Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
The petitioners, people of the town of Lymington, request remedy concerning a suit of trespass sued against them by the mayor, bailiffs and people of Southampton where, by the maintenance of Despenser and Stapledon, judgement was awarded against them and damages of £200 awarded to those of Southampton. The chancellor, treasurer and barons will do nothing without award of parliament.
Nature of endorsement
Let it be ordered by a writ to the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer that when they have called to them certain wise people of the king's council and brought the process before them, if they find that an error was made, they are to make amends and do justice to the parties.
Places mentioned
Lymington, [Hampshire]
Southampton, [Hampshire].
People mentioned
Mayor, bailiffs and other people of the town of Southampton
Roger le Beler
Hugh le Despenser the elder
[Walter Stapledon], Bishop of Exeter.
Note
The petition presumably dates to 1327 as it refers to the judgment being awarded against them being made by the maintenance of the elder Despenser and the bishop of Exeter. The dispute must have been ongoing as the mayor and commonalty were making similar complaints against the men of Lymington in 1328 (CPR 1327-30, p.286).
