Date
[c. 1335]
Description
Petitioners
Lapin Rogere.
Name(s)
Rogere, Lapin
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Lapin Rogere states that the king's father had granted him the office of Assayer of the Mint and Exchanger of the Exchange of Canterbury, for term of life, and the present king had confirmed this; and because Lapin owed the present king certain debts, the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer were ordered to account with him and to give him an allowance for these debts in the arrears of his fee, and to pay him the remainder. They do not wish to do this, as the office of Exchange at Canterbury is not held at present. He states that this is not his fault, and reiterates that £93 6s. 8d. is due to him in arrears of his fee, while £52 are demanded of him for the king; and asks that the Treasurer and Barons should be ordered again to account with him, and that, if they find it is so, that they should give him an allowance and payment as before.
Nature of endorsement
If such a writ as is mentioned in the petition is found in the rolls of Chancery, he is to have a writ of sicut alias, if it pleases the Chancellor.
Places mentioned
Canterbury, [Kent].
People mentioned
[Edward II], King of England.
Note
Dated on the guard to '? c. 1335', with reference to an incidental reference on the liberate roll. CPR 1327-30 p.264 is dated 7 May 1328.
