Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Roger de Morteyn (Mortain); Isabel de Morteyn (Mortain), wife of Roger de Morteyn, and one of the heirs of William Louth, late bishop of Ely.
- Name(s)
- de Morteyn (Mortain); de Morteyn (Mortain), Roger; Isabel
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- The petitioners requests that the lands that descended to them by the death of the bishop of which Tuchet is jointly feoffed as well as other lands be extended, and the debt that the bishop owed to the king at his death be apportioned between them and Tuchet according to the portion of the land that descended to them. In the meantime they request that the sum demanded from them for this debt in the Exchequer be respited. Although they do not hold the fourth part of the lands purchased by the bishop because Tuchet, a co-parcener in the purchases, is jointly enfeoffed of them, Tuchet has claimed that they hold a moiety of the lands by which they are charged for a moiety of the debts that the bishop owed to the king.
- Nature of endorsement
- Let it be ordered by writ of Chancery to the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer that they should enquire of all the lands and tenements which the late bishop of Ely held in fee on the day that he died in whosoever's hand they were come, and they are to have them assessed and the individual tenants be charged with the debts that the bishop owed to the king in proportion to the lands that they held. And in the meantime the petitioners who hold part of the land should have respite.
- People mentioned
- William Luwe (Louth), late Bishop of Ely
- William Tuchet.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1300 on the basis of an indirectly related pardon granted to the Morteyns for their acquisition of land from Tochet (CPR 1292-1301, p.540). It is unlikely that the grant of a pardon is too distant from this petition.
