- Nature of request
- Benedict de Paston and William le Leche of Broughton state that their uncle, Richard de Bromholm, whose heirs they are, died seised of certain tenements in Kirton in Lindsey, held of the manor of Kirton in Lindsey, but that, because they were under age and not living in that region, Margaret, Countess of Cornwall, in whose hand the manor was, seized these tenements; and when they came of age she would not let them have their inheritance. Now the manor is in the King's hand, and they ask that they might be able to have their inheritance as the law of the land requires.
- Nature of endorsement
- Lambert de Trikyngham, Walter de Friskeneye and Robert de Malberthorp, and two of them, are to be assigned to inquire into the truth of the matter, and they are to return the inquisition in Chancery, so that the Lord King might do further what is rightly to be done. And this is to be done in the presence of the Queen's bailiff, to be informed of this by the said justices, since the aforesaid tenements are in the Queen's hand.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- A note at the start of this file, dated 3 May 1932, states that 'The petitions in this file are copied in R. C. Transcripts I. 156, and appear to form part of an original file of petitions to the parliament of Michaelmas 1320. Cf. Parl. Proc. (Chancery) 5/4'. C 49/5/4 is merely a label, 'The petitions of William de Herlaston from the King's parliament held at Westminster at the octave of Michaelmas in his fourteenth year, which were answered by the auditors of petitions, delivered into Chancery to be expedited': nevertheless, this petition is tentatively dated to 1320, as many of those in the file that can be dated seem to come from that year.
