Brice le Daneys.

Name(s)

Daneys, Brice

Addressees

King and council

Nature of request

Daneys shows that Henry III granted to the earl of Chester by his charter the honour of Huntingdon, which county is divided into three. Daneys has complained by writ in the Bench that Holm distrained him in Rutland to come to the county and hundred courts against the franchise of the charter of King Henry and against the current king's confirmation. Holm has said before the justices of the Bench that he cannot answer without the king, and because the countess of Cornwall holds it at will from the king. He requests that he should be quit [from attending the courts] according to the purport of the charter, or that the king order the justices to proceed in the plea.

Nature of endorsement

It is commanded to the justices that they should bring the record before the council and let a remedy by given there.
