Reference
SC 8/78/3863
Date
[? 1330]
Description
Petitioners
John de Warenne, Earl of Surrey.
Name(s)
de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, John
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Warenne requests that the chancellor be ordered to assign him lands to the value of the third of the lands of Thomas Bardolf. He has Bardolf's lands until the heir is of full age, but Bardolf's widow has successfully sued him for a third of them.
Nature of endorsement
He should show what he has, and when the chancellor has viewed the record and process and called to him the justices and others of the council they should do what justice demands.
People mentioned
Thomas Bardolf
John [Bardolf], son and heir of Thomas Bardolf
Agnes [Bardolf], widow of Thomas Bardolf.
Note
The petition probably dates to 1330 as to grants to the earl of Surrey concerning the lands were issued on 27 February and 1 June 1330 (CFR 1327-37, p.164; CPR 1327-30, p.530). However neither of these seems to directly relate to the matter discussed in the petition, so it is possible that the petition is slightly earlier.
