Roger Lysewy.

Name(s)

Lysewy, Roger

Addressees

King.

Nature of request

Lysewy states that the abbot has claimed to the council for the reversion of the manor of Whitefield which his predecessors had leased to Weyvill for his life, and he is now dead. The abbot has proceeded to sue, but by this process the king's rights will be impaired, and Lysewy, to whom the king had granted the manor for his life, would be wrongfully kept from his estate. Lysewy requests that the king charge his council and justices that judgement should not be rendered to his prejudice or that of his estate without determining the defence and evidences that Lysewy would wish to say for the king and himself.
