Joan de Stoteville of Normandy, widow of Nicholas de Stoteville.
Name(s)
de Stoteville, Joan
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Stoteville requests dower from the English lands of her late husband which have been in the king's hand for the past 2 years during the minority of the heir.
Nature of endorsement
She should go to Chancery, and let the inquisitions returned upon the diem clausit extremum be viewed, and if she should have dower, let her have dower.
Places mentioned
Normandy, [France].
People mentioned
Nicholas de Stoteville, husband of the petitioner.
Note
The petitioner's husband was restored to his English lands in 1328 so that the petition must date to sometime after this (SC 8/72/3586). However, the date is difficult to narrow down and can only be speculatively dated to within the reign of Edward III.
