Date
[? 1320]
Description
Petitioners
Archbishop, Dean and chapter of the church of Our Lady of Rouen.
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
The Archbishop, Dean and chapter of the church of Our Lady of Rouen state that Edward I, in ignorance, presented a clerk called Master Boniface to the chapel of Blyth or Tickhill, contrary to the gift to them of that chapel, made by King John when he was Count of Mortain. They have sued to recover the chapel, but with no success, and ask that this clerk might be removed and the gift to them of the chapel confirmed, and that this might not be prejudicial to them in future.
Nature of endorsement
Master Boniface, who holds the said chapel, is to be summoned before the King, to inform the King of his right; and the King, advised of this, will do what reason demands.

Note
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.CPR 1317-21 p.258, the revocation of the gift of the chapel of Tickhill to Henry de Burghersh, as Boniface de Saluciis, the previous incumbent, who was thought to be dead has been found to be alive, shows that Boniface was still living in January 1319.CIM 1307-49 nos.1798 and 1800 are much later inquisitions into this chapel, held in 1342.
