- Nature of request
- Robert de Prestbury makes two complaints:1) He states that his goods and chattels, which he had delivered for safekeeping to the church of St Oswald in Gloucester, and other goods and chattels in the churches of Leckhampton and Prestbury, were seized by colour of his office by John de Hampton, then Sheriff of Gloucestershire, and adherent of Hugh le Despenser and Robert Baldok - who still has them. He requests a remedy.2) He states that John de Hampton, by colour of his office, arrested and imprisoned him, until he had made fine with Aymer de Valence in £80 - as can be seen from the rolls of Chancery for the thirteenth year. He has paid £40 of this, distrained by John de Hampton. He states that this is part of a conspiracy and requests a remedy.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- John de Hampton was Sheriff of Gloucestershire between 29 November 1318 and 28 December 1323. The petition must date from after his period of office: given the references to Hugh le Despenser and Robert Baldok, 'enemys de la tere', it would seem likely to date from c. 1327.
