between February and November 1307, while the endorsement refers to mid-Lent (presumably 1307), which would seem to date the petition to late-1306 or early-1307. Therefore, the petition was presumably presented at the Parliament which met at Carlisle on 20 January 1307.
