Nature of request
Rugemund requests that she be able to have the grace of the king upon the matter that she brought by petition before the last parliament held at Westminster as the law of the land in this case reasonably demands. She was ordered to take a writ of Chancery to the justices of the king in the Common Bench to view the record and process of her plea and continue it before the chancellor, but he has done nothing.1) Copy of a petition by Rugemund requesting the grace of the king as she has been unable to recover messuages and lands in Holme by a writ against Thornton and Clerk who have enfeoffed others in the messuages by which they came into the possession of Andrew Harcla and have forfeited to the king.2) Copy of a writ of Edward II to William de Bereford ordering the sending of the record and process to the king.
