Description
Petitioners
William Waldene.
Name(s)
Waldene, William
Addressees
King and council.
Places mentioned
Holderness, [East Riding of Yorkshire].
Nature of request
Waldene requests a grant of the office of coroner of Holderness as he has served the king's father for 27 years without reward.
Nature of endorsement
It is attested before the council that this office has been granted to another.
Note
The petition is dated to c. 1307 because the petition refers to the long service of the petitioner to the king's father (Edward I), though makes no mention of service to the current king, so it seems likely that this petition is addressed to Edward II very early in his reign.
