SC 8/72/3581
Date
[c. 1306-c. 1312]
Description
Petitioners
William Sternefeld.
Name(s)
Sternefeld, William
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Sternefeld requests that the king grant him the land in the form that the Earl Marshal granted him it in Bosham for his life, and that he be quit of certain offices.
Nature of endorsement
Let an inquisition ad quod damnum be held.
Places mentioned
Bosham, [Sussex].
People mentioned
[Roger Bygod, Earl of Norfolk and] Earl Marshal.
Note
The Earl Marshal must be Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk (d.1306). The petition could date to shortly after the surrender of his estates to the king by Bygod in 5 Ed I, but the hand would seem inconsistent. Instead, it probably dates to the period between the death of Roger and the creation of Thomas of Brotherton as Earl of Norfolk in 1312.
