Reference
SC 8/79/3945
Date
[c. 1319-c. 1328]
Description
Petitioners
Common people of the realm.
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
The people request another remedy as the statute made at the parliament lately held at York which ordained that common judgement be given in all churches of the realm on maintainers of false quarrels and other points has not stopped such quarrels because the judgement is not given to the ruin and disinheritance of the people.
Nature of endorsement
[None]
Places mentioned
York.
Note
The petition is dated to c. 1319-c. 1328 as the guard notes the range of dates to be c. 1318-c. 1328 based on references in the petition to a parliament lately held at York. Why 1318 was adopted is not clear, since parliaments were held at York in 1319, 1320, 1322 and 1328, nor is the reason for the terminal date clear, but there is at this stage no better dating evidence.
Held by
