Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to the period of c. 1323. The body of Malemeyn and his lands were granted to the abbot of Langdon on 21 July 1322 (CPR 1321-4, p.184). On 4 April 1323 the abbot released his claim on the body and lands of Malemeyn, presumably in response to Malemeyn making three bonds in 40 marks to the abbot (CPR 1321-4, p.349; CCR 1318-23, p.703). The king finally granted a pardon and restitution of his lands to Malemeyn on 20 November 1323 (CPR 1321-4, p.184). It seems likely that the petition postdates this chain of events and represents Malemeyn's attempts to recover what he could from wasted estates.
