She says that these debts were for money spent by Aymer in the king's service, and that he spent much more of his own money and borrowed greatly, to the extent that she now cannot pay the debts he owes. She asks the king to assign her some suitable sum in money or goods in allowance for the goods taken by his father, so that she may begin to pay her husband's debts. She states that she has previously petitioned the council on this matter, but has had no response.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- This petition must date from between the accession of Edward III and 1 February 1333, the date of CPR 1330-4 p.404, which seems to be the resolution of this claim. It would appear to be later than SC 8/66/3265, which, even though it is addressed to the king, may be the earlier petition to the council mentioned here which received no response.
