Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Roger de Nonaunt.
- Name(s)
- de Nonaunt, Roger
- Addressees
- King and council
- Nature of request
- Nonaunt requests that he be able to have a writ to the justices to proceed in the assize of novel disseisin which he has brought against the Montagu and others for his free tenement notwithstanding the seisin of Queen Eleanor as they do not wish to answer because of a composition made with her.
- Nature of endorsement
- He should declare before whom the assize is pending and show the composition in Chancery so that it might be seen if the king is bound to uphold the composition, and if it found that the business does not concern the king in such a way that the justices are able to proceed without prejudice to the king, then it should be ordered to them to proceed. If it concerns the king and the justices cannot proceed without prejudice to the king then he should show the composition before the king and council, and there let a remedy be given.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition, as the guard comments notes, is likely to date to early in Edward II's reign as the petition refers to Queen Eleanor as mother of the king, and the petitioner was perhaps exploiting the accession of a new king to promote his claims.
