Reference
SC 8/82/4075
Date
[? 1320]
Description
Petitioners
Hamo de Chiggewell (Chigwell), Mayor of the city of London.
Name(s)
de Chiggewell (Chigwell), Hamo
Addressees
King.
Places mentioned
London
Soper Lane, [London]
Evechepynges, [London]
Cornhill, [London].
Nature of request
Chiggewell requests that his actions concerning the segregation of foreign poulterers, and removal of the market for old clothes at the Evechepynges to Cornhill be accepted and affirmed by the king's letters under the great seal so that his decisions be durable.
Nature of endorsement
He should certify the king of these things and of other things that he has done for the common profit, and the king is to be advised upon this. 2) Coram rege.
Note
The petition probably dates to 1320 like the rest of the file and Chigwell was mayor for part of 1320. However Chigwell was mayor on three subsequent occasions, the last ending in 1328, so the petition is potentially that late. The petition is endorsed in French, so it is possible that the petition is post 1322.
