Reference
SC 8/62/3068
Date
[c. 1357]
Description
Petitioners
Alexander de Moubray (Mowbray).
Name(s)
de Moubray (Mowbray), Alexander
Addressees
King and council.
Places mentioned
Scotland.
Nature of request
Moubray requests that his Scottish lands be included in the other conditions of the treaty in case that peace is arranged between England and Scotland so that he is able to be restored to his land which he has lost by his adherence to the king. He has served the king for a long time in his wars at great cost and leaving his Scottish lands without any recompense or reward.
Nature of endorsement
This bill is not able to be answered at present for certain reasons.
Note
This difficult to date. SC 8/62/3066 seems clearly to date to 1361. While this petition is making basically the same request, the reference to the making of a treaty may suggests that the petition is a little earlier than 1361, and may possibly precede the treaty of Berwick in October 1357.
