Description
Petitioners
John de Mounsigres.
Name(s)
de Mounsigres, John
Addressees

Nature of request
Mounsigres requests that the protection purchased by Bray is not granted as Bray has delayed Mounsigres' suit against him by claiming that he is in the service of the king, though he is not able to serve him because of his great age. Mounsigres brought a writ against Bray for his great-grandfather's land in the manor of East Haddon but is delayed.
Nature of endorsement
The bill is not reasonable.
Places mentioned
East Haddon, Northamptonshire.
People mentioned
Henry le Bray
John Moriz.
Note
The petition is likely to date to 1333, as Bray, described as 'of East Haddon' received letters of protection for his time in Ireland in the company of the justiciar there (CPR 1330-4, p.461).
