Description
Petitioners
Laurence de Pavelly.
Name(s)
de Pavelly, Laurence
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Laurence de Pavelly states that his ancestors held certain lands of William Peverel for the service of a knight's fee, and, after William's forfeiture, his father held the lands of Edward I, and performed the service in his Welsh expeditions in his fifth and tenth years. However, despite this, scutage is being demanded of him for these same expeditions. He asks to be discharged of this demand.
Nature of endorsement
He is to sue to have whether he did his service or not taken from the roll of the Marshall in the Exchequer, and he is to show his charters there; and if the charters are such as the petition claims, and it is found that he did his service, he is to be discharged as is reasonable.

Note
Edited in Rot. Parl. vol. II p.43b (no. 58) among petitions ascribed to the parliament of November 1330. PROME, Appendix of Unedited Petitions, 1307-1337, Rotuli Parliamentorum II, pp. 31-51, no. 58 confirms that dating.
